CAMPAIGN FOR
FOOD CONSERVATION

Next week will be the big week for
the food conservation campaign in
Florida, and the Star wants the peo-
pie of our city and county to do their
level best. They cannot over-estimate
the Importance of the subject. Next
to sending men to the front, it is the
most vital of the war. 1t concerns US
here at home, for in the shifts and
turns of the tremendous cataclysm
weare passing thru, there is possibil-
ity of our being at any time thrown
entirely on our own resources. So
let US go diligently to work, the
farmers, the stockmen, the garden
ers and other producers to raise all
the foodstuffs possible, and the con-
sumers to manage so that not scrap
of anything shall be wasted.
In connection with this, let all who
possibly can be at the Temple theater
tomorrow morning, to hear Mr..
Hodges, the campaign director. No
matter how much you may have
heard, he can tell you something
more, and no matter what you may
think you see he can furnish you a
new viewpoint for your vision.
