' HOOVER SA ‘PHOTOS COPYRIGHTED by YS IN EXCLUSIVE | HOUSEWIVES AND FARMERS OF “WE MUST GO ON SAVING WHEAT” By MILTON BRONNER Special Stait Dispatch. Washington: Jilly 16.—‘tLast.year we invented a slogan to the effect tnat food would win the war. can housewife and the American farm- er that American food this * spring saved the war.” This statement was given me by the commander-in-chiet of the great, est voluntter army in the history of the globe. He holds his commission from President Wilson, and such pow-, ers as he has were grudgingly given by an ungenerous congress, but his; soldiers of the*common good were not drafted. They number not millions, but tens of millions, because they are the farmers who raised the food and the women who saved it. Of Course, the general J] am quoting is Herbert C. Hoover, national food administrat- | . or. The last time I Had an extended talk with him for readers of’ the Daily Tribune was’ six months ago. Every prediction he made then has _ been veriSed. He said the allies would need over 140,000,000 bushels of our wheat and that our housewives would save it. And it came to pass over 100 per cent. Maybe Hoover. is physically and mentally tired after his, grind ‘of the past year, but he is not weary of well-doing and he is not pessimis- tic about the plain people. He is borne up by the knowledge that they are, with him. | I asked him how he liked his job. He smiled quizzically. “No man in Washington at the head of a big department is enamored of his job,” said he. ‘No man_ takes these tasks willingly; no man has a right to refuse the country’s bidding. |. “It is impossible to make clear to everyone in our 105,000.000 people the reasons for a given line of action. Every decision ,in war times in con- nection with business matters is the choice of that which is the least evil, for-war is destruction. “We interfere by necessity with the ordinary laws of supply. and demand. This is true’ because we deliberatly change the currents of production and: consumption: to. make way for the distribution of resources. that war demands. ‘ ’ “Any single measure is taken solely from that aspect, and~ necessarily means the disruption o fsome things Soften this as much as we may, be as wise as Solomon, somebody. gets hurt, somebody. suffers. f “The people: Who suffer, mainly do it willingly and — philosophically as part of the war/game. They are ‘proud of the sacrifice. But there are a few who are unwilling and who cannot see why they must suffer more than’ their neighbor. Washington is the happy hunting ground of those few. “They .not,only bombard the heads of departments personally with their complaints, but also their ¢ongress- men and senators and the president. “The whole atmosphere: of Wash- ington is a mass of complaint. Every congressman and senator gets his viewpoint from the microscopic mi- nority who complain hecause they are either selfish, or have a different pan- acea to offer, or would be wiser if they had the job. > “The net effect is that every man in responsible position ‘is legding ‘a life of misery from © morning until night in trying to deal with these complaints in the midst of more im- portant matters. It is difficult to keep one’s balance in a situation like that. ; constipated, peevish, crosg,; Donity gut fer, Hollister's Rocky Mountaid 'Téq will, purify your stomach, clean your powele. restore your appetite.

The storm blockade. on our railroads and the shortage in | transportation generally made it im possible.to ship food in the necessary quantities. The allies’ supplies ran down to a dangerous level.

Our food saved the day, | and we never could have shipped the amounts we did.if it had not been for | the enormous savings voluntarily ef- fected: by the American people. “One Jtine 1 the total , available wheat supply of this country was about. thirty-two million bushels, By July 1 we will have scraped the barrel clean, And the fine thing js that our people are not scared by it.
