Exports from this country since It entered the war have kept starvation from Allied Europe and have main tained the health and strength of thone who have been bearing the brunt of ur battles, so that they could hold out to victory. Now that hostilities have ceased we must assume the add ed burden of keeping starvation from Increasing Its toll upon the millions who have been liberated from tho Prussinn yoke. Famine would undo the work which has been accomplished In freeing the world for democracy. No stable government can be established and maintained by a nation harassed by hunger. A stnrvlng people turns to rioting and anarchy. Food litis jlven strength and courage to tho na tions lighting for democracy j It mnst now give the nations strength and tranquillity to re-establish themselves In freedom and democracy. Without our help It would have been absolutely Impossible for the Allies to maintain a living ration. Since our entry Into the war we have been con tributing largely to the support of one hundred end twenty million people whose normal food supplies have been cut off, whose production has fallen almost to the vanishing point, whose fields have been devastated hy Ger many. The food exported frem the United States In the past year ha been sufficient to supply the complete ration of twenty-twoinlltlo", people. It la hard to grasp the magnitude and significance of the assistance i which has been lent the Allies by the patriotic, voluntary service of the American people. The food we sent abroad last year would have been suf ficient to feed one fifth of our popula tion. And this was done In spite of the fact that we entered the year with short crops. Our surplus was practi cally nothing. An overwhelming pro portion of the fond that left tills coun try lust yenr was saved out of the nor mal homo consumption of our own people.

SEVEN LOAVES OF BREAD FOR EVERY PERSON IN U. S. SAVED FROM WASTE Farmers and Threshermen Patrlotl. cally Respond to Call of Food Administration. From Information received by the U. S. Food Administration from the principal grain growing states, It la now possible to announce with fair ac- curacy tho amount of wheat saved last harvest by Improved methods ot han dling. According to official cnlcula- Hons, efforts toward cleaner threshing saved fully 10,000,000 bushels of wheat with corresponding savings of other small grain harvested and threshed In a similar manner. In addition,, other states, though unable to furnish fig' urea, reported greatly reduced harvest losses. The figure for wheat alone Is equiv alent to seven one-pound loaves of bread for every person In the United States and represents food that form erly wns either an absolute loss or was recovered to only a slight extent by poultry and livestock. Walls op portunities In this branch of conserva tion were large, the quantity of grain recovered surpasses early expecta tions. It Is noteworthy also that re sults were secured principally through voluntary co-operation. No conservation measure of the Food Administration, It Is declared. has received more wholehearted sup- mrt thnn that pledged and rendered by farmers and threshermen toward reducing grain waste at Its source. Wheat! Wheat! I am buying wheat for the Pacific Grain Co. succes sors to W. H. liouserand am prepared to buy your grain outright and pay cash Can furnish grain bags at lowest prices. ROY V.
