FOOD-SAVING TEXTS
ISSUED TO CHILDREN
School Lessons Teach Adults,
Too, That Warfare Means
Sacrifice

a series of food conservation les
sons, prepared by the United States
food administration for the school chill
dren of the city but guaranteed to make
good reading for Philadelphia house
wives and Pennsylvania i'm general to-
day were presented to the classes.
The lessons have been prepared to
help the children understand the vital
need for national food conservation and
to emphasize that warfare means sac
rfce and saving as well as lighting.
Today's lesson begins with the funda-
mental principle upon which the work of
the administration p; based II is cal
culated to impress upon the children Il
sense of justice to the soldiers fighting
ia France.
The lesson in part follows:
what can we do to help save the sol
der boys life? We must see TO It that
he gets all the supplies of every sort and
will help to make him safer. What does
he need? Rifles cannon. shells, dyna-
mite and airplanes. All these things
he fights with, but he needs many more
things also. There must be tents. lum-
Der for cabins, for warehouses, for
| stables, tools to build and dig with,
| horses, mules oats and hay and harness,
motortrucks. barrels and barrels of gas
| oline and oil, wire. telegraph instru-
mentS, telephones, TO carry all these
things from the ports in France to the
supply depots in the camps there must
be locomotives and cars, rails and ties,
and even new railroads. Then to carry
all the things across the sea there must
be ships ships ships and the U-boats
| are sinking ships so fast that we must
build as no nation ever built before. All
| these things the soldier must have to
save his life; all these things to work
with besides clothes to keep him warm.
! "Of course. the soldier must have
food, toC--1our, sugar, butter, beef, ham,
| bacon lard, cans of peas, tomatoes, APP
ples-wagon loads, carloads, trainloads
| shiploads. Every day he must have
food. If stream of food wagons went
past your door without ceasing every
minute of the day and night 1t would
not carry enough food to keep the Amer
| lean army, and now that army is getting
bigger every day. More than that, We
must also send food not only to our
own soldiers. but. to the soldiers of
France and England and Italy, and to
the other French, English and Italian
| peoples as we'll

GORE IN SENATE FIGHT
FOR WHEAT BILL RIDER
Demands Two-thirds Vote on $3.50
Wheat Price-Move to Control
Probe of Packers Books

Washington, March ls.-The Senate
today was involved in a bitter night
over an effort led by Senator Gore, of
Oklahoma, to hang two important rid
ers on the agricultural appropriation
bill
The first of these riders is an amend
ment for $3.50 wheat. Notwithstanding
President Wilson's opposition. Senator
Gore, frequent insurgent today de-
manded the suspension of the Senate
rules to make the rider in order. His
motion requires "A two-thirds vote, and
although sentiment is fairly strong in
the Senate for $3.50 wheat indications
were that the movement would fail.
Senator Gore as chairman of the agri-
cultural appropriation bill, takes the
position that America will not obtain
the maximum of wheat production neces-
sary this year unless the price to the
farmers is materially increased. III he
fails to get the price increased by aG-
ton on the pending agricultural bill,
he will renew the effort at the next par
liamentary opportunity
