$500 ADDITION TO
DORCAS HOME
Contract Let and Part of Money Ap-
propriated or Subscribed.

The Dorcas Home board has award
ed the B. j. Angus the contract for
building the addition to the home,
made necessary by the greatly in
creased demands. The addition will
be 1SX36 feet, two stories high, and
will conform to the balance of the
building in style and appearance.
The cost of the addition will ap-
proXimate $500. To this fund the
board of supervisors appropriated
from the county the sum of $500. A
M. Bentley has contributed $3.50, a
supervisor gave $25, and other vol
untary offerings leave the amount yet
to be raised about $400. This sum
the board hopes to receive from citi-
zens in amounts varying according to
to ability.
All checks should be made out to
Mrs. c. V. Page, financial secretary.
Mrs. L. L. Conn, president, or AL
bert L. Northway, chairman of the
building committee, will be glad to
receive voluntary subscriptions.
The splendid work done by the
Dorcas Home was seemingly never
more appreciated than at present,
nor was the need for more adequate
facilities more apparent. The full
capacity of the home has been over
run and 25 children have been cared
for. During the month of April the
managers were compelled to refuse
admission to 35 children for want of
room. What will result from the con-
ditions brought on by the war cannot
be foreseen, but the duty and oppor-
tunity of citizens is clear, in provid-
ing funds for building the new addi-
dition now in course of construction
thus providing means to that extent
for a larger work among the needy
and deserving class.

American Food Must Win the War.

In this great time, when every cit
izen must do his part, the President
has made his chief appeal to the men
who live on the land. He is right in
doing so, for the safety of our coun-
try just now is in the hands of our
farmers. What / mean is not merely
our safety and the safety of our AL
lies in the matter of food. I mean
that the safety of the United States
against foreign invasion hangs on the
decision Of the farmers of the forty
eight states.
The two great weapons in this war
are arms and starvation. The war
against German arms will be won or
lost in France-the war against star
vation will be won or lost in Amer
lea. The Kaiser cannot whip the
French and English armies and the
English navy while England has food.
But it is still possible that the Ger
man submarines may be able to keep
food enough from reaching England
to starve her into submission.
If the submarines win, the first
