States Food Administration a
large part of the country would
now be suffering from hunger. In
order to save larger part Of
the world from hunger, the Uni.
ted States Food Administration
will devote every energy to the
fuller saving Of food from now
until June.
John NJ. Parker, Food Admin
istrator for Louisiana, returned to
his office Monday after week at
Washington. where he attended a
war council of the State Food Adj
minlstrators with their chef. Her
bert Hoover. and his staff. The
above was the concrete conclusion
he drew from the session s reports
and resolves.
Five national experts who had
Just completed personal surveys
at and behind the battle lines in
Europe made their first statements
to the meeting. The story of the
suffering they saw. their analysis
of the situation s needs. coupled
with the knowledge of the food
ships sunk and the loss of food
stuffs in other ways. aroused the
Administrators to the imperative
necessity Of speeding up their
work and Of stirring the people
to complete cooperation. Mr..
Parker, like the other Admins
traitors, came back home impressed
with the duty of forcing results.
Wheat, meat. sugar and fats
must be saved in larger quantities
SO that the armies can be sus-
and the peoples be-
hind the armies protected against
famine. 1T is OF question of try
ing. said Mr.. Parker, but Of doing
it. Meatless and wheatless days
must be observed. Tuesday and
Friday are meatless days in Lou
isiana. The Food Administration
has added Saturday as porkless
day. and it also asks thatthere
be one meatless meal on each Of
the other days Of the week. We'd
nesday is wheatless day. 1t is
urged that there be also a wheat
less meal on each of the other
lays. The wheat crisis is so acute
hat all bread for all the meals
will soon have to be made Of

wheat. The nations surplus has

declared unfair. Mr.. Parker was
told at Washington that Presiden'
Woodrow Wilson would back any
action taken by the Food Admin
istration, issuing executive orders
to close establishments under the
food ban and keeping them closed
until the end Of the war. Nj
Parker was in hopes that there
would not be any such places in
Louisiana.
The Food Administration is still
depending largely upon education
and voluntary cooperation, and
is constantly receiving gratifying
evidence confirming its faith. The
campaign Of education will be ex-
banded and energized. Mr.. Hoo
yer has promised to send several
of the distinguished men who
toured the battle zone. Other ma
tional speakers will also be de-.
tailed. A speakers bureau will
be organized here. and many
prominent lawyers, teachers and
other citizens have already volun-
teered. A special director Of fool
conservation will probably be Sc
lected. The pledge card organi-
cation will serve as a basis for
the building up of system which
will have administrative authority

There will be no lack of speeding
- because Mr.. Parker feels sure
hat the state desires to stand as
high in patriotic cooperation as it
lid and does in the pledge card
lrive and in other war phases.
The main thing is that there is
great war going on. that liberty
s at stake. that the war must be
Won, that food will win the war,
hat food must be saved. and that
will be saved. Excuses are not

Voluntary women workers at the

Former Grady Teacher
Tells of Conditions at
Army Construction Base

A letter has just been received
from John A. Tillman, former school
teacher Of Grady county and one time
candidate for the state legislature,
in which he gives an insight as to
working conditions and the scope OF
the program at one of the army
bases at which he is now employed.
The letter Follows
"The army base at which I am
working is located about siA miles
north of Norfolk. One mile to the
north Of us is the naval base. These
are in a historic country just a
short way out in the bay the Moni-
tor and Merrmac fought the first
ironclad battle of history. Here it
was that our ships gathered togeth-
er in preparation for the destruction
of the Spanish sea power in 1898.
Now, not only preparations are be-
ing made to give the knockout blow
to Germany in military sense, but
plans are being layed to secure our
commercial supremacy after the war
"The eight giant warehouses meas
ure 1G5 by 1880 feet each with its
own pier, are but one of the evil
dences of these far reaching plans.
1t is even predicted that in the near
future this vicinity will rival New
York in commercial Importance,
while, from military view, it will
be second to none in the world
"Many Texas and Oklahoma boys
iand men are working in the various
military and naval bases. The pay
is good and accommodation and
food especially at this place are all
that reasonable men could expect orl
wish for. Most Of our men and boys
are doing well, it must be said that
some are playing an unworthy part

atrocity.
