HOOvER'S ECONOMY RULES

In an article in the September Wo-
mans Home Companion. a writer
gives Herbert Hoover's SIX rules for
food economy. They are:
''First-To save the wheat II we
eat as usual from our harvest this
year we shall have little more than
enough for our own supply. but we
can divide with our allies il each in
dividual makes some sacrifice by eat
ing at least one wheatless meal day
'seeond-we want to save the
meat. for our cattle and hogs are de
creasing. and we must send meat to
our allies.
.'Third-We wish TO save the fats.
We wish no butter used in cooking.
less served on the table; We want less
lard. bacon and other pork products
used.
'Fourth-Deficienci in food sup
ply can be amply covered by increas-
ing the use OF iish. potatoes. beans.
turnips. cabeages and vegetables gem
orally. corn. buckwheat. rye and rice.
which we will have in abundance this
harvest
"Fif;h-We want 10 save transpor-
tation. Tc meet the war pressure for
munitions. men and coal. everyone
should consume products OF local or
igin so far as possible.
"Sixth-we want all to preach the
gospel of the clean plate; 10 see that
nothing OF value goes into the garb-
age can.
aside from eating an increased
proportion OF these commodities in or
der to save on the staples. 1t is ex-
tremely important that any surplus OF
, these commodities shall be preserved
or well stored for winter use.s

AMERICA TO FRANCE,

I'VE who are about to die. salute you!'
"A True lncident)
tBy RUTH WRIGHT KAUFMAN,
Special Correspondent OF The vigi-
lantes in France)
Two soldiers. barely twenty years.
Limp down the boulevard.
A pair of wooden legs apiece
They can't go very far.
They laugh. They're learning how to
walk.
Like any little child:
A poilu and an officer.
Their steps 10 rather wild.
Two soldiers. straight and young and
lean,
March up the boulevard.
Their eyes are taking in the sights;
They're new to France and war.
And then they stop and catch their
breath
And see-unto that last.
They raise their hands-saiute-sat
ute
And bravcly march on past.

STATE FAIR WILL NOT
Be HELD THIS YEAR

Because of the fact that the mil
itary authorities are now using the
state fair grounds at Pueblo for bar
racks and training fields. and. further
reason that the grounds win be in use
until late this fall. the board of com.
missioners OF the State fair has
abandoned all plans for the fair this
year.
The abandonment of the enterprise
for this season will be a disappoint-

FOOD SAVING FIRST

about the war. There Is just SO much

tions. We have the balance Of food.
Other nations are helping us fight the

AGRICULTURE TAU6HT IN
nl6n SCHOOL THIS YEAR

Observation and Investigation show
rIesry that modern Industrial and so
eiai conditions demand new kind OF
education. in which the instruction
given In our public schools shall cover
wide range of studies and include
many subjects. some of which at least
are intimately connected with the
basic industries and the real lif. and
activities OF the masses OF our people.
Agriculture Is the basis Of our ma
tional greatness as one.third OF our
population is engaged in agriculture
AZ a vocation. This means that every
farmer must raise enough 10 support
his own family and also enough for
two other families living in town. The
way the two families in town will live
is definitely related 10 the skin with
which the farmer tills his land and
the degree OF intelligence which the
i$fmers products.
In no way Is IL possible for the
school to serve the local community

culture. The Canon City High school

3,poo, 900 FAMILIES HAVE
 SIGNED FOOD PLEDGE CARDS
No Reports Have Been Received From
 the Smaller Towns.

Washington, Oct. 31.-Incomplete returns tonight to the food adminis- tration showed that approximately B. 100000 families had been enrolled at the close of the third day of food pledge week. This total largely rep resented the efforts of workers in the centers of population in thirty-four states no reports having been re- ceived from the smaller towns and country districts.
 Information sent to headquarters here it was announced, is that the pro-German propaganda against sign ing the pledge, spread through many of the middle western states, has re- suited in aiding the campaign, arous- ing the workers to renewed efforts and convincing many householders that the movement must have great merit to arouse an active fight against it by German agents and sympathizers.
 Indiana now leads all the states with 11O,2s2 families enrolled: Vir- ginia is second with 107, 900. In New York city 1O4,0 ,000 families have been enrolled
 Lord Rhondda, the British food con- troller, in a cablegram to the food administration, said the result of the American food pledge week means much to us and more to civilization.'' He dwe1t upon the sacrifices made by the millions of men who offered their services against the enemy and said that what was asked of those who stay at home was scarcely worthy the name of sacrifice.
