KEPT PLEDGE
TO SEND BREAD
American Nation Maintained Al
lied Loaf Through Self
Denial at Home Table.
AvERTED EUROPEAN DESPAIR.
With Military Demands Upon Ocean
Shipping Relieved, World Is Able
to Return to Normal White
Wheat Bread.

Since the advent of the latest wheat
crop the only limitation upon Ameri-
can exports to Europe has been the
shortage of shipping. Between July
and October 10 We shipped s., $50, 305.
bushels. If this rate should continue
until the end of tn fiscal year we will
have furnished the Allies with more
than 237, 100000 Bushels of wheat and
-four in terms of wheat.
Tie result of Increased production
and conservation efforts in the United
States has been that with the cessa-
ton of hostilities we are able to re-
tsrn to normal wheat diet. Supplies
that have accumulated in Australia
Argentine an1 other hitherto inacces
sibe markets may be tapped by ships
released from transport service and
European demand for American wheat
probably will not exceed our normal
surplus. There is wheat enough avail.
able TO have a white loaf at the com
mon table.
But last year the tale was different
Only by the greatest possible saving
and sacrifice were we able to keep a
steady stream of wheat and flour mov-
ing across the sea. We found our
selves at the beginning of the harvest
year with an unusually short crop.
Even the most optimistic statisticians
figured that we had bare surplus of
20,000,000 bushels. And yet Europe
was facing the probability of a bread
fami1e-and in Europe bread is by far
the most important article in the diet.
All of this surplus had left the
country early in the fall. BY the first
of the year we had managed to ship
little more than 100000 bushels by
practiciag the utmost economy at
home-by wheatless days, wheatless
meals, heavy substitution of other
cereals and by sacrifice at almost
every meal throughout the country.
In January the late Lord Rhondda,
then British Food Controller, cables1
that only If We sa.T an additional 75,-
100000 bushels before July 1 could he
take the responsibility of assuring his
people that they would be fed.
Ehe response of the American peo-
pie was S5,0O0O00 bushels safely deliv-
cred overseas between January l and
July 1. Out of a harvest which gave
US only 100000 bushels surplus we
actually shipped 141, 100000 bushels.
Thus did America fulfill her pledge
that the Allied bread rations could be
maintained, and already the American
people are demonstrating that, with
an awakened war conscience, last
years figures will be bettered.

Having the right to and needing
twelve-star service pin, the Rev. r. H.
Windsor OF Rayville, La, a Jealous
Red Cross worker, has been presented
with q unique decoration by the Amer
lean Red Cross The father of nine
teen sons, twelve of whom are with
the colors, this genial colored minister
of the Baptist church probably holds
the record for sons in the military
service of the United States. If there
are any others with sin,;lar or better
status, they are yet to he heard from.
In the accompanying illustration of
the twelve-star pin, topped with the
Red Cross insignia, it will be noted
that the first bar bears five stars
These represent five individual sons
Bennie, Robin, Jeff, Johnnie and
Archie, The next bar hears two stars
representing twins, George and I.afa-
yette; the next bar is similarly
decorated. representing William and
James, also twins; and the bottom
bar, with its three stars, represents
the trip1ets, Matthew Mark and Luke.
Eight of the hos are volunteers, and
the other four were called in the draft.
Upon hearing of the remarkable
record of the Windsor family, Presi,
dent Wilson, who is also president of
the American Red Cross, wrote to the
Rev. Mr.. Windsor as follows:
Il am writing to say with what In
terest and admiration I have learned
of the fact that twelve of your sons
are In the service of our country, anu
the thirteenth impatiently waiting to
follow them In. This is a splendid
record. and congratulate you from
the bottom of my heart The colored
troops have proved themselves fine
soldiers"

Owing to the shortage in shipping
it may take over a year or more to
bring our boys home fromFrance.
But whatever the time, our protect
