LIBRARY RECEIVES FOOD
Saving Manuals From National Emergency
Food Garden Commission.

Food Garden Commission.
The librarian of the Belfast Free Lii
brary today received from the National
Emergency Food Garden Commission of
Washington a bundle of storage manuals
for distribution in the food saving cam
paign. These manuals are free and addi-
tional copies can be had by readers of
this paper by writing to Charles Lathrop
Pack, president of the National Emer-
gency Food Garden Commission, 21O-22O
Maryland building, Washington, D. C.
The Commission has been conducting
nation wide food saving campaign since
last March and is now offering S5, 600 in
prizes for the best canned vegetables
grown in war gardens. This has result
ed in the organization of war garden ex-
hibits throughout the country. P. S.
Ridsdale, the secretary of the Commits
sion, says there are still few prizes and
national certificates of merit to be appor-
toned to this State and that officials of
war garden exhibits or fairs should COM
municate with the Commission at once.
A close estimate, based on early re-
ports to the Commission, says the wom-
en- of the country have placed 400, 600, 900
Jars of canned stuff on the pantry shelves
this year and that all food conservation
records have been broken.

To The Republican journal, Belfast, Me.
Dear Mr.. Editor:-I have had some in
ouries from your section concerning an
Act of Congress, which passed the last
4ay of the session, October 9th last, in
rreasing the rate of pension for widow
d. an officer or enlisted man of the Army,
Navy or Marine Corps of the U. S. who
served in the Civil War, the War with
SPAIN or the Philippine Insurrection, to
rs 90 per month. This does not include
Widows of men in the Regular Army,
Navy or Marine Corps, who did not serve
in said wars.
have taken this matter up with the
Commissioner of Pensions, who informs
ne that widows affected by this legisla-
aon are not required to make any appli-
cation or to 60 to any expense whatever
n connection with the matter. The pen
son office will communicate directly with
zach widow affected and will doubtless do
50 as soon as the routine work of his
Office will permit
If by any accident or mistake pension
able widow does not hear from the PEN
son office within reasonable time, if
sae will communicate with me, | will
ave the matter Strengthened out.
think it would be benefit to num-
her of people in your locality if you
would publish this in your valuable

Since May 1st, the railroads of the
country have reduced their passenger
service by approximately 25, 900, 900 miles.
This saving has released thousands of
train crews and locomotives for freight
service. The campaign to make one car
do the work of two has resulted in a
similarly great saving of half million
freight cars, enabling approximately 25
per cent more freight cars to be moved
since war was declared than during the
corresponding period last year.

Oh f-cuHsyIVHhia.)
I believe that the rehabilitation of
our national merchant marine is to-
day an economic necessity. We are
devoting our energies now to sup
plying munitions to the warning ma
tons and to the building of ships for
foreign registry. In the long range
of national progress and Industrial
independence and dominance both
these activities may we'll cause US to
pause and consider.
When the munition market ceases
we shall have made no appreciable
progress in training our workers or
equipping our industries for the great
industrial warfare that must newt
ably follow the conclusion OF hostil-
tiles. In this coming conflict for
markets we are making no advance
in Industrial preparedness.
We were startled at our lack Of
military preparedness and we shall
be even more startled by our Lack of
industrial and educational prepared
ness. We are doing little or nothing
to equip our Industries for the world
markets soon to open and for which
there will be the most vigorous COM
petition.
We should now know what COM
modities will be required in all the
great purchasing centers of the
world, what form of package or other
marketing treatment these markets
will demand and what equipment of
our Industrial plants should now be
made to enable us quickly to take
our place in the conflict sure to come
with recent adverse legislation
and the removal OF tramp" steamers
The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1917-01-21

from our ports and the sale of many
vessels to foreign corporations. we
have practically driven our flag from
the seas. Hence, when we do have
an open door to foreign markets. we
shall have no means of carrying our
products to the willing purchasers
We should now. by national enact
ncnt, set seriously to work to re-
habilitate our merchant marine. Con-
gress should encourage local enter
prise and private initiative. We do
not want government owned carriers
by water any more than by land
Personally, to encourage American
genius and enterprise and to give US
quickly as adequate a water-carrying
service as we now have a land-carry-
ing service, I would suggest a decla-
ration of fixed purpose In the treat
ment by Congress of so vast an in
dustry and a decreasing subsidy, if
necessary, to attract our people to
this great national service to Amer
lean industry.
This subsidy should be for two or
three years the minimum amount re-
quired to secure capital and genius
to the enterprise, and for, say twenty
years thereafter. graduated de-
creasing amount, having in mind at
the end of the time noted this. like
our other great carrying agencies,
would pass completely to private
ownership free of national assist
ance.
We need also to carry our manu-
featuring enterprises to greater de-
grees OF refinement. We sell to others
in bulk our products. II were wiser
to manufacture them at home into
every detail and form that the mar
kets require, thus enlarginz our in
dustrial output and providing en-
ployment for new armies of skilled
workmen.
l discern In this movement a step
of vital moment to the industries of
this country and n step which we
ought now as surely take as we have
taken others In great national crises.
