This is the official announce

Mr.. Andrews. "It will begin Octo-

every one will help. Our pubs
licity organization is absolutely stu
pendous. The churches, the lodges,
the schools, the th%eaters, the news
papers, the Council of National De-
fense-all will have a hand in bring
ing our message to the people.
1.-THE population Of the United
States is over 100, 900, 900. We esti-
mate there are $1,000, 900 families.
Every family will be invited to join
the food army.

1.-THE whole idea is democratic to
the core. The idea of a democracy
is mutual service and if a democracy
can not command the services of it's
people voluntarily, if it does not
create that feeling of service in their
hearts, then the grave question is
raised whether a democracy is worth
while at all.
Everybody must get away from
the idea that there is anything com
prlsory in this campaign. The peo-
pie will pledge themselves to do GER
tain things, and If they fail, there is
no comeback. It is a matter between
them and their W consciences.
Nobody is going to starve. No
body is asked to cut down ON food
consumption. What the food admin
istration asks is the substitution Of
certain foods of equal nutritive value
for other foods people are accus-
toned to use. A great shortage ex-
lists in wheat, butter fats, sugar and
meat. They must be conserved. We
can substitute corn and potato flour
for wheat. If 25,000,000 families
each save a %teaspoonful Of sugar a
day for every member of that fam.
lily, 1t means 100, 900, 900 teaspoon
fuls saved daily, or $4,000 pounds
or 70 tons. France is suffering for
sugar. Cottonseed oil and its pro-
ducts can share with butter in home
consumption for cooking. One meat
less day a week will conserve the
beef, pork and ham supply.
by June, next, America will have
an army Of 10000 900 men available
Tor service. Behind this army is the

all of this material into q team that

"a leader and constructor Of ball
teams is born not manufactured,

what tutelage he was under. No man
can duplicate the personality Of an
other. We even find the assertion
demonstrated in one man trying to tell
another mans story. The changing
of the manner Of telling the story
loses its flavor in the way it is told.
So it is in the handling OF a ball
team. Some men have not the force
