and we may eat these articles of foods
without impairing our health or caus-
ing suffering. The food situation at
present in Europe is so grave as to
call for very serious, consideration on
the part of every citizen of the United
States. The greatest need Is for
wheat flour, and as we have the sub
stitutes above mentioned, it may be
necessary for us to show our loyalty
to the cause of humanity by willingly
refraining from eating wheat products
and satisfy our appetite with other
foods.
From different parts of Mississippi
expressions of willingness of the peo-
pie to voluntarily and cheerfully agree
for themselves to forego entirely tho
ase of wheat products If II becomes
necessary to do so, in order to supply
the pressing need of our army and
allies are frequently heard.
A patriotic Southerner in Washing
ton was asked if the people of his
state would eat corn bread for Q
week. 1.-THE people of my state" he
replied, would eat corn bread and go
without wheat entirely IL the Food Ad-
ministration in Washington ask it of
us, and they will do it gladly to win
the war" That is the spirit which we
desire every Mississippian to manifest,
and to refrain as much as possible
from eating wheat until our next har-
vest comes in.
One of the cheapest food products
now is Irish potatoes. They are sell
ing at the principal distributing points
IN Mississippi at very reasonable
prices, Retailers are requested to call
attention of their customers to this
low price and urge that they be used
rs much as possible instead of bread
II you are farmer furnish your la
borers in part with weekly rations in
potatoes. BY so doing you will help
% conserve wheat flour and reduce the
nigh cost Of food products.

simply dampen sponge or soft brush with

modities. The economic forces arising
out Of the war which have necessitated
this action are in the main as follows:
81. All of the overseas shipping in
the world has been placed in govern
ment control and the volume OF this
shipping is much reduced. As a conse-
quence there is no longer any free play
in commercial overseas traffic, Ks the
governments involved must designate
what tonnage is to be assigned TO each
commodity and each class of traffic.
49, In asmuch as normal commercial
overseas traffic has broken down, it
was necessary for the allied govern
ments in Europe to set up single
agencies for the purchase of the whole
OF their food supplies from abroad. Ot
American wheat their purchases are oil
sufficient volume TO control the price,
and this is the only agricultural com
modify where this maintains.
"3. In the face of n necessary duty
to reduce our consumption OF food-so
badly needed by the Allies-it has been
absolutely necessary to arrive at a
division of these two commodities IN
the common interest of the war. and to
control the reduced supplies internally,
in order that all may be treated alike,
rich and poor, and this implies control
of distribution and price.
AS stated, practically the only com
modties rs 10 which these new economic
forces dangerously involve the United
States are wheat and sugar. All con-
troll measures are the lesser OF evils. In
wheat we were faced with n single
agency whose proportionatc purchases
To the whole were such as TO dominate
the price Any relationship with thus
agency by our officials in limiting their
operations thus becomes absolutely price
fixing, and il becomes at once qucs-
ton rs to whether it should be done
openly and frankly with out producing
community, OF done secretly, at the will
of government officials.
Furthermore, in the ordinary course
of our wheat marketing the wheat goes
to the markets during the first iour
months O. the harvest year, and during
this period were DO control established
with the Allies and neutrals, IT would be
entirely possible for them to export from
the United States such portion of our
wheat supplies rs TO leave our population
short OF bread II has therefore been
pecessary. IN the interest Of the Ameri-
can consumer that the government
should intervene 10 protect his supplies.

HOOVER REASSURES
PRODUCERS OF FOOD
Only Wheat and Sugar Prices are
Under Boards Control,
He Says.
WAsuINGToN. Fen. 26.

Herbert c. Hoover. food administrator,
Yesterday made public a statement IN
which he explained IN detail the powers Of
the food administration IN connection with
price-hxing, about which, he said, there
had been many conflicting views, which
tended TO disturb the industry.
The food administration. Mr.. Hoover
asserted, had control of prices only in
regard to wheat and sugar. 1t has been
active also IN its efforts to eliminate
prohtccring and speculation in the dis
trihuting trades. and in attempting to
bring about n proper distribution OF
various foodstuifs.
Mr.. Hoovers statement is intended 10
end agitation and unrest which he be-
licvcs have served To complicate the food
situation. and to rcassurc farmers who
have been apprehensivc that the gov
crnment might set maximum prices on
what they have to sell. The text fol-
lows:
