FOOD CLUBS AN INDIANA IDEA

Five Thousand WOT Be Organ ized by Hoosier Women to Aid Nation in War. HOUSEWIVES TO CO-OPERATE First Branch Formed Near Rockport and Will be Known as Unittd States Food Club No. 1. (By Don Herold.) In your neighborhood there joon will be a United States food club. It may be No. 3 or No. 3333. Whatever its number, it will be one of about 5,000 such, clubs, which will cover every inch of Indiana before long. The purpose will be to make food do its part toward winning the war. "Great heavens!" you say, "another organization?" Yes, another organization. But wait. . This organization already has 400,000 members in Indiana, which is a pretty good nucleus with which to start. That many persons in the state signed the food saving pledge card during the food pledge campaign in November. Individually, each of them pledged himself or herself to help make food win the war. But wars aren't won by individual good will or individual effort. The food clubs which the food administration is forming will enable these 400,000 persons, mostly women, to get acquainted. They will help them to do work as a team. When 400,000 persons push together the same way the resultant force is noticeable. Incidentally, the food clubs will enable the 400,000, each representing a family, to learn the 300,000 families in Indiana who did not sign the tood saving pledge card. And that in itself is of some importance just at this time. If you signed the food pledge card you will automatically become a member of your neighborhood food club when it is formed, or if any member of your family signed the card your whole family will be entitled to membership in the club. If no one in youi family signed the card, the fact will be recorded on the books of your neighborhood food club, and dm efTor' probably will be raade k ascertain why. These food clubs are an Indiana idea. The food administration a' Washington seized on the plan and has recommended it to the othe states, and similar organizations al ready have been started" in perhaps i dozen states other than Indiana. Before long there will be, not a standing army, but a fighting army of food fighters throughout the United States representin"" practically every family in the coun::v. Get this fundamental fact into your head : That while food is a quie and prosaic and everyday thing, it is a far more effective agent in the winning of a war than all the bayonets on one side or the other or all the busiest of the busiest Berthas. That's a pretty hard thing for us to imagine over here. Hunger is slow and gnawing, and works from the inside out. Bullets are swift and noisy and cause the loss of brilliant red blood. So, as usual, we look at the jpectacular and get the habit of thinking of war in terms of steel. Wheat has won wars than steel. ' Thi e -uerman suDmarmes are not after boats, or even men. They do not care about boats, or care much about the men on the boats. The submarines are after food, The submarines are, primarily, starvation instruments. When the home fifes go out, soldiers at the front had just as well give up. Now the United States food administration, oti whose shoulders at this time rests practically the entire food problem of the world, does not propose to be content with "puttimg pieces in the paper" about the seriousness of the food situation and trusting the people to respond to the complex demands of the complex situation in any way their individual consciences happen to dictate. There is no doubt that the public means well. But response, now, must be quick, unified, consistent. It must be the same kind of response all over the United States, from every neighborhood. It must have punch. It must not be a hit-and-mis3 response, a today and tomorrow response, an "I will" and "I will think it over" response. It must "click," as they say in- the army. So the food clubs. By all means you must join and push in your neighborhood. The cltibs will be formed around schoolhouses and other central meeting places. It is expected that from 100 to 200 families will constitute each club. There proably will be monthly meetings. There will be a county president of clubs im each county (about six-ty of which hare already been appointed), township presidents, ward presidents, precjnet presidents and local club presidents. And each club will be divided into squads of fifteen members each, with a lieutenant for each squad. Communicating Organization!. .. The clubs will be, fundamentally, communicating organizations. They will constitute a gigantic and simplified grapevine telegraph wire over which Herbert Hoover, the United States food administrator, through H. E. Barnard, federal 'food administrator for Indianai through the va rious presidemtsV down through the

every family in Indiana almot over night. The first club in Indiaaa was formed the other day near Rockprt. It will be known as UniUd States Food Club No. 1. In territory it will cover, for th present, absut two square miles of Ohio township, in Spencer county, and the "clubhouse" will be the Silverdale schoolhouae, in which the charter will be hung. The first county president to be appointed in the new movement is Mrs. Howard S. Cottey, of Kokomo, who will head the clubs in Howard county. The food situLion changes, in some of its phases, very rapidly, and the food administration will often find it necessary to change its recommendations quickly. Just a few days ago it was decided that it would be wise to eliminate "porkless Saturday," and the one-meatless-meal-a-day rule and reduce the meat conservation program to "meatless Tuesday." On account of the success of the meat conservation program and because of certain transportation conditions the storehouses we becoming temporarily overfilled with meat. At the same time the wheat shortage was becoming more acute. So the food administration said, "virtually, "Eat a little more meat and sare still further on wheat." Some day the word must be passed around again to go back to a stricter program of meat saving. Through the food clubs such hints may be given without loss of time, and given in such a way as to insure an immediate and universal response. The food administration has many pamphlets, leaflets, roceipts and conservation circulars to pass out, and all these will be distributed to members of the food clubs. At the monthly; meetings, demonstrations will be given of best ways to prepare foods that are plentiful .and save foods thA are. scarce, neighbors will exchange conservation receipts and ideas, slackers will be dragged out into the limelight, store keepers and restaurant keepers wh shw unpatriotic tendencies will he discussed, profiteers will "get tta' patriotic gardens will be encouraged; papery from the national aad state and county food administrators win be rad, patriotic lecturers will speak, a questi.o box will 'be conducted, and ways and means .to further production and conservation will he thrashed out. The clübs may serve as a labor exchange, and perhaps later, even as a produce exehange. City and jural clubs may co-operate in this respect. A spirit of battle and f standing together will be put' into every club, "Fight, with food" will he- th slogan. Slackers will be lined up r scorched. GarmanMill be out-Germanied here in effectiveness and solidarity of organization. Joining your meighborh'ood food club is just one of th patriotic things there are to do, it is truo (joining and pushing), but it is one thing that you should positively not neglect fro do. For "food will win tht

war 1 Great Wheat Stocks Isolated. It's the shortage in ships that -is putting the allies and the United States on wheat rations. Great stocks of wheat are isolated in India and Australia. At great sacrifice in ship space and use the aHies are forced to secure some wheat from Argentina. On January 1 Australia had stored 100,000,000 bushels of wheat that was ready for exportbut there were no ships. Then came the new crop with an exportable surplus of 80,000,000 bushels. Now Australia has approximately 180,000,600 bushels waiting for ships. India, at the same time, had 7,000,000 bushels of wheat stored for export. During April 50,000,000 bushels more out of the new crop will be added to the pile. It is not a problem that the wheat does not exist in the world it is entirely a problem of shipping, which has thrown on America the obligation of dividing our stock with the allies. ALLIED FOOD SHIPMENTS REACH LARGE TOTAL. A general idea of the quantity of food sent to European allies by the United States from July 1, 1914, to January 1, 1918, is given by figures just announced by the U. S. Food Administration. In that period the Uni.ted States has furnished complete yearly rations for 57100,933 people. In addition there was enough extra protein to supply this portion of the dier. for 22,194,570 additional men. The total export of wheat and wheat flour to the three principal allies is equivalent to about 284,000,000 bushels Pork exports for tht three and one-half years amounted to almost 2,000,000,000 pounds. Exports of fresh beef totaled 443,484,400 pounds. The amount of food exported to Russia is negligible comparod with that sent to the western allies. o .t.
