THE UNITED STATES FOOD AD
MINISTRATION
(Myrtice Buckalew)
The first thing we must consider in
winning the war is feeding our sol
diers. Food has gradually since the
war began assumed a larger place in
the economics, and the strategy of
war, until it will finally win. The
Germans have beetn blockading our al
lies’ food ships and trying to starve
them.
The results of these cumulative for
ces is that North America is called
upon for more food supplies than the
normal exports can afford. Every
thing has such high prices that it is
better to raise more food at home
than to depend upon the grocer for
everything. If the people would only
try they could raise nearly every
thing at home, excepting such as sug
ar, coffee and other imported things,
and could do without so much coffee,
which most certainly is an injury to
the body. They could also use less
sugar. They could make less candies,
use less in coffee and in a few weeks
could save several pounds of each.
They could be more saving with bread
and not leave so many scraps on the
table which are evidently thrown into
hog slop
The men of the Allied nations are
fighting and must have food to keep
fighting, therefore our Allies depend

are every day being sent to France to
do their nation’s fighting, so the peo
ple at home most certainly should “do
their bit.” There is but one vay they

They will in the future have to eat
more com bread and peas.
If every man would do as some few
they would be in a" better condition.
Each man should raise proper food
supplies for home use and have pro
ducts for sale. The majority of food
problems which have arisen in the
United States would have occurred if
we had not gone into war. Our entry
into the war will make the food
problem even easier than it otherwise
I vwuld have been. The fact is this is
I as much our war as it is their war
and unless we can keep the women
and children of our Allies fed, the
western line will surely be thrown to
our Atlantic seaboard and it may be
in an infinitely more dangerous quar
ter in the ransom of Canada as a
penalty for England’s defeat, and we
must do our part in a world suffering
with us to maintain an ideal an’d a
faith which must be the foundation of
the world’s hope in civilization.
Ths is the outstanding dominant
fact which vse wish to bring home to
every America nproducer; that in his
own interest, in the interest of the
nation, and in the interest of the war,
we must turn the face of our agricul
ture toward increased production of
animal food and ultimately decrease
our export of bread and fodder,
grains, etc.
The Allied countries have reduced
their foodstuffs by every device of
which individual loyalty is capable and
of law. This reduction, however, does
not bear uniformly upon the entire
population.
If peace were to come, or if the
submarines were to be overcome there
would no-longer be a shortage in the
world’s wheat supply, but there vwuld

be an overstock. We would naturally
have more wheat than we could han
handle. If ,/e allow an unlimited
drain from our supplies, we will face
absolute shortage next spring. We
are faced with the possibilities of un
due drainage from our supply into
the European ultimate total shortage
of necessiiies. One of the very first
problems that it is necessary to un
dertake to solve is that of our own
breadstuffs.
I think all of you will agree with
me that no half measures are possible
and the only protection to the pro
ducer on one side from possible gluts
w shortage in shipping floods of sup
plies, due to ending the submarine or
to peace, and protection to the con
sumers on every side from speculation
lies in the solution we have proposed,
which is that the President should
summon a commission composed of
the best intelligence of this country,
representing in actual majority the
producers themselves, and lay upon
that commission the national duty of
determining what would be a fair
price for this year’s harvest with a
just return to the farmer.
It is no loose statement that we
face a race of people under a govern
ment intent upon mastery of the
world. The war seems far away to
most of our people. But as surely as
we were fighting for freedom in 1776
we are fighting for our national ex
istence and our national faith this
day and month of 1918.

Chairman Massengale Thank* Pre*
For Valuable Assistance
That the vrk of the newspapers
in supporting the third Liberty Loan
is appreciated is shown in the follow
ing letter from St. Elmo Massengale,
director of publicity for the sixth re
serve district:
The great success of the loan could
not have been achieved without the
unrestricted support of the newspa
pers in this district. In presenting
strong editorials, in the handling of
news matter and in placing display
advertising, our newspapers surpassed
the wonderful records of the first and
second loans. Your co-operation on
the first loan was wonderful; on the
second loan more sc, and on the third
loan perfectly marvelous.
The able assistance rendered your
local Liberty Loan Committee by you
was largely responsible, we believe,
for the great total of sales rolled up
in the counties in your territory. It
is a pleasure to me to acknowledge,
on behalf of the government the debt
f gratitude to you and to extend our
sincere hanks for this noble and pa
triotic work on your part.
With very best wishes for your
continued succss and prosperity, I
am
Yours sincerely,

THE YANKEE BIRD
(By Hal Stephens)
Las’ Sabbath day on mah front po’ch, b’neaf de simmon tree,
Ah was sittin’ an’ thinkin’ 'bout de fightin’ ’cross de sea,
When mah big black German rooster kim a struttin’ by the do’,
All spured up lak one dem majors a marchin’ to de war.
He ruled de roost for many a day, had all de odders scared,
An’ when it kim to fightin’ man, he sholy was p’pared,
His bill was sha’p, his spurs was long, his haid was small an’ flat,
An’ he would fight mos’ anything, a coon houn’ era cat.
Dat Belg’um Rooster what he fit, am walkin’ putty lame,
He tried to kill that French ban’m, but he was mos’ too game,
He slammed erbout that Roosian Red, when he was weak an’ frail,
An’ he pecked a lot of feathers f’om de English Cochins’ tail.
Well ah jes’ set dar a thinkin’ how lak dat Kaiser tout,
Was dis yeare German Rooster what I’m tellin’ yo' erbout,
When ah sees a strange bird cornin’ 'f’om out mah neighbor’s yard,
An’ ah knowed dey’d sho’ be trouble if his pathway it was bar'd.
Dis game cock kim a steppin’ pas’ jes’ lak he had a right,
All dressed up fo’ Sunday lookin’ mos’ too proud to fight,
His tail was red, his bres’ was white, his wings was shiney blue,
An’ when he crowed soun’ lak he say Yankee doodle doo.
Well ’twas jes’ as ah ’xpected dat fool black bird of mine,
Walked right up to de yank an’ say,“look a hyear whar yo‘ gwine,
Ah’ll knock yo’ flat if yo' don’t stay on you’ side ob de fence.”
Dat old bird jes’ laugh at him an’ den de fight commence.
Dat Yankee cock done low’d his haid den frowed out his ches’,
He was fightin’ fo’ a principle an’ boun’ to do his bes’,
He showed dat bird some tactics what de Kaiser neva knew,
An’ dat German bird was winded ’fo he was ha’f way frough.
He soared de air from up abeve lake one dem flyin’ machines
Den work’d from unda’neaf a while, lak one dem submarines,
De way he bust into dat bully sho’ly was er sin,
He’d shake de blood from his haid an’ den he’d fight agin.
In less dan fifteen minutes dat bully lay still an’ quiet,
Lookin’ lak a buzzard dat be’n foolin’ wid dinamite.
Now de odder birds am feedin’ where de earth is newly hoed,
An’ de German Black is layin’ in de ash heap by de road.
True, ah neva did much fightin' ’cept in a home-like way,
But if ah was one dem gin’rels what has eva thing to say,
Ah’d fight jes’ like dat Yankee bird, dog gone mah old black skin,
Tilde stahs an’ stripes were planted on de town hall in B’lin.
