SIGN FOOD SAVING PLEDGE

For several weeks the Express has
been printing the food conservation
pledge which Herbert Hoover, nation
al food administrator, is asking every
housekeeper in America to sign
Many women have already signed the
pledge and mailed it to Washington
receiving an attractive card bearing
the inscription, Member T. S. Food
Administration, which is to be dis
played in their homes, together with
some specific instructions as to how
they can serve their country in the
kitchen. IT is to be hoped that every
housekeeper in Chickasha, who has
not already done so, will hasten to
comply with the governments request
1t is one way to do your bit toward
helping America to win the war. How
important this matter is was indicated
in a statement issued by Mr.. Hoover
following his official appointment a
few days ago. In part the statement
follows:
