IN COMMENDATION OF
MISS All ENE BENTLEY
_
Speaking of the recent cai nival
given by the St. John’s Methodist and
Zion Baptist Churches of this city on
August 12 to 1!), inclusive, I feel that
too much cannot be said in favor of
the crowned queen on the evening of
August 10, in the person o' Miss
Aline Bentley, who will be the queen
until the next annual carnival. When
one merits honors then they should
be given the same. All nelsons in
terested will say that she is one of
our prospective great women, taking
the unlimited interest that she does
in church work ol a necessity make;
her most popular. The church could
not have selected a better person to
represent them, knowing as they did
that she would go to work like
little Troian.

m SAVED FOOD
FED THE ALLIES
Food Administrator Writes Presi
dent America Conserved 141,
000,000 Bushels Wheat.
CREDIT DUE TO WOMEN.
Meat and Fat Shipment* Increased by
844,600,000 Pound*
—
Conservation measures applied by
the American people enabled tbe Unit
ed States to ship to tbe Allied peoples
and to our own forces overseas 141,
; 000,ooo bushels of wheat and 844,600,
000 pounds of meat during tbe past
year, valued In all at $1,400,000,000.
This was accomplished in tbe face of a
serious food shortage In this country,
bespeaking tbe wholebeartedness and
! patriotism with which tbe American
people have met the food crisis abroad.
Food Administrator Hoover, in a let
ter to President Wilson, explains how
the situation was met. The voluntary
conservation program fostered by the
Food Administration enabled tbe piling
up of the millions of bushels of wheat
during 1917-18 m»d the shipment of
meat during 1917-18.
The total value of all food sbl|>
ments to Allied destinations amounted
to $1,400,000,000, all this food being
bought through or In collaboration
with tbe Food Administration. These
figures are all based on official reports
and represent food exports for the
harvest year that closed June 30, 1918.
The shipments of meats anil fats
(Including meat products, dairy prod
ucts, vegetable oil*, etc.,) to Allied des
tinations were ns follows:
Fiscal year 1916-17... .2.160,500.000 lbs.
Fiscal year 1917-18.. ..3.011,100,000 lbs.
Increase . 844.600.000 lbs.
Our slaughterable animals at the be
ginning of the last fiscal year were not
appreciably larger than tbe year be
fore and particularly in hogs; they
were probably less. Tbe Increase in
shipments Is due to conservation and
the extra weight of animals added by
our farmers.
The full effect of these efforts began
to bear their best results In the last
half of the lisenl year, when tbe ex
ports to tbe Allies were 2,133,100,000
pounds, ns against 1.206,000,000 pounds
In the same period of the year before.
This compares with nn average of
8til IKK1O00 pounds of total exports for
tbe same half years In tbe three-year
pre-war period.
In cereals and cereal products re
duced to terms of cereal bushels our
Shipments to Allied destinations have
boon :
Fiscal year 1910-17..259.900.000 bushel*
Fiscal year 1917-18. .340,800,000 bushel*
Increase . 80,900,000 bushel*
Of these cereals our shipments of
the prime breadstuffs In the fiscal year
1917-18 to Allied destinations were:
Wheat 131,000,000 bushels and of rye
13.900.000 bushels, a total of 144,900,
000 bushels.
The exports to Allied destination!
during the fiscal year 1916-17 were:
Wheat 135,100.000 bushels and rye
2.300.000 bushels, a total of 137,400,000
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 ol
wheat will l»e therefore, about 141,000,
000 bushels, or a total of 154,900,000
bushels of prime breadstuffs. In : I
dltion to tills we hove shipped some
10.000. 000 bushels to neutrals depend
ent upon us, and we have received
some Imports front other quarters.
•This accomplishment of our people
In this matter stands out even more
clearly If we hear In mind that we had
available In the tiscal year 1916-17
from net carry-over and ns surplus
over our normal consumption about
200.000. 000 bushels of wheat which we
were able lo 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 hod available from net
■arry-over and production and Import*
only Just about our normal consutnp
Hon. Therefore our wheat shipment*
to Allied destinations represent ap
proxlmately savings from our own
wheat bread.
“These figures, however, do not fully
convey the volume of the effort and
sacrifice made during the past year
I b> tlie whole American people. I»o
i spite the magnificent effort of our agri
cultural population In planting a much
increased acreage In 1017, not only was
there a very large failure In wheat,
! but also the corn failed to mature prop
! erly, and our corn Is ottr dominant crop.
•| am sure." Mr. Hoover wrote in
i concluding hls report, “that all the
1 millions of our people, agricultural u*
well as urban, who have contributed
to these results should feel u very
definite satisfaction that In a year of
universal food shortages In the north
ern hemisphere all of those people
Joined together against Germany have
come through Into sight of the coming
harvest not only with wealth and
strength fully maintained, but with
•vnly temporary periods of hardship.
"It Is difficult to distinguish between
various sections of our people—the
homes, public eating places, fond
trades, urban or agricultural popula
tions—in assessing credit for the ,e re
sults, hut no one will deny the doml
unit part of the American women."
