THE FOOD FIGHT.

Many people are wondering
how the food saving campaign Is
succeeding. Within few weeks
we will have an official state.
ment, but it is possible to get al
idea from other sources.
In the beginning. it may be
said that the governments only
plan was a moral appeal to the
patriotic spirit of the people. No
obligations We're fixed. There Is
no way Of restraining mans APP
petite Il he cares more for ms
stomach than for his country.
The purpose was to keep bread
cards and meat cards as far ~ the
future as possible.
Tile tremendous publicity cam
paign worked through the news
papers churches and hotels and
the enlistment Of volunteers
through food pledges has had
VERY definite results. we may pc
sure Of that. The Chicago pack
ers have already appealed to the
government to lit the ban on the
neatless day. because Of the
slump in their business.
An official statishclan in an 81
fort to get at the results. shows
a typical church Of l.oi2 mem
bers or one about six times larger
than The average church of the
twenty thousand that have en-
gagged in this three months cam
paign Three hundred and five
families reported that they had
observed weekly 1904 whcatlcss
meals. i,i23 mcatless meals and
practically all wastelcs> meals.
4 family of five ordinarily con
sumcs pound of flour a meal
and ON that estimate this congre-
cation saved Is barrels of flour
IN a week. which in a year would
amount to 3,0i6 bushels of wheat
for the allies. The food admin
istration estimated that the ay-
erage family used one and one
half pounds of meat at a meal. II
one dressed beef weighs approx
mately 500 pounds, this church
saved in one week six head OF
cattle and at the end Of a year
would have saved 3i2 head. II
al The country did as well. il
would mean a saving Of lo,GN.W,
head of cattle or the same amount
Of mutton or pork.
The problem when Mr.. Hoover
started his great work was t,
save i3O,OOO.OOO bushels Of Whca
from The normal consumption II
this country. On the c>tlmat.
that we have given, that ta>l
would be accomplished with 20,
100000 bushels to spare.
The element of speculation il
this estimate is rather strong. bll
1t is believed confidently that thu
food conservation campaign ha
been success and that the ioo'
tickets and bread tickets will b.
kept waiting, if the fires of pa
triotism are kept alive.

ty anything extra. Missoula county
pays the sheriff SO cents a day for

Isn't II Time
for That Robin?.

Can it be that the draft has taken
all our observers Of vernal phenomena
for service in the submarine patrol?
We have had nearly week of April
weather. yet no one has written to The
Muscular about the first robin or the
early buttercups. The eagle eyed
robin -chascrs must. alas. have been
put to spotting Ieriscopes.
In ordinary seasons the first slusl,
is like wine to these people. When
they donncd goloshes for the first
thaw they promptly saw robins. Some
subtle relationship seemed to exist be-
tween rubbers and birds. Yet all the
world has been wearing rubberS for
nearly week. and not a robin has
bceo reported.
Such is war. Somewhere on the
Atlantic" our friends are no doubt see

cra see only driving waves.

GAMBLING AT BYBERRY
FAIR VIGOROUSLY DENIED
Secretary Buckman Says High Stand
ard of Former Exhibitions Is
Maintained

An emphatic denial that gambling in
any form was rampant at the Philadel-
phia County Fair at Byberry was made by
Walter II. Buckman, secretary of the asso-
citation, today Mr.. Buchanan said that the
high standard of the fair would be main

gambling reports were false. or at least
greatly exaggerated.
Mr.. Buchanan admitted that six lucky
number" games, at which chances for {,
box of candy were sold at ten cents a
throw" had been forbidden today. These
games were running yesterday and may
have led to the gambling rumor, 1t was said.
I'VE have no games at the fair in which
people do not get something for their
money" Mr.. Buckman concluded.
A squad of police and detectives was
much in evidence on the grounds today.
They would not say whether they We're on
the outlook for gamblers.
The awarding of prizes on the grounds
started today.
