TO BOOST SECOND
LIBERTY BOND SALE.
Food Administration Forces Will
Help Raise New Loan for
War Purposes.
SAVE FOOD AND LEND MONEY
Big Drive Throughout Nation Coming
Week Of October 21-2S-How All
Must Unite to Whip Kaiser
and Bring Peace Again.

WashingtOn-The food pledge cam
jaign is projected upon broad lines,
put it is very simple and very plain.
The food administration will mar
hal its whole force OF half million
ampaigncrs organized for food-pledge
week, to promote the second Liberty
oan. The week of October 21 to %
las been set for the big drive the FOOD
administration has planned to enroll
Ill American families for food con-
Servatlon The Liberty loan cam
paign will be at its height at the same
line. Herbert Hoover, the food ad-
ninistrator, in q message TO the 1ed'
raj food administrators, and cam
paign managers Of the food enrolment
campaign, instructing them to exert
every effort to promote the Liberty
oan. called this fortunate coincl-
lence, since both are aimed at the
same end and each will supplement the
other. The Liberty loan, he says, VIII

! to the allies, and the food pledge cam
paign is designed to make certain that
| there shall be food available to pur-
! chase.
So simple and so plain that they
have been stated in the compass OF
card-a card that 1t is proposed to
| hang In every home of the land-a
card that is the war creed of the
Kitchen" because, so closely are the
people in this country linked to the
world war, that one of the phases or
the struggle must be fought out in the
American kitchen.
II soldiers are to fight, they must
be fed. For the past three years, one
by one, our allies across the sea nave
been taking the men from the farm
and from the factory and sending them
to the firing line. Each man sent TO
the firing line meant one less who
could be relied upon to help produce
the food that twill win the war;"
If the laborer is worthy of his hire,
surely the fighter is worthy OF his
food. That is principle universally
accepted by the American public
However, il is not every product that

not serve the need; our allies have
never used it as food; they have no
mills to grind 1t; turn 1t into meal In
this country and 1t would spoil before
it could reach European port. There
are Just four classes Of products, the
experts say, that we must send to our
allies if our duty to them is to be dis
charged; they need meat, wheat, sugar
and dairy products. We can con.
serve our wheat by increasing our
consumption of other grains. We can
conserve our meat by making a great
er demand upon the resources OF the
fish market. All of these are expedi-
ents known to the American house
wife
If the United States were an auto
cratic country there would be no popu
lar appeal for the conservation OF
food. There would be an autocrat1
food control. The mailed fist would
rule in the kitchen. Imperial fooc
DEGREES would be enforced at the
point of the bayonet. But ours is not
an autocratic country. Food contro
is in the hands of the people them
selves. and 1t Is to the people thai
