CONSERVATION
 FOR HOUSEWIVES
All Will Be Asked to Sign
 Pledge Cards

For the purpose of aiding in the conservation of food and formulating plans to carry on the food pledge card campaign, which will be started shortly, and to appoint men to super intend the campaign, a meeting of the town committee of the State Council of Defense was held yesterday after noon at the mayors office in City hall. Rev. Dr. George w. c. Hill was ap- pointed aS chairman of the food pledge card committee with J. B. Comstock as secretary. Among those present at the meeting were: w. w. Leland, B. w. Christ, Richard Covert, E. F. Hall, pr. Hill, MT. Comstock and Mayor Quigley.
 Tentative plans for the campaign were discussed by members of the committee and 1t is probable that the city will be divided into districts and through the medium of the Boy Scouts endeavor will be made to have one pledge card reach each housewife in the city. The card, on being pre- sented to the housewife, must be re- turned with or without her signature, as no cards will be left to be consid- cred later. In this manner the names of those who are or are not willing to pledge themselves to lessen the con- sumption of food will be determined.
 It was suggested to Dr. Hill that he enlist the aid of the registrars of vo- ters, William Zeigler and Thomas Smith, to help to divide the city into districts. Both men are thoroughly conversant with the thickly populated parts of the city and an effort will probably be made to secure their ser vices.
 The success of the campaign will depend largely, members of the com- m1ttee thought, upon the advertising which Is done and literature contain ing articles on the conservation of food and the part which it is playing and will play in the war will be sent to the housewives of the city in addi- tion to being placed on the war bull letin.
 As the campaign must be brought to a close on October 1 plans to or ganize working forces are now in the works. No efforts will be spared to expedite a successful finish. Dr. Hill who has the power, is expected to ap- point a number of co-workers today.
 Another matter of importance was communication from the state ask ing that a committee of property own- CTS be named to work with insurance inspectors in their branch of the de- fense work. w. L. Hatch was ap- pointed as chairman of a committee, the other members of which will be: H. Dayton Humphrey, Fred Beloin, Building Inspector Arthur N. Ruther- ford, John Skritulsky, Samuel Berko- witz, Anton Cieszynski and Public Works Commissioner John O'Brien.

garti1ng the Restoration of Belgium.
 Amsterdam, Oct. 11.-During the debate in the Reichstag yesterday Deputy Conrad Haussmann said the declaration of Dr. von Kuelhmann, the foreign secretary, that apart from Alsa cc- Lorraine there is no absolute bar to peace, was tantamount to a definite undertaking that Belgium should be given up.
 That should be heralded forth to all the nations.' the deputy added. Gustav Streser1ann, a national liberal, said he would not oppose a rcduc- ton of armaments, but he thought disarmament hardly was practical politics.
 Count von Westarp, conservative, thought that Germany's answer to the Pope ought to have made clear that Germany would not undertake to dis arm and hoped that von Kuehlmann had not tied himself to yielding up Belgium.

We are having some fine weather
now.
Willis Moon lost a fine mich COW
Tuesday morning. The cow was
bit by snake the fore part of last
week.
The cyclone that passed through
here last Thursday evening did quite
a little damage. 1t tore down fences,
broke and uprooted large trees and
at the farm of w. A. Jones of Melzo
tore barn completely down; passing
on to the farms of Mrs. Holdman and
Frank Douglas, it wrecked their hous-
es. Mr.. Moses, who was on his way
home from Melzo, was caught by the
cyclone and was thrown across the
road into a ditch by the side of cul-
vert. This probably saved his life. A
large cherry tree was twisted out of
the ground and hurled over the top of
the culvert where Mr.. Moses was ly-
ing. Telephone poles were blown
down and broken off all around him.
