This is food conservation week, a
period set aside by Herbert Hoover

which he has seen fit to give the title
of "An Unparalleled Adventure in De-
mocracy." The big test is now under
way, not only in Indiana, but in every
state of the Union, and full realiza.
ton Of its importance is necessary on
the part of every household.
Richmond, it is hoped, will receive
much the same sort of an awakening
as came to it during last week when
the final days of the Liberty Loan
campaign pushed both city and coun-
ty into the front ranks in Indiana.
Already hundreds of Richmond
housewives have responded to the call
for active participation In the cam
paign for food control and under the
plan now devised there should not be

actively engaged in carrying out In a
practical way the suggestions made by
