National Lecturer Chapman Urges a Campaign Against Food Shortage.

E. F. Chapman, lecturer of the Na- tional grange and master of Massa- chuSetts State grange, urgently plead ed with the members of Quinebaug Pomona grange to get together and do something to help save the country from the grave food crisis that it is sure to face within the next few months, unless stupendous and suc- cessful efforts are put forth by az riculturists.
 Mir Chapman said: Show your good citizenship by taking your individual part in this great campaign to pro- means your love for God and for your fellow Coun trymen- Start out to do for the best It's what we do here that counts. Get together for results. Let the Pomona grange members plough up 15 acres of land. cultivate it and plant it and raise a big crop of foodstuffs. You must prepare for the future. Don't forget that, under the serious conditions that might de- velop, the people of Massachusetts could be starved in two weeks. The grange is the largest agricultural or ton in the world. and it's about time we woke up and did something to feed the people. As the small boy said: They get my goat how cool thoG- are taking it. Take men off the high ways and put them in the fields. Take prisoners from the jails, put them on the farms and work the old gin out of themI"
