THE NO WHEAT PLEDGE
Is Individual and Binding Only on
individual Who Signs it.

Montpelier, June -. 1T may not
be out Of place to point out that the
no wheat pledges which food admin
istration agents are presenting to the
people of Vermont are Individual
pledges SOLELY" says statement just
issued from the Offices of Frank H.
Brooks, Unite States food admins
traitor for Vo,nont.
"In some Instances" the statement
continues, ct has come to our at
tention that some housewives have
felt IT if they signed they would
be plcG1:rc 80 "h1,o 5c"?i'r to snc'7
a course, which they could not do
because of the presence of children
or invalids in the family.
"This is a wrong impression. The
pledges are individual and only
those who sign are affected. It is
voluntary enlistment in the conserva-
ton army by the individual to save
wheat to the limit Those who can
so without wheat should do so, and
all offers should decrease their con-
sumption to the minimum.
"Sone members of o family may
be On a no wheat pledge while 9TH
ers, for good reasons, may not be.
But all who can should be. The
pledge is a simple one declaring that
wheat product until the time OF the
the sgner will not consume any
new harvest Those who can and
will take the pledge will have their
names inscribed On the honor roll
at the state house.
1.-THE food administration for Yer
mont is already much gratified by
the splendid corporation it has re-
ceived from the general public and
1t may be said that wheat -four con-
sumption in this state is only about
30 per cent. of the normal pre-war
consumption.
"This means that the people OF
Vermont have seen their duty and
have responded to the call. Some
can do more. and those whose cir
cumstances hermit should so without
wheat entirely until the new harvest
that there may still be wheat enough
TO ship to our Allies and for those at
home who for good reasons must
still depend upon wheat as the main
stay Of their diet"

of, had it not been for these stbsti-
tutes. With the approaching wheat
crop giving promise of bumper pro.
portions, the natural tendency will
be to say: 1--WE can have all the
wheat we wish" Not so. The one
imperative stern obligation and the
one SURE THING that we owe our
boys over there and our allies is to
build UP so large reserve of wheat
that never again will the. failure of
our cause be endangered by lack of
food as came near being the case
this spring, and surely would have
resulted had we not given our pre-
cious wheat. No banking institution
would Or could do business without a
reserve. No more can the allied
raUSe ho on q r0o--~c bots r-;+H~TTt =
huge grain reserve to guard against
lean year or two that probably will
occur before this war is won for
conclusive peace. Let US all continue
the use of substitutes to help win
the war.

The supply OF sugar requires tina:
we use just as little as possible. Su
gar must be bought in b pound
lots or under the card system
Householders by signing sugar GER
tif1cate can get sugar for canning and
preserving uses. The situation is
that, in the case of sugar, it is not
so much a matter of essential and
non essential Industries. 1t is abso-
lutely an effort to provide enough
sugar for the harvest, j. e., to can
and preserve so that the products Of
the summer season will be saved. If
there is sugar enough for this and
the domestic supply. it will then be
necessary to provide for essentials
as against non essentials like soda
fountains. candy, etc. AS regards ice
cream, this is in the 1000 class in
hat it helps the disposition and pres
arvation Of dairy products as
against sherbet and soda water.
which must be put N the non essen
t;al class with candy.
If you wish the Allies success, save
sugar.

"sAvE AND PRODUCE FOOD"

Remember. now that bumper crops
are coming in. that they are ours
not for our prodigal extravagant use
In peace.-but to save, that a huge
reserve may be built up for a war
not only against waste, oppression
and the diabolical Hun, but against
a day when our year of plenty may
turn to a lean year or two.
Like the far-sighted Joseph of old
we will then have reservoir with
which to save a hungry world. We
will also bring to a triumphant con-
clusion our holy war because we
have been foresighted enough to
produce the one sure foundation for
a. successful war. without which no
power can win-food in abundance.
With the above statement. the
Vermont Food Administrator closes
with a series Of questions which we
rnay well ask Of our Country. which
has given US all that we have. The
answer to these questions will de-
termine tie amount that we stand
ready to do for that Country, whether
1t he the saving Of food or othe~
patriotic service.

WHATS THE Difference

When plumber makes mistake he
charges twice for it.
When a judge makes a mistake, it
becomes the law of the land.
When a preacher makes a mistake,
nobody knows the difference.
When a dentist makes a mistake, he
can always repair the damage.
When an electrician makes a mis-
take, he blames it ON induction-no-
body knows what that is.
When lawyer makes a mistake, it's
just what he wanted, because he has
q chance to try the case all over again.
When a carpenter makes a mistake,
it's just what he expected, because
chances are ten to one that he never
learned his trade anyway.
But when newspaper man makes
mistake: Good night.-H. M. p, in
