Governor II. C. Stuart has extended
invitations to Governor Richard l.
Manning. OF South Carolina, and Gov
ernor T. w. Beckett. Of North Caro-.
lima, to meet DR.. Mott. Although &C.
either executive. the fact that they
have not sent regrets Is construed to
mean they are making every effort to
lay aside their official business duties
Governor Manning is warm sup
porter of the Y. NJ. C. a. movement
having been an active member OF the
North and South Carolina for sixteen
years.
Acceptances from welt-known cut

1t was stated yesterday that twice this

Of them are from the West End. or

War between the American colonies and Great Britain was fought over a mere technicality when compared to the principles which were at stake in the present conflict"
 MT. Rustgards speech was follow ed by selection from the orches- tra, and the next number was a vo- cal solo by H. D. Bishop, and a violin solo by R. D. Anderson. Both MT. Bishop and MT. Anderson delight ed the audience with their selec tions and both were encored.
 The chairman then introduced Judge Gunnison, who spoke at length on the subject, and made a very able address, which displayed an in innate knowledge of the subject in detail. He reviewed the conditions in Europe brought on by the war and the diversion of so many mil lions of those who had formerly been engaged in agriculture. to the work of fighting and manufacturing war materials He called attention to the serious shortage of essential foods in the whole world; and told the audience how this shortage could be remedied. He urged ev- cry one in the communities of Gas tineau Channel to do their duty so that When our boys come back from the battlefields of Europe, we may be able to look them in the face and say that we, too had done our part"
 The chairman extended the thanks of the Food Conservation organiza- ton to the High School Orchestra md Prof. Sumpf for the delightful music furnished by them; and he tated that Juneau should be proud of such talent. Many present were delightfully."- surprised at the excel ent showing made by the young musicians.
 The speakers at the theatres for this evening will be Grover C. Vim tt the Dream, J. A. Hellenthal at he Palace and J. H. Cobb at the Coliseum.
 Last evening meeting was held t Thane addressed by R. E. Rob Artson on the subject of food conser- yation. Mir Robertson went into he details of the subject and in a very able manner pointed out the great necessity for saving food at his time.
 A large audience was in attend lnce and the speaker was greeted with prolonged applause.
 Tomorrow night meeting will be leld at the Perseverance mine, which will be addressed by Judge 2. A. Gunnison. It is expected that there will be a large attendance.

FOOD NEEDED

 Night BOND USELESS Unless the American Peo- pie Eliminate Waste
 Under Voluntary
LIBERTY BOND USELESS

Without the conservation of food the recent $5.000,000 Liberty Bond sale will prove useless. American soldiers and the Allies must have food from the United States to win the war. England normally is but one-fifth self-sustain- ing; France is but one-half and Italy is but two-thirds. In Europe today the nations are under compulsory food ra tions. Americans are asked to volunteer the service. Un- less they respond, the gov ernment will be forced to ra- tion out the food. By the elimination of waste the All lies and American soldiers can be supplied with all that will be needed. The idea of conserving and cutting down extravaganza and eliminating waste, is sound and for the benefit of the nation. This war for democracy reaches the heart of every American home.

Last evening very enthusiastic meeting was held in the interest of food conservation at Elks' Hall. The speakers were Mr. John Rustgard and Judge Gunnison and the meet ing was presided over by II. L., Faulkner.
 The Rev. MT. Bruce, of the Pres byterian Church opened the meeting with prayer.
 The chairman announced with re- gret that Mrs. Robert Cragg, who was to have addressed the meeting, of serious throat trouble which had developed within the last day. He promised, however, that the commit tee would give the public an oppor- tunity to hear Mrs. Cragg on the subject at a later date, as there would be many other meetings and more campaigns to keep the import ant matter of food saving before the public.
 Mir. Rustgard's address was prin- cipally on the matter of substitut- ing fish for meat, particularly in Alaska; and he called the attention of the audience to the extent of our wealth in our fisheries, which was not appreciated by the people; and he compared our resources in that respect with those of European coun tries. His speech was not only in teresting but it was very instructive He alluded to the conditions which led the United States into the wal and stated That the Revolutionary
