PROVED SPIRIT
OF. DEMOCRACY
Voluntary Basis Of Food Saving
Showed Heart Of America
Beat True for Freedom. /.

To the voluntary service and sacri.
nce Of the American people must he
attributed the continued health.
strength and morale Of the Allied ar
mics and the civil populace.
Upon this spirit Of service and sac
rtfice will depend Europes fate In the
months to come. In the past year we
have Carried out an export program.
the magnitude of which Is almost be-
yond comprehension. But with the
new demands that have come, with
the liberation of nations freed from
German oppression. our exports must
be almost doubled. Instead Of H. 800.
600 tons, we must ship twenty million
tons Of food to Europe In the coming
yenr-as much as can be pushed
through our ports.
II the Allies had not been fed by,
America. II would have been impos-
Tense against Germany.
Meeting this world need on a purely
voluntary basis, the American people
have conclusively proved that democ.
racy Ia success ano that in time of
need 1t will rise to Its own defense.
II there were no other accomplish.
ment to It's credit the very fact that II
has shown the strength Of democracy
has in itself more than justified the
existence Of the Food Administration
10 the eyes Of the world.
Less than four months after the
United States declared war the United
States Food Administrator expressed
his determination to meet Americas
food problem on basis of voluntary
action and reiterated his confidence
that awakened democracy would prove
irresistible.
"Muny thinking Americana" said
Mr.. Hoover, land the whole world
have been watching anxiously the last
four months in the fear that demo
cratic America could not organize to
meet autocratic Germany. Germany
has been confident that 1t could not be
done. Contrary proof is Immediately
at our door, and our people have al.
ready demonstrated their ability to
mobilize, organize, endure and prepare
voluntarily and efficiently in many d.
rections and upon the mere word Of
inspiration aside from the remarkable
assemblage Of our Army and finances"
Tie history of the Food Administra.
ton has clearly shown that the trust
Of those who put their faith In democ.
racy has not been misplaced.

SCOUT TRAINING SAVES LIFE.

Percy Cameron, a member Of Boy
e.out Troop No. Of Everett, WASH,
showed the value Of his boy scout
training when he assisted in rescuing
another boy from drowning near the
Clark ickers0n mill.
Percy had been instructed in the
methods Of rescuing drowning persons
by Scoutmaster Clifford, and when the
boy fell OF the boom he dived in
after him.
The drowning boy got strangle
hold on Percy's neck. but Percy re-
leased himself. Had Percy not had
the training that caused him to get
away from the grip Of the other boy,
he would probably have been unable
to keep afloat until help came and
would have drowned also.

reports from 80 grain states to the q.
8. Food Administration. Other states
although not prepared to furnish defi-
mite figures Of conservation In the
grain fields, report greatly reduced
harvest losses.
This rural food saving achievement,
accomplished in scarcely six months
time, was In direct response to re-
quests by the Food Administration,
which asked farmers and threshermen
to reduce harvest losses from about
81 per cent-the estimated average
in normal times-tO the lowest possi-
BILE minimum. Country grain thresh-
ing committees carried into every
grain growing community the omcial
recommendation for accomplishing
the results desired.
In numerous instances drivers Of
racks with leaky bottoms were sent
from the fields to repair their equip
ment and frequently bad order thresh.
ing machines were stopped until tho
cause Of waste was removed. But in
proportion to the number Of persons
engaged in gathering the nations grain
crop, cases Of compulslon were COM
paratively rare. The Food Admins
tration freely attributes the success OF
the grain threshing campaign to pa
triotic service by farmers, thrcsher.
men and their crews Incidentally
grain growers Of the United States are
many millions Of dollars 'in pocket
as q result Of the grain saved.

Big Jobs are Done
Well by Red Cross

London. Aug. 4. (By Mail)-One
OF the earliest forms of war activities
undertaken by the American Red
Cross in Great Britain was the manu-
facture of surgical dressings and 9TH
er hospital requirements. From mod
est beginnings this work has increased
until II now employs more than 1000
workers in 80 branches thruout Great
Britain. The monthly output of these
workshops averages 100000 separate
articles per month. and the output has
recently risen to nearly twice that
total.
The centre OF this activity is in
large building at sc Grosvenor Gar
dens. adjoining the administration Of
fees of the American Red Cross. is
rooms In the building are devoted to
various branches of this work. which
is in charge of Mrs. H. S. Waite as
chairman. All the rooms occupied in
the manufacture of surgical dressings
are large. light and airy. and the
most modern appliances are at the dis
posal Of the workers. At this central
station $50 workers are employed. of
whom $50 are volunteers while 100 are
paid moderate allowance. The paid
workers are all women who have suf-
fered financially owing to the war.
and TO whom the small payments Civ
en- them by the Red Cross are great
boon.
The out.work branches in various
parts of England are mostly under
British administration. but the Ameri-
can Red Cross furnishes all the mater
ials and patterns. which are sent out
In large hampers. Fifty hampers are
in constant circulation for this purpose
The supplies. when gathered into the
central warehouse. are sent out thru
regular system of distribution to 6
principal hospitals in Great Britain.
and 10 great number of hospitals on
the British. French and American
fronts in France.
A few weeks ago. the central work
rooms received an urgent appeal from
the American army for 200, 900 first
aid packages to be supplied to Ameri-
can soldiers. Each of these packages
was TO contain IL articles. the whole
order thus involving the manufacture
of 100000 separate dressings togeth-
er with an enormous amount of labor
In connection with the careful packing
and shipment OF the packages. This
work. moreover. was TO be carried on
without interfering with the regular
duties OF the workrooms in supply
ing their usual hospital supplies. II
was a big order: but the executive
committee telegraphed its answer i'm
mediately: I'VE will deliver first-aid
packages as requested. at rate OF l5.-
90 per week. beginning Immediately -
From the first week. this rate has
been exceeded. and the entire order
has now been filled and is in the
hands of the American army author
tiles.
Some time ago the workrooms made
! arrangements with Nine. Carton de
Wharf of the Belgian relief committee
for lurge number of hospital gar
ments to be made by Belgian women
refugees In Great Britain. These
garments are made In their homes. in
various parts OF Great Britain. the cut
out garments being sent in hampers
to Madame de Wharf nd returned fin
ished TO the workrooms. Payment
for the work is made to Madame de
Wharf in bulk and distributed by her
to the individual workers.
