know RusSiu is demoral;zed and in civil war. You know Italy has been forced back You know France is in politi- cal tarmoi! and England is rocked to l-s base by the Lloyd George speech in ParIs. We are going into winter quarters with gloomy outlook and 'ne balance against us If the war is on for democracy America must win 1T ;nd our ships. our food supplies and our patriotic food factors vii! be the greatest asset for victory. Therefore dor t try to beat the game. Forget yourself and your personal interest If you err, then err on the side of your country. If you split on frac- fit of 1t. Swat the stacker, and if you thinl; as 1 do, I'd like to ,hear from l you and if you think differently. I'd like to hear anyway. The main idea is to leave your government free to fight Germany and wage the war for the protection of your homes in the cause and not hamper them with internal dis sension Stand behind and push. if you please, but don't force the govern ment through unfair practices to estab- fish ''Watch' to keep cur own peo- pie in line. In our business the slogan | i, Nr>I ,,ill tbo I list in the Food Brigade and go af- | ter the man who tries to Beat the game.
 Gentlemen, don It try to find '.loop- hole" That isn't patriotic Don't hunt for 'soft spot" That is the wrong spirit. Don't try to beat the game. That's impossible. On the contrary, and this is what we gre all ability, every atom of your genius, every throb of loyalty and every dollar you possess squarey behind the govern ment.

 secure for the salvation of the nations !" Mrs. J. W. Snyder Writes Interestingly
 of Her Recent Trip East Continued from last week. On our way We met with a pleasant acquaintance in the person of Mir West and wife, who are members of the o. E S. in the same jurisdiction in which my daughter, Naomi J. Morgan, holds her membership. and as the city of Washington was crowded with vIs- itors we looked to Mir West to procure our reservation, who made US comfort able in Lincoln Hotel After a short rest, we visited the house in which Abraham Lincoln died and viewed the spot where the "Man of Sorrow" breathed his last breath after receiy- ing his death wound from the hand of an anarchist in the Foard Theater across the street, and looked upon many articles of furniture used in his home. One that showed it's old time style was the cook stove on which Mary Todd Lincoln cooked the food for our martyred President.
 We had view of the Library of Congress, said to be the finest in the world. constructed of New Hampshire granite, covers nearly four acres of ground at the cost of six million dol ors. The electric lighting is the most beautiful l ever saw and the building itself is spotlessly clean, not even mar on anything. Visitors may use the books and reading room by mak- ing proper application and one is allow ed to ramble thru the building with out guide.
 On the morning of September 1st we went to the wharf and got on the steamboat, Charles McAlester, and had delightful ride on the Potomac river, passing Fort Foote made fa- nous during the war of 1861-1S65.
 Fort Washington used during the Civil war is now used as barracks
 We could see the modern fort from the boat: also Fort Hunt, one of the most modern in design and construc- tion.
 Arriving at Mount Vernon, the first place we visited was the tomb of our first president, George Wash ington, and his wife. Martha Wash ington, where I felt we were on sacred grounds for all was gu arded by faith ful southern darkey who explained to us that the tomb was guarded day and night and no one except direct de- scendant of George Washington's S ex- slaves was allowed to work on the place and when my daughter asked him to stand by the tomb that she might take picture he said Dat Is de fust time had me pictur tuck to- day but dono how many mo time fo de day is gone"
