PROVED SPIRIT
OF DEMOCRACY
Voluntary Basis Of Food Saving
: Showed Heart of America
Beat True for Freedom.

TO the voluntary service and sacri'
Ace Of the American people must be
attributed the continued health,
strength and morale of the Allied ar
mics and the civil populace.
Upon this spirit of service and sac-
rifce will depend Europe's fate in the
months to come. In the past year we
have carried out an export program,
the magnitude Of which is almost be-
yond comprehension. But with the
new demands that have come, with
the liberation of nations freed from
German oppression, our exports must
be almost doubled. Instead Of 1890.
900 tons, we must ship twenty million
tons Of food to Europe in the coming
year-as much as can be pushed
through IL ports.
If the Allies had not been fed by
America, 1t would have been lmpos.
sible for them 10 maintain their de
Tense against Germany.
Meeting this world need on a purely
voluntary basis. the American people
have c~onclusively proved that democ-
raCy is a success ano that in time of.
need IL will rise TO its own defense.
If there were no other accomplish,
ment to It's credit the very fact that II
has shown the strength of democracy
has in itself more than justified the
existence of the Food Administration
In the eyes Of the world.
ncc thop four mantle affor tho
United States declared war the United
States Food Administrator expressed
his determination to meet Americas
food problem on a basis of voluntary
action and reiterated his confidence
that awakened democracy would prove
irresistible.
MANY thinking Americans" said
Mr.. Hoover, land the whole world
have been watching anxiously the last
four months In the fear that demo
cratic America could not organize to
meet ~autocratic Germany. Germany
has been confident that it could not be
done. Contrary proof is Immediately
at our door, and u people have al.
ready demonstrated their ability to
mobilize, organize. endure and prepare
voluntarily and efficiently In many di.
rections and upon the mere word Of
inspiration aside from the remarkable
assemblage of our Army and finances"
The history of the Food Administra.
ton has clearly shown that the trust
of those who put their faith In democ.
racy has not been misplaced.

SAVE 100000 BUSHELS
OF WHEAT THAT FORMERLY

Farmers, Urged by Food AdmInistra.
ton, Provide Seven Extra Loaves
Of Bread for Every American.

BY adopting cleaner threshing meth.
DDS and by literally combing harvest
fields to gather grain formerly vast
ed. threshermen and farmers Of the
United States this year saved fully
100000 bushels Of wheat, estimated
as equivalent to about seven one-pound
loaves of bread for every person in
the country. This result, accompanied
by corresponding savings Of barley,
oats, rye and other grains, Is shown by
reports from 33 grain states to the U.
s.. Food Administration. Other states,
although not prepared to furnish def
Mite figures Of conservation In the
grain fields, report greatly reduced
harvest losses.
This rural food saving achievement,
accomplished In scarcely six months
time, was In direct response to re-
quests by the Food Administration,
which asked farmers and t~hreskermen
to reduce harvest losses from about
3A per cent.-the estimated average
In normal tlmes-to the lowest posi-
BILE minimum. Country grain thresh-
ing committees carried into every
grain growing community the official
recommendations for accomplishing
the results desired.
In numerous instances drivers Of
racks with leaky bottoms were sent
from the fields to repair their equip.
ment and frequently bad order thresh.
ing machines were stopped until the
cause Of waste was removed. But in
proportion to the number Of persons
engaged In gathering the nations grain
crop. cases Of compulsion were COM
paratively rare. The Food Admins
tration freely attributes the success OF
the grain threshing campaign to pa
triotic service by farmers, thresher-
men and their crews. Incidentally
grain growers Of the United States are
many millions Of dollars Gin pocket
as a result Of the grain saved.

FRANCE AND BELGIUM GET
AMERICAN SUGAR.

Ninety-6ve per cent Of all refined
sugar sent from the United States TO
the allied nations went to France and
Belgium during the first Ave months
Of this year.
France got 70 per cent, or nearly
100000 pounds and Belgium receiv.
ing nearly II. 0 900 pounds, or %
per cent.
In each country this sugar was
doled out by a strict rationing organ,

these Ave months--23.79 tons, al
most half of which was shipped In
Mays only about one-half OF one

Heretofore, farmers have

"Our sugar supply Is very
much under our sugar require

Government officials and army otfi-
GERS would throw up their hands in
dismay if called upon to answer the
query: "How much time would have

itself with the requirements OF modern
warfare.
The preliminary to the great war,
which gave the automobile it's first real

plenty of time to dry thoroughly, the

though aluminium is more expensive
than ordinary metal, it is selected on
account of it's ligh,ness in weight and

1t is not the enormous production Of
gasolene necessary for the army that
has called forth request that car
owners conserve as there is plenty of
crude oil from which gasolene is made.
We should conserve because we must
protect our future supply, as it is not
sane for us to eat heavily into our re-

there are little things every motorist
can do which viii save fuel, rubber,
etc. and if the total could be taken, if
some Of these simple rules are fol-
lowed, the average individual would be
staggered by the size:
The unnecessary running of motors
while the car is not in actual motion
should be stopped.
All connections should be examined
periodically for leaks. Don't let your
carburetor dash adjustments remain
closed any longer than is necessary to
warm the motor. A rich mixture is ex-
pensive.
Use coal oil or kerosene for clean

Don't use your car for short trips to

IN, and to-day every army camp IN the
country is dotted with the mono

Many OF the cars are shipped direct
from the factory to General Pershing
in France. A train of thirty trucks,
which recently made test run from
Detroit to the Atlantic coast, WAS load
ed with parts for Dodge Brother
Motor Cars. All were for immediate
shipment to Frarcc.
Dodge Brothers service division has
rot only adopted the army's elaborate
and systematic method Of parts group
ing and shipping, but has introduced
new features which add greatly to its
merit, by means Of which immediate
repairs or requirements are made IN
the theatre Of war. The same system
has now been introduced for ali motor
cars. trucks and motorcycles in the
army, and is pronounced by military
men as one Of the most useful OF al
the new deficiency devices introduced to
facilitate an early triumph overseas.
