That the people OF Grady county
are rallying to the food conservation
idea and are pledging their support

have covered the county up to date.

Of the manager of the campaign in
this county, that the names Of those
who refused to sign the pledge would
be published at the close of the week.
Red 6Iooded Americans.
The number that have so far refus-
ed to sign the cards, is small and it
is believed that at least portion OF
those who have refused to sign will
later get lined up with the big army
that is coming to the rescue Of Amer
ica's food supply, simply at the re-
quest of the government, thus obyiat-
ing the necessity of the government
compelling them to do So Those
who sign now are hailed as true, red
blooded Americans.

EMBARGO RUN
ON LIVESTOCK

For the present, the Frisco and
Santa Fe roads have issued orders
for an embargo on livestock ship
ments. The oislers are now in effect
and while it is thought that the en-
barge will be only temporary no one
has ventured an assertion as to when
it will be lifted
At the local Frisco offices it was
stated that no shipments of livestock
will be received, while at the Santa
Fe orders have been received to turn
over no stock cars to shippers. No
orders have been received at the
Rock Island, but Mr. Nugent, the
agent, stated that the Rock Island
has at this time no available stock
cars.
The embargo is for the purpose Of
relieving the situation in southwest
Texas, where thousands of cattle are
at the point Of death through lack Of
food and water. All available cars
to being rushed to that section to
haul the starving cattle away. This
is right in line with the food conser-
vation idea, for every animal in the
southwest Texas country saved, will
mean just that much more beef with
which to feed the nation as well as
our allies and soldiers across the wa
ter.
