ORGANIZATION
To Be Perfected for Food COnserya.
tion Campaign Notwithstanding
the Fact That Date Has
Been Advanced One
Week.

| The following letter has been sent
to the Precinct Colonels In the Food
Conservation Campaign:
! Maysville, KY, October Is, 1917.
Dear Colonel:
You Will see In the morning papers
that the Food Conservation Campaign
has been postponed to make way for
the Liberty Loan Bond. The Mason
County Food Conservation Committee
would be unwilling to do anything
that would interfere with the sale of
these bonds. But in our quiet com
munitieh there would be little PROS
pect Of conflict between these two ac-
tivities, and since we are ready for
work the Committees urges the Pre-
cinct Colonels to 60 right on perfect
ing their organization and securing
signatures to these cards. The ad.
ditional week is an advantage In CIV
ing us time to complete our WORK
without an uncomfortable sense Of
haste. The Committee especially
urges that the work go forward as
planned in Mason County, because the
Chairman Of the Committee has prev
ious engagements that will not per-
init her to continue in this work af-
ter October 28th.
| The Committee suggests that you
at once get the boundaries of your
Precinct and the number of families
in 1.-THE number will approximate
the number Of voters, which can be
gotten from election records. You
will need to know this number in or
der to know how many Captains you
need and this office will need to know
In order to know how many cards to
order for you.
Please appoint your Captains at
once and be ready to go to work with
the canvass as soon as the cards reach
us. They have been, or will be, ship
ped from Louisville to this office, Sec
ond floor Chamber of Commerce.
When they arrive we will telephone
you and you can come in and get
them.
Three Precincts have already re-
ported their organization completed
Maysville No. 3, Dieterich and Helena.
Let us make our plans so that the
canvass will be completed as soon as
possible and no family overlooked.
Faithfully yours,
FOOD CONSERVATION COMMITTEE
ALICE LLOYD, Chairman.

New Industry
For Omaha

Omaha is to have another large
wholesale millinery house. The build
ing at Twelfth and Farnam, vacated
by M. F. Shafer & Co., when they
move to their new plant this week,
has been rented already. The new
occupants are Thelie- Sharpe company,
formerly of Sioux City. This COM
pany is charging its territory by NOV
ing into this jobbing center. They
will keep their old business and sales
men, and i'll addition put on more
travelling men on opening their new
Omaha house. The significance of the
removal to Omaha of this large estab-
lished millinery house, is that it puts
this city distinctly on the map as
millinery market. There is now
variety amongst wholesale houses,
and buyers will no longer travel to
Kansas City an$further markets to
make their millinery selections
