Food Administrator Writes PreSI.
dent America Conserved 14l,-
100000 Bushels Wheat.
CREDIT DUE TO W0MEE.
Meat and Fat Shipments Increased by
s44, eoo, 900 Pounds.

Conservation measures applied by
the American people enabled the Unit
ed States to ship to the Allied peoples
and to our own forces overseas ILL.,
600, 900 bushels Of wheat and S44, 6OO.-
600 pounds of meat during the past
year, valued in all at S1,4O0. COO.
This was accomplished In the face of
serious food shortage in this country,
bespeaking the wholeheartedness and
patriotism with which the American
people have met the food crisis abroad.
Food Administrator Hoover, in let
ter to President Wilson, explains how
the situation was met. The voluntary
conservation program fostered by the
Food Administration enabled the piling
up of the millions of bushels OF wheat
during 1917-1S and the shipment OF
meat during 1917-1S.
The total value of oil food ship
ments TO Allied destinations amounted
to 81, 400.00O,000, all this food being
bought through or In collaboration
with the Food Administration. These
figures are all based on official reports
and represent food exports for the
harvest year that closed June 30, 1918.
The shipments of meats and fats
tincluding meat products, dairy prod
ucts. vegetable oils, etc., to Allied des,
tinations were as follows:

A GREAT DAY.

Since we got into this war our president hasn
been able to get far from bis White House desk
He hasn't allowed anything to interfere with his
stuck right to a task so big that few of US can
realize it's dimensions. But now it is reported
from Washington that the president may leave
Washington long enough to attend the national
convention of War Mothers of America, at
Evansville Ind, next month. He has been
asked by the War Mothers to talk to them about
their sons and the war their sons going to
win.
It is to be hoped that the president can tear
himself away from his duties in Washington this
long. Better than any other mortal being can
the president of the United States sympathize
with the mothers of QUIZ soldiers and sailors and
strengthen them in THIS hour of their greatest
sacrifice. He, the commander-in-chief of their
sons cover there" and those in training over
here, can inspire the mothers with the brand of
super-patriotism which drives their boys to vic
tory against the forces of the foe.
A most wonderful day it will be for the middle
west when the war president comes to meet with
the War 4dothers such day as few are given
to see Thereafter the whole west will hum with
buster war work than ever and the last atom of
Germanism in the middle west will be drowned
forever in the ocean of cheers which will greet
Woodrow Wilson, commander-in-chief over here
and over there.
Besides which, we believe Woodrow Wilson
himself will be made stronger in mind, body and
soul by meeting face to face with these women
who have given their sons into his keeping. No
one can come any War Mother without be-
ing inspired, without being more loyal Amer
lean and a ambitious worker.
We hope the president meet with the War
Mothers of America. 1t will benefit Them him
and the nation.
