They must be brought to understand that in spite of this the federal food administration is determined to send abroad a great deal more, and that this must be made up by denying ourselves some at home. "Now then, the administration is go ing to export this wheat that is settled. We are asked to save it and deny ourselves in order to make up this exportable supply to teed the al lies and our soldiers abroad. If we don't deny ourselves and save it, it will be done for us. We cannot get away from it. The government must and will have this wheat to send abroad where it belongs at this time. "It has come to me that people are asking whether I practice what I preach. Well, I'll say that at our house we eat no white bread on wheatless day or any other day. That is how strictly I observe the rules.
