FOOD SAVINGS WINNING WAR.
IX ADDUKSSINtl the convention of Advertising Clubs
fit. Sun Francisco, State Food Adininisl nitor Merritt
stated that when Mr. Hoover cabled the late Lord
Rlionddii, food administrator of (jpeat Britain that the
last of the 1917 wheat harvest had been sent on January
and that all the wheat that could be sent the allies between
January and September must come from the savings of
the. American people, that Lord K'hondda closed his desk,
and said to his associates:
"The war is over. We are beaten."
The surplus of wheat which was shipped up to January
1, 1918, from the 1917 wheat harvest was 20,000,000 bush
els. By the first of September, 1918, there will have been
landed on the other side of tho Atlantic not less than 170,
000,000 bushels of wheat, or wheat products, and of this
amount 1."jO,000,0()0 bushels is directly attributable to the
voluntary savings of the people of America.
This shows how the people have willingly and cheerful
ly responded to Hoover's appeal. Tt is a demonstration of
patriotism and an indicator of the spirit of the people to
aid in winning the war.
Tho. people, cut down the use of wheat, in many in
stances going without it. ailfogcthcr. When t he food crisis
became acute, the people of stale after state voluntarily re
turned the wheat flour thev had on hand for shmnient
abroad and their self denial made the continuation of the
war possible by feeding the peonies and armies of our
allies.
Lord Rhondda did not know the American people did
not; realize that the entire nation was united to win the
war -rogardlc ss of the cost. He did not comprehend the
vastness of our resources or realize that America produces
ample food products to adequately feed the hundred mil
lions or our population without, consuming a grain of
wheat, if necessity requires it.
rood is winning the war and the food that is winninir
it, come.-! from the patriotic savings xi the American peo
ple. Whenever the food engineers flv the danirer simml
and request us to go slow on the danger curves of sugar,
wneaiaiid meat, we must Heed the warning knowing that
our self denial is feeding an ally and helping block the
kaiser's program of conquest.
