"Thi women of the kitchens of
America waste $700,000,000 worth of
food products in a year, according to
expert statisticians: and tne larmers
of the land allow $1,000,000,000 worth
of manure ioygo to waste annually,"
said Carl S. Vrooman, assistant sec
retary of agriculture, in his address
at the opening of the Nebraska Food
Conservation conference at tne
Omaha Auditorium last nigljt.
Chancellor Samuel Avery of the
University of Nebraska presided.
' Governor Neville stated the purpose
of the conference, and declared he
hoped definite committees would be
appointed to furnish ready sources
of information at all times for the
State Defense Cduncil.
Mayor Dahlman welcomed the
delegates to Omaha and announced
that the purpose of the conference
is to develop the brain, energy and
thought of the people of Nebraska
to help win the great war in the
cause of world democracy.
Right to Regulate Prices. -
George Coupland, member of the
executive committee of the State
Council for Defense, declared it is
ethically just and economically
proven proper to regulate tne pricesJ
of food products, and urged that the
federal government do this as soon
as possible to get price control out
ot the nanus ot manipulators ana
speculators. V. J. Taylor of Jfcrna,
MK h,nir mpmhcr nf ihp legis
lature and grain man, held the high
price of foods to be the natural re
sult of the movement from thearms
to the cities and declared the high
price of foods is not the fault of
anvthing the fanner has done.
More than 3,500 people, a majority
of them delegates to the conference,
heard the speeches. Secretary Vroo
man was held for the last number on
the program. Though it was after 10
o'clock when he began, the crowd sat
motionless throughout the address of
this government official, who brought
a serious, straightforward message
from Washington.
When he had disensesd waste, the
lessons England and France have
learned, the need for soldiers and
money to buy the $7,000,000,000 "LibJ
erty" loan bonds, he concluded by
saying:
"Be a Man."
"If you haven't done anything yet;
if you haven't enlisted, or bought a
bond, or done anything else for the
cause, then go home tonight, throw
vourself on your knees and pray AU
mighty God to give you strength tj
get up in the morning and be a man."
Earlier in his talk he reviewed the
troubles of the allies and the lessons
they learned of the need of food, the
need of quantities of ammunition, the
need of training fighting men, and the
gradual readjustment necessary in
dustrially for two years to make Eng
land an effective fighting machine.
"And then," he said, "when it had
done all this, she came face to face
with the great world-old, primeval(
problem, the problem of mankind to
.feed itself. Thus this became a food
war, with famine fighting on every
battle front. We hardly realize yet
what this war means to us.
"Slowly, but surely, wc are going to
get the sleep rubbed out of our eyes
and begin to see the situation as it is.
When they begin to send our boys
back in little pine boxes we will just
begin to awaken.
Must Realize Situation. '
' "When we find it necessary to put
5,000,000 more men into the trenches,
as we will if Russia should go to
pieces, then we will begin to realize
the seriousness of the situation,
"We cannot send an army of any
consequence over there in. less than
nme months. We cannot get a real
big army equipped and trained in less
than a year. We are going to send
one division, to be sure, for moral ef
fect, but there it will end.
"But when we decided to make the
$7,000,000,000 loan, we served notice
on mankind that we had underwritten

the trenches. Some of us are not of
an age to go. But we can at least buy

who does not buy one of these bonds,

Famine a Great Enemy.
"The thine for us to do is to meet
the great enemy, iamtne.
There
isn t a nation m Europe today that
can feed itself. If we dont raise
much more food than ever be
fore, more people will starve
throughout the world than have been
killed thus far in battle.

said, the farmer works hard, and can
not he asked to work much harder in
an effort to produce. But there is one
thing he can do. He can farm a little'
more scientifically. He can reduce the !
waste on the farm. Waste is our na
tional vice.
Much Food Wasted.
"It extends fronj the farmer right
through all classes. We talk about it
and grow eloquent in denounc
ing it at times, but deep down
we have a sneaking pride in our
wasting what others need. There are
$700,000,000 worth of food products
wasted in the American kitchens; and
the farmers waste $1,000,000,000 worth
of barnyard manure in a year.
"The average American wants not
only enough to eat on his table, but
he wants enough to bathe in. He
likes to look at it. In times of peace
this is bad enough, for there are
always some in the world who are
hungry, but in times like these, such
waste is despicable and disloyal.
"Today wc mill 72 per cent of the
wheat berry into human food, while
the rest is made into food for ani
mals. In Europe they mill 80 per cent
of it Into human food, and besides
they mix with it, rye, flour, oat flour,
and other nutritious grain meals.
"I am not a prophet, but I feci safe
in saying that we will be doing the
same thing before the year is over,
for theite isn't gbing to be wheat

the rice white, although this brown

if congress gives us power, is to guar
antee the farmer a minimum price,
and then fix a maximum price which

kaiser and are disloyal to every Amer

Prof. Pugsley Says State is Be
ing Praised for the Way
it is Meeting War
Problems.
' High praise for Nebraska's initial
moves in meeting problems arising
from the war was expressed by Prof.
C. W.' Pugsley, director of the agri
cultural extension service of the Uni
versity of Nebraska. He has just re
turned from a week's visit to Wash
ington, D. C, to take up matters re
lating to regular extension work and
to the war emergency.
"I am proud of the way Nebraska
and other middle west states are
iroing at things," declared Prof. Pugs
ley. "They haven't said much, but
they are certainly making a bigger
showing than eastern states. This is
true of farm and town folks, an 1
especially in the utilization of back
yards and vacant lots."
Among other things, Prof. Pugsley
presented to the agricultural commit
tee and to members of congress the
views of Nebraska farmers on the
revenue and food bills. These opin
ions were formulated at a conference
of representatives of farmers' organ
izations in the state, called by Prof.
Pugsley shortly before his departure
for Washington.
Approve Farmers' Views.
"The farmers of Nebraska' are
anxious to do their ,part in meeting
the expense of the war. as well as
in increasing food production," said
he. ''They feel (as expressed by their
representatives at this conference),
that it may be necessary.if the war
continues long, to fix maximum and
minimum prices not only of th
things the farmer sells, but of the
train your hair as
an Actress does .
No class of people devotes as much
time to beauty as do actresses, and no
class must be more careful to retain
and develop their charms. Inquiry
develops the information that in hair
care they find it dangerous to sham
poo with any makeshift hair cleanser.
The majority say that to have the best
hair wash and scalp stimulator at ,a
cost of about three cents, one need
only get a package of canthrox from
your druggist, dissolve a teaspoonful
in a cup of hot water and your shamr
poo is ready. This makes enough
shampoo liquid to apply it to all the
hair instead of just the top of the
hcad.t After its use the hair dries
rapidly, with uniform color. Dand
ruff, excess oil and dirt are quickly
dissolved and entirely disappear when
you rinse ..the hair. After this your
hair will be so fluffy that it will look
much heavier than it is. Its lustre
and softness will also delight you,
while the stimulated scalp gains the
health which insures hair growth.

The great Nebraska corn and wheat
crops, to say nothing of other big
crops produced in this state, are
threatened by a shortage of farm ma
chinery, according to members of the
farm machinery committee of the
food congress, which met at the Com
mercial club during the morning. The
committee decided to take steps to
arouse the farmers of the state and
to ask them to raise such a "row"
over the matter that the federal gov
ernment will take action to see that
machinery manufacturers are supplied
with sufficient steel with which to
build at least as much machinery this
year as during last year. Frank Haf
ler of Omaha is chairman of the com
mittee and L. S. Chase of Lincoln
secretary.
High Prices Solve Problem.
How the prices of grain and live
stock have solved the "back to the
soil" problem was brought out at the
meeting, at which it was shown that
hundreds of young men, fresh from
the universities and colleges, had
found they could make more money
by going to the farms than they could
by entering offices in the cities. '
