economy of the kind that feeces
the customer and leaves him over
stocked on things that he seldom,
, if ever, uses-merely keeps the
market open and moving strong on
a lot of junk that the American
people could live very well indeed
without ever having an ounce of it
in their systems.
If there is an urgent need Of
-four at the front, there are very
few American citizens who are not
perfectly willing to forego their
wheat bread altogether in order
that the front should be supplied.
They are willing to take corn meal
in its stead and make the best of
it. They are willing to adopt any.
wholesome substitute that the
Government may find can be sup
piled in quantity sufficient, and
boast their ability to eat it; but we
do not see why our food regulators
should lay down law that COM
pels us to part with our perfectly
good money for a lot of stuff that
has no particular love for our di-
gestive organs and never has been
classed as among the staple foods.
We move a reconsideration, and
that flour be withdrawn from the
market altogether, or else revise
the plan whereby the people of
these United States are being
handed a raw deal.

sioners should require license OF
$1,000 or more per month for each
dog and money obtained from such
license sent to the destitute in
France and Belgium and could be
very graciously used in our own
country in the near future. | be-
lieve it would soon change the pro-
German sentiment of these people.
There is a town in Kansas that
is demonstrating that the waste,
or what is termed garbage, is be-
ing fed to hogs and is making a
nice showing ii meat production.
Why not uee such waste economi-
cally? J.. is not uncommon to see
two dogs owned by one person,
and in some cases the dogs indicate
that they have neither meatless
nor wheatless days as required for
every citizen to observe.
By diminishing the number of
dogs many children that are hun
CRY could be fed, and millions of
dollars worth of hogs and sheep
could be saved that are so badly
needed for meat and clothing. AL
so the birds that are doing their
I"bit" in destroying the enemies
Iof our food production would be
increased in numbers.
I've written this as a suggestion
and not for publication.
Hoping the press will have
space to enthuse loyal citizens a
gainst the wasting of food by
those who are aiding Kaiser Bill
by feeding useless dogs, while
thousands of people are destitute.
Yours truly,

That Flour Foolishness
Il. G. BAIRD.

The following editorial from
the FellSmere Tribune expresses
the views Of The Herald:
We strongly suspect we will be
branded os pro-German, if we
speak freely our opinion of the or
ders that have been promulgated
by the food folk who are now safe
ly esconced at our muzzle and
guarding our consumption of
grub, but really some of those or
derS seem to us to be foolish. If
the bread situation is as bad as
these orders would lead one to be-
lieve, why in the name of all that
is done and gone before don't the
government "bodaciously" take
over the food supply, issue tickets
and regulate the sale Of the stuff
IN a humane manner? The fact
that you have got to go into the
store and buy seven dollars and
nlghty-siX cents worth of substi-
tutes before you can get pos
session of 24-pound sack of de-
cent -four, is the last straw. 1t is

The Liberty Loan Explained

When you buy a Liberty Bond
you are not giving away your
money. You are merely lending
1T to the United States Govern
ment, AS long as it uses your
money, the Government will pay
you interest. The loan itself will
be returned to you in the specified
number OF years. If you want it
back sooner, you can get it by SELL
ing your bond. Safe places for
savings are being sought in this
hour of financial uncertainty. No
vault in the world is so safe as
Uncle Sans promise to pay his
debt to you.
