JOSEPH WAS WISE.
The wisdom of Joseph in providing
against the lean years, is cammended
to the people of Connecticut by Robert
Scovllle. Federal Food Administrlwr
for Connecticut. to View bf the large
wheat crop and the proalsing outlook
for an extraordinary y in of ' other
food supplies Mr. Scoville insists it be
hooves the people to continue the lim-
‘ltations on consumption and store up
Ifor the demands of the future, an un-
'precedented surplus. ' There is no
Justification. and can be none for sei-
fish indulgence in food, " says Mr. Sco-
ville. ‘lt will be time enough when
this war is over-41nd there is no rea-
,son to believe thatit will be over for
several years to come—to think about
changing our food habits. It is Amet _
ica's duty to feed Europe now, and
this duty will be even more important
as time goes on. America cannot eat
prodigiousiy as has been her habit
and retain either her own self-respect
or the good will of the Allies and oth
ers in Europe who are dependent upon
her production. .
