Even this program means further
seif-denial by the Allies next year.
They are making this sacrifice in the
common cause. We must maintain
the health and strength of every hu-
man being among them or they will
be unable to put their fullest strength
alongside our own In the supreme
effort.
IF we survey our ability to meet
this demand we find that while our
wheat production this year is better
than last year, our products of other
cereals is less. We have had severe
losses through drouth In many sec
tions. On the balance our resources
are no larger than last year We
find. however that we can give this
Increase in food supplies of $3.50, 900
tons over last year and still have n
margin over the amount necessary to
maintain our own health and
strength.
"Of our own products we must
secure a reduction in consumption
and waste in the two great groups OF,
first, bread stuffs; and second meats
and fats; that Is. in all bread and
cereals. beef, pork, poultry, dairy
and vegetable-oll products. The aver
age consumption of our people OF
bread stuffs amounts to about six
pounds per week and OF meats and
fats TO four pounds per person per
week. A reduction in consumption OF
less than one-half pound per person
per week In each of these two great
groups of foods would accomplish
our purpose.
This is not rationlng- "A thing we
will not have If our people continue
10 support us as IN the past We are
simply making an appeal to the in
telligcnce In the homes and public
eating places In America to work out
for themselves the means and manner
of saving Our simple formula for
this year is to further reduce CON
sumption and waste of all foods.
What we need is to reduce directly
our consumption or all foodstuffs.

staples.
ut is necessary that every family
in the United States study its food
budgets and food ways TO see II 1t

nothing to the kitchen and practice

LIBERTY BONO PRIMER
THE WHEAT GROWERS DEBT

How much does the American wheat
grower W to the United States
Navy?
OF course, he owes his share of APP
probation for the defense of his
country. He may owe the preserva-
ton of his farm and home But that
is dealing in incalculables.
What actual money, countable and
beyond all doubt, does he owe at the
present time?
We have always been a big wheat
exporting country. 1t is that we
could comfortably consume more of
our wheat at home than we are 10
ing now; but we never have consum-
ed it ali, or anything approaching all
of it, az home, and there is no reason
to believe that we could, especially
a bumper crop like this years.
If u export of wheat were cut off,
the wheat grower would not be get
ting So a bushel for his wheat. He
probably would not be getting 81 80.
And the boys of the United States
Navy and of that of Great Britain are
the people who have prevented the
cutting off of all possibility of ship
ping it across the seas.
The American farmer has trouble
getting labor. True, his expenses are
high. True. But he is going to make
a big profit from his wheat crop this
year just the same, because 1t is n
big crop at a big price. If he had no
export markets for that crop, il is
doubtful if he could have broken even.
The U. s. Navy is directly responsible
for a large part of that profit. Its
men nearly frOze in the North Sea
last winter for him. They are risk
ing their lives laying mines and pro
tecting ships from submarines in the
most dangerous spots of the seas
every day and night for him this sum
mer.
Wouldn't 1t he n very decent thing
for every wheat grover TO buy one
extra Liberty Bond in the Fourth
campaign with a part of the profit the
boys of the u. S. N. have saved for
him, and consider that some of the
money which zoe to help equip them
and care for them comes from that
particular bond?

THAT OTHER ARMY

Not only America. but all the world
is singing the praises of the Yanks
They have had their baptism of fire
and have nobly stood the test. They
have carried the fight to the enemy
with a dash and vim that has been
irresistible. They have vanQuished
the best of the crack Prussian divis.
ion set TO stay their advance. They
have upheld every tradition Of Ameri.
can arms and have thrown a chill of
apprehension into the very heart of
the German hordes. They are win
ming their crosses every day.
But there is another army of which
no American is proud. nor eve can
be-that army of n-buyers of Lib
erty Bonds-that army of sIackersl
In IT are the pacifists, the dollar
pinchers and the prO-Germans, the
Bringing co~ntemptibles of earth, and
the SNUG, self-satisfied apostles of
ease, content to LET others serve.
This is the army that is fast get
ting beyond pardon.
Thank God you are not in it,
Buy your Bonds and put a service
star on your p~ocketbOOk.

FRONTIERS OF E

Freedoms first seed was sOwn when
the Pilgrim Fathers stepped ashore
mt Plymouth Rock more than a cen
fury ago. Prior to their sailing Lib
erty had been only a dream in the
minds of men. Absolute despotism
had ruled the world.
And litiip they dreamed of the har.
vest that would eventually come.
The first fruits came in the Decla.
ration of Independence. The first
real harvest was these United States
of America, ''of the people, for the
people and by the people," dedicated
70 the rights and liberties of free men
for all time.
And now the Ieaven of freedom is
working half way round the world
It's frontiers are extending in every
Erection. Despotism is doomed
! iberty's day is dawning for the world
at large.
And America is seeting the pace,
blazing the trails, and inspiring the
downtrodden of all countries to de
miand a greater measure of privilege
n the regulation of their rights, their
Individual liberties and their govern
ments.
Out of it all will come, when This
world holocaust is finally %extinguish
cd, an Unprecedented era of peace
md world freedom.
War will be shelved as a relic of n
bygone barharism. For. as never be
fore, the old world is war weary: ap-
nalled ut the wanton destruction of
human life. and near to bankruptcy
from the imperative wastage Of
treasure.
1t is we'll worth fighting for.
And that is the big incentive TO the
apostles of freedom. For with IL
must come the putting aside of the
H%nhenzollerns and the H%apshurps :
he finish of Prussianism: the end for
HI absolute monarchies. and n Ger
aaanv of new ideals ana go~nrnmcnt.
None of us hut would w.t. p This :
none but hope to see thai Gn...
And all of us must lend orr hands
and our dollars to help the fight.
