STOP THE GRUMBLING

Some dissatisfaction has been
caused by the late orders concerning
the consumption of sugar" says the
Omaha World-Herald, but the discon-
tented must remember that the Food
Administration is not to blame They
should direct their criticism at the
German junkers and not at the ad-
ministration. The shortage of sugar
has been caused largely by the u
boats. There is plenty of sugar in the
world, but the lack of shipping and
the sinking of sugar cargoes have
caused all the trouble"
The writer then goes on to say that
the sacrifice the people are called on
to make is comparatively small and
that in a few months the likelihood is
that the need for it will pass.
Meanwhile he continues, "let the
grumblers think of the boys who are
giving all for their country, who are
enduring cheerfully the sum of all
hardships and danger, and then look
at himself in the mirror when he COM
