"Sqpe the Waste and Win the War"
WHAT FOOD CONSERVATION MEANS.

THERE are few people who cannot seem TO reconcile
themselves to the Hoover idea Of saving food we
hear these fellows say: " don't propose to eat less SO
that some of those Europeans can have more
Now no real patriot would make such remark, unless
he fails to understand the foreign situation We arc tak'
inq lot about patriotism and there is general deter
mnaon to have that patriotism take the form where II
will do the most good Enlismcns come first then. comes
the financial part food is closely allied to both
II the people in the United States fail to supply plenty
of wheat and other oods,uffs to the French and fng"h
soldiers the men in the armies OF those two countries VIII
be too weak to fight The situation, then, will call Tor
more men and still more from the United States to
take the places of the allied soldiers who don't have
enough to eat.
Now then, isn't the life Of an American soldier worth
saving by conserving food supply, so that we can
help feed the armies of the allies Remember, II We
eat all the food we raise and if fail to send good
supply to the military force, of France and England
we'll also be forced to send few thousand extra Amcr

British and French soldiers VITO are hungry on OF
their own countries being unable feed them properly
II anyone gets the idea that are not confronted by
duty in averting famine among the allied troops he IS
reminded that If we let the allied soldiers become ea
ciated from lack Of food we will be compelled to send
extra soldiers from Oklahoma and other states to take the
places Of the ren that we fail to feed.
In other words if make sacrifice and less food
we will lose less lives the French frontier That's what
food conservation means

During the first week OF BruSloNS

were taken and a great hole dug straight

champion and several others are al
ready in shape to play championship
golf and all have turned out some very
pretty scores already this season.
In professional ranks Jock Hutchin
son, Long Jim Barnes and Walter Ha-
gen all have their eyes fixed On Evans
open title.
Evans must defend his open title on
the difficult Brae Burn course and is
likely to find the going much more
difficult than at Minnekahda, where he
won his title last year.
The Brae Burn course offers pa,ticu-
larry difficult hazards at the short
game and to turn the course in rs is
exceptional play. Evans is not the
wonder at the short game that he has
proved himself to be at the long and
this may bother him considerably.
