One Of the many things that we

by the setting OF Il minimum price

no maximum price fixed, the general
public will be always at the mercy Of

any reason not obtainable in Quanti-

still leave fair and honest margin

The HOOVER PLEDGE CARD
CAMPAIGN
ITO BE CONTINUED }.

Madison, Wis, - Magnus Swenson,
State Food Administrator, makes the
following appeal to the people in be-
half of the Hoover Pledge Card Cam
paign during the week of October % to
November 4:
LAS State Food Administrator, and
in behalf of Herbert Hoover and the
men and women who are unselfishly
giving their time for the conservation
of food. ask every citizen of the state
to help establish one more record for
Wisconsin. This food conservation
campaign is to reach its height, if the

that week we want to be able to report
to Washington that every home in
Wisconsin has pledged itself to aid in
the food conservation.
Our meatless and wheatless days are
being observed in many homes, but
every table in Wisconsin should serve
these patriotic meals On these days. I
ask every woman to sign the food
pledge card and to live up to it until
the war is won.'

DRAFT MEASURE
RUNS GAUNTLET
OF OPPOSITION

WASHINGTON. April 30-The ad-
ministration bill to raise an army by
CONSUMPTION. although passed by both
houses Saturday, had to run the
gauntlet of minor opposition again to-
day in the senate, where there was a
chance of reopening the whole debate
by amendments, Senators Lafollette.
Gronna and others threatened to offer.
The two houses passed two bills, es-
sentially the same but technically diff
ferent, and the house bill now has to
be passed by the senate.
After passage which the measures
friends hoped would be tonight or to-
morrow, it will go to conference and
probably will be ready for the presi-
dents signature before the week end.
In conference the main differences to
be harmonized are the variance of
maximum ages of men liable to draft,
fixed at 81 by the senate and 40 by
the house; the senate's approval and
the houses rejection of an amend
ment TO let Col. Roosevelt recruit a
volunteer force, and the senate prohi-
bition of liquor selling to soldiers in
uniform, or near training camps.
