The whole world faces famine. Now
Everybody knows that foodstufrs are
high. and going higher, in this country.
Everybody knows that the people in Eng
land aad France and Italy are rigidly
cconomzng, and that Germany. Austria
and Turkey are approaching famine; but
everybody docs not realize that the pco-
Dle right here in the United States will
I'm all probability have 10 face, certainly

for year thereafter, condition of

perhaps during the first winter of the

So say, Arthur r. Marsh editor of The
Economic World and as competent an

enough to meet the requirements OF the
unblockaded countries.
If America is going TO put a million or
so of her young men into the army some
body viii have to feed them.
And now comes Ernest Thompson
seton, dear TO all boys and to all others
who love outdoors, with a proposition to
mobilize the children. with hoes and
rakcs, TO get behind the soldiers with
their guns, and 10y using every vacant
lot ana back yard make every child feed

Potatoes are about as nutritious food
as can be found, they can be raised easily

cation extends from Stevensville to
Philadelphia and New York. The
rail facilities, together with the
depth of the bay about the island,
were large factors in the selection OF
the site. -
What use the Government will
make of the island upon its acqnisi-

is understood that it may fill a long

Also it is expected that a military
