Grow Foodstuffs

1t is incomprehensible that many persons do
not understand the gravity. of the food situation
in the United States. The problem Of growing
enough food for ourselves and the nations that
depend on US for supplies is the most momentous
one that the American nation has had to solve in
a decade. Every man, woman and child in the
United States is directly interested in it, for if
crops fail, or we are unable to raise enough food
stuff, then every man, woman and child in the
United States will suffer. We ask our readers to
study the thoughts expressed in the following ed
itorial taken from the New York American:
We are in this war; and have got to win it. That
is all there is to that.
Victory In this is not merely matter Of money
military material. Victory in this is mainly
MATTER OF FOOD SUPPLIES Drive that down deep
into your mind.
The allies can hold the Germans and the Germans
allies naval and military operations
are concerned, for long time
II both sides had plenty of food they might fight for
five years to come.
But neither side has anything like enough food They
are both pretty nearly at the end Of the string
The decisive blow strike at the German EN-
pire is to feed the allies.
That may sound easy. but it is going to be the hard

Y. NJ. c. A. Campaign

Special squads are making canvass Of the
city to raise funds for the Y. M. C. A. The par
ticular mission of the workers is well known to
the community. The Y. M. C. A. is an institution
whose worth has been proved. It is an organized
force for the moral uplifting of the city. It
keeps the youths from going astray by offering
them advantages that cannot be obtained else
where. For adults it offers attractions that make
it deservedly popular. Those who are interested
in the institution hope that it may exert wider
influence and remain an asset to the CITY, Con-
tributors to the cause may rest assured that their
money is being spent in good cause.
