EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful and poignant poster from 1917, encouraging Americans to make a significant contribution to the war effort by conserving wheat and eating oatmeal and corn meal mush instead. The image features a young boy in military attire, saluting a bowl of simple, hearty food - a symbol of the patriotic sacrifice being made by individuals on the home front. The poster's text emphasizes the importance of every American doing their part to support the war effort. By saving wheat for the soldiers, who needed it to make their own rations, and consuming oatmeal and corn meal mush instead, civilians could make a tangible difference. The call to "leave nothing on your plate" underscores the urgency of the situation and the collective responsibility to ensure that resources were being used wisely. The poster's design is striking and evocative, with its bold typography and the image of the young boy, who embodies the spirit of determination and sacrifice. It is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by Americans during World War I, and the importance of each individual's role in the larger war effort. The poster serves as a testament to the power of visual communication in inspiring and mobilizing people during times of crisis.
