Nobody's Too Old for Service

The State Council of Defense is insisting that
the combined effort of every man, woman and
child in Indiana, in fact in the whole United
States, is necessary to win the great war. This
underlying principle is correct one
No man is too old or too crippled, no woman
too feeble, and child too young to strike blow
for democracy The press is devoting columns
of space to show our citizens where and how
each of us may do his duty. Slackers are of two
kinds-the man who refuses to serve or adopts
subterfuges, and the man, woman and child who
waste instead of produce.
The New York Times, commenting editorial
" on the universal service demanded of US, points
out how we may do big things for our country
by merely doing some little ones. Read the ap-
pended editorial on the conservation of sugar,
and you will fully understand one thing that the
State Council of Defense is teaching:
People frequently express what presumably is sincere
that because of other physical dsqua

All they need do accomplish this result is to read
carefully and heed the successive appeals to be sparng

almost daily from the head of the Food Commission.
Mr. Hoover is not asking OF us to go hungry ana
