Pledges to Save
Nations Food

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2s-Presiden
Wilson in a statement issued toda
Urged ever home and public eatin
,lace in the United States to pledge it
support to the Food Administratio
ind to compl with its requests.
The Presidents statement follows
1.-THE chief part of the burden Of
finding food supplies for the peo-
pies associated with US in war
falls for the present upon the
American people, and the drain Of
supplies on such a scale neces-
sarily affects the prices of our
necessaries Of life.
"Our country, however, Is
blessed with an abundance Of food
stuffs, and If our people will econ
omize in their use of food. provi-
IDENTIFY conf1ning themselves to the
quantities required for the main
tenance of health and strength; If
they will make use of those COM
modities Of which we have sur
plus and thus free for export a
larger proportion of those required
by the world now dependent upon
us, we shall not only be able to
accomplish our obligations to
them, but we shall obtain and
establish reasonable prices at
home.
Every One May Serve.
ITO provide an adequate sup
ply of food both for our own sol
diers on the other side Of the seas
and for the civil populations and
\armies of the allies is one Of
lrst and foremost obligations.
for II we are to maintain their
constancy in this struggle for the
independence of all nations we
must first maintain their health
and strength. The solution of our
food problems. therefore, is de-
pendent upon the individual serv-
ice of every man, woman and
child in the United States. The
great voluntary effort in this d.
rection which has been initiated
and organized by the food admin
istration under my direction offers
an opportunity Of service In the
war which is open to every In
dividual and by which every In
dividual may serve both his own
people and the peoples of the
world.
1--WE cannot accomplish our OBJ
jects in this great war without sac
rifice and devotion, and in no d.
rection can that sacrifice and de-
votion be shown more than by
each home and public eating place
in the country pledging its support
to the food administration and
complying with its REQUESTS"

about Thanksgiving time the deacon
dropped In here and inquired about
the horse. Seemed real pleased when

after his summers work. Asked to
see him, but the horse was out on
a job. Quite a member Of society, that
horse is he said, and went away after
inquiring how many horses I had In
the stable, boarders and all.

much doing here after the regular
chores were done, and we all sat
around the office stove, when the dea-

that kind OF satisfied smile Of the
deacon's, as he said I would find a
note inside the bag. I did and this
was about what It said:

The purely passive contemplation Of
nll good ought to be granted to com.
mon days on which no more has oc.

It once again, Instead OF slipping on
past Gods best gifts as men so often
