 There will be special effort to rally our people to deep realization of what the war means to them, and what it is likely to mean in the future.

 Germany is noting our every move. She is worried at last, yet hopeful, for her spies in our midst are watching every move; they know and report to the Imperial Government any least little bit of apathy. Her army is as large as ever, her navy is practically untouched and according to reports yesterday she is even now planning to send U-boats to our shores with all the frightfulness that such warfare entails.
 We need to know about these plans, to learn of methods to support our government to overcome, not only thls menace, but how we may protect our soldier boys wno are on the other side. or who will soon be on the way lover there'.

 Every housewife will want to know how she can do her bit to win the war. Come to the town hall Monday night, listen to the explanation of the plans as outlined by the Federal Food Ad. ministration.
 The men of our allies across the water are fighting; they are not on the farms; they depend on us for food as they have never, depended before. they ask us for it with right which they have never had before.
 Women have said they can economize no more; they have always been ob. liged to and have.
 An attempt which is certainly ma. licious and possibly seditious is being made in some quarters to create the impression that the Food Administra. tion proposes to use the information on the pledge cards to confscate o1 limit the amount of food in the home Such is not the intention, as the Ad ministration is bending all its energie to aid the consumer in every wa, possible.
