that he believed personally in their

DATES CHANGED
Food Pledge Card Campaign Deferred
From Oct. 21-2S to Oct. 2S-NOv. 4.

Due to the tremendous Importance
of the Liberty Loan campaign which

assistance available to sell Liberty
bonds, President Wilson has decided

Card Campaign until the week of Oct.
2S-Nov. A.
c. F. Coykendale of Madison, has
been assigned to Wisconsin by Mr..
Hoover, as special campaign mana
ger for this work. He will have per-
sonal charge of all details. 1t is very
essential that every family in Mara
thon county be seen and requested
to sign the pledge cards.
The campaign in Wausau is in charge
of Mrs. w. H. Nablo, of the County
Council of Defense, who has appoint
ed the following assistants: Mrs. c.

KEEP MEATLESS AND
WHEATLESS DAYS
Unite Wherever it is Possible and Save
Wood and COal-It is Your
Patriotic Duty.

We hear much about patriotism
these days, but with it all you will
find but very few even of the ultra,
dyed-in-th ewool patriots, who will do
Just look about you and see how many
are strictly keeping meatless and
wheatless, days. We will venture to
say that there is not a family in the
county who can say truthfully mo
meat is used in our home on Tues
day and that nothing with wheat in
it is used in our home on Wednesday,
If these days are not observed strict
ly by everyone, how is Mr.. Hoover or
anybody else going to carry out his
plans?
Our people might as well commence
now to do what the food commission
ers want they should do, if not, and
this war is prolonged, ss it surely will
be, there will be such a scarcity of food
in this country as was never known
before.
There is a good deal Of talk about
the fuel shortage and yet, not one will
do anything to help the situation.
What is needed, as c. B. Bird, presi-
dent of the Council of Defense, has
said is to burn less wood and coal
He has pointed out way whereby
churches can assist in a large way
in this conservation of wood and coal
Yet, up to this date, nc one has heard
of a movement to close churches and
hold services, prayer meetings etc, in
one central building, which is heated
all the time
Enough fuel can be saved in various
ways to materially assist in making
it possible for those who must keep
their homes warm, to be in a measure
provided for. Even in the home this
conservation of fuel must be entered
| into as we'll as in the saving of food.
Let's do more conserving and less
| talking. From now on let us OBJ
| serve the meatless and wheatless days
and let us cut off heating rooms that
we can do without.
