county chairmen in our state. )"


The Government needs money
and needs 1t badly, as the estimated
daily cost Of the war to our allies
is $6o,000,000. The President in his
proclamation makes an earnest ap
peal to every man, swoman and child
In Missouri, to pledge themselves on
Or before June rs to save constant.
~ and to buy as regularly as pos.
sfble War Savings Stamps. Our
Commander-in-Chief OF the Army and
Navy has called upon a volunteer
army to be mustered for June rs.
and every person should on that &C.
,casion go to the firing line, to make
solemn pledge to help the Govern.
mentl win the war by subscribing for
War Savings Stamps. 1t is not nee.
essary for individuals to wait until
June 2s to make their pledges, as
they can do so at any time with any
banker in their local community or
with any of the local War Savings
Societies.
The object Of the President of the
United States, of the Governor and
Of the mayors of every municipal.
tty in the state in designating June
RS as War Savings Day is that
enough pledges will be secured by
that date to at least assure Missouri's
quota.

WHEAT SITUATION
IS MOST SERIOUS
IN FOOD SUPPLY
EVERY EFFORT OF MISSOURI
FOOD ADMINISTRATION AIMS
AT FURTHER SAVING.
MUST REDUCE CONSUMPTION
Until Harvest People Should Do With
out White Bread Where
Possible.

Reports which have been circulated
in Missouri and other states that Food
Administration officials have said
there is no necessity for further con-
servation in wheat are denied en-
phatically by F. B. Mumford, Federal
Food Administrator for Missouri.
mo statement of the kind has been
made" said Mr.. Mumford. THE ac-
tual position is that our surplus until
next harvest allows a home consump-
ton of approximately one-third nor
.1nal If we are to maintain supplies for
the Allies"
Far from intimating that further
conservation In wheat Is not neces.
sary, the; Missouri Division of the
United States Food Administration is
exerting every effort now to the saw
ing of wheat during the next few
months. Every person who can do so
is asked to eliminate wheat entirely
from his diet until the next harvest,
Thousands of persons throughout the
United States have pledged them
selves to eat no more wheat until
that time.
Wheat Situation is Serious.
Herbert Hoover, In an appeal to the
American people which was read in
all the churches of the country recent
ly, declared that the situation with re-
gard to wheat is the most serious In
the food supply of the Allied world.
> II the minimum wheat requirements Of
oir afanies and the Allies and the suf-
fering millions In the Allied countries
are to be satisfied. our consumption Of
wheat in the United States until the
next harvest must be reduced to ap-
proximately one-third of normal. Mr..
Hoover said.
at is inconceivable that we should
fall in this crisis" said Mr.. Hoover.
For each of us who can personally
contribute to the relief of human suf-
feringsit Is privilege, not sacrifice,
All elements of our population cannot
bear this burden equally. But to pre-
vent serious suffering at home it Is
imperative that all those whose Cir
cumstauces permit shall abstain from
wheat and wheat products in any, form
until the next harvest"
The simplest way to save wheat Is
to stop eating wheat bread in the ex-
travagant and casual way to which
Americans have been accustomed. The
careless habit of eating bread to fill
in the idle moments at the table is
wasteful. The use OF all bread, crack
ers and pastries containing wheat
flour should be abolished until the
new wheat crop is harvested.
Is Small Sacrifice.
Doing away with wheat altogether
is small sacrifice, not comparable to
the great sacrifice the men at the
front are making" said Mr.. Mumford.
And giving up wheat can be done
without injury to the health by the
majority Of people. Eating of wheat is
habit to large extent"
The Food Administration has pre-
pared a new bulletin called Wheat
less Recipes" which tells how to
make palatable breads. biscuits, cakes
and pastries without the use of any
wheat flour.

Shame Makes One FORGET.

Forgetting is a strange phenomenon
According to the modern psychologists
we are most apt to forget those things
that we do not want to remember-es.
pecially those of which we are
ashamed.
In an address on criminals who are
on the border line of insanity, dellv-
cred recently before the Clinical So
ciety of st. Elizabeth's Hospital, Wash
ington, DR.. Leon Emile Duval told of
many mentally unbalanced men who in
their normal state could not remember
disgraceful deeds they had done, and
said this was to be explained on the
basis that ut is the thing of which we
are ashamed and which conflicts with
the customs Of society which is soonest
relegated to the realm of the uncon.
scious."
