W. c. T.. U. on Food Production

TIE members of the W. c. 7. U. of
Selmer, realizing that our country
now faces tremendous crisis, that it
is weighted with staggering burdens
in that it is engulfed in war, possibly
long and exhausting. that not the
least problem confronting our states
men today is how our millions are to
be fed during the time the war lasts,
that in this time of grave national
danger each man, woman and child
should do all within their power to
help where their help will be most
availing, and desiring as patriotic
American women to do our full share
in this world struggle, we spent the
greater part of the hour at our reg
ular meeting April 18th. in a discus
sion of the question, what is our
duty as an individual and as society
to our country in the present crisis?"
A close study of the food situation,
high prices, scarcity of certain CON-
modities, etc. was entered into. Para
graph reviews from many newspapers,
containing significant words of warn
ing, statistics of food production, the
insistent demand for larger supply
of food products and advice as to
how best to husband our resources,
coming from the heads of the Depart
ment of Agriculture and other food
experts, had been collected and were
read by several members. 1t was our
unanimous opinion that our first duty
is to conserve the food supply. Each
woman showed herself to be willing
and eager to join the food prepared
ness army, and the many suggestions
offered took concrete form in res
olution to undertake four things:
First, to see that every available foot
of ground in our gardens and vacant
lots is planted to food stuffs; that we
propose to work hard ourselves and
be interested in it, regardless of bis
tered hands and aching backs. Sec
Hond, to can, preserve and take care of
stock of the fruits and vegetables
we raise ample for the needs of our
own families and try to have a sur
plus to dispose of to those who have
not the land or the opportunity to
supply themselves. Third, To enlist
the children by giving them a plot to
tend, encouraging them to believe
they are helping the United States
and to further instill in them a spirit
Of thrift and economy. Fourth, to
help in the effort the leaders are
making to arouse the people and es-
pecially the negroes who, unless they
can be induced to become self sup
porting will be parasites, sucking the
substance Of the land that should go

BILE results she had obtained from the
use Of Tanlac, the medicine that is
accomplishing such wonderful results
in the south.

10 IL mat there was fair play. even
going so far that his position in the

part Of Terence kavanagh in an ex-
cellent manner
The play contained number of
thrilling situations as we'll as many
humorous situations and portrayed life
IN Ireland as It really is at the pres
