Food Conservation Move ment Gaining HeadWay and Every One
 Is Busy:
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
Will Be Selected at the Meeting to Be Held Saturday in the
 EIkS' Hall.

A battery of speakers will open a barrage fire in the interests of the Food Conservation Movement at a meeting to be held Saturday evening in Elks' Hall, at which time an exc cutive committee will be appointed to systemize the work throughout the Territory. On Saturday evening also rapid-fire speakers will talk a few minutes in each of the moving picture houses.
 The speakers have been tentative ly selected, but their names will not be announced until they have been notified and assurance is had from them that they will appear as per schedule.
 "The movement is full of great possibilities" said George F. For rest, one of the directing spirits to- day, "and the newspapers should boom it along"
 "In fact" continued MT. Forrest, mot only will the cooperation of leading men in the interests of food conservation result in thrift and economy for the average American family, but will practically revolu- tionize present methods of doing business and save waste in transact ing business. The decision of the butcher shops to do away with de- liveries and of the possible plan of groceries to have one delivery a day are all in line with the movement"
 Competition" said a merchant to- day, "is not always the life of trade The time is coming when one delivery wagon will cover cer- tain districts for several stores, in stead of each store having a deliv- cry wagon, and several of them mak- ing trips to the same block. Every time a delivery wagon is sent out with a few articles it means that much more cost to the consumer. Business methods of all kinds are greatly in, need of reform and it looks as though the present war is bringing about these by directing the minds of men towards economy and cooperation"

The adolesccnt years are those In

anything that older human beings can
