why ENGLAND HONORS HOOVER
KEPT WOLF FROM DOOR

The war IL ovOr--we are beaten"
che British food controller IL reported
20 have exclaimed when told the u 8
had already shipped It's whole surplus
of wheat Britain at the beginning OF
tho year was consuming half a million
tons OF food each month more than
the margin Of safety permitted. Amer
lea then--not Just the Government but
the loyal American people--saved the
day. The danger of Britain being
starved ont Of the Allied Camp was
averted till next summer at all events
The problem now IL to build up a re
serve 80 that no risk may again be
run and the whole national energy
thrown into the JOB Of getting on
with the war"
u the United States had gone selfish
by ahead eating wheat as usual, and
not saving In export meats, actual
starvation might have faced the PEG
pie Of tho United Kingdom before now.
Fortunately. Mr.. Hoover's masterful
organizing genius was getting results.
and the breakdown in transportation
In the United States was gradually
remeded. The American people have
saved out of their domestic supply OF
wheat about 100000, 900 bushels. and
hkewipo have enabled thu Food Com
missions to export far more meat, In
the last six months. than was orig
tnahy expected. In April, exports of
bacon we're nearly 100000 tons. com.
pared with 1900 tons in April. 1917.
Having performed such splendid
service in conjunction with Lord
Rhondda, Mr.. Hoover is fully entitled
70 tho exceptional honors showered on
him In England.
This splendid achievement in which
the people OF Maryland played their
full share, does not mean that wheat
thrift can now cease. Efforts must
not be relaxed Next summer, II the
war still lasts, the United States will
again have the responsibility Of keep
ing fed the armies and civilized popu-
lation of the Allies whose man-power
long ago was removed from the fields
to the trenches. No chances can be
run unless all the sacrifices of the
past are to count for naught A re-
serve must be'bullt up. Therefore II
Is not possible that there should be
here any material notifications In
the wheat regulations.

A saving of S3O,OOO,OOO worth of
valuable food Is sought In the cam
paign which the United States Food
Administration and the Department OF
Agriculture have launched 10 curtall

this nutritious commodity can be pre-.

In It's most familiar form II hobs up

meat In food value. One pound OF

WHEATLESS PLEDGE AT END
BUT OLD RULES STILL HOLD

The Maryland Food Administration
adds its thanks to those cabled from
England BY Mr.. Hoover to the hotel
and restaurant proprietors who volun-
tarily pledged themselves not only to
keep within the maximum Of -four al
lowed by the Government but actually
to abstain from serving any wheat
whatever until the new harvest came
In A number Of hotels, particularly
in Baltimore, gave their word to the
Maryland Administration that they
would make this vital contribution to
the Allied cause and scores Of othors
took a pledge to out down their wheat
consumption TO the utmost limit with
In their powers. Only the proprietors,
the bakers and the Food Administra-
ton know of the thought. and time
that were expended to turn out a
bread that would be acceptable to pa
irons and still use no wheat even for
binding purposes.
Those who played this game are
now congratulated upon the perform
ance Of truly national service.
Through their efforts Maryland was
able TO add to the overseas store of
foodstuffs thousands Of bushels more
than Mr., Hoover's rules and regula-
lions actually demanded 1t was a
free-will offering that will stand to
the credit of the State.
The release from the wheatless
pledge. however, does not mean that
the existing regulations are at an end.
BY no means. 1t Is essential that
big reserve be built up both here and
abroad in case of emergency. War
Is not game to trlfie with
mr.. Hoovers cable releasing the
hotels from their voluntary wheatless
pledge does not mean for q moment
that the hotels and public eating
places may go back to the serving Of
whole wheat bread" explains Mr.. w. Fl.
Maltbis. Assistant Food Administrator
Of Maryland. They may serve only
Victory Bread, which means bread
that Is rs per cent wheat -four and
rs per cent substitute. And only two
ounces OF such bread may be served
to a customer at one meal as for
merly.
"Mr. Hoovers cable doesn't lift the
necessity for the conservation OF
wheat. II merely releases the hotel
men from their voluntary pledge to
go the limit and use no wheat at all
The baking regulations haven't been
changed and they will continue to be
enforced as they stand"

Getting Out
of It
o0
By DON La GRANGE

ROA ~ AAAS~sSb
Deacon Strothers and his wife
were eating supper when she said to
him across the table:
"Moses, IL should die. would you
marry againf"
"Bless me, but what q question:" he
replied as he choked.
"But / should like to know"
ut amt likely that would"
"You believe I'll go to heaven when
1 die, don't your"
straight rs q crow flies"
"And how'd feel lookin' down from
heaven and SEEM you around with an
other wifei"
'rBut the angels in heaven can't look
down on EARTH"
at is said they can't, but how does
anybody know they can'tT
"rhese are nice mashed taters," said
the deacon az ne helped himself to
some more.
His wife was O Christian woman,
and q church member, but nevertheless
there were times when she wanted to
know, you know, and he found It safer
to choke her off than argue with her.
He was hoping he had in this case
when she said:
"Yes, I've got knack of mashin'
taters, and you'll miss me when I'm
gone. How about my question, MosesI"
"You'll probably outlive me ten
years."
II probably won't, and want to
know If you will marry again2"
"No, sir, shouldn't
The deacon was vexed with her per-
sistency, and no brought out his answer
with an emphasis.
"All right" began the wife and be-
gan talking Of something else.
Next day she and another woman
were drowned by the upsettlng of n
boat on the river. The deacon, who
was over fifty, was overwhelmed for
a time, but gradually his grief wore
away and ne was like himself again.
1t is not contended that he was an
absent-minded man, but It Is stated,
and It Is quite reasonable, that after
the first month the deacon did not
think of that promise again for four
years. Then 1t came like knockout
blow. Bit by bit he had come to be
friends with the Widow Stevens. He
had sat on her doorstep; he had sat
by her fire; he had hoed in her gar
den he had split wood for her cook
stove. Aye, he had called her Sarah,
and she had called him Moses. One
evening he had had q talk with him
self beginning with:
'By the great horn spoons, but that
wilder can make custard fit for
king"
And then: "Deacon, you have been
a wldOwer for four years-for four
long years. You have been sad and
lonely. 1t has come mighty hard"
And again:
"Theres folks winkin' and bllnkin'
around and sayin' that me and the
wilder will make match Of 1t, but
let 'em wink and blink. II hain't none
Of their pesky business, and / have
told 'em So"
Then with a chuckle:
ut wouldn't be bad match for
either one Of us. Home Is where the
husband and wife is, and we've neither
one Of us got home 'cordin' to that.

Three minutes elapsed and then the
deacon brought his fist down and ex-
claimed:

hint I'll just ask her outrightW
