HOOVER PREDICTS
BIC FOOD CRISIS
URGES CONGRESS- TO PASS DRAS-
TIC LEGISLATION MAKING
MEATLESS AND WHEATLESS
DAYS COMPULSORY,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-Food Ad-
ministrator Hoover urged immediate
action on the bill to conserve food
stuffs and establish "wheatless" and
''meatless" days at an executive SEES
sion of the house committee on agri-
culture.
He informed the committee that
drastic action is required because OF
shortages in the nations food supplies
available for the six months from
Jan. 1. to July 1, 1918. He produced
figures showing marked decreases in
cereals, fats and meats, and showed
that congestion of freight cars has
been largely responsible for much OF
the Western corn crop rotting in the
fields.
Instead of bumper corn crop, as
generally supposed, the available sup
ply is greatly cut down. instead OF
producing 3,5OO0OO,OOO bushels only
about 2,OO0,000,O0O bushels were pro-
duced. Mr.. Hoover estimated there
remains enough dry corn to supply
the Allies and American people, ap'
proximately 137OOO,OO0.OOO for this
country and 9O,O0O,O0O abroad. This
provides nothing for animals.
8here are only 1O0,OO0,000 pounds OF
beef when there should be 450000,000
pounds, Mr. Hoover declared, and it
was shown the nation is short from
six hundred million to one billion
pounds Of such fats as pork products
and vegetable oils, about so per cent
is required.
The available supply of wheat for
consumption before the new harvest
is only 70 per cent of what is re
quired. The minimum supply on hand
is estimated at 257O0O.000 bushels
and the maximum 281OO0,00O
These figures show it is necessary
to take drastic steps, Mr.. Hoover said.
and he urged the imperativeness of
most careful conservation by every
body. He did not 60 into the details

PARIS LIVING MUCH
BETTER THAN LONDON

PARIS, Feb. 15.-Nothing surprises
those arriving at Paris from London
more than 10 find how little the war
seems to intarlere with the material
comforts Of life in the French capital.
They IAN easily recall each occasion
on which they had been able to obtain
a small amount of butter or margar-
inc in London restaurants in a week
and can name the days when meat
was procurable in strictly limited
quantities.
The contrast in Paris is striking.
They see butcher shops filled with
meat-a sight London has forgotten
They see no long lines at the doors
OF groceries. If early risers, they may
observe a dozen persons before the
milk depots, or far greater numbers
before tobacco shops. On the days
the delivery of new supplies is made
they can order a whole chicken in the
restaurants or STEAK or portions
they have forgotten existed
Though prices have increased i'm
mensely there is no sign of deficiency.
Victor Boret, minister of provisions,
announces, further restrictions which
will b Submitted to the cabinet on
Tuesday, and which will bring Paris
more in line with London-as they
will prevent, as the minister expresses
it, grand" restaurants and shops
from selling luxuries.

The Times Recorder:
Dear Sir-The Americas and Sum-
ter County Chamber of Commerce has
no doubt accomplished very satisfac-
tory and profitable results since its
organization, and every loyal citizen
of our fair city has just cause to feel
proud of its achievements However,
il has occurred the writer that in its
zeal to do large things, it is possible
that minor policies may have been ov-
erlooked. Why not make provision
for, and encourage, the membership
of the large number of commercial
travellers who make their home in
Americas?
Some years ago I made my home in
another city, and scarcely had I gotten
located before the privilege of mem
bership in the Chamber of Commerce
was extended and urged; and, by the
way, this was about the Invest and
most progressive organization of it's
kind in the South; every possible eff
fort is made to land ne windustries,
conventions, public improvements,
ETC., but these matters are not allow
ed to overshadow such minor things
as cultivating the spirit of local CO
operation, friendly business inter
course, boosting" the home town,
etc, and especial efforts are made to
enlist the travelling men.
The average travelling man is eth
er a booster" Or a "knocker de

he takes no middle ground-and in

which justify belief that he lives in

rest assured that thos ewith whom he

My observation HAS been that those
travelling men who make American

Of chem are merel y"salaried" men is
no valid reason why they should not

business intercourse enjoyed by their
more fortunate neighbors. I don't
know what, if any, provisions are
made by the rules and regulations of
the Chamber Of Commerce for admis-
sion to membership of commercial
travellers; it may not be customary to
extend this privilege without volunta-
ny application, or perhaps travelling
men ere not eligible; but I am sure
that, generally speaking, they are wor-

ellis Of any organization having for
its object the best interests of the
