FOOD PLEDGE
OPENED OCT. 2S
Wood County Must Do It's Bit.

By order of President Wilson, the
date of the Hoover pledge card sign
ing campaign has been changed from
Oct. 21-25 to October % to November
4. The change was made because of
the Liberty Loan campaign, and that
it might be record breaking success
This nation wide pledge card cam
paign was ordered by the President
of the United States and every county
in every state is expected to do its
share of the work. Wood County will
be expected to cooperate in the work
Every family, hotel and restaurant
will be asked to sign a card.
Grand Rapids will be canvassed,
house to house by the Boy Scouts,
under the able leadership of Leonard
Kinister. 1t is possible they will in
clude in their canvass Biron, Port Ed
wards and Nekoosa.
All pledge cards will be filed with
the Federal Food Administrator at
the close of the campaign. Reports
will be made by each canvasser. Those
who fail to sign will be reported as
well as those who do sign. 1t is every
patriotic citizens duty to conserve
food and thus help win the war.
Remember the boy you cheered when
he marched away will stand knee deep
in trench mud He will endure all the
terrors of modern battle. That is his
bit. Your bit, perhaps is to save one
slice of bread day for him. The
cause of democracy must be fed as
well as armed Our allies are making
every possible sacrifice and effort to
reduce the consumption and reduce
waste. Most of the principal staples
are dealt out to the people under re
strictions. Fines up to $500 are i'm
posed on persons who through away
stale bread.
The four important foods that the
people must conserve are wheat, meat
sugar and fats. Use less. A big part
of this war is being fought out in the
American kitchen.

BRIGHT OUTLOOK
FOR THE i. S.

Chicago, H., Oct 81. : 81 believe
that after the war is over we are 60
ing to see the greatest business in the
United States that we have ever seen.
1t may not come the first year, but it
is coming"
This prophecy is made by Howard
Elliott of the Railroads War Board.
The movement of putting all the
railroads in the country under this
so-called War Board" continued Mr..
Elliott, sis of interest in another way
than simply in its aspect of giving a
higher efficiency for the use of the peo-
pie of the United States.
Some say that the putting together
of the railroads the way we have this
year, is an argument in favor of gov
eminent ownership.
II do not agree with that. | think
it means that the splendid initiative
of the American business man, that
has built up this great transportation
system that today is doing 20 to rs
per cent more than it ever did before,
even under the complicated conditions
that confront us-it means that the
initiative of the American business
man, is not too much fettered by small
and nagging restrictions, can do more
for the expansion of American bust
ness and the expansion of the country
than we could possibly obtain under
government ownership.
II say this because that is one of the
great problems that very likely will de-
velop out of this war, and those who
depend on a successful transportation
system are the men who will have to
help decide that great question by such
views as Congress gets from its con-
stituents all over the United States
