The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1918-12-27
FEW COUNTIES WERE ABLE TO
CARRY OUT COMPLETE
PROGRAM.
LEADERS WILL TRY AGAIN
Food Organization Is Preserved Intact
and Will Carry Forward Work
Of Saving the World Now That
the War Has Seen Won.

ton volunteer organization will he
preserved intact and the work will be
taken up whenever the general health
situation permits. Not more than y
counties were able to carry out the
whole weeks program as contem-
plated.
In those counties where World Re-
lief Week was observed, such as
Jefferson, Washington, BraclSen and
Boyd, there were held church services
on Sunday, December /, club rallies
on Wednesday, school exercises on
Friday, community gatherings through
out the week and big countrywide
rallies at least once in each county.
The message of the Food Administrd-
ton that the "war conscience" must
now give place to the ''world CON
science was impressed with great
effectiveness, and it is quite well I'M
derstOod and appreciated in all such
counties that the people of Kentucky,
now that the war is over, will save
more food than they did while it was
still going on. But this message must
yet be carried TO the people of at least
100 counties in Kentucky who were
prevented by the epidemic of influenza
from receiving it.
Mrs. Morris clifford, chairman of the
State Conservation Division, Miss
-Alexina Booth, chairman of Schools
and Colleges, and Mr.. Fred w. Hard
wick, chairman of Religious and
Fraternal Organizations, have receiv-
ed from the highest authorities the
fullest praise for the success with
which they carried on World Relief
Week under difficult circumstances
When the work is resumed they will
be found at the head of things. They
send their sympathy TO those County
Conservation chairmen and County
Administrators whose preparatory
work went for naught and promise
them every means Of cooperation
when the time for resumption of eff
forts becomes Opportune
1t may be early in January. It may
be late in spring, when the influenza
epidemic is finally conquered: hut
whenever the time, the volunteer
forces of the Food Administration,
who led the people of Kentucky in saw
ing the food which won the war. will
he ready to lead them again in saving
the food which will save the world,
and thus make victory complete.
With the return Of all-wheat bread
IN A
taxation of substitute regulations,
farmers of the country may expect
somewhat increased supply of mill
feeds. The amount will be further
enlarged by the recently Increased
purchases of flour by the Food Admin
iEtration Grain Corporation for export.
Export Of flour rather than wheat
is now possible because of increased
ocean tonnage available since the sign
ing of the armiStice.
A third factor which is expected to
increase supplies of mill feeds is the
cancellation of the so-called "milling
extraction rule" which, as a war time
measure, diverted into -four consider |
able proportion of the wheat berry !
ordinarily used for feed.
All Of these developments combined /,
are expected to increase the mill feed |
output fully one-fifth. and this extra |
feed should be available about the end |
of pccHmhcr. In presenting these .
facts the Food Administration warns |
against excessive optimism over the |
situation, since there will be n con- !
unued shortage of mill feed compared |
with pre-war years. The price of these |
leeds Is being maintained by regun- |
ton at I'm artiiiciaiiy iOw level which /
obviously stimulates an abnormal de-
mand. Briefly, more min feeds are in
prospect and they viii be available
about the Christmas holidays, but the
supply viii be short of demand and |
continued conservation is necessary.
TO the children of Kenucky-and
10 the grown-upS, too-the Food Adj
sends the glad news that
they need not StinU themselves on
Christmas candy. Santa Claus, who
was one of the most faithful soldiers
IN MIR. lioOycr's food army, after being
decorated for various sacrificiaI scrv-
ices, has received an honorable dis
charge, and this year will devote his
entire time TO making the world a
happy place for little children to live
in And if he decides the world must
he made sweeter in order To be hap
pier that is his business and nobody
else's.
