soon know meatless days, and drew
the conclusion that the success or
failure OF the cause of democracy de-
pends upon the American farmer.
Because of this fact, the presidents
at the conference, stated DR.. Per-
lsho, urged that young men should
enlist for food production the same as
tor actual military duty. Now, so
per cent of the men who apply are
rejected at recruiting stations, and
should be permitted to serve in the
food production department with
perfect honor. These men would be
exempted from military duty, but not
prohibited from answering the call to
the colors.
The speaker them turned to con-
sideration of what the individual
might do to help in the national
crisis. The boys can raise gardens
to keep the family through the sum
mer. The girls can learn to can
vegetables and lessen the extra pro-
fit in the canned goods trade. The
task of the men is either for military
service or food production. The
women can help in checking the $75.-
100000 waste which we now have in
the kitchens of the country.
In closing, DR.. Perisho sketched in
rapid manner the many ways in
which State college is assisting in
this work. Commencement has been
set ahead week. Students have
been sent home with full credit to
work on the farm. Speakers and
demonstrators are touring the state.
The laboratories and work shops
have been turned over to the gov
eminent and accepted. The atten-
ton of the entire school is centered
On the best methods of helping the
United States in its struggle to up
hold democracy throughout the

the company could deliver such goods as it had on
hand That is that date should be which the
law will go into effect This brings up phase of the
law that has not been talked of to any extent Under the
law the express company must accept all shipments of
fered long the law is not against it. and if it goes
into effect without warning the company which has
nothing to do with creating the condition and which can
not avoid it protect itself against what will happen
will have numerous packages on hand which the law says
it must ship out of the state within 30 days after the law
goes into effect if they not delivered The question
is to whom will the company ship them? The shipper has
claim them for they have been sold and far he
is concerned delivered and he has the money for them
The company would have to ship them out of the state
and to itself The question is what it will do with them
then? Can it sell them and keep the money? Can it sell
them and send the money to the original purchaser to
whom they shipped? If not who gets the booze or
its equivalent?
