hardly realized that the call had
been made. Thirty four of the
men are from Iowa and the re-

are to become part of the Twen-

of physical ability and general
intelligence, every man being
picked" The Minnesotians
are practically all lumberjacks

. r|ne Of the most vital problems con-
: tonting the American people today is
ne necessity Of supplying our allies
nth something to eat. Europe is short
of food. She must have bread and but
ter. Millions of bushels of wheat, as
well as huge quantities of beef, pork,
sugar and dairy products are actually
needed. If the world Ia to be made
safe for democracy, America must come
to the rescue of those who fight for us
and with us-NVITH FOOD.
Herbert Hoover, United States food
administrator, avs it can be done II
every true American will eat less of
these particular foods and more of 9TH
er foods Of which we have an abund-
Ance but which cannot be shipped a
long distance, and to waste less of all
foods.
In order to get IN expression Of faith
who purchase and consume food daily,
that zach family will do everything in
it's power to conserve the food of Amer
lea that the allies may have enough to
eat, both on the lnttle field and at
home, the United States food admin
istrator has launched q nation wide

necessary to feed our fighting friends
