Before he finished col lege he had worked in the field with TTnOod np-iingrieal Survey | and after his graduation he spent » '•/ear with the survey in the Sierra Ne vada mountains. The opening of the world war found Mr. Hoovef in London and his first re- Mef work in connection with the war was in set*ing up a committee to fur- <uish gold to Americans caught abroad *vUh credits smashed and transpor tation difficult. The American Relief Commission with Mr. Hoover as chair man, functioned until stranded Ameri cans had moved homeward. Within a short time Mr. Hoover was able to ♦urn again to the direction of his min- '•no- interests at his office in London. Within a month, however, he was to be called to a relief work on a scale hH*’«rfo undreamed of. “Food will win the war.” was his Hrst message to the American peonle. blazoned in electric lights and on bill boards from Broadwav to the remot est vll’ace in the land. It was fol lowed with an appeal to the American housewife to save food and the farm ers produce more than ever before. The campaign succeeded so well that America not onlv was able to feed P- self and its armies but to afd ite Al- Mes as well. This voluntary ration ing of the nation came to be rearded bv America’s associates in the war as one of the chief contributions of *he United States to the defeat of the Central powers.

Your Ford THE UNIVERSAL CAR Sixteen Years Experience For sixteen years, a corps of metallurgists have been studying and constantly per fecting the steel that goes into every part of the Ford car and the Ford One Ton Truck. Each separate part has been studied to learn the type of steel best fitted for It. Parts receiving constant surface-wear are made of hard, flint-like metal; parts sub jected to great vibration or resilience are made of softer, springy steel. Every part is made according to its use—that is, every Genuine Ford part is. But there are also counterfeit “Ford” parts. These imitations are made by con- rerns in no way connected with the Ford Motor Company and retailed as sidelines by mail-order houses, down-town stores, and many garages. The unsuspecting customer iccepts them because they are called “Ford” parts. To make sure of getting the gen uine Ford-made parts, buy them only from Authorized Ford Dealers Likewise bring or take your Ford car to our garage for repairs, replacements, and general “tuning up.” • *4 We are Authorized Ford dealers. We can supply you with all Ford parts for either passenger car or truck. And our shop is equipped to give real Ford service in all repair work. Crowell & Co. Florence, S. C.
