YOU CAN FIGHT FOR YOUR
COUNTRY IN YOUR KITCHEN AS
WELL AS ON THE FIELD OF BAT
TIE. - 1t is impossible to put too
much emphasis upon the necessity
for food saving by every one during
the war.
Food is going to play as important
a part, if not a more important part,
in the war than guns and ammuni-
ton.
The saving Of food is very largely
an individual problem. In the final
analysis it is up to the women of the
nation.
Every woman should do her part
in the governments campaign to in
crease and conserve the nations food
supplies.
The food necessities of all of the
nations with which we are allied in
the war against Germany are very
great.
The people of America must save
every pound of food that self
imposed rigid economy makes posi- !
bic to the end that there be the |
greatest possible surplus for ship |
ment to our hard-pressed allies.
Do not make the mistake of con-
fusing the food problem with the /
financial problem.
You have no more moral right to
waste food simply because you can
afford to do so than has your small
income neighbOr.

It is not a question Of saving FOOD.
for the moneys sake. It must De

Every pound Of food that finds its
way to the garbage can means that
much loss of fighting strength. 2
Volunteer today, for the Duration
of the war, in the great American
army of food savers.
Begin now, today, to demonstrate
thrift in YOUR home.
Make saving, rather than wasting
YOUR social standard. Z
You can fight for your country in
your kitchen just as effectively as
your husbands, brothers, sons and,
sweethearts are fighting for it on the

AT THE WAR BoNDS.-There must
be a big bond issue to meet the early
expense Of the war, no matter how.
much money we raise later on by di-
rect, taxes on incomes, inheritances,
luXuries, etc.
The amount talked of is between
$4,000, 100000 and $4,000, 100000.
These bonds can be sold to banks
or direct to the people.
We believe they should be sold to
the people direct.
They should be issued in denomi-
nations as low as $25 and every post
Office in the land should have them
on sale,
They should be tax free and should
carry a low rate Of interest, says 8 or
315 per cent.
They should be convertible into
higher interest rate bonds if it is
found necessary to pay higher in
terest on later issues.

Help the Army
YIN. CA. Cause
{ Mankato Review

The people Of the United States
are Loyalty responding to the calls
of their government for money and
for men with which to carry on the
war that is to make the world safe
for democracies. Having given their
boys to the army, they naturally re-
sponded with unexampled generosity
TO the Red Cross call for the means
by which the physical needs Of those
boys might be provided for in case of
wounds or sickness or in conditions
of distress that the governmental
provision for their care might not
fully meet,
There is soon to be pres ented to
them another call based on the NOR
al. social and recreational needse of
those boys, when far away from their
homes and under new environments
and unfamiliar conditions.
The agency through which these
needs are to be met is the army Y.
M. C. A. for which it is now sought
to raise fund of $4,000 900 in the
United States, Minneso.a'S share in
which is estimated at gl,O00,000. The
state has been districted for the pur-
pose of carrying on the canvass for
this sum and the district of twelve
counties. of which Mankato is the
center, has undertaken to provide
100000 of that amount. Blue Earth
county, as one of the largest and
richest of the twelve that make up
the district is. expected to pledge
about $4,000 to the fund. We can
do it and we ought to do it.

The Parting
OF The Ways

by the Public Safety Commission
An outstanding feature of the sec
Cnd Liberty Loan campaign, aside
from the amount of bonds sold. is the
fact that it has Indicated beyond a
doubt that people of German descent
have come to. the conclusion that the
parting of the ways has come for.
them, between the 1'love for the Faith
erland' and the duty that they owe
to this land of freedom which has
done so much for them; the land
where they and their children will
continue to live and make their home
after the war is over, and world
wide. everlasting peace has been es-
tablished
In many German communities the
subscription to the bonds was very
generous and was seized upon as an
opportunity for proving their loyal
ty, to indicate that they felt real
interest in the war, the future vel
fare of our country and to indicate
that they feel personal pride and
interest as part and parcel of our
great nation. Many are also realiz-
ing that in buying bonds they are
doing something to free their own
beloved "Fatherland" from the iron
rule of a ruthless militarism and war
crazed autocracy. They now realize
that if they can help the United
States to victory, it means the same
freedom and liberty for those Of their
relatives and friends who are now in
the sold country.
Reports to the State Safety Com
mission on the loan indicated a great
change Of sentiment among people Of
/ German descent along these lines and
the raising Of money for war pur-
poses along these lines had had a
wonderful effect in uniting and slim
ulating patriotic sentiment every
where.
1t might be said that the parting
of the ways" should have come months
ago, but when we realize the fact
that the great problem of the war
has been the education of sentiment
for the war from the ground up, the
fact becomes apparent that our ma
ton has had quite task on its hands.
We have done in a few short
months what has taken Germany
years, with q most cunning and IN
tricate system Of propaganda in full
operation working every moment.
The result Of the second campaign
therefore has been rich in results as
an educational influence and in bring
ing people Of German descent to q
more clear and complete understand
ing Of the duties Of their citizenship
to this country. against which love
of the Fatherland" cannot hold.

GERMAN AMERICANS.

Among the names of enlisted men
cited for gallantry aboard the United
States destroyer Casson we find: Ed
ward Werchbrodt, George Hoffman,
Hans Miller, Alfred Oehl, George
Klein, E. F. Leonhardt.
Among the soldiers drowned when
German U-boat sank the United
States transport Antilles were: An
ton Ehrhardt, E. L. Echel, Ernest
Egert, Otto Kleber, William Faust,
Otto Miller.
1t is only a few weeks since we
heard the cry, Germans cannot fight
Germans" but it is only few days
since a German-American wrote,
perhaps the brightest page in the
history of this war for freedom and
democracy will be devoted to the
heroism Of German-Americans." Who
doubts it now? Chicago Tribune.

Only those who have been in the
army camps for some time can ade-
quately understand the temptations
that fall in the way of those who are
! thus placed in an environment, where
the accustomed restraints of home
and society are no longer in evidence.
There are evil intentioned people, both
male and female, who make bust
ness of hanging about such camps
seeking the moral oefeat of your boy
or mine, in order that they may gain
profit thereby The American sol
der, as the best paid soldier In the
world, will be more severely besieged
by these forces of evil than any 9TH
er because they offer greatest oppor
tunities for profitable exploitation.
The best safeguard for our boys
against such things is to provide for
their entertainment and recreation
under auspices that shall be free
from evil and allied with good. 1t is
important that there shall be social
and moral forces at work in the train
ing camps in this country and across
the seas, that shall take the place
of those restraints that have safe
guarded them at home, and which
shall adequately counter balance the
evil of which we have spoken.
1t is for this that the army Y. M.
sC. A. has been created and to this
end it has received official recogni-
ton by the government as the agency
thus to be employed The army X.
M. G. A. is longer an experiment. It's
value has been shown in the armies
of our allies through three years of
war. The camps where it has been
lacking have afforded demonstrations
Of the woeful need for such work as
it does that amply support the evi-
dences Of its work where it has
been present.

Oh, if you only knew!
Pride and laughter and joy and tears,
All my prayers through the coming
years,
All of my love for you.
Caught in stitch, just my heart,

Ties that will hold it true;
Hundreds of stitches, and row on row,
Telling again what you surely know
All of my pride for you.
See how I've tangled in all this wool
Something ! can't undo;
You who a nations wrongs redress.
Surely owe you happiness,
Laughter and joy for you.
