summary
This poster issued by the United States Food Administration engages in moral exhortation, intimating to newly-naturalized citizens that the way to repay America for its welcome-mat, is by supporting the Allies in the war effort: "You Came Here to Find Freedom, Now You Must Help to Defend it. We Must Supply the Allies With Wheat. Do Not Let Anything Go to Waste."
