SEVEN LOAvES OF BREAD
 FOR EVERY PERSON IN
 u. s. SAVED FROM WASTE
Farmers and ThreAhermen Patrioti- caliy Respond to Call of Food
 Administration.

From information received by the U. S. Food Administration from the principal grain growing states, it is now possible to announce with fair ac- curacy the amount of wheat saved last harvest by improved methods of han ding. According to official calcula- tions, efforts toward cleaner threshing saved fully 16,000,000 bushels of wheat with corresponding savings of other small grain harvested and threshed in a similar manner In addition, other states, though unable to furnish fig ures, reported greatly reduced harvest losses.
 The figure for wheat alone is equiv alent to seven one-pound loaves of bread for every person in the United States and represents food that form erly was either an absolute loss or was recovered to only slight extent by poultry and livestock. While op- portunities in this branch of conserva- tion were large, the quantity of grain recovered surpasses early expecta- tions. It is noteworthy also that re- suits were secured principally through voluntary cooperation.
 No conservation measure of the Food Administration, 1t Is declared. has received more wholehearted sup port than that pledged and rendered by farmers and threshermen toward reducing grain waste at its source.

ALLIES ARE FED
 BY SELF DENIAL
Generous Doing Without 1T America Supplied Food
 to Europe.

Exports from this country since 1t entered the war have kept starvation from Allied Europe and have main- tained the health and strength of those who have been bearing the brunt of our battles. so that they could hold out to victory Now that hostilities have ceased we must assume the add ed burden of keeping starvation from increasing its toll upon the millions who have been liberated from the Prussian yoke Famine would undo the work which has been accomplished in freeing the world for democracy. No stable government can be established and maintained by a nation harassed by hunger A starving people turns to rioting and anarchy Food has given strength and courage to the na- tions fighting for democracy; 1t must now give the nations strength and tranquility to re-establish themselves in freedom and democracy.
 Without our help 1t would have been absolutely impossible for the Allies to maintain a living ration. Since our entry into the war we have been con tributing largely to the support of one hundred and twenty million people whose normal food supplies have been cut off, whose production has fallen almost to the vanishing point, whose fields have been devastated by Ger many The food exported from the United States in the past year has been sufficient to supply the complete ration of twenty-two million people.
 It is hard 10 grasp the magnitude and significance of the assistance which has been lent the Allies b. the patriotic. voluntary service of the American people. The food we sent abroad last year would have been suf- ficient to feed one-ffth of our popula- ton. And this was done in spite of the fact that we entered the year with short crops Our surplus was practi- caily nothing. An overwhelming pro- l portion of the food that left this coun- l try last year was saved out Of the nor 1 nal home consumption of our own 1 people.
 In spite or u!ihcuitieS met III HUI | nal transportation and shortage oi oceen tonnage our food exports last year amounted to figure that few years ago would have been unbelieva ble. Even the most optimistic element of our population faced with anxious consternation the prospect whicf opened before us with the beginning of 4ba 1Q1T harvest year
 The American people have not beer
 compelled to save. They have beer appealed to on the basis of humanity
 and of patriotism. They have re
 sponded voluntarily.

Among the Farmers.

The Monroe County Farmers should bear in mind that the U. s. Government is doing it's dead level best to have them take advantage of the Federal Farm Loan Association organ ized in Brinkley few months ago. The money is yours for the asking and Uncle Sam wants you to use the money at 5 1-2 and 6 per cent.
 The boys are coming home from war and it is a splendid sight to see such fine looking specimens of young manhood as the Simpson boys from Allendale-one from Yale Uni versity and the other from Jonesboro Agricultural School, young Ramey from the Jones' boro school and others of my esteemed farmer boy friends wearing the soldiers uniform.
 The report comes that the first sale of U. $. Army mules of them will occur at Camp Pike the latter part of this month. If you want to buy, write John H. Page, State House, Little Rock. He'll tell you about them.

WHEAT SHOWED
 SPIRIT OF J. s.
Sacrifice to Ensure Allied L0at Greatest Single Food
 Achievement.
SUFFICIENT SUPPLY NOW
All the Nations Will Be Able to Re turn to Their Normal Sup ply of White
 Bread.

Overshadowing all other accomplish ments of the American people under the leadership of Food Administration is the history of wheat exports in the past sixteen months. Our wheat ex- port program proved conclusively to the world that America was in this war from start to finish and willing to make any sacrifice that will hasten victory or maintain the health and strength of people overseas, upon whom rested the heaviest weight of our war
 Now that pressure on ocean tonnage is eased by the stopping of large move ments of troops to Europe, we may re- lax our efforts to save wheat. The ac- cumulated surplus in Australia, Argen- tine and other hitherto inaccessible markets will become available, and probably no more than our normal sur plus will have to leave this country We in America and the nations which have won the world for freedom will be enabled to eat their normal wheat loaf at the common table of the peo- pies of democracy.
 We entered the past crop year with a wheat supply which gave us only 20,000,000 bushels available for ex- port. When the crop year ended, we had sent Al 100000 bushels of wheat to Europe. The American people had saved out of their normal consumption 21,000,000 bushels.
 cpryou of aynOrf fUrroc ahoyuc that the conservation of four brought about by the wheatless meals, wheat less days, substitution In our kitchens and bakeries, enabled us to send to our armies and the allies 33,000,00 barrels of white fiour-wheat figured as flour. Had we exported only our visible surplus, we would have been able to ship less than 4,500,000 barrels.
 Before the 1st of December our sur plus had gone overseas, and an addi- tional 86,0O0,OO0 bushels had been talk en from the stock reserved for home consumption and added to the surplus already shipped to the allies. It seem- ed hardly possible that we could bring our total exports above 1O0,O0OOOO DuSucfo Uy July l. put HI thC late Lord Rhondda, then British Food Controller, cabled that unless we could send an additional 75,000,000 bushels ke could not take responsi- bility for assuring his people that they would be fed. The American people responded by sending 85,0O0,00O bush- els of wheat, saved from their home consumption, between the first of the year and the advent of the new crop.
 By October 10, 1918, we had already shipped e5,96o,305 bushels since July 1. Absolutely the only limitation upon our wheat exports since the latest har- vest has been the scarcity of ocean tonnage. If exports continue at the present rate, by July of next year we will have sent more than 237 ,500,- GOO bushels to Europe.
 Thus are we making good America s pledge that the bread rations of Allied Europe shall be maintained.

A GERMAN HOPE DESTROYED

I. A statement made by a promi-
