one. Mooers and sons. two miles east

nagh. Orofino creek, rebuilt and en-
larged one Louis Soderberg. on the

Do you know of any we have miss
ed? Will you help us take silo CEN

interesting, and worth while. this
boosting for things that make for
permanent prosperity?
How many silos in your neighbor-
hood?

Food Conservation Will
Help Win This War;

Herbert Hoover, Food Administra-
tor, has just issued the following
statement: THE Food Administra-
ton is much encouraged by the
present outlook for Food Pledge week
which ends November 4th, and is
now confident of its complete success
Although complete returns have not
yet been received from outlaying dis
tricts. it is evident that Louisiana.
Idaho and North Dakota. the three
states that are Carrying on their cam
paign one week ahead of schedule.
will exceed their quotas of signed
pledges. Louisiana with an appor-
tionment of 100000 will have over
100000 signed cards. The number
secured the first day being more than
any total vote ever cast in that state.
The campaign managers in the other
two states. Idaho with 100000 and
North Dakota with los. 900, have as
sured us that these figures will be
surpassed. Judging from the returns
already received, several other states
have boosted their original quotas,
some promising to complete 95 per
cent enrolment. while some county
managers believe they will enroll

''Ships, wheat and hogs will win
the war" says Herbert Hoover
Wars are won today as much by
the organization and self sacrifice of
the Nation as by the valor of the
troops on the firing line. If every
one of Americas one hundred million
citizens will eat pound less wheat
-four a week America will be able to
ship 5000. 900 bushels of wheat a
year to its European allies. If each
one of us will eat Ia of an ounce less
butter each day we will be able to
ship 1000 tons of butter year to
Europe. II each one of us will eat an
ounce less meat a day it will mean
that we can ship more than 4,O0O,-
coo steers. hogs and sheep to the
soldiers of our allies and their fam
lilies. If we will eat one ounce less
sugar day II will enable us to ship
l ,185.0n0 tons of sugar a year to our
own soldiers and those of our allies
in Europe. By doing this we will
help to assure victory. Can we at
ford to avoid doing our duty in this
natter"
President Wilson recently said:
I'm no direction can American wom-
en- so greatly assist in the winning
of the war as by enlisting In the ser
vice of the Food Administration and
cheerfnlly accepting It's direction and
advice" Have you signed the pledge
card yet? Are you lighting for
