PROVED SPIRIT OF DEMOCRACY Voluntary Basis of Food Saving Showed Heart of America Beat True for Freedom. To tho voluntary aorvlce and sacri fice of the American people muat be attributed the . continued health, atrength and morale of the Allied ar ■nlea and the civil populace. Upon thl» spirit of service and sac rlflce will depend Kurope'a fate In the months to come. In the pant year we have carried out an export program, the magnitude of which la be yond comprehension. But with the new demand* that have come, with the liberation of natlona freed from German oppreaalon, our exports muat be almost doubled. Instead of 11,820,- 000 ton*, we muat ahlp twenty million tona of food to Europe in the coming year—us much as can be pushed through our porta. If the, Alllea had not been fed by America, It would have l>een linpos albte for them to maintain their de fense against Germany. Meeting this world need on a purely voluntary basis, thA American people have conclusively proved that democ racy la a succeiM ann that In time of need It will rise to Ita own defenae. If thero wero no other accompllah moot to Ita credit the very fact that It haa shown the atrength of democracy haa In Itself more than Justified the existence of the Food Administration In the eyes of the world. Less than four months after the United States declared war the United States Food Administrator expressed his determination to meet Amerlca'a food problem on a basis of voluntary action and reiterated hifa confidence that awokened democracy would prove Irresistible. "Many thinking Americans," said Mr. Hoover, "and the whole world have been watching anxiously the last four months In the fear that demo cratic America could not organize to meet autocratic Germany. Germany tms been confident that It could not he done. Contrary proof la Immediately •t our door, and our people liavo al ready demonstrated their ability to mobilise, organise, endure and prepare voluntarily and efficiently In many di rections and upon the mere word of Inspiration aside from the remarkable aaaeablace of our Army and finances." The history of the Food Administra tion has clearly shown that the trust of thoae who put their faith In democ racy baa not been misplaced. • senso of voluntary sulf-sacrifice as In America—that waa shown in the abstinence from wheat Find mora wheat It came; more pork. It came • save sugar, Jt waa done. 80 Americans answered the challenge of German starvation. Good will rules the new world as fear governed the old world. Through •baring food America helps make the whole world kin. Food control made sufficiency from shortage, kept the rein on food price*, gave the nation's full stien|t)i exer> SHE KEPT THEM ON THE JOB SAVE 16.000,000 BUSHELS OF WHEAT THAT FORMERLY WAS LOST IN THRESHING Farmers, Urged by Food Administra tion, Provide Seven Extra Loaves of Bread for Every American. I By adopting cleaner threshing meth- j ods and by literally combing harvest ! fields to gather grain formerly wast ed, threshcrincn and farmers of the ' United Htates this year saved fully j 10,000,000 buskela of wheat, estimated I aa equivalent to about seven one-pound i loaves of bread for every person In the country. This result, accompanied ' by corresponding anvlngs of barley, 1 oats, rye and other grains, Is ahown by | reports from 33 grain states to the IT. 8. Food AdinlnlatFatlon. Other states, although not prepared to furnish defi nite figures of conaervatlon In the grain fields, report greatly reduced harvest losses. This rural food saving achievement, accomplished In scarcely nix months' time, was In direct response lo re quests by the Kood Administration, which asked farmer* and thrcslieanien > to reduce harvest losses from About' 6% per cent. —the estimated average j In normal times—to the lowest possl-j ble minimum. Country grain thresh ing committee* carried Into every grain growing community the' official recommendations for accomplishing the results desired. In numerous Instance* driver* of reeks with leaky bottom* were sent from the fields to repair their equip ment ami frequently had order thresh ing mnrhlnes were stopped until the cause of waste was removed. But In proportion to the number of person* engaged In gathering the nation's grain I crop, eases of compulsion were com- I pare tiwly rare. The Food Adminis tration freely attribute* the success of | the grain threshing campaign to ! trtotlc aenrlee by farmers, thresher i men a.MI their crewa. Incidentally | grain growers of the United States are ; many million* of dollar* "In pocket" j aa a result of the grain saved. NO ONE SUFFERED HERE. | The marvel of onr voluntary food saving, now that we are "getting re | suits," Is that no one ever actually suffered any hardship from It; that we all are better In liealtn and aplrlt and better satisfied with ourselves be cause of our friendly self-denial. Kood control In America held the price of broadstuffs steady, prevented I vicious speculation and extortion and preserved tranquillity at home, „■ BUY WAR 8 A VINO STAMPS THE RED CROBB ROLL CALL When "the greatest mother In the world" calls the roll the week of December 16-28 the hope of the American Red Cross Is that the ahswer for th* entire American people will be: "AH present, or accounted for." It will be the occasion for 22.000,000 adults and 8,000,000 children to renew their member ship and for all others td Join. One happy slogan of the roll call announces that "all you need Is a heart and a dollar." Why does the Red Cross at Christmas conduct a member ship campaign? liecause It unites the people In an Intimate way with the organization they have supported so magnificently. In other countries one of the most Impressive things about the American Red Crosa Is the size of Its membership, attesting truly popular approval. This Christmas, "* when our country Is out of the deep waters of the war, every dollar paid for an annual membership In the Red Cross will be a direct Chrlstmaa gift to our land, air and sea force* and to those who have felt the sting of war In a way that we In this country have not experienced. The min istrations of the lted Cross will be as good a substitute for Christmas at home as can be furnished under the circum stance*. The women of America, see- Ing In th* lted Cross an exten sion upon a universal scale of the mothering Instinct, will be quick to answer "Here" to the roll call, because service and sacrifice are womanly qualities and they are Red Croaa quali ties.

CANTEEN AT FRONT FOR AMERICANS MEN" American flying men In France are to receive special attention from the American Red Cross as the result of a request for such service that has been received from Genera! Patrick, Chief of the Air Service. Because of the necessity of keeping aviators over seas In the very best mental and physical condition for their hazardous work officials of the aviation branch of the service have long felt they should have more comforts and opportunities for relaxation than are provided by the ordinary canteen. In compliance with the request the lied Cross Is establishing special com bination mess and recreation canteens at all points In France where our avi ators, either students or officers, are stationed. Extra comforts and atten tion will be provided for our "bird men" at these canteens. They will be -•presided over by American women of Intelligence and cheerful personality, whose chief duty will be to create as much home atmosphere aa possible In the circumstances. The American Red Cross Is to have oole charge of these aviation canteens. ASK THE SOLDIERS. That the soldiers, sailors and ma rines ure deeply appreciative of the canteen service of the American Red Cross Is given ample evidence many times every day. The keynote of their appreciation la perhaps beat expressed on the post cards which they send to the "folks back home" when en route to potnta of embarkation. From a j dozen picked op at random the follow. | Ing sentiments were taken and "speak for themselves:'* •, "Red Cross are sure treating as great en route." "Red Croaa are sura making It happy for ns.'* "Support Red Crass In everything." "For Cod's sake never say 'No' to the Red Cross. They're wonderful." I "Long live the Red Cross." "The Red Cross are angels to us the way they treat us." "Canteen service 100 per cent In Toledo; fifteen carloads of ua well taken care of." "Red Crosa serving coffee. Oh, they do so much for us I" "Do all you can for Red Croaa —they j do so much for ua."
