The real reason why we are taking

And not only have We to protect the
food of the soldier. You are all
aware that since the beginning of the
war the ships of the British navy and
those attached to 1t have increased
tenfold. Sometimes we only think Of
the navy in terms of battleships, de-
stroyers and submarines. Added to
these are thousands of small craft

HAVE ONLY THIRD
OF WHEAT We NEED
HOOVER TELLS THE PEOPLE
MUST CUT CONSUMPTION OF
WHEAT FLOUR TWO.
THIRDS.
BY HERBERT HOOVER.

Recent press. dispatches widely cir
s5culated through the country have given
( the wholly false impression that there
Is no longer need for rigorous cOnSer-
walton of wheat and flour. The food
administration declares that every
aspect of the wheat situation. both
present and prospective intensifies the
need for the greatest possible limita
tion in the American consumption of
wheat and wheat products. If present.
restrictions should be in the slightest
degree relaxed it would result in seri
Gus want for the people of Europe be
fore the new crop can reach the mar
ket.
The food Administrations estimate
of the position on the first Of June In
dicates a total available supply until
the new harvest, including the grain
which will be available from the farms
in country and terminal elevators and
mill elevators. of about 56,OO0,0O0
bushels. OF this 3O,OOO,0OO bushels
must be exported before new wheat IS
available for export. If we are to main
tain the absolutely necessary shipments
to our army and the allies. That
leaves about 26,OOO,0O bushels for do
nestle consumption for. the next two
months.
The normal American consumption is
something over 100000 bushels
month so that the most liberal con-
sumption at home would be only one
third Of normal.

One hundred years ago Napoleon

Of Elba, of which he had been made
sovereign by the allies. He was re-

the sovereign whom the chances OF
fortune had just thrown upon their
shores. The former dictator OF Eu'
rope proceeded to organize his little
island realm with the same care and
as it proved, with the same purpose
Of ACKNOWLEDGMENT he had bestowed

would yet develop political volcano
was general and, as events proved
was we'll founded.

Farmer Fined For III N
Cver Buying Sugar

Charles Thornblade. a farmer of
Liscomb township. who was summoned
before the county food administration
Wednesday afternoon. confessed to
buying more than his allotment OF
sugar and was fined SIS. The money
was turned over to the Red Cross.
Thornblade bought five pounds at
three different grocery stores.
The first purchase was made at the
store where Thornblade usually trades,
At the second grocery the owner be-
came suspicious and after Thornblade
had purchased five pounds, the grocer
followed him to a third grocery where
another five-pound lot was bought.
The grocer who made the second sale
then reported the case to the food adj
ministration. Thornhlade excused him
self on the plea that he had extra
help on the farm and could not get the
sugar from his own grocer.
