THE WAR, THE FARM
AND THE FARMER
By Herbert Quick
Member Federal Farm Loan Board

The farms Of this country could
carry the war to q victorious con.
clusion even II all the rest of the ma.
tons should quit. The rest will not
quit; but we could win 1t without
them 1t we had to do It. The farmers
of the United States can whip Ger.
many. We can whip them with guns.
We can whip them with our products.
We can whip them with our money.
Every farmer in the United States
must remember that the war has a
first mortgage on every cent he has.
The last spare cent In the pockets of
every farmer In America should be
devoted to the war
The Kaiser began foreclosing his
mortgage on our farms when he de-
clared ruthless submarine warfare
The war Is our answer to his bill of
foreclosure.
Our contribution 10, FIRST, our sons
and brothers for the trenches; sec.
ond, the last pound of food products
which we can grow by mobilixing our
scanty labor supply, utilising the men,
women apdachildren and the towns.
people abps@ us; and third. money
for Liberty Bonds.
This Ia the crucial year Of the war.
Our soldiers are at the front, hun
dreds of thousands OF them In the
trenches, and q million more ready to
go. The whole burden of carrying on
our own part in the war, and Of aid
ing our sister nations In arms, rests
ON the United States Treasury.
II the treasury fails or falters or
finds itself unable to respond to every
call upon It, the war Is lost Do you
realize that?
Your son, and all the nations sons
are relying on the United States
Treasury to furnish things with which
they may fight
Their lives are lost II the treasury
fails. Our country is lost II the treas
ury fails.
Germany wins II the treasury falls.
Therefore every cent you can rake
and scrape together belongs to the
treasury, that our soldiers may come
back to us alive and victorious. This
Is literally true. We can whip the
Germans with our money; but not
with the money In our pockets or
bank accounts. 1t must go into the
United States Treasury in subscrip-
lions to Liberty Bonds,

Explain New Wheat Ruling to
Thousands Of customers--In-
sures Greater Food Saving.

CrOcers of the nation have accepted
enthusiastically the $3.50 basis for the
purchase of wheat -four and are doing
their utmost to explain the new regu.
Iation to the housewife. This ruling by
the u. 8. Food Administration requires
each purchaser of wheat -four TO buy
one pound Of cereal substitute, one
Kind or assorted, FOR every pound of
wheat -four. Ii was necessary to re-
strict the use OF wheat -four In order
that the allies and our fighting forces
abroad might be assured of an ade-
Quate supply OF wheat to meet their
vital needs. This supply must come
from our savings because we have al
ready sent our normal surplus
Wheat saving pledge cards were for
warded by the Food Administration to
NIL retail food merchants, and these
are being signed and posted In stores
throughout the country. This card
states. I'VE pledge ourselves Loyalty to
carry out the Food Administration pro-
gram. In accordance with this order
we will not sell any wheat -four except
where the purchaser buys an equal
weight OF one or more Of the following.
d greater use Of which In the home
will save wheat:
sCornmeal, corn -four, edible corn
starch, hominy, corn grits, barley -four,
potato flour, sweet potato -four, soy
bean -four, feterIta -four and meals,
rice. rice fiour, oatmeal. rolled oats and
buckwheat -four"
Some confusion has resulted ON the
part of the consumer In constituting
this .50-50' ruling to mean that an
equal amount In value Of substitutes
must be purchased with wheat -four
This 10 mistaken Idea. The ruling
states that the consumer In purchasing
dour shall "buy at the same time an
equal weight of other cereals"
One exception to this ruling is con-
corning graham -four ard whole wheat
Gour, which may be sold ut the ratio
OF three pounds to five pounds Of
wheat -four. This provision Is made
because approximately % per cent.
more of the wheat berry is used In the
manufacture Of these hours than stand
ard wheat -four,
Another exception Is that concern
ing mixed fours containing less than
so per cent. of wheat -four, which may
be sold without substitutes. Retailers,
however. are forbidden to sell mixed
Aours containing more than 80 per
cent. of wheat -four to any person un-
less the amount Of wheat -four substi-

While Gerard was our am bassador
In Berlin, the Kaiser said to him one
day that he would stand no nonsense
from America after the war.
Do you know what that means? II
means that the Germans intend to
subjugate this country II they come
out Of this war victorious.
The German Imperial government
has preached the superiority OF Ger
many to all the rest Of the world un-
til the German nation Ii drunk with
megalomania. One of their great
writer's expressed the prevailing Of
ficial view In 1908, when he wrote:
"The Teutonic race is called upon
to circle the earth with its rule, to ex-
plot the treasures OF nature and OF
human power. and to make the pas
siye races servient elements In Its
cultural development Who
ever has the characteristics Of the
Teutonic race Is superior All the
dark peoples are mentally inferior, be-
cause they belong to the passive
races. The cultural value OF a nation
is measured by the quantity Of Tea-,
tonism 1t contains"
Are you one of the darker raceg7
Are you willing to DO rated as one
Of the "servisnt elements" in Ger
many's cultural development?
You began to be one OF the "servi.
emit elements" when peaceful people
were slaughtered as they carried your
produce to market. Was it because
you belonged to passive racer"

ing to that insane claim, with the
roar OF q hundred thousand cannon
NOR
Never since the Turks threatened
to overwhelm Europe was the world
In such danger as now. Germany
must be defeated this year. Unless
we win, our place in the world Is
lost, and our history as one of the
"servient elements" begins We must
withhold nothing from the support of
the war. We must give our sons. We
must bring forth food in abundance.
We must give into the treasury OF the
United States every cent we can
spare.
This summer the support of the war
Is up to the farmers; and Uncle Sam
has never called upon the farmers In
vain!

The more potatoes you eat the less

better than well baked potato ex-

Is no poorer excuse for food than a

Rooms Big and jolly.

But what a wonderful task It has
accomplished The Chateau DIES
Halles, transformed into a children's
hospital and rest home In furious
haste under the terrible pressure of
war needs, with little time to think
twice and no time to retrieve errors,
is not only one of the most complete
establishments IF Its kind 1t is one Of
the best children's hospitals In all
France. The two rooms where the
arriving children are isolated for
few days are big, jolly rooms-just
what is need to efface from the little
ones minds the memories of those iron
days behind the German lines. The
big play room is strewn with rocking
horses and wonderful smile-enticing
parrots and other toys carved by the
wounded poilus.
And so you stray from room to room,
and everywhere you find new evil
dences Of this watchful care. And
then you reach the bathrooms. This
chateau was built by man of wealth.
Its plumbing was excellent, and yet Ii
has been stripped out and replaced
with little. low wash basins and little
shower baths that the children can use
more comfortably.
That is how your Red Cross thinks
and cares for Frances children.

The Wars WreckaQe.

Then came the war little riyulet
Of the wars wreckage began to trickle
In at Evian-''repatries,' elderly men
and women, children, even babies, who
had once lived In the parts of France
engulfed by the German tides and
whom the Germans, finding them use
less, were beginning to ship back into
France by way of Switzerland. Grad
ually this rivulet swelled. Soon 1000
of these unfortunates were arriving
at Evian daily. AND fully half Of
them were children. undernourished,
thinly clad, dirty, sickly and, worse,
grim, spiritless, with faces that had
forgotten how to smile.
To care for these children was the
task your Red Cross at once assumed.
Working with the French authorities,
the Red Cross secured permission to
make use of the old and almost forgot
ten Chanteau des Halles up there In
the mountains. For years the castle
had been closed. No effort had ever
been made to fit it up as hospital.
Your Red Gross had to begin at the
very beginning.

Mangini built the chateau Man.

odd years ago he built this castle up
In the mountains for his country home.
But soon after his two children died.
Then he died, and when his widow fol-
lowed him she left the chateau to the
city of Lyons to be used as hospital
for children.
