COL. ROOSEVELT MAKES
PLEA FOR FOOD SAVING
Asks That Generous Support Be
Given Herbert Hoover and
His Coworkers.
By THEODORE ROOSEVELT,
In the kansas City Star.

Mr.. Hoover has been appointed as
the man to lead US of this nation in
the vitality important matter of pro-
ducing and saving as much food as We
possible can, in order that we can send
abroad the largest possible amount for
the use of our suffering allies and for
the use of our own gallant soldiers
Mr.. Hoover's pre- eminent services in
Belgium pointed him out as. of the
men in this country. the man most fit
for the very position to which he has
been appointed. Let us give him our
most hearty and loyal support.
III this great and terrible war the
slaughter, starvation and exhaustion
are on Il scale never before known
They are nationwide. Therefore. ev-
cry individual of every nation enga Sed
must do his full! part or else must be
held to have failed in his duty. The
man of fghting-ege must fight. The
man with especial business capacity or
mechanical skill must produce arms
or equipment or ammunition. And ev-
cry man woman or child must help
produce food il possible And in any
event must help economize it.
Mr.. Hoover has asked US during this
week to devote ourselves to getting all
our people voluntarily to pledge them
selves to certain forms of food econ
only. which gre Of greet consequence
frcm the standpoint of sending abroad!
the foodstuffs needed by our allies and
by our own troops. There are certain
foods which are easily Transported
whicl, are nourishing and which are
peculiarly suited for the use both of
our allies and of our troops in the field.
Mr.. Foover's plan is that we shall all
Of us voluntarily limit along strict
lines our consumption of these food
products and replace them by other
foods which are not suitable for send
ing abroad, and that we shall rfsidly
avoid waste. Full particulars are given
in nj, Nv Nv.
Hoover from his Washington bureau
of food conservation.
What Mr.. Hoover asks entails not
the slightest real hardship on any of
us. It merely requires each of US to
exercise a little self-control and per-
haps 20 make some trivial sacrifice of
nersonal preference in what we eat
Surely this is very. very small serv-
ice to be rendered by US stay-at-homes
in support of our sons and brothers
who have gone or are going to risk
their lives in battle for US and man
kind.

TO DO AWAY WITH WRAPS

A prominent fruit man wonders why

wraps altogether on citrus fruit, stat
ing that such fruit is unwrapped in
the dealers windows and when bought
by the consumer. He says that the

an investigation of the question i'm
perative. The matter was brought to
the attention of Lewis B. Flohr, in
vestigator in marketing by parcels

post for the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. who states that
he will conduct a series OF evperi-
ments to determine whether or not
fruit shipped unwrapped decays faster
than when it is wrapped
Our argument would be that fruit
shipped unwrapped would get better
ventilation and so keep better than
otherwise, but we do not consider that
the whole question. Whether or not
dealers would take to an unwrapped
pakage is the vital point. 1t is sug-
gested that with the row opposite the
cracks in the box and the top layer
wrapped. the buyer would be just as
wei satisfied and would not make dis
ordination between box SO packed
and one with every fruit wrapped.
Certainly the elimination of wrap
ping paper would decrease the cost OF
packing a box of fruit. The employ
ees packing fruit could no doubt in
crease their speed nearly double il no
wraps were used, and any man or
woman of ordinary intelligence could
become a good packer in a few days
time, whereas it now takes season
to make a really good packed and this
is almost wholly owing to the wrap.
1t has been stated that it costs more
to wrap a box of oranges than it does
to sell it.-Florida Grower.

A MIGHTY COMET COMING

Unless something unexpected &C.
ours the world will witness next
lspring greatly heavenly phenomenon
"a mighty comet blazing forth night
latter night with it's tail sweeping an
immense arc through the heavens, "a
source of terror to the superstitious
and Of intense interest to all.
Comet B, 1916 is the name of the
stranger. 1t is SO called because it
was the second comet discovered dur
ing the year 1916. Professor Wolf,
'of Koenigstuhl, detected the rushing
bodys faint picture on photograph
plate last April and proceeded to tele-
graph the news to the observatories
all over the world with great joy.
The statement that the new comet
will be monster rests principally on
the fact that it was discovered when
fully 400,000.0OO miles from the earth,
just within the orbit of the great plan
ct Jupiter.
All comets increase greatly in size
and brilliancy as they approach the
sun. If such proves to be the case
this time, Comet B, 1915" should
make great impression.
From now on until May, conditions
will become increasingly favorable for
observation. In few months the
comet should be visable to the naked
eye in parts of the earth suitably sit
uated.
At present the comet is approaching
the earth at rate or more than
million miles a day-but not in a di-
rect line. 1t is now situated in the
sky just north OF the constellation
Libra and about Is degrees northwest
of the upper end of the Scorpion.
These constellation are near the sun,
appearing in the early hours just pre-
ceding sunrise
On January l the comet was still
more than 3o0.OOO,0cO miles away.
Its perihelion passage or nearest ap-
proach to the sun, is due next June.
The path of the comet has not yet
been accurately plotted, but dozens
of astronomers are working on it with
complex tables and extensive mathe-
NAUTICAL calculations.-Exchange.

 WHO KNOWS OWN
 FORD, SAYS WEACE

Discretion is said to De the better part of valor, but the lack of this virtue does not necessarily indicate a lack of nerve. Thus muses Fred Weage deputy United States marshal.
 Fred has a Ford, and thereby hangs the tail Fred drives his car to and from work, and while at work, is in the habit of leaving it across the street from the Sun drug store. He left it there yesterday morning as usual But when he came out to ride home to lunch the car was gone.
 Being well versed in the art of scenting clew, Fred did as all good detectives do, prepared to light a cigar and think. He stepped into the Sun drug store for light, and incidentally remarked to Mir Loury, manager, that his car had been stolen.
 T was sure of it. said the druggist, T saw him take it.''
 Saw who take it?' inquired the startled deputy
 T might as well confess to my part in the crime" was the answer. My clerk asked me for the key to my car to go home to lunch Twas busy and just handed it over to him. I thought 1 saw him get into another car and drive off but I really didn't realize it until he was gone.
 "Yes, yes,-go on," interrupted the officer
 Well, he'll be back in an hour Whats the charge?"
 "The price of my lunch" snapped Fred, and phoned his wife not to wait any longer.

Unless there is a noticeable increase in the number of men employed the audito- rum will not be ready for occupancy when the remainder of the buildings are ready for use in the early autumn.
 There has been remarkable growth in the schools of Glendale in the past year. Four new teachers will be em- ployed in the grades next season, bringing the teaching staff up to F in all
