shipments overseas.
Shipments of wheat to our Allies will
cease temporarily within the next ten

promised will have left our shores

crop begin in September.
Great praise was to-day given the
American, housewives who, through co.
operating in the conservation measures
of the food administration. made possible
the enormous movement of wheat to our
Allies. 1T was the, women of America
who saved the situation" said admins.
