ALLIES ARE FED
BY SELF DENIAL
Generous Doing Without il
America Supplied Food
to Europe.

Exports from this country since it
entered the war have kept starvation
from Allied Europe and have main
tanned the health and strength Of those
who have been bearing the brunt OF
our battles, so that they could hold
out to victory. Now that hostilities
have ceased we must assume the add
ed burden of keeping starvation from
increasing it's toll upon the millions
who have been liberated from the
Prussian yoke. Famine would undo
the work which has been accomplished
in freeing the world for democracy. No
stable government can be established
and maintained by a nation harassed
by hunger A starving people turns
to rioting and anarchy. Food has
given strength and courage to the ma
tons fighting for democracy; 1t must
now give the nations strength and
tranquility to re-establish themselves
in freedom and democracy.
Without our help it would have been
absolutely impossible for the Allies to
maintain a living ration. Since our
entry into the war we have been con-
tributing largely to the support of one
hundred and twenty million people
whose normal food supplies have been
cut off, whose production has fallen
almost to the vanishing point, whose
fields have been devastated by Ger
many. The food exported from the
United States in the past year has
been sufficient to supply the complete
ration of twenty-five million people.
1t is hard to grasp the magnitude
and significance Of the assistance
which has been lent the Allies By the
patriotic, voluntary service Of the
American people, The food we sent
abroad last year would have been suf-
ficient to feed one-fifth of our popula-
ton And this was done in spite Of
the fact that we entered the year with
short crops. Our surplus was practi-
cally nothing. An overwhelming pro
portion of the food that left this coun-
try last year was saved out of the nor
NAL home consumption Of our own
people,
In spite of difficulties met in inter-
nal transportation and shortage of
ocean tonnage our food exports last
year amounted to a figure that a few
years ago would have been unbelieva-
BILE. Even the most optimistic element
Of our population faced with anxious
CONSERVATION the prospect which
opened before us with the beginning
of the 1917 harvest year.
The American people have not been
compelled to save. They have been
appealed to on the basis of humanity
and of patriotism. They have re-
sponded voluntarily.

WAR SAVINGS PLEDGES

1t is of the utmost Importance that
all pledges for the purchase of War
Savings Stamps be redeemed. 1t is
necessary that all persons who have not
redeemed their pledges do so at once so
rs to clean up this years work and put
Iowa County gloriously over the top in
her War Savings undertaking. Pa
triotism is shown by deeds not words.
Our soldier boys have won a glorious
victory. Let it not be said of any of
us that we failed to show proper appre-
citation of their great sacrifices. SEE
TO IT THAT YOUR PLEDGES FOR
WAR SAVINGS STAMPS ARE
PROMPTLY REDEEMED.

SEVEN LOAVES OF BREAD
FOR EVERY PERSON IN
U. S. SAVED FROM WASTE
Farmers and Threshermen Patrioti-
caIIy Respond to Call of Food
administration.

From information received by the
u. S. Food Administration from the
principal grain growing states, it is
now possible to announce with fair &C.
harvest by improved methods of han
ding According to official calcula-
tons, efforts toward cleaner threshing
saved fully 100000 bushels of wheat
with corresponding savings of other
small grain harvested and threshed in
a similar manner. In addition, other
states, though unable to furnish fig
ures, reported greatly reduced harvest
losses
The figure for wheat alone is equiv
alent to seven Cne-pOund lOaves Of
bread for every person in the United
States and represents food that form
erly was either an absolute loss or
was recovered to only a slight extent
by poultry and livestock. While op-
portunities in this branch Of conserva-
ton were large, the quantity of grain
recovered surpasses early eXpecta-
tons. 1t is noteworthy also that re-
suits were secured principally through
voluntary cooperation.
No conservation measure of the
Food Administration, it is declared,
has received more wholehearted sup
port than that pledged and rendered
by farmers and threshermen toward
reducing grain waste at it's source.

Besides such incidental benefits as
the improvement in figure and health
that we've reaped from our meatless,
wheatless days, think Of the fun we've
had out of them-the new crop Of

ICONS to replace the mother-in-law
joke and the boost to our reputation
for ready humor!

The benefits of our food-saving
campaign that was a vital factor in
the winning of the war were not all to
these we fed. We have at home a new
appreciation Of food that will prevent
it ever being wasted again by those
that have come to understand the re-
ligionf of saving and the place that
food occupies III our new, worldwide
human relations.

OVERLAND DEALERS ID GIVE TOURISTS
 ARMY CAMP DATA

Tens of thousands of people will be visitors at the sixteen great army training camps this summer. Parents, relatives and friends of the boys in training for overseas service win want to see them in camp and get an idea of these great. soldier cities with their khaki clad Inhabitants
 This will undoubtedly mean that many of these visitors will motor to the camps from all parts of the union, as the railroad facilities are all being used to speed up freight transporta- tion, the automobile offers an ideal means for this kind of travel and as aid to relieving congrestion.
 Appreciating this greatly increased travel, the Willys Overland company is now working out plans whereby every dealer will act as an informa tion bureau for tourists. Word has just been sent out by John N. Willys to every distributor and dealer To- cated all over the United States urg- ing all motorists to use the Overland dealer to give them the best route from city 10 city, and asks every dealer to cooperate in every way with travellers, especially those who arc going to the cantonments. By this plan it is believed that the Overland company may aid materially in help ing the tourists to keep the best roads and direct them over the shortest dis tance between intermediate points or their journey.

 The motor tourist who has been deprived of his annual pilgrimage 10 the beauty spots of the old world can now ride over a modern roadway tJ this odd corner in a See America First trip. And some of the finest Colorado scenery is accessible to the automobile tourist by way of the Spanish trails highway which leads from Pueblo to Walsenburg. Alamosa, through the San Luis valley into the San Juan district to Durango and southward into New Mexico to Santa Fe. Years ago the travellers short ened the route by cutting off from La Junta and taking a sOutheasterly course into New Mexico
 But the present Spanish Trails are far better than that part used yeal $ ago as a part of the Santa Fe trail. The scenery is no grander, perhaps, yet the tourist avoided it because the wonders along this route were little known outside of the state, and in- deed bv but few in the state. The opening and construction of the new highway has made it possible for the motoring tourist to make the trip in perfect comfort. And you need not be afraid to visit the NaVajos. They are a good natured friendly tribe of Indians, hospitable and respond read ily-to kindness But, take it from one who knows from experience, they know how to drive a bargain in sell ing a blanket and in buying an auto- mobile"

CHALMERS ADVANCES
 ID FOURTH PLACE IN

In spite of repeated denials mis- 'chievous troublemakers persist in their efforts to annoy and handicap Chalmers dealers throughout the country With rumors of drastic changes in the program of Chalmers production.
 The first thing Walter E. Flanders did in September. 1917. at the time he assumed the management of the Chalmers Motor Car company, was to mail the lie that said Chalmers production would be stopped or cur tailed. In a sweeping challenge he said further that Chalmers cars would rot only continue to be manufactured but inasfar as international condi- tions would permit, Chalmers produc- tion would increase.
 Since that time both Mr. Flanders and MT. Toner have repeated the
 statement in emphatic terms, and yet after nine months of strict adher-
 ence to the original program, Chal-
 mers dealers still complain of these groundless rumors.
 The following positive assurance is | from an open letter, dated May 13 l 191S and sent to all Chalmers dealers and distributors, by l.. A. Smith, as- 1 sistant director of Chalmers sales: Chalmers Production Increased
 We do not and never had any in-
 tention of even the slightest let-ur
 in Chalmers production unless through | government curtailment. The Max well Motor company is separate or ganiZation from the Chalmers Motol l Car company, and the financia l strength and experience of the Max | well Motor company have simply beer placed behind the Chalmers factory which will serve to insure more l Chalmers motor cars and a stronger
 Chalmers organization, and not a dis
 continuance of the line.
 For the past six months, the Chal mers Motor Car company stand!
 fourth in the United States in tho
 number of six-cylinder motor cars
 produced and sold at price of s100t
 to $2000-just as MT. Flanders ad
 vised would be done.

TWO PASSENGER
 S|DE JAR READY

A new wo-passenger sidecar has just been announced by one of the most prominent motorcycle manu- lecturers. This sidecar follows stand ard lines. but is built on a 56-inch standard tread chassis in place of the narrower tread generally used for sidecars.
 Some of the biggest motorcycle dealers in the business predict that the passenger sidecar will en- able them to double their sdecar business. This means, of course. that it will lead to many additional mo torcycle sales.
 It does not take much figuring tc see that this new motorcycle com bination which will carry. comfort ably, three passengers including the driver. is the Highest motor vehicle on the pound per passenger basis that has ever been produced. This ought to mean a good deal in these times of conservation of necessities such as gasoline.
 There ought to be some food foi thought in this new two passenger sidecar for postwar business, moi only for the motorcycle manufac. turers but for the equipment manu. lecturers and the motorcycle dealer. as well. This new sidecar ought tC materially broaden the field for tht motorcycle. It ought to be just one more step to place the motorcycle il the position it deserves to be on tho basis of it's own merit Before tho war motorcycles were far more pop ular in Europe than in America After the war let's hope the motor cycle will be as popular on this sid. of the water as lover there"

WHAT WILL WIN
 WAR? QUESTION

They say that ships will win the war-that food will win it-that steel will win it-that money will win it" says the manager of the Kissel Auto company, agents here for the Dort motor car.
 Each claim is true in a certain limited sense, but no one of the ele- ments named can alone win the war.
 Action will win the war-unhesi- tating. unhandicapped. intelligent ac- ton that not only means more ships, more food. more steel and more money, but all and everything in which wholesome human effort figures.
 There is no one factor in promot- ing action that can be compared with the automobile. Perhaps the most impressive object lesson of this may he had from watching enterprises that bear directly on the war.
 Conspicuous Example
 official Washington carrying on feverishly an unparalleled program, is the most conspicuous example. Then come the ship yards. the steel mills. the munition plants, and other war industries which use thousands of passenger automobiles, as well as trucks, and would clearly have to slaclSen production if compelled to do without them.
 Those furnish but few side lights of the part the passenger auto mobile is playing directly in the con duct of the war. Indirectly its part is an even bigger one, though per haps less spectacular.
 Must Act Promptly
 The loss of man pawer in vital pursuits neoessitates greater individ- ual accomplishment on the part ot those left behind. Their duties are multiplied not only by the demands of their regular vacations, but by the imperative call of patriotism. The efficient man of today must meet many engagements and meet them promptly.
 Just how many necessary miles passenger automobiles are covering in this country today. just how many valuable hours they are saving to men upon whose activity depends the future of democracy. would perhaps he impossible to estimate. But it needs only common observation to prove to anyone that they arc per forming service that is beyond question very great and very vital
