No Food Cards Are
To Be Issued Yet,
Said Speaker AT
Tampa Last Night

Messrs. j. Walker Pope, R. W.
Coggsdill, of Winter Haven, T. T
Hatton and ]. G.. Gallemore, of Bar
tow, and A, J. Holworthy, of this
city, Polk County Food Administered
ors, formed a party going down to
Tampa last night to attend the Food
Administration meeting presided over
/ by State Food Administrator Braxton
ReaCham. 1t was decided at this meet
! ing that sugar ration cards would not
be issued until it was shown that such
measure was absolutely necessary
to the winning of the war.
The address of the evening was de-
livered by Franklin W, Fort, volun~
teer assistant of the Food Administra-
ton at Washington, who, in the course
OF very splendid address, said.
"The food administration does not
ask any American to starve. The food
administration does not ask any
American to eat less than will main"
tain his or her efficiency. Not an
ounce less. We do say that you have
corn. You have oats. You have bar
| ley. We do say to you what when II
| is necessary. you can get along with
out pork, as the Jewish race has got
ten along without it for 1000 years.
That you can go without meat one
day week without really starving.
! The stuff we throw away every year
there isn't nation in Europe that
wouldn't pay with all the money that
they have to get it, if we would ONLY
ship it to them We grow fresh vege-
tables enough to feed ourselves from
June to September without anything
else-perishable food. We have more
fish than any other nation in the
world. We have plenty of milk We
could get along without any of our
wheat, but we don't have to. What is
asked Of us is pitiful, compared to the
sacrifice that we owe the Allies.
"Now then, friends, this govern
ment, alone of all the governments in
the war, is not telling you that you
can eat only so much wheat this week.
only so much meat this week, only SO
much butter this week only so much
fish this week, and only so much OF
every other food product on the list.
We are the only nation that is in the
war that is not telling its citizens just
that. We are the only nation in the
war that is not giving its citizens 3
card that tells how many ounces they
may have of each food, each week.
And after they have used the number
of ounces on the card, all the money
in Europe could not buy another
ounce-unless they could buy whole
card from some man who Is willing
to starve for the money We don't do
that, because we are free and because
Mr.. Hoover and the others having
control of the situation believe in the
American people,
"These are the reasons why we
are not on a card-why we are sim
ply on the basis of voluntary request.
You are not on card; you can 90
out tonight, if you want, and eat sew
en- loaves of bread, and there is no
body to stop you, cause we believe
that the American people, of their
own free will, will do more than any
ether people in the world will do at
the dictate Of an autocrat, But we
have got to prove it"
