The poster's title asks viewers directly, "Will You Help the Women of France?", and then gives its instruction in two words: "Save Wheat." That plea reflects the First World War, when fighting had torn up much of France's farmland and left its population short of bread. The U.S. Food Administration, led by Herbert Hoover, urged American households to cut back on wheat so that more grain could be shipped to Allied countries. Wartime posters like this one carried that message into homes, shops, and farms, and it is a useful reminder of how closely food supply and farm work were tied to the war effort.
