EVERY WOMAN
EVERY WHERE.
The Farmer Who Is A Profteer
In The Bloody War Of
Fighting Sons.

This is the story of a woman who
converted a food Stacker into an ard
emit missionary of food production and
conservation; il IS the story of wo-
man who would not allow a neighbor,
by Indiferece or laziness or greed,
10 hamper the food program OF the
Nation and thus further imperil the
life of her son who is lighting in
France. 1t is an example that can be
followed by everyone everywhere"
The experience was told 10 Assist
auy Secretary of Agriculture Clarence
Ousley not long ago. when he was
touring the South 10 present The Gov
ernments urgent message 10 the cot
ton country-a request of vital inn
portance. that the South feed itself
this year. and not be lured by high
priced cotton into such increases Of
cotton acreages as will mean dimuni-
tion Of food-crop acreage Mr.. Ousley
explained that the Government is not
asking the South TO reduce its cot
ton acreage; is not attempting to sug-
gest the amount of acreage to be
planted is only urging, with the
earnestness inspired by a conviction
that this means much in winning the
war. that the South insure its own
food and feed supply first, and then
plant such acreage as it chooses.
without food from us, he said. our
allies must fail If they fail all the
vast burden of the war falls upon us
and what that might mean no man
dares to predict
And So" added Mr. Ousley, the
farmer who knows that, knows his
failure to produce food ieopardiZes
our cause, and yet for greed and sell
fshness and in order to fatten his
own pocketbook, plants all cotton and
expects the rest of the nation to send
him food-that man is a profiteer in
the blood of your suns!"
After that speech a woman sought
Mr. Ousley. In her voice there was
a quiet determination; in her face a
supreme, sublime courage, a subtle
something of the soul-the same
spirit shown so gloriously by the wo-
men of France-by the women of all
the un-Prussianized and never-to-be-
Prussianized world. If the Hun had
the imagination as we'll as the cruelty
of the savage, if he could life his sor-
did eyes beyond a rigid mental hori-
ION of rules and formulate, he would
see here something he could not I'M
derstand and therefore something he
would fear He would see the adj
amantine answer to his hope of world
subjugation-that look in the eyes of
the women of this land. For men Of
such mothers will never be defeated;
they cannot be but victorious.
