DOG IS LOCKED IN TOWER
vestigates He Finds Him Lying
Against Pendulum.

Rome, Ga.-The big city clock in
the 60O-foot tower on College hill here
was stopped by a dog.
When City Timekeeper Williamson
went to wind the clock two days be-
fore, as he does every week, a dog
followed him on the winding stairway
and when the t~imekeeper left he did
not notice that he had locked the dog
in the clock when he closed the door
that leads to it.
For two days, without water or food,
the dog whined and barked 600 feet
above the city, but, Of course, was not
heard. =
Then people Of the city looking at
the clock saw that it had stopped, and
someone notified the timekeeper, who
went to see what was the matter. He
saw the dog lying against the big pen
dufum, snarling savagely. A police
man brought the animal safely to
earth. 1t was almost starved by its
two days fast, but has recovered.

A few days ago we sent out a call
to the women Of the country that they
sign a pledge to us to accept our sug-
g~estions as to substitutes and waste
elimination In their homes, so far AZ
their circumstances would permit. AL
ready we have over 100000 home
pledges en- route to Washington, Phil
adelphia leading with 250,OOO. st.
Louis, for example, has had over $50
mass meetings Of women In arrange
ing the enrolment. There are 2,40O
organized women In Virginia making
a house-to-house canvass. We shall
have the millions of homes In the
United States enrolled as members Of
the food administration, Joining us in
volunteer regulation within sixty days.
This in response to a simple request
and with no extended organization on
our part, but in reliance upon the sup
port Of the women's committee Of the
council of national defense, state coun-
ellis of defense, the multitude of exist
ing women's organizations and the
strong support of all the churches and
fraternal organizations of the country.
AS soon as we can formulate the vol
untary regulations we shall ask for
similar pledges from every public eat
ing place and every trade in the
try.
The elimination of waste in the
country has been most gratifying. The
best index Of this saving is in garbage
returns from our large cities. We
have returns for the month Of June
from cities a%ggregating a population
of 15,0O0,OO0, showing a reduction Of
their garbage by 80 per cent below the
month of June last year.. These dg-
ures are a tribute to the energy of
American women, not only in the work
Of their households, but in the organi-
Of public opinion for the elm
Of waste.
Spells Germany's Doom.
If we make a broad survey Of the
country, W. find every state spontane-
ously creating a definite and active
food organization presided over by
capable and devoted men and women
who are sacrificing every interest In
national service. We find a well.

From 1900 Chinese words, which he

instance, he compared the translit-
Grated Chinese words with the Eng

Min with man Chou with child; Chi

case the sound Of the words was strik-

them with Chinese words meaning the

Women Respond Nobly.


The wolf is at the door of Europe,
and with all these SURPRISES, our stock
of foodstuffs would still have been too
little for the demand upon US during
the coming veal If our people had not
responded to the call for wise and eco
nomical use of food and for the elm
inatiOn Of waste. The response not
only In planting, but also in conserva-
ton has been Of such spontaneous,
magnificent order as to justify conf
dent optimism in the ability of our
people to prepare and to preserve. In
the matter of our great surplus Of per-
ishables, because of our inability to
out from Washington asking that our
people should consume the perishables
during the summer and fall months
in substitution for the great staples
which should be held for the winter,
and for shipment to our allies. They
were asked to substitute corn for
wheat and to conserve the waste of
meat and fats by the use of substi-
tutes. That this is being done is al
ready evidenced by reports of dealers
In cereals and in meats, which indi-
cate a most remarkable decrease in
! demand for these commodities and an
increased demand for substitutes. A
call also was sent out asking that all
perishables that could not be consumed
should be preserved and stored. This
call, since the arrival of perishables in
May, has been met by the response OF
millions of women in the country, not
only in the matter of preserving In the
household, but also by the creation OF
innumerable committees, clubs, demon
stration trains and instructors provid-
ed by our educational institutions,
making a complete system throughout
the country. Although we are only
half way through the canning season,
we a begin to see magnificent re-
suits. 1t Is obvious enough that the
American woman has not lost the
arts of her pioneer mother.
Will Supply the Deficiency.
Our American anners will this year
produce about 1,7OO, 100000 cans Of
fruit and vegetables. Our government
and the allies will require about 2O0,-
100000 OF these cans The returns we
have from various state organizations
based upon the results obtained for the
arst half Of the season indicate that
he American women will preserve

Herbert Hoover Says Success In
This War Is a Question OF
Resources
FOOD PROBLEM IS SOLVED
Spontaneous Volunteer Effort o. Part

Professionalism Women Re-
spond NobIy In Great Crisis.
BY HERBERT HOOVER.

Washington.-No one can rightly be
gloomy Ove the outcome for the Amer
ican people in this war. Success IN
this war is a question of resources,
and the will and ability Of the people
to organize themselves to use their re-
sources rightly and to endure. Many
thinking people, In America and
throughout the whole world, have been
watching a~nxiously the last four
months in the fear that Democratic
America could not organize to meet
autocratic Germany. Germany has
been confident that 1t could not be done.
Contrary proof Is Immediately at our
door. Aside from the remarkable as
semblage of our army and financial re-
sources, our people have already DEM
ronstrated their ability to mobilize, or
Gganize. endure and prepare voluntarily
and efficiently in many directions and
upon a mere word of inspiration.
Food Supply Increased.
We entered the war four months
ago, and 1t was announced by the pres
ident that, one Of the great problems
of the wal would be food; that we
must prepare to increase and to save
our f00dstufs for a year In advance,
not only for ourselves, but for u
allies as well. There has been no con-
seQuential national or local legislation,
yet the greatest spontaneous volunteer
effort ever made in history has pro-
vided US with a larger stock of food
supply as a result Of patriotic plant
ing In every quarter, and waste is be-
ing eliminated out of every crack and
tries. This is being done without com
pulsion of the law, and by spontaneous
effort and self-denial Of the people.
There have sprung up over night
throughout the United States, in every
city, county, village and state, def
mite and positive organizations, prac-
teal In their ends and unf1agging In
their efforts, which have the will to
solve food-supply questions. No au-
tocratic government could accomplish
this. Germany accomplished less in
twelve months than our people have
done in four. The only need of our
legislation and authority is to curb
those who would profit by this volun-
teer movement. The proof of all this
lies in the fact that our present pros
poets indicate an increase of prOduc-
ton Of cereals by S50,OOO,OOO bushels.
Our farmers planted an increased
acreage of wheat, but the weather has
not responded for this product. Liter
ally millions Of new gardens have
been planted or extended everywhere.
We have the largest supply of vegeta-
bles In our history.

ANNOUNCEMENT.

I have spent my summer vacations
TOR the past 80 years on Flathead lake.
and am now "A years OF age, and hope
to live 26 years longer and see the
greatest and most renowned summer
resort in the world built around the
200 miles of shores and on the islands
Of this most wonderful awe inspiring
mountain lake.
Until recently, Flathead lake has
been isolated and unknown to the
world. being located in the heart OF
the Rocky mountains between two
transcontinental railroads passing on
the north and south.
Ever since the completion of these
two Unconstitutional railroads. l have
diligently and persistentiy pointed out
to the "Powers that Be" the advis-
ability OF building branch lines to
reach both ends OF the lake, using
water transportation for the connect
Ing link between the railroad termin-
ais. thus uniting the north and south
portions of the state Of Montana, as
we'll as the two national parks stu
ated within Its borders.
The great ambition Of my life will
soon be realized. A branch line touch.
Ing the north shore of the lake Is and
has been In operation for some time,
and branch line from the south, to
terminate at the south shore of the
lake. Is rapidly nearing completion,
and in order to further improve ia
cilities for the taveling public. shall
Immediately incorporate the Flathead
Lake Hotel company. to be capitalized
for one million dollars. for the pur-
pose of erecting thoroughly modern
hotel on one Of the most picturesque
sites on Fiathead lake. and also to
build two of the most palacial ferry
boats In the world. with ample ia
ciiities for carrying 1000 passengers
and 80 automobiles, to ply day and
night between the railway terminals
at the north and south ends Of the
lake, 36 miles apart.
The main office of the Flathead
Lake Hotel company will be immedi-
ately opened at Helena. the capital OF
the state OF Montana, and stock sub
scription books opened to subscribers
