THE CLEVELAND LEADER
ARE YOU YOUR
BROTHER’S KEEPER?
Throughout Oklahoma thousands of
% rvice flags hang proudly in the
windows of modest homes.
'i'ln y tell a story no words are cap-
able of expressing.
On i he breasts of thousands o^
men and women of Oklahoma, near-
est the hearts of the wearers, are to
be seen tho. e budges of honor—tho
service stars.
"Over there." as well as in the nu-
merous training camps over here, Ok-
lunoma fathers. Drothers and sons by,
the thousands are today tace to faca
with a deep realization of what their
country rta dly stands for, what it
means to stand shoulder to shoulder;
what it ni"ans to have co-operation.
Kvery one of them are for President
Wilson to the limit.
Kvery one of them would, were he
here today, assume a non political at-
titude in the present campaign.
Kvery one of them would deci de in
favor of setting the President free by
plac'ug about him ro-workers in strict
harmony with administrative ideas of
conducting the war.
There is a way for the mother,
father, and brother of the absent Ok-
lahomans to represent those absents
s; to perform a patriotic duty; to
stand as tb; ir personal representa-
tive; to voice their sentiments. It
means more than a display of the ser-
vice star or flag.
This duty involves a patriotic ap-
proval of \V Ison and what he stands
for.
This duty e.ul.rnc's a cordial, eni-
phatie Mpport of th> c who stand forj
the Adnntrstrat ion and its war plans.
Then* is a Governor to elect this
fall. I pou his shoulders will fall the
responsibility of Oklahoma's partici-
pation in the groat war.
There nr • eight members of Con-
^ri- and a United Stales Senator to
s> nd to Washington to represent Ok-
lahoma an I Oklahoma ideas.
It is at be t a duty every Oklahoma
family who is represented at the front
owes to the Pt< ident to back up the
boys by doing wi at thpy would do if
here: Stand together as one in hearty
approval of the Administration's pro-
gram.
That means the election of Demo-,
crats who will work with Wilton.
P means the defeat of Republicans
who would criticise, retard or pmba-.
ldy defeat the President’s wishes at a
critical moment.
After all we are our brother's keep-
er. We have a duty to him to per-,
form.
PRESIDENT WILSON IS
BACKING NATION’S FIGHT
AGAINST TUBERCULOSIS
President Wilson, while busy
w.th the miny duties attendant on
pi •( <* i| Pi rations which have fol-
low'd the end of the great world!
war bus not overlooked the import
unco of the nation's fight against
that ureli enemy of mankind—tu-
berculosis. The chief executive
s inis up his Interest In the cause
in the following paragraph:
"It is a cause in which the
whole nation, should be. end I
believe ie, Interested. It ie
certainly one which ie, in the
view of every thoughtful per-
son, of the most serious conse-
quence to the whole country."
America’s Pledge of Food

PROVED SPIRIT
OF DEMOCRACY
Voluntary Basis of Food Saving
Showed Heart of America
Beat True for Freedom.
To the voluntary service nnd sacri-
fice of the American people must be
attributed the continued health,
strength and morale of the Allied ar-
mies and the civil populace.
Ujam this spirit of service and sac-
rifice will depend Europe’s fate in the
months to come. In the past year we
have curried out an export program,
the magnitude of which is almost be-
yond comprehension. Hut with the
new demands thut have come, with
the liberation of nations freed from
(Jeriiuui oppression, our eximrts must
be almost doubled. Instead of 11,820,-
000 tons, we must ship twenty million
tons of food to Europe ir. the coming
year—as much us cau he pushed
through our ports.
if the Allies had not been fed by
America, It would have been impos-
sible for them to muiutuin their de-
fense against Germany.
Meeting lids world need on a purely
voluntary basis, the American people
have conclusively proved that democ-
racy Is a success ano that in time of
ue«*d It will rise to lis own defense.
If there were no other accomplish-
ment to its credit the very fact that it
has shown the strength of democracy
has in itself more than Justified the
existence of the Food Administration
in the eyes of the world.
Less than four months nfler the
United States declared war the United
States Loud Administrator expressed
his determination to meet America's
food problem on n basis of voluntary
action and reiterated his confidence
that awakened democracy would prove
Irresistible.
"Many thinking Americans,” snld
Mr. Hoover, “anil the whole world
have been watching anxiously the last
four months in the fear that demo-
cratic America could not organize to
meet autocratic Germany. Germany
has been confident thut It could not he
done. Contrary proof Is Immediately
at our door, and our people have ul
ready demonstrated their ability to
mobilize, organize, endure and prepare
voluntarily and efficiently In many ill
ructions and upon the mere word of
inspiration aside from the renuirknhlu
assemblage of our Army and finances.'
The history of the Food Administra-
tion has clearly shown that the trust
of those who put their faith In democ-
racy lias not been misplaced.
MEAT PRODUCERS
DID FULL DUTY
increase in American Hogs Wilt
Help to Meet World Fat
Shortage.
FARMERS SAVE SITUATION.
Government Justified In Stimulation
•f Pork Production—Sevenfold
Increase Over Pre-
War Exports.
1
Through Increased production nnd
conservation we will he aide this year
to ex|sirt seven limes our pre-war
average exports of pork products.
With the heavy demands added in cur-
ing for the millions who have been
freed from German oppression, the
[tepnrttneht of Agriculture and the
I'ood Administration lire Justified to-
ila.v in our every action of stimulation
if ling production. In the coming year
the greatest world shortage will lie In
inis, and (Mirk will help to save this
situation. The eihraey of the policy
,*f stimulated production has built up
11 this country supplies.which will en-
core* us to rr-.jj;rj a very largr part ot
Ihe fat deficiency of the world. In
beef there must be u shortage In Ku-
lope. due largely to limited refrigera-
tor ship capacity. All freezer ships
readable, however, will be (llled by
America. Argentine and Australia.
The contribution made by the pro-
ducers of tills country to the war pro-
I ram us applying particularly to ani-
mal food products ia illustrated by the
following:
Reports compiled hy the 0. 8. De-
partment of Agriculture Indicate an
luercuse In cattle of 10,238,000 head
gnd 12,441,000 hogs. Those figures
were compiled lo January 1 lust.
In this period there wua a decrease
la sheep of 810.000 lieud. The Indica-
tions are thut this decrease will show
an Increase, according to recent re-
ports.
Since January I unofficial informa-
tion Indicates an increase in hogs of
not less than 8 per cent and not
piore than 15 per cent as compared
with one year ago, with an Increase iu
the average weight.
Following the request of the D. 8.
Food Administration for an Increase
In hog production for marketing In tlie
fall of 1018 nnd the spring of 1010 the
Increase may yield not less than 1,000,-
1)00,000 pounds more of pork products
than were available Inst year. With-
out this Increase the shipping program
arranged by Mr. Hoover regarding an-
uiul food products would have bccu
impossible.
The dressed hog products during the
three months ending September 30,
J017, amounted to 1)03,172,000 pounds,
while for the corresponding months of
J918 the dressed hog products totaled
5.277.5SO.OOO, an Increase of over 374,-
000,000 pounds for the quarter.
During the same period for 1917 the
records of Inspected slaughter of
dressed beef showed 1,263,000.000
pounds as against 1,454,000,000 pounds
for the three month period ending
September 1, this year.
