The increase in the monthly allot- ? ntent of sugar from 2 to 3 pounds per capita per month must not be taken as meaning that the conserva- i tion of food stuffs is not now fully as important as it was at the height i of the food shortage." declared Coun-i XX Food Administrator M. C. Pleas- \ ants to a,_Franklin Times reporter to- j day. Mr. Pleasanta continued. "While the sugar situation has im proved. largely due to the splendid aid of the American housewife in re ducing consumption, and also by the , availability of new domestic cane and i Ieet sugar. ?/?? ne? *r greater ex-' ports in otitr ti: as M no less ma 1 The United St a ?? j;t increase /?o! .ved exporM by one-half from a har vest no larger than last year's . The prominent part which the A merican woman has played in con serving sugar is best understood by a comparison of our consumption of sugar during the past four months with the consumption for a similar, period in normatt"ttmes. Normal con-' sumptions of sagar for the months of J^ly, August September and October was approximately 400,000 pounds, per month, or 4,600,000 pounds for j the four months. Following the ap peal for sugar conservation there was ' saved approximately 300.000 pounds 1 during that period of thiB year. Sev- i enty per cent of the sug&r consume* i In the United States is u4fed in the i home. j Last spring when we had only',2*.- , )00.000 bushels of wheat for export i above our normal requirements, the * American ~peopTe~made sacrifices by | saving that enabled fls to send 130,. ( u09,000 addil)'. rial bushels of wheat 1 OKldes the itormaj exportable sur plus.

They are making the supreme sacrifice, thoy are going West In a cause that is glor ious, they are dying as men. I had rather be a Sam Hoddic or Willie Ma con or any of the other boyB that are being killed or wounded on the blood soaked hills of France than to be ? slacker as some ire and walk the streets of Ixjuisburg. These meu will go down in history as not worthy of the name of a man, while Sam and Willi? ami the rest will go down in history as God's noblemen. There kre other ways of hoing a slacker than merely not going to the war, am I a slacker In not doing my duty at home, are you do ing yours. Today we are In the midst of a drive to raise money to sc ;ry thing in the way of comfoit mr won lifted boys. Aro we goin lot the love of money keep us from v ing to this noble cause? I for one *in not going to be a slacker in this and 1 know you are no* Let uh pile r;> an amount In Franklin County that will surprise every one. Our boys Urea are at stake, we m ist Respond.
