HOME FOLKS URGED
TO KEEP FAITH
With "YANKS" BY
CONTINUED SAYING
"a Sword, = Spade and Thought
Should Never Be Allowed
to Rust"

This was part OF the wise philosophy
OF the women in Irish folk lore. and
it is now rich in wartime symbolism.
That the Allied sword is not being
permitted to rust is evidenced In the
recent victories on the western front.
Firearms are bright and shining. and
the enemy is on the run. There must
be no relaxing OF the military pro-
gram. American soldiers must be
kept going In a steady stream that
the Allied forces may push on to
quicker victory.
These men must be fed. The civil
ian's spade must not rust. the great
er our accomplishment In putting
American soldiers in the European
battlefield the greater is the civilian
responsibility to keep their bodies III
and their spirits buoyed.
American agriculture has had ban.
ner year. The patriotic response OF
the farmers coupled with favorable
weather conditions has Increased enor-
mously the cereal production 80 that
all fear OF famine has been removed.
Equally patriotic has been the re-
sponse in the planting OF war gar
dcns. Recent reports on the planting
for 1918 show 5,2S5. 900 food plots or
an increase over last year OF 81 per
cent. The estimated value OF these
food products Is $525 100000. or so per
cent increase over last year.
This is no time, however, to relax
either in production or saving. THIS
years bountiful harvest may be fol'
lowed by correspondingly poor ono
next year More men will gradually
leave the fields for the army. and the
reaction will be felt at next years
harvest. Now is the time to prepare
for this by keeping up the conserva'
ton program and building up a sur
plus for possible leaner days ahead. j..
Equal In Importance to the sword
and spade is to keep the thought OF
the American people free from rust.
The collective thought OF the nation
must be pitched on a high place and
concentrated on the one goal-a con.
elusive peace.
A year ago last April America sent
word that she was coming. And she
has made good. Her men are there In
rapidly increasing numbers and the
allied fighters now know that her
sword will not be allowed to rust.
The morale OF both soldiers and
civilians is based largely on being
well fed. That America is ready and
willing to share her food was shown
in the wheat saving last year. She
not only decreased her own consump-
tion to meet the European demands.
hut she increased her production OF
all cereals.
Americas sword and spade have In.
iected new hope, and the thoughts OF
the American people must not now be
allowed to rust Europe has faith IN
us. and we must maintain this faith.

.SAVING STILL NEEDED IF

IS TO Be 4 SUCCESS

During the coming year, America
must ship to Europe 100000 tons OF
food stuffs."
with this announcement, Herbert
Hoover. federal food administrator.
places on the American people re-
sponsibility greater than any before.
The $3.50 substitute rulings have
been relaxed. the erstwhile ban upon
beef products has been lessened-and
yet Americans must send 100000
tons of food next year to her allies.
This gigantic program means that
every man. woman and child who 10

make his eating. and his buying a.
sane and saving as possible. and keep
the consumption OF vital food stuffs In
America down to the lowest point.
The relaxation OF the stricter rules 10
not meant TO lower the bars 80 that

sumers from rules which worked .
certain amount OF hardship, but
which were absolutely necessary dur
ing the wheat crisis OF a few months
ago.
The food administration still re-
serves the right to commander any or
all flour consumers may have on hand
should the need arise-as II did in
the spring OF 1917. II is hoped that
consumers will realize that out Of the
great harvest this year. a reserve sup
ply Of food must be built II future

be discounted and made harmless.
