In full justification of the convie-
tion that the people of Marion county,
in all walks of life, stand ready to re-
lspond to any call made upon them IN
the interests of their country, univer-
sal peace and prosperity, stands the
prompt rallying of the young attor-
lneys of Salem to the call for speakers
in the national food administration s
food conservation campaign.
In response sto an appeal 9voiced
through the medium of the Capital
Journal several of the rising young
attorneys of Salem have placed their
services at the. disposal Of Chairman
George T. Watson of the speakers
committee of the Marion county food
administration and have accepted as
signments to speak at mass meetings
called to learn more about the objects
and necessities of the fcDd substitution
movement. Mr.. Watson can use many
others and it is to be hoped that they
will come forward when they realize
their services are needed in this right
eous cause.
Colonel j. M. Poorman Of Woodburn,
will address a mass meeting of citl-
zens at Gervais tonight upon the IS
sues of the food campaign. Walter y.
Winslow is scheduled to address a
meeting at Marion tomorrow evening;
Guv Smith will talk to the people OF
Macleay school district; Elmo S. White

evening. At $3.50 tomorrow afternoon
Superintendent John w. Todd, of the
Salem schools, will deliver an address
at Middle Grove school.
The educational work in the schools
of the city and county is bearing good
fruit and the children are displaying
wonderfully patriotic interest IN tho
study, as well as their parents with
whom they discuss the issues OF the
food campaign when at home. The ehll
dren are being given practical study
course. with the home card as the basis
of instruction, and many interesting
and impressive methods are used in
cultivating thought in the minds OF
the children as well as in the parents
One instance, that of the Washing
ton school in this city, is brought out
prominently from the fact that the
teachers request the children to bring
recipes to the school showing how the
concentrated foods may be saved and
the more perishable and abundant
foods substituted therefor. The chill
dren hunt through every source OF III,
formation and dig up wholesome and
appetizing dishes and take them to
the school where they are copied and
the children exchange and take new
.recipes home. This innovation is arous-
ing great interest and enthusiasm In
the work and is bound to be product
i've of beneficial results. :.
