ton which may excite suspicion
or produce strife among the peo-
pie, but in his relation to the pub
lie should so demean himself that
every word and act will manifest
his loyalty to his country and his
solemn purpose to aid in achiev-
ing victory for our army and navy
and the permanent peace Of the
world.
"if there must be Disagree
n,ent, let adjustment be made by
those in official authority rather
than by the participants in the
disagreement. Voluntary or self
constituted committees or asso-
Citations undertaking the settle
ment Of such disputes, instead Of
promoting peace and harmony,
are a menace to society and .
fruitful cause Of violence. The
great aim and object Of all should
be unity Of purpose and solid
arity Of all the people under the
flag for victory. This much we
owe to ourselves, to posterity, to
our country and to the world.
"Therefore, the following rules
should obtain in Iowa during the
war:
"First-Ensiish should and
must be the only medium Of in
struetion in public, private, de-
nominationaI or other similar
schools.
"Second-conversation in pub
lie places, on trains and over the
telephone should be in the Eng
Iish language.
"Third-AII public addresses
should be In the English lang
uage.
"Fourth-Let those who cannot
speak or understand the English
language conduct their religious
worship in their homes.
"This course carried out in the
spirit Of patriotism, though in
convenient to some, will not inter-
fere with their guaranteed consti-
tutionaI rights and will result in
peace and tranquility at home
and greatly strengthen the coun-
try in battle. The blessings Of
the United States are SO great
that any Inconvenience should
willingly be made for their per-
petuity.
Therefore, by virtue Of au-
tf1ority in me vested, !. w. L.
Harding, Governor Of the State Of
Iowa, commend the spirit Of toI-
erance and urge that heneefor-
ward the within outlined rules be
adhered to by all, that petty diff
ferences be avoided and forgot

Pile with one purpose and one
language, we fight shoulder to
shoulder for the good of mankind.

EAT LESS MEAT, TOO

Abstinence from the use OF wheat in
any form until the fall grain crop is
harvested is necessary If serious suf-
fering at home and abroad is to be
avoided. said Herbert Hoover, nation
al food administrator in a message
read from a number Of Keokuk church

Devotion il Needed.

Devotion 10 Needed.
| Mr.. Hoover in his message to the
clergy said:
Our work is not yet complete. In
spite OF the encouraging results Of
our efforts. in spite of the fact that
our exports Of foodstuffs are constant
ly increasing and are approaching to-
the minimum requirements abroad, the
need or renewed devotion and effort
lis pressing. While all of the require
ments of the food administration
should be constantly observed, there
are certain matters which desire to
stress at this time.
Eat Less Meat.
"In the case OF meat and meat prod
ucts the necessities for shipment
abroad are very great. Whereas the
allied consumption has been reduced
to an average of about one and one
quarter pounds per person per week,
we are today enjoying an average OF
about three and One-quarter pounds
per person per week. This division is
ilnequitable. An understanding of
these facts will Justify our request
that the consumption of all meats, in
Guiding poultry, as nearly as possible
be- reduced to two pounds per week
per person over four years of age.
I'm the case OF sugar we are en-
barrassed by the necessity of using
ships for carrying our soldiers and
feeding the allies and in consequence
! we must use sugar with great econ
omy. We must emphasize the impor-
lance OF canning and preserving on a
/ large scale among our people this sum-
mer and our available sugar must be
conserved for this purpose.
Wheat Situation Serious.
'rBut the situation with regard to
wheat is the most serious in the food
supply of the allied world. If we are
to satisfy the minimum wheat require
ments Of our armies and the allies
and the suffering millions in the allied
countries our consumption of wheat in
the United States until the harvest
must be reduced to approximately one
third Of normal. 1t is inconceivable
that we should fail in this crisis.
ITO meet the situation abroad and
to prevent serious suffering at home
il is imperative that all those whose
circumstances permit shall abstain
from wheat and wheat products In any
form until the next harvest.
eft is hoped that you will COM
municate this to your organization
and your community, urging those
whose circumstances will permit to
Join with us and take this stand.
