When called to ctive duty shortly he will be sent > an aviation school to be given the pportunity to win a commission in le airplane department. The departure will undoubtedly e quite a shock to the beautiful iris of Abbeville. In fact, Chief uartermaster Swope does not see ow they will be able to endure it. owever, he especially requests, irough the Medium of. The Press nd Banner, that none of the girls at on mourrfing for yet a while. It is expected that a large deleation of the fair sex will bid him jodbye at the depot with tears and ghs of farewell. While this is not leant to be a hint for anything, le Chief Quartermaster wants it > be known that his favorite brand E cigars is that known as Little oucos. though he does need a rist watch.

' j a ? ! Conservation measures applied by j the American people enabled the Unit- JI ed States to ship to the Allied peoples [| and to our own forces overseas 141,- j 000,000 bushels of wheat and 844,000,- lj 000 pounds of meat during the past . year, valued In all at $1,400,000,000. J | This was accomplished in the face of a I serious food shortage In this country, jj bespeaking the wholeheartedness andij patriotism with which the American jj people have met the food crisis abroad, j I Food Administrator Hoover, in a let-1 j ter to President Wilson, explains howl" the situation was met The voluntary! conservation program rosterea ny tne i Food Administration enabled the piling j j up of the millions of bushels of wheat'? during 1917-18 and the shipment oi' J meat during 1917-18. #The total value of all food ship- j meats to Allied destinations amounted J to $1,400,000,000, all this food being j bought through or In collaboration with the Food Administration. These figures are all based on official report! I and represent food exports for the | harvest year that closed June 80, 1918.' The shipments of meats and fats (Including meat products, dairy prod-11 acts, vegetable oils, etc.,) to Allied des- ] i tlnatlons were as follows: j Fiscal year 1916-17... .2,166,500,000 lbs. j i Fiscal year 1917^18....8,011,100,000lbs.1 ll Increase 844,600,000 lbs. j Our slaughterable animals at the be-1 j ginning of the last fiscal year were not j appreciably larger than the year be-1) fore and particularly In hogs; they j were probably less. The Increase in;j shipments Is due to conservation and : < the extra weight of animals added by j { our farmers. The full effect of these efforts began' j tViotn hoot roanlfa fn thn Inst i I IV UCttl UiVli wv?%i ; j half of the fiscal year, when the ex-j | ports to the Allies were 2,138,100,000 | I pounds, as against 1,268,500,000 pounds1j i In the same period of the year before. > ThIs#compares with an average of J 801,000,000 pounds of total exports for J I the same half years In the three-year j pre-war period. In cereals and cereal products re-j j duced to terms of cereal bushels our shipments to Allied destinations have j | been: j Fiscal year 1916-17.. 259,900,000 bushels I Fiscal year 1917-18..840 7,00,000 bushels Increase SO.fAX),000 bushels Of these cereals our shipments of the prime breadstuffs in the fiscal year' 1917-18 to Allied destinations were.*; I Wheat 131,000,000 bushels and of ryej | 18,900,000 bushels, a total of 144,900,-! 000 bushels. The exports to Allied destinations during the fiscal year 1916-17 were: j Whnof 13*i10n<VW"l hnsholq anH rvfl : 2,300,000 bushels, a total of 137,400,000 j bushels. In addition some 10,000,000; bushels of 1917 wheat are now In port for Allied destinations or en route thereto. The total shipments to Allied countries from our last harvest of wheat will be therefore, about 141,000,000 bushels, or a total of 154,000,000 bushels of prime breadstuffs. In addition to this we have shipped some 10,000,000 bushels to neutrals dependent '"upon us, ^nd we have received; some Imports from other quarters. "This accomplishment of our people : In this matter stands out even more clearly If we bear in mind that we had j available In the fiscal year 1916-17 j from net carry-over and as surplus, over our normal consumption about 200,000,000 bushels of wheat which w? were able to export that year without trenching on our home loaf," Mr. Hoover said. "This last year, however, owing to the large failure of the 1917 wheat crop, we had available from net carry-over and production and Imports only Just about our normal consump lion, -mererore our wneai snipmems to Allied destinations represent approximately savings from our own wheat bread. "These figures, however, do not fully convey the volume of the effort and sacrifice mad* during the past year by the whole American people. Despite the magnificent effort of our agricultural population In planting a much Increased acreage In 1917, not only was i there a very large failure In wheat, but also the corn failed to mature prop- . erly, and our corn Is our dominant crop. "I am sure," Mr. Hoover wrote In J! concluding his report, "that all the ] millions of our people, agrlcaltural as ; well as urban, who have contributed to these results should feel a very j1 definite satisfaction that In a year of universal food shortages in the north* . era hemisphere all of those neonl* joined together against Germany have . coma through Into Bight of the coming harvest not only with wealth and strength fully maintained, but with only temporary periods of hardship. It Is difficult to distinguish between arlous sections of our people?the 1 homes, public estlng places, food tradea, urban or agricultural popula- tlons?In assessing credit for these rs> suits, but no one will deny the d#iiS> , Mat part of the American women." |znuiiiiiiii^^ II E? 1 - 13 VJU!
