WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. "a
There is no truth in widely circulat-
ed statement that the Government ex-
poets to take food supplies from any
family. Both the Food Administra-
ton and the Department of Agricul-
ture join in a statement to counterfeit
what seems to be a deliberate propa-
ganda to the effect that the Govern
ment intends to take from every fam
lily all canned goods put up in excess
of 100 quarts.
This is only one of the variations
of the rumor, which has been widely
circulated. Another statement is that
the Government has been urging the
canning, drying, and preserving of
fruits and vegetables so that they will
be in a convenient form for the Gov
eminent to handle and transport when
it takes them away from the people.
Further elaboration is that these
goods are to be taken away from the
American homes and shipped to Eng
land.
y In one instance motorist stopped
at farmhouse to fill the radiator o,
his automobile. In the course of con
versation he casually inquired wheth-
er the farmers family was canning
all the surplus fruits and vegetables
in order to help conserve the food
supply. He was informed that the
farmer was not doing this because
the Government intended to take all
the canned goods away except a small
part of it actually needed by the fam.
| lily ITSELF
The authorities state emphatically
that no such course has ever been
contemplated by the Government On
the contrary, both the Department OF
Agriculture and the Food Administra.
ton are strongly urging housewives
to can and preserve, especially at this
time, all surplus fruits and vegetables
in order that the households them
selves may have a cheap and plentiful
supply Of food.

The Liberty Loan
BY Henry Dwight sedgwick
BY Henry Dwight sedGwicl
of the Vigilantse

The liberty loan is open TO the pub
lie, open to every man. woman and
child whose industry. economy, or good
fortune has put him or her into pos
session of $50.
Everybody wishes to serve his coun-
try. Young men from the ages of p
TO 80 stand ady TO serve in the army
when they may be called upon. Able
men in all businesses that touch mill.
tary preparations are already at work;
the heads and principal officers of rail-
roads. ship yards. steel factories, mu-
milton plants. and the hundred other
matters that are intimately connected
with military preparations. are giving
20 our country their intelligence. eX-
perience and time Other men beyond
the military age and many women find
a thousand different ways in which to
serve.
But apart from them ther are hun
dreds of thousands of people. millions,
who because they are too old, not
strong enough. or tied down in one way
or another, have not been able to find
anything that they can do for the coun-
try. They have been asking counsel of
their neighbors; they have been lying
awake at night wondering what they
can do.
Here is their opportunity. TIL coun-
try has come forward and asked each
man and woman and child. who has
$50 laid by to help in this particular,
simple way. 1t is a great boon.
When Oklahoma was thrown open to
settlers to take land for their own. the
would-be landown RS crowded to the
borders, ready and eager to cross the
line when the word should be given.
That is the precedent for all who can
take a share in tn preservation of
America nrights. The would-be settlers
in Oklahoma seized their privilege. Let
every man. woman and child who pos
sesses $50 laid by seize this privilege.

tween state and state. between city and

propriations in Hands of Sem
ate subcommittee.

Hearings on the legislative. executive
and judicial appropriation bill will be-
gin tomorrow morning before a sub
committee of the Senate appropriations
committee. Representatives of the
Federal Employees Union have request
ed a hearing on the matter of increas-
ed pay for the employees. They will
seek to have the increases provided in
the bill in the House made higher by
the Senate committee. 1t is understood
The subcommittee has before it a pro-
posed amendment by Senator Penrose

the House increases.
The District appropriation bill is
before the Senate committee also, and
it is expected that hearings on that
measure will be begun before another
subcommittee, headed by Senator. John

NEW YORK. January "A COM

that il should be adopted If 1t proved
