SAVE THE FOOD SUPPLIES.

Seven years ago a famous EuropeaR
student of history prophesied that the
next great war of the future would not
be won by fighting but by famine We
are to-day fighting that war, and fam
inc is indeed threatening to be its ar
bitter.
Tho men of England, Scotland, Ire
land, France, Italy, and Belgium-our
allies--are fighting; they are not on
the farms The production OF food py
these countries has therefore been
greatly reduced. Even before the war
it was much less than the amount con-
sumed. The difference came wore large
ly from other countries than from
America. Now. this difference is great
er than ever. and, at the same time,
supplies can No longer come froni most
Of the other countries. They must now
come from America. Therefore. our al
lies depend on us for food as they have
never depended before, and they ask
us for II with right which they have
never had before. For to-day they ATE
doing the fighting, the suffering ami
dying--in our war.
We must send them the food they
have to have. We will send it. But we
can only do il by wise and loyal econ
omy of food on the part of every one
of us. We must stimulate our food pro-
duction organize our food handling.
eliminate ali the waste possible, sub
stitute as Largely as possible other foods
for wheat. beef. pork, dairy products.
and sugar and redIce consumption
where it is exc essive.
To accomplish these things is the
problem Of the United States Food Adj
ministration But this accomplishment
can come only from the combined per-
|sonal and voluntary service Of all the
people of the land. To that end we want
all the people to join the Food Admins

A LAWRENCE BOY WRITES
FROM CAMP ZACHARY TAYLOR

September 2S. 1917.
Big Sandy News,
Louisa, Kentucky.
To the people of Big Sandy, Ladies
and Gentlemen The Louisa boys ar
rived at Camp Taylcr about s o'clock
and can say we found it different to
what we thought 1t was. The boys all
say if they hod known what they dc
now they would have been here long
lago and for myself l know l would
have been here I realize there is slim
chance when we cross over. but its
like this, some ore will have to go and
1t had as well be me as any one else.
AS for myself I'm anxious to cross over
and 60 after the Kaiser, and the rest
of the Louisa boys seem to have the
same pep" in them l have. AS for OLD
Lawrence countys boys. there is moth
ing lacking as to pep" and the rest
of the Kentucky boys seem to appear
well. In regard to the rest of the States
represented here / can't say so much
for I'm not very well acquainted with
them.
We boys have always heard that
drafted men didn't get good treatment,
but l can straighton all that. l never
met better men thar our officers, we
get good food and plenty of it. We
have soldiers home of about seven
miles square. We are allowed to go
over the town on Wednesday and Sat-
urdays and Sundays and we get a pass
to go to Louisville most any time dur
ing these vacations Our drill hasn't
been very hard yet and they tell us Il
won't be very hard. We boys have lots
of fun during our vacations. We can
tel the people something when we re-
turn.
l don't really think there is as mucn
danger here as at home for they have
vaccinated me twice and say that's
only start, and a mans liable to get
snake tlt in old Kentucky. But it's
homo and we Kentucky boys love our
mountain country. You'll hear from us
boys again soon.
