WWI in Texas
The Texas State Council of Defense was
established to cooperate with the National Council of
Defense. Some restrictions were placed on the
customary freedoms of speech and press. Each public
school was required to be equipped with a suitable
flag and to spend at least ten minutes a day in
teaching intelligent patriotism. "Give Till It Hurts," "Do
Your Bit," "Buy More Bonds," and other slogans found
a place in the popular mind.
WWI in Texas
Texans bought Liberty and Victory Bonds and
War Savings Stamps and contributed to the Red
Cross, Salvation Army, and other wartime
organizations. They also cooperated in the foodconservation program known as "Hooverizing,"
which included wheatless Mondays and
Wednesdays, meatless Tuesdays, and porkless
Thursdays and Saturdays; fat and sugar were to be
conserved every day. War gardens were planted,
and Texas farmers devoted new space to food
crops.
