No, do not see any of the Custer
boys except John Flynn who came
around to see me a couple of times while

it is still raining. Day before yesterday
it showed almost all day, but not very
hard. 1t had the ground covered tut it
did not last long, for it melted as fast as
it came down almost

easy to learn, five centimes is their small

FOOD PROCLAMATION
State Food Administrator c. N. Herried,
of Aberdeen, Issues Statement
TO South DakOtans.

Aberdeen, S. d., April Cone year
ago today the United States ceased to be
a neutral nation. BY entering the war
we actually pledged the allies our fullest
measure of support. They needed men,
hundreds of thousands of men-and we
are sending them. They had to have
food, hundreds of thousands of tons
and we are sending it.
Need Grows Greater.
Their need is greater today than it has
been at any time since the war cloud
first broke. They still need men, but
they must have food. We can send
millions of men, inexhaustibe supplies
Of ammnnitions-bu they will be of nc
avail if we fail to support the troops
over there and the people behind them
If the food fails them they will fail.
The whole country is asked today to
celebrate National Win the War Day
nifcance. 1t may be observed as the
first anniversary of our entry into the
war, of thanksgiving for the progress
we have made. Or it may be made a
day upon which we pledge and repledge
our effort, thought and sacrifice that we
may be able to extend the allies the
fullest possible measure of assistance.
Americas Failure Means Defeat.
We now know that never have the
allied nations faced a grimmer struggle
for existence than contronts them today
We know that only to America may
they turn for assistance. So great has
been the toll of the U-boat that every
ship must be made to work at full capa.
city. Every vessel must make the
greatest possible number of trips, travel
ing to the nearest source of supply
America. If the source of supply fails
them, it means their ships must 90
means diminution of food. And that
means an approach to starvation-fail-
ure, defeat.
The strength of those people over
there depends solely on us. Starving
people cannot uphold their armies And
the armies, even if they are fed, cannot
be kept in the field if the men know
that prvation and want are added to
the suffering back home. The knowl-
edge that their women and children
were starving would rob them of the
spirit which has maintained their deter.
minaton TO stand unyielding before the
onslaughts of Prussia.

We Must Eat Less.

We must face the fact that there is
not in this country enough food to meet
the actual necessities of Europe if we
maintain our normal consumption. We
must feed them, but we have left in
America only the amounts which we
would normally consume before another
harvest. We can expect only what we
save. If our savings are small, Europe
will be underfed-the war will be lost
Need for Wheat Worst.
The greatest need in Europe today is
for wheat. They must have millions of
bushels. Seventy-fVe million bushels,
on the first day of this year was needed
to tide them oyer until July l. Lord
Rhondda, British food controller, cabled
the United States administration that
unless America could supply it, he could
not take responsibility for assuring the
English that they would be fed.
