CHURCH CONSERVATION FOOD
SUNDAY

A letter has been sent to al
the Ministers Of Religion in the Uni
ted States asking them to celebrate
first Sunday in July as a Food Con
servation Day, and to preach to
their congregation upon this vital
subject.
The following are excerpts from
the letter addressed to Ministers by
Mr.. Hoover, chairman of the U. S.
Commission on Conservation OF
Food.
my dear Doctor
"In the great National food crisis
which confronts US, crisis SO great
that the President himself has taken
it up, ask for your interest and as
sistance. AS minister Of God, a
leader Of the people, and lover of
liberty and of your fellow-man, your
cooperation is earnestly desired and
greatly needed.
"In such q time as this, the people
turn naturally to the church. 1t will
be a calamity to the Nation and to
the churches if their chosen minis
tiers neglect to exercise their proper
leadership in the great cause of
feeding a world in need.
''For the world is in want of food.
The wheat crop Of 1916 was short.
The crop of 1917 will be shorter
still, while the demands Of armies
and the waste Of war require enlarg-
ed consumption. Thus with increas-
ed need and diminished supply, the
world stock Of food has reached
point lower than was ever known
before in modern times.
'The waste in food amounts at
least to fifty dollars a year for
every family in America. The waste
Of q single ounce Of food each day
in every home means yearly waste
Of nearly 500 million pounds Of
food. The waste Of q single slice Of
bread each day in every home means
the daily waste Of million loaves Of
bread. The thousand million dollars
Of needless waste which thus takes
place in die household Of America
can and should be stopped.
again I ask for your coopera-
ton. Let US work together in whole
hearted response to the patriotic
duty which we are called. Let Us
make it the purpose and the motto
Of every household in America to
Save the Waste and Win the war {"
Faithfully yours,
Herbert Hoover.

Thought for Nations Birthday.
That there are many of our people
who hold their blessings cheap, or at
least take them as matter of course,
cannot be doubted. It is well, therefore,
that we should all be reminded that
they were won at great cost, and have
been preserved by men and women
who counted no sacrifice too painful If
it were made in the cause of liberty.
The comforts and luxuries that we en-
joy, the peace and security that are
ours, and the liberty Of which we are
so proud we owe to those who were
willing to suffer and die in order to
win them for their posteritY.

l. Use powdered Arsenate of
Lead reduced with equal parts of
very fine ashes, air slaked lime or
fine road dust. Flour may be used
if the price is not prohibitive.
Method-Put the reduced Ar

be given to boys who are in the
first and second year high school.
They should be physically fit, of
the highest moral character and
should be recommended by at least
three prominent business men or

This military academy is one of
the most widely known and best
equipped in the United States,
having a national patronage, The
scholarship was only made availa-
BILE to The Chronicle through va
cancies caused by lunior cadets
entering Officers Reserve Training
Corps, and makes the cost Of board
and tuition very low.
Ournation's great need for mill
tary trained men in every walk of
life makes this an unusual oppor-
tunity for some Benton County
boy. Application should be made
direct to this office where cata-

urging well-known institution to
supply them with hundreds of
young and middle-aged ladies to
take the places of young men who
will be drafted, and Government
officials are quoted as saying that

longer. This institution has also
received from the United States
Government letters saying that the
Government needs many lady ste-
nographers, at salaries ranging
from 5000 to ST, 200 a year to begin
on.
Patriotic ladies-ladies who love
their country-will make material
manifestation of their patriotism
by helping their country, by serv-
ing it now, when it needs help and
service. Ladies who are willing to
show their patriotism thus-to do
their duty by their Government by
giving it their aid, serving as SUBJ
stitutes for men who are at the
front or preparing to go to the
front, and thus keep active and
normal the commercial affairs of
their country-ladies who are will
ling to prepare for this work and to
do it should communicate with the

will make preparation for these

secured; and all these positions
