lowing interesting facts this morning:
We must ship 100000 tons of
food to our soldiers and our allies
this year as compared with 100000 900
tons last year. 1t is estimated that the
following reductions in food consumpt-
ion will accomplish the necessary saw
ing.
Reduction In the consumption OF
bread from an average of six pounds
per person per week. to four and one
half pounds; the reduction in the con-
sumption Of meats and fats from four
pounds per week to two and one half
pounds. Attention is especially called
to the fact that the use Of milk should
not be entirely curtailed.
1t is hoped that the necessary say.
ing can be accomplished entirely
through voluntary response, and with
out having to resort to compulsory ra-
tioning.

HARD TO GET
WAR WORK
Quincy Manufacturers Find That They
are Not Equipped to Take
Contracts In
Sjott

Not all factories are equipped prop
erly to take war contracts, with the
rigid requirements Of the government,
and the Keokuk factories with the
many war work contracts in hand
seem to be specially well equipped
for the purpose. The Quincy Herald
says:
The proposed meeting Of the war
industries board and manufacturers
of Quincy interested in securing war
contracts was held in the Office Of
Chairman W. H. Bennett. Friday
evening, but nothing came from it.
The meeting was absolutely void of
results and no definite plans what
soever were made. 1t was Mr.. Ben
netts opinion that many of Quincy's
manufacturers would be present at
the meeting and some arrangements
would be made to secure war con-
tracts for the manufacture Of hand
grenades and high-explosive shells.
Quincy is not prepared, as very few
factories are equipped. or OF sufd-
cient size to do emergency feet cor
poration work, and the hopes Of many
of the small factories amalgamating
into unit that would be capable Of
handling the big orders seem to be
shattered.
