A.N Al'l'KAl, TO .\ ASS AI
At ihi^ lirue whe'ii all thoughts are uix>n the war, aud each person anxious lo do his or ber 'bit " lo help the cause, let me quote from au appeal made hy I're'sident VVilson. "The su¬ preme need of eiur nations is an ab.uudance of siipiilies, and esecially of food stiifl's. The iniportaiH-e of an jidequale fesKl siipjily, especially for the iires¬ ent years, is superlative. Let me suggest al.io thai everyone who creates or cultivates a gar¬ den helps, and helps greatly, to solve the problem of the feed¬ ing of the n-alions: and that every housewife wliii iiraclices strict ee-otiomy piii.-i herself in tbe ranks eif those wliii se-rve the nation. This is ilic lime for America lei e-orrei I the' iinpar- d'mati''- 'mil of wasu-fiilness and e'.N'travaKanc'-. Let every man any every woman as.-^iiine the eliily of e-are-fiil, provident use and expemdiltire as a pub¬ lic duly, as a dictate of patriot¬ ism which no one can now ex¬ pect ever to he excused or for¬ given for Ignoring."
I cannot too strongly urge upon my friends of I^ing Isl¬ and wbo stand united patriots to their country to heed the words of our President and act upon bis appeal. Conservo your food supplies and iitilizc everv piece of land now idle. To my young friends the hoys and the girls--now is .vo.iir chane-e to help: .vour opportunity to sliow- your patriot ism hy assisting your father and mother em the farm and In the house.

industrial America now confronts is men of (.'laude KItchln's type, who be¬ lieve that American business should hear the cost of tbe war. If Mr. Klt- cbio, as cbairman of the ways and means committee, can force bis meas- I ures through Congress, industrial j America wll| bc bled white, and the ! end uf tbe war will find it powerless | against the highly eQlcient and Gov- { ernmcnt backed industries of (^rope. | For a long time American producers | have been laboring under a double i uaiidicap taxed on their productioii, | and uuprotccted from foreign competi- | lion. When the war finally enabled tbem to earn profits ibey became sub- i jected tu an excess profits tax. If I -Mr. Kitchin could have hia way he would put tbis tax up to a i>oiut which ' would paralyze production in .\merica, i and it is the duty of his colleagues on the commltlee to see tbat he Is not , perniiiled to ba\e free swing.

"If .Mr. Wilson finds any of hi.s Cab¬ inet ministers incapable under the strain of war, bo may be trusted to ' dismiss them and to seek in their j places the most capable adminlstrat- eirs, qualified lo work in harniony with himself, that tbe country contains." This is the e)pinion of the Spring-field i Ke[tulilie-an. Tht- view is too opii- |
mi.-itie-. '
The Cabinet (-ontains now, as it has ,
always contained, mcmhcs who have
shown themselves Incapable under the |
strain of peace, to say nothing of the
strain of war. Yet the- President has '
1 disioissed none of them. On the other :
I hand, he virtually dismissed Mr. Gar-
; ri.son, one of the inosi capable men who ;
lever sat in a CahineJ, and replaced i
; him with a yoiiltiful enlhiisiast of the ¦ ' ' i

The follies and failures of .Mr. Dan- |

Hoover Appeals to the People of America
Herbert C. Hoover, the great American siitcess a.s chairman of the American Commission for Re¬ lief m Belgium, did his work so well tbat the people say he is more efflcient than the Germans them¬ selves. President Wilson has called him home to be head of the American Food Board. He is still in l,ondon, but he sends a call from tbere to the Americah people to get ready for starvation. This call every patriotic American shiiild hear eatei-, farmer and college student alike. The man who plants another acre of corn this spring, or tbe student who helps hira cultivate It is surely a patriot meeting our greatest need.
Ixindon April 21.—The first and tnost important duty of the American people to their allies is to ee-emomize on food-stuffs. This is tbe appeal of Herbert C. Hoover. 'If we rio not do it." he declared lo-day to the Associated Pre s. "we stand a grave chance of loslns the war. because our allies cannot fisht without food. Our ene nies are calculating that America will fail in this and our allies will need to gve In. America can upset those calcnlafons."
Mr. Hoover's ob.servations were made after three weeks' consultation with members of the British. French and Italian cabinets He also investi;:at»'d the food and shippins: -iiltiation and ^lans for Amer- i(-an co-operation. Tbe net r^-snlt he arrived at w-as that between now and the next harvest it would re¬ eiuire a supreme effort by th.- Amerit-an people
OF -I T.HOST GRATITY"
"I feel It my duty to em-ihaslzp." ^II•. Hoover continued, "that the food situation is one of the ut¬ in civilization. t is .wived, may possibly result in the collap.se of everything we hold dear most gravity, which, unless 1 • '
"The total Kto<'k of food to-day availahle in the allied world is simply not sufflcient to last till September If America contln'ies its present rate of consumption. We are now face fo face with the re- .milt of last year's poor harvest, the diversion of man-power from agriculture all over the world, the nnavlling efftirts nf fhe Euront-an women to plant availahle fields fully, the isolation of Russia, the sink¬ ing of food ships and many other causes.
"Kngland, France and Italy are reducing consumption by drastic f!»*<n«<, '"• evm with all this re¬ duction they must have fro i ns elurlng thf next three months more than twice aa much food a should have exported normally or than we can send if we consume as usual.
"The only hope of providing the deficjencv is hy fhe eliminatoo of waste and actual and rigorous self- sacrifice on the part of the American people.

•'More than 70 per cent of American homes alreailv are pjaee-s of thrift, economy and a clean plate. In fhe remaining .30 per cent no one can deny that ili-re is profligate extravagance and waste.
