The Food Training Camp to be con-
Quoted in connection with the Min
nesota State Fair, Sept. to 8, is ex-
pected to prove one of the strongest
cards in the governments food con-.
servation campaign in this section OF
the country.
The food training camp movement
Is gathering force every day; public
interest is becoming aroused; practic-
ally every organization in this state
taking part in the food conservation
work is cooperating to make the camp
a success; the government has en-
dorsed and is now helping to direct
the movement and the exhibitors at
the fair are offering to do their share
In making it a success.
Practically every department at the
fair will take a part in the work Of
food training. Virtually all of the ex-
emphasis upon the necessity of con.
serving our food supplies. Lecturers
and demonstrators will be on hand to
eyr lail the food problems which now
confront the American people, the plan
being, not only to impress upon all
visitors to the fair the necessity Of
making an economical use of food, but
to show specific ways in which every
man, woman and child may do share.
Government Enthusiastic.
The government, particularly, is en-
thusiastic over the possibilities the
food training camp offers for teaching
food efficiency. Not only Mr.. Hoover,
food administrator, but President Will
son, himself, and the Department of
Agriculture have endorsed the camp.
It is the plan of the government to
make the most of the opportunities
offered by sending out lecturers and
demonstrators to speak at the fair,
and by arranging series of exhibits
by the different government depart.
ments, including the Army, Navy, Ag-
ricultural and Mr.. Hoover's food de-
partment.
The government sees in the food
training camp, for one thing, the pos.
sibility of reaching, in a result-getting
manner, the men and women of the
rural districts and from the farm. This
has been one Of the governments big
problems in it's food conservation cam
paign.

INTEREST INCREASES IN FOOD CAMP

difficult to reach because of the many
clubs and other organizations which
already exist and which have taken up
the food conservation work. AS large
part of the attendance at the Min
nesota State Fair comes from the ru-
raj districts, the food training camp,
the government believes, offers good
opportunity to reach them with d.
rect appeal.
For, it is necessary that they be
reached If the fruits and other food
products, grown in abundance, are to
be saved and prevented from going
to waste.
The livestock exhibits and the ex-
hibits and demonstrations to be put
on by the dairy department Of the
University Farm are other depart
ments in which valuable food eff
cheney work will be done. The direc-
tors of the fair are urging greater
production of meat by working for
large exhibits of livestock so that the
farmer may study the different types
and breeds and decide as to which is
best for the purpose.
To Develop Herds.
Much of the effort of the University
Farm will be directed to the develop
ment of more efficient dairy herds and
to the utilization of all possible dairy
products. Much milk, especially skim
milk, goes to waste in this state every
year, and the dairy exhibits will point
out the way to make use of all this
food which is now, being wasted.
! In order to make the food training
camp the greatest possible success in
order that both the government and
the people may derive the maximum
benefit from it, the Minnesota State
Fair directors are endeavoring to make
the exposition a record breaker in all
departments this year.
AS one way of encouraging attend
ance, plans have been outlined for ma
terially increasing the exhibits, and
a greater variety of amusement and
entertainments features have been Sc
cured.
Auto races, aviation, vaudeville, and
a number Of big spectacles, including
the "War of the Nations gigantic
display in which the famous British
tanks and the other great forces o!
modern, warfare are seen in action
are some Of the entertainment fea
! lures.

A Choice
Of Sides
The Cloud That Came Be-

By ELNoR MARSH

Something more than half century
ago there occurred in America great
convulsion pertaining to human lib
erty.
Up to that time it was the most stu

Importance.
No one, except aged persons, has
seen the palmy antebellum days in
the southern states, when the patri-
archal system was in vogue, when
the planter was considered sort of
sovereign, when his family were ele-
waited to virtue and restrained from
vice by sense of noblesse oblige.
All this has given place to what we
call progress. But progress is liable
to take a step backward in putting on
new apparel, and the south today has
new vigor in her veins.
Colonel Joseph Archibald was typi-
cal southern planter. In 1880 he had
lived half century and had not kept
pace with the times. He wore ruff
fed Shirt. brass buttons on his coat
and a hat of real beaver-that is, in
winter. In summer he wore an ex-
pensiye panama straw. The colonel
had no real right to his title. Any
southern man of prominence in those
days was likely to be dubbed general,
colonel or major, to distinguish him
from the commoner or the man who
did not own many acres and many
negroes.
Colonel Archibald's family consisted

Of that period was misjudged because
there were persons In the south who
were too ready to talk about theil
honor and too hot In its defense. Bu1
& the real southern gentleman Of the mid
nineteenth century was an inheritance
of those splendid men who brought
about the birth of nation.
Not far from the Archibald planta
