and for ourselves Get into the Food Pledge Week Campaign. Make your kitchen a Food Pledge Kitchen and do all you can to make all other kit chens Food Pledge kitchens. You will thus help win the war"
 The U S. Food Administration to- night expressed it's anxiety that the 500,000 men and women volunteers who go up and down the land ringing doorbells this week put "the simple though vitally important food conser- vation plan clearly before every house. wife, impressing upon each the real significance of the old song:
 Every Little Bit, added to What You've got, Makes Just a Little Bit More"
 It is the Little Bit" added by each i of our 22,000000 housewives, which is going to make up the food shortage and avert famine and disaster among our European Allies, the Administra- tion points out.
 ! President Wilson has evinced his personal interest in the importance of i Food Pledge Weeks success.
 ''If We are to supply our Allies with | the necessary Food" said the Presi- dent in a letter to the Food Admins trator anent Food Pledge Week, "and are to reduce our own prices of food stuffs during the comnig winter it can only be accomplished by the ut most self-denial and service on the part of all our people through the el- i animation of waste and by rigid econ omy in the use of food" i Recent cables to the American gov ernment from the government of ] France have stressed the imminent food shortage in that country and begged that no effort be spared to get the needed supplies to keep hunger from descending upon the people of ! France
 Thousands of school children will fol- i low up the work of the 500,00O volun- teers. These children have been or ganized and working on preliminary Food Pledge Week campaign through out the country for weeks. The same l is true of the churches. i Besides the churches, societies. lodges and other local social and civic organizations are working with the  volunteers. Many hotel and restau- rant men have enlisted their estab- ! lishments in the campaign and will do their bit to get the housewives inter- ested
 Judging by preliminary estimates of enrollments in the various states, based on reports from the volunteer units themselves, the vast majority of the country's 22,OOO,OOO housewives will be actively enrolled in the cam paign when it ends week from Mon day.
