FOOD PLEDGE CARDS

Oct. II to 28 has been set apart by
the state food administrator as a
period during which heads of fami-
lies are to be given the opportunity
to sign card pledging food eonser-
vation during the war. In other
words you will be urged to sign a
contract to use less food. The Her
aid prints this as news only. 1t
sees no good in the results to come
from the move. Those families who
must live on small earnings can not
get much wholesome food at present
prices. Those able to eat what they
want will do so anyhow. and farm
ers will not go hungry after produc-
ing the food Some people cannot
understand that food conditions in
this country are not like they are in
Europe.

ABOUT FlFTY-FIFTY
By l.. N. Stewart.

One Of the greatest blessings be-
slowed upon the human race is abil-
ity to think. l do a great deal of
thinking which does not amount to
any thing. ! suppose here are eother
people who do the same thing. New
ertheless, thinking is good exercise
for the brain.
Theory teaches us that the mind
controls the body. Then according
to theory the mind makes a man
what he is. And the man makes the
nation what it is. The nations then
make the world what it Is. The
world of course makes part Of the
universe, and very likely. the most
wicked part Of the universe, at that
A nation will spend millions OF dol
lars training men to kill other men.
At the same time they spend millions
training nurses and surgeons to
save the lives of men. They have
large factories that run night and
day to make ammunition, guns and
other instruments to kill and wound
men. They also have large factories
running all the time to manufacture
bandages and other articles for dress
ing wounds There are chemists who
work hard to discover formulas for
explosives to destroy life. There are
also chemists who study very hard
on formulas that will help to save
life.
We have men who like to fight and
we have men who will not figfht. We
have soldiers and slacker. We still
have saints and sinners Ever since
the beginning of time it has been a
game of 'fifty-fifty'
l wonder which side will win.
If everybody would think the same
way they would surely do the same
way. And if everybody did the same
way things would become so monoto
nous that people would not care to
live, and 1t is hard to tell what would
happen.
The game OF life is indeed won
derful game; very interesting, too.
But be sure and play your hand care
fully.
