NEED OF WHEAT

LETTER CONTAINS cABLEGRAM
URGING THAT AMERICA SAVE
FOOD FOR ALLIES

w. T. Harper, Wapello county food
administrator has received letter
from Theodore F. Whitmarsh, presi-
dent Of the national wholesale grocers'
association. which Is being sent out to
wholesale grocers all over the country.
The letter emphasizes the need for
conservation Of certain articles Of food,
and asks the grocers to do all in their
power to help. The following cablegram
sent by Lord Rhondda, food controller
Of Great Britain. to Herbert Hoover, u
s. food administrator, shows the SER
iousness Of the situation:
Unless you are able to send the al
lies at least 100000 bushels Of wheat
over and above what you have exported
up to January l, and in addition to the
total exportable surplus from Canada,
] cannot take the responsibility Of as
surfing our people that there will be
food enough to win the war.
Imperative necessity compels me to
cable you in this blunt way. No one
knows better than I that the American
people, regardless Of national and In
dividual sacrifice. have so far refused
nothing that is needed for the war, but
1t now lies with America to decide
whether or not the Allies in Europe
shall have enough bread to hold out

its force into the field ! have not
minced words because / am convinced
that the American people, il they
know the truth, will not hesitate to

POOL OF BLOOD
MURDER CLUE
CAR USED ~ NAVAL BAND
SHOWS MARKS OF VIOLENT
CRIME.

Clinton, April 13.-Finding Of a
great pool Of blood in an empty pas
senger coach in the Northwestern
railroad yards here, when employees
went to clean the car after it had
been used by the Great Lakes Naval
Training Station band on a recent
tour is mystifying local and North
western road police officials today.
They are convinced that the pool Of
blood is evidence that murder has
been committed but no clue as to the
identity of the victim or the murder
ers, nor as to the location of the body
can be found.
Blood was smeared on the seats of
the car and also was found on the
steps of the coach, while there were
indications that a body had been
dragged along the right of way.
1t is believed the murderers placed
the body in an empty freight car, an
other pool of blood beside the track
being pointed to as the probable spot
where the body was dropped before
being hoisted into freight car.
