OUR SAVED FOOD
 FED THE ALLIES
Food Administrator Writes Presi- dent America Conserved 141,-
 100000 Bushels Wheat.
CREDIT DUE TO WOMEN.
Meat and Fat Shipments Increased by
 s44,eoo, ,ooo Pounds.

Conservation measures applied by the American people enabled the Unit ed States to ship to the Allied peoples and to our own forces overseas 141,- 0O0,0 bushels of wheat and S44, ,0O0,- 900 pounds of meat during the past year, valued in all at $1, 400, ,O00, ,0OO. This was accomplished in the face of serious food shortage in this country, bespeaking the wholeheartedness and patriotism with which the American people have met the food crisis abroad.
 Food Administrator Hoover, in let ter to President Wilson, explains how the situation was met. The voluntary conservation program fostered by the Food Administration enabled the piling up of the millions of bushels of wheat during 1917-1S and the shipment of meat during 1917-18.
 The total value of all food ship ments to Allied destinations amounted to S1,4OO 100000, all this food being bought through or in collaboration with the Food Administration. These figures are all based on official reports and represent food exports flor the harvest year that closed June 30, 1918.
 The shipments of meats and fats Gncluding meat products, dairy prod ucts, vegetable oils, etc.,) to Allied des- tinations were as follows:
 Fiscal year 1916-1E. z. .166, 800, 900 lbs. Fiscal year 1917-1s. .3,011, 100, GOO lbs.

S0,900, ,OO0 bushels

13,9OO 900 bushels, total of 144900,- 900 bushels.
 The exports to Allied destinations during the fiscal year 191617 were: Wheat 135,1OOOOO bushels and rye 2,3OO,OOO bushels, a total of 137 100000 bushels. In addition some 10,000,000 bushels of 1917 wheat are now in port for Allied destinations or en route thereto The total shipments to Allied countries from our last harvest of wheat will be therefore, about Al O00,- 900 bushels, or total of 154, 100000 bushels of prime breadstuffs. In ad- ditiOn to this we have shipped soms 10,000,0O0 bushels to neutrals depend- ent upon us, and we have received some imports from other quarters.
 'This accomplishment of our people in this matter stands out even more clearly if we bear in mind that we had available in the fiscal year 1916-1I from net carry-over and as surplus over our normal consumption about OOOOO,OOO bushels of wheat which we were able to export that year without trenching on our home loaf MT. Hoover said. 'This last year, however, owing to the large failure of the 1917 wheat crop, we had available from net carry-Over and production and imports only just about our normal cOnsump- tion Therefore our wheat shipments to Allied destinations represent ap- proximately savings from our own wheat bread.
 'These figures. however, do not fully tl, af ,l sacrifice made during the past year by the whole American people. De spite the magnificent effort of our agri- cultural population in planting a much increased acreage in 1917, not only was there a very large failure in wheat, but also the corn failed to mature prop erly, and our corn is our dominant crop.
 II am sure," Mr. Hoover wrote m concluding his report, that all tle millions of our people, agricultural as well as urban, who have contributed to these results should feel very definite satisfaction that in year of universal food shortages in the north. ern hemisphere all of those people joined together against Germany have come through into sight of the coming harvest not only with wealth and strength fully maintained, but with only temporary periods of hardship.
 Ut is difficult to distinguish between various sections of our people-the homes, public eating places, food trades, urban or agricultural pOpula- tions-in assessing credit for these re- suits. but no one will deny the domi- nant part of the American women."

S44,6OO,OOO lbs.

Increase ........... S44,6OO,OOO IDS.
 Our slaughterable animals at the be- ginning of the last fiscal year were not appreciably larger than. the year be- fore and particularly. in hogs they were probably less. The increase in shipments Is due to conservation and the extra weight of animals added by our farmers.
 The full effect of these efforts began to bear their best results in the last half of the fiscal year, when the ex- ports to the Allies were 2,133, ,1OO, 900 pounds, as against 1,266. .50O,O 900 pounds in the same period of the year before. This compares with an average of SO1 ,OOO, 900 pounds of total exports for the same half years in the three-year pre-war period.
 In cereals and cereal products re- duced to terms of cereal bushels our shipments to Allied destinations have been:

JEWS MAKE APPEAL

AS will be seen elsewhere in the
Gazette, American Hebrews are in
voking cooperation Of the Gentiles
in collecting money with which to
aid many suffering thousands-yea
millions--of the chosen people who
: are in Poland and other nearby
places. Israelites from this zone as
well as from parts of Russia were
long since compelled to cave the
country Of their birth and seek other
climes. Many thousands have made
their way to the United States, ana
some are mingling with the people
of Alexandria.
During the past few years some
Israelitish families in these far
away places have been forced to
live in holes in the ground in mid
winter. Their homes had been burn
ed and all their possessions taken
from them.
Jews have long been among tie
most liberal contributors toward ev-
CIV movement made for the 2nrpos"
of al!cviating the Let of others in
orr own city they have cheerfully
responded to appeals for the Red

tho dark days Of war. They now
cXncct a return of the many faVors
of them.
Il is said that about one half OF
the Hebrews Of the world are hIa-
died into what is known rs Galcia
For centuries these people have been
treated as the filth and offscourn@
Of the world. They have and are
still suffering from Jewoa!t:ng,
while starvation starcs most OF the
race in the face.
About two hundred and fifty years
before the great Cyrus of Persir WAS
born the prophet Isaiah called him
BY name and drew his Horoscope. 1t
was shown that in the f,,incss OF
time he would aid materially IN =
movement which would brig tie
captive Hebrews from BABYLON tHtk
to their native land. TIC Persian
monarch was shown the words of
the prophet and he was overJoycd
when he realized Jehovah had h"h-
orcd him by placing his name in the
holy He did everything possible 20
accelerate the homecoming OF TIE
Israclites.
While America is not mentioned IN
the ancient writings, the eye Of
