ject. the country at large goes on
eating, almost all 1t can get.
Il am enlisting the women on my
side,' was the new director gener-
ais first statement to the public.
III every one will loyalty observe
Lord Devonport's directions for
household rations CA pounds bread
per person per week: 21a pounds
meat, and ~ pounds sugar. the food
supplies will be maintained
This is the most encouraging news
on the subject England has heard in
many day.
But Jones continued. there
must be no lodging the restrictions.
The ministry of food has divided
its nation-saving campaign into four
sections.
Obtaining supplies and maintain
ing stocks;
Equitable distribution;
Restricting consumption by Sc
ries of rations, carefully considered
with regard to every interest; and
The teaching of economy and
bringing home to the people its ur-
gent necessity.
For the present, Jones announced.
he will direct his energies toward
accomplishing the fourth duty.
q look to every man and woman
to support me- he said. If they
will do SO there will be no need for
food tickets, or family books. which
will entail an infinity Of trouble
and the creation OF an undesirable
officialdom.
I'VE shall try to do without any
fresh orders excepting as regards ho-
tells. restaurants and clubs, the pro-
prietors and managers OF which have
asked the food controller to lay
down definite rules for their guild
ance and to treat all alike.
There is no intention at present
OF interfering with the sale Of sim

of sweets and it would not be just
to ruin number of small shop
keepers, mostly women. There will
be quite enough sugar for the chill
dren's lollipops, II adult consumers
will keep within their three-quar-
ters OF pound per week.
"a movement is on foot to estab-
lish public kitchens in several dis
tricts. But If the rich will give first
consideration to the needs OF the

LONDON. April Is, (By mail
Appealing to the entire womanhood
/ of Britain to enlist in his army
General Kennedy Jones. director
of food economy, inaugurated his
spring campaign against starvation
with the vigor that characterized
his previous successful battles for
England's cause.
Women are the food buyers and
the food preparers OF the nation,
Jones said, and | look to them to
defeat the present menace Of the
submarine blockade by preventing
extravaganza in any form"
As England faces far greater dan
ger from the threatened shortage OF
food than from the Central powers
on any battlefield, the country's wo-
men have been called to a battle
which is certain to have as decisive
effect on the outcome Of the war as
any push against the German
trenches by their brothers at the
front.
To the well-to-do the director gen.
eral made his first appeal.
Leave bread, meat, sugar and po-
tatoes for the poor" is his original
suggestion There are many ex-
pensive substitutes the rich can af-
ford, but it is necessary that the
food on which the working classes
depend be supplied Them
Il see no reason for compulsory
rationing at present" Jones said. 81
firmly believe that when the people
clearly understand the situation they
will do what is required. l am here
to make them understand.
Kennedy Jones is the square-jaw
man OF whom Bonar Law, after the
recent win-the-war loan achieved sue
cess. said: ITO this man perhaps
more than any other, the success of
the loan was due" No country has
ever seen such an advertising cam
paign as the one which brought
hordes of gold tumbling into Eng
lands Golfers from all over the land.
and Jones personally had charge of
this campaign.
When the loan period expired.
England could not afford to let such
valuable agent and aggressive
leader return TO comparative obscur-
ity and he was enrolled under Lord
Devonport's banner with the title of
director general of food economy.
In him, the country is confident it's
vital problem will not long remain
unsolved
England has not yet awakened to
the reality of the crisis. Despite

The Bates County Club at the Uni
versity of Missouri

Some years ago at the University
of Missouri. a little band of students
from. Bates county organized a little
club in order that they might get to-
gether once in while between
quizzes to exchange bits of gossip and
share their lonliness with one anoth-
er. For several years the students
continued to hold their meetings
each year. of course, brought some
new students and lost some old ones,
and in the meantime they did much
to advertise the university in their
section of the state. But, it seems,
as time wore on the club wore out;
for some unaccountable reason in
terest Jagged and the old Bates
County spirit dwindled away until
there came time when it was entire
ly lost sight Of, and the Bates Coun-
ty Club was only pleasant memory.
This year the club has been revived
and reorganized with the hope that It
may be kept alive. There are about
twenty students from Bates County
in the university this year. and most
of them were present at the first busi-
ness meeting. November a. which
fact shows that everyone IS interest
ed and determined to make the club
a living success henceforth. For =
leader the club chose Donald c.
