At che invitation of a group of the
business men of Fulton county, the
Secretary, Percy B. Williams, of the
Toledo Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation, visited Wauseon last Thurs
day night to discuss with these men
the ser ious problems which face the
young man in the military concentra-
ton CAMPS. Secretary Williams stat
ed from facts received from Camp
Willis, The border, and the great En-
glish m ilitary training camps that
more men, from the temptations met
in theses camps, were made unfit for
military service, than were killed by
bullets. He told striking stories
from the, European military prisons
and battle fields which convinced
every man present that Fulton coun-
ty should have share in providing
in these military camps the equip
ment which the government permits
the Younsr Mems Christian Associa-
tion to stablish within the lines for
meeting the social, recreational and
moral need s of the young men. A
special exec utive order has been issued
notifying the army officials that the
Young Mems Christian Association is
specifically assigned this task.
Arrangements have been made to
present this important question to

woman who can drive an automobile
can also manage a farm tractor or
ride sulky plow. Fortunately, most
modern farm machinery is of such a
character that it requires very little
heavy physical strength to handle it.
Everyone knows that the English wo-
men are performing on the farms
tasks which they would have consider
ed impossible three years ago.
Women who have no ground at their
disposal, women that is to say, who
live in the cities, can perform just as
patriotic service as the women who
can grow foods. Every woman who
has anything to do with the conduct
of household must see to it in this
crisis that her kitchen is run on the
most efficient possible basis. Our ex-
perts have estimated, and / believe
that the estimate is conservative, that
over S700,000,000 worth of food is
wasted every year in the American
homes. This waste must stop, and
it cannot stop except by the efforts
of individual women, working in CO.
operation with the schools of domes-
tic science, womens' clubs and other
ORGANIZATIONS WDlCH Sdh supply
necessary information. In this crisis,
l believe that the American families
should eat meat but once a day, and
should be on the lookout for cheap,
palatable, and nutritious substitutes
for those foods which are either ex-
pensive or short in supply. 1t is not
generally known in the American
homes that corn meal is an almost
perfect substitute for potatoes; that
beans and cheese may be used in the
menu to replace the meat dish; that
bread made Of whole-wheat flour is
more wholesome than bread made of
white Hour; and that dried vegetables,
such as beans and peas, are exactly
as healthful and palatable as fresh or
canned vegetables.
These are only few suggestions,
but they are typical of the kind Of pa
triotic household hints which it is of
the utmost Importance to put into
practice at this time. ] cannot believe
that the women Of the United States
are going to be backward in this
crisis. They never have been in the
bast. and they win not be now, par
ticularly, IL the alert and energetic
women spread the gospel of home
preparedness and demonstrate the i'm
nerative need that everyone do her
duty in this hour"

ti0n of Women of Fulton County For
War Relief Service Progressing
Appeal For Production and Con-
servatiOn.

The success Of tag day May 18th
was due to the hearty cooperation of
the public, the ladies of the National
League of Woman's Service and the
teachers and students in the High
School who superintended the solicit
ing. The gratifying amount Of $212.23
was collected which will be expended
in buying material to be made into
hospital supplies. Three different
committees have visited the Red Cross
headquarters in Toledo during the past
week to get in touch with the work
At present some changes are being
made in their work, due 90 our new
position since entering. the war. In
order to avoid mistakes It is leces-
sary to act slowly. Every woman in
the town and county is urged to help
and it is hoped soon to establish head
quarters where ladies can meet to
work under supervision and can come
for information in regard to work at
home. Any woman who is willing to
work will be cordially y pelconed and
It is urged that they offer their SER
vices instead of waiting for an invi-
tation, and if an offer is overlooked
do not be backward in Offering again
and again. With so much new work
and so many helpers we must all do
our share and we wish to emphasize
that all in the county who wish to
work w'th MS are welcome. Watch the
raper next week for notice Of meet
ing and please sign registration blanks
stating kind Of work you can do. This
does not ohligate anyone to do more
than they wish but it elassihes the
work.
"For God, for Home, for Country"
In a letter addressed to the War

tional Society Daughters of American
Revolution, Carl Vrooman, Assistant
Secretary of the Department Of Agri-
cultural makes the following sugges-
tions in regard to helpful service
which women may render along the
lines of rfoduction and conservation
of food supplies:

WHAT To CROW
A List of Vegetables That May Be
Easily Grown in Gardens and Are
Capable of Being Preserved for
Winter Use.
By DR.. Ernest w. D. Lanfer
Agronomist
American Steel and Wire Co.

Great and momentous times are for
the first time since the Civil War
again confronting the nation. The
resources and savings of years of
peace are again being pledged to the
prosecution of war, more gigantic and
more relentless than any war that has
been fought in the history of mankind.
Not all of US are chosen however to
fight this great war with gun and
saber, or by blood purchase, some
must stay behind to pledge all that
they possess in the effort to produce
enough food to keep the valiant SOL
der fed and their babes and wives at
home from starvation. Our beautiful
land of unlimited resources must be
made to show its prowess in agricul-
tural production, so that none within
her boundaries shall feel the pangs
of hunger and the degrading influence
of poverty.
Citizens and countrymen, it is your
solemn duty to produce and conserve
all of the food that it is possible to
produce and conserve No matter
how small the garden or how tiny the
number OF pounds saved from waste,
concerted effort will produce a poten-
tial weapon against our most danger
Gus enemies, hunger and food riots.
In choosing what things to grow
in the gardens, it should be borne in
mind that the crops to be consumed
lat once such as lettuce, radishes,
melons ETC., are to occupy only the
most limited space, while crops that
can be dried, cooked, steam processed,
or cellared should be grown as abund-
antly as possible. The vegetables
that are most readily preserved by
cooking, or steam processing are,
peas, sweet corn, tomatoes, spinach,
swiss ehard and cucumbers. Beets,
carrots and string beans may also be
put in this way, either picked or in
brine. Rutabagas, turnips, celeriac,
parsnips, as well as carrots and beets
may simply be placed in a cool cellar,
! (the temperature of which should not
be kept higher than 40 degrees Fahr-
enheit) in bins of dry sand, where
they will retain their usefulness un-
til the late spring. Cabbages, Chinese
Cabbage, Brussels Spouts and Kohl
rabi may be placed in the cellar with
the heads down and covered with sand
taking care that they do not touch
each other, but that each is entirely
surrounded with a layer of sand.
String Beans and Cabbage may of
course be preserved by the fermenta-
tion method in the form of saurkraut.
| Parsley, Sage, Thyme, Marjoram,
Summer Savory, Basil and Celery
leaves should be dried in cool room,
preferably dark with an abundance of
circulating air. For this purpose they
should be spread on newspapers in
thin layers and turned frequently, or
they may be tied in small punches and
suspended from line until thorough
ly dry when they should be packed in
air tight boxes, such as baking powder
tins, etc. In gathering cabbages and
i the above herbs, care should be taken
that they are free from dew and
4 other moisture as this would cause
I moulding and rotting. Okra or Gum
!. bo is not much known in the North,
lit however makes an excellent and

WILL RAISE OWN VEGETABLES

H. c. L., otherwise known as high
cost of living, will not make excessive
inroads on the prices of the restaur-
ant of the Ohio Union, the mems
building of the Ohio State University,
this summer, due to the fact that the
management has taken steps to raise
vegetables. The crops will be from a
plot of University land and the work
will be done by student employees of
the Union.
The Union use 600 bushels of po-
tatoes annually, and at least this
amount, it is expected, will be realiz-
ed from the acreage under cultivation.
It is believed that the garden will
save considerably in the expenses of
the table, and if successful will be
continued.

A FRIENDLY BIBLE SCHOOL WAR

A peaceful war has been declared
for three months between the Bible
Schools of the First Christian church
of Wauseon and Bowling Green, Ohio.
The contest begins next Sunday
morning, and the on time count is
taken in both schools promptly at
$3.50.
Bowling Green has the largest
place from which to enlist, but Wau-
seon has the patriotic spirit that
ought to win. If the home force gets
into the battle early there will be nc
question about keeping Wauseon tc
the front under the flag of victory.

The Pythagorians Of Ancient Greece

fulfills it's ancient mission as symbol
of health. If you are troubled with in
