The Government OF the United
States has seen az % establish
Herbert &. Hoover - tho admin

of his Organization be has seen
ft to procure . Federal Food Ad.
ministYatos for each State In the

The prime purposes OF this or.
ganization in the increased pro-
Iduction and the. conservation Of
available food stuffs. The plane
as set out by the Administration

of work in Dubois County.
It is not the purpose to work o
hardship upon any producer.

taller OF food stuffs nor Is the
ultimate consumer to be made to
bear the blunt Of excess prices.
We are given distinctly TO under.
stand that we are not to make
excess profits on the dealing OF

wage, because the main factor
that underlies the entire organi-

of foods available for our associ.

simply up to each of Us to take
up our share of the burden, ire.
Ispective of what our personal feel
ings may be. Many OF the people
think it is a plan to cut down
their own living expenses. but it
is not. 1t is simply a plan to
raise the quantity Of supply Of
foods which do not normally ex-
list. These foods are, Wheat,
Meat, Sugar and Animal Fats
and there is a material shortage
of these four foods in the world
and the only way that we can
expect to furnish food for our
associates across the water, is
for us to substitute something in
their place The Food Admins
tration is not so anxious that we
be economical, as it is that we
eat certain foods instead OF the
floods that a-e scarce. Every
.lhome in Dubois County should be
