America, without regard to inter-
est or occupation, being made to
cooperate towards the one great
task of winning this war. Min
nesota is to be congratulated on
the patriotic sevices that it has
already rendered through the
medium of its patriotic citizens
and those who are charged with
the task of making the state
ready and efficient for war pur-
poses. The state owes a debt OF
gratitude to the young men who
have cheerfully accepted the Sc
lective draft and for their prompt
obedience to the law. They are
fine examples Of soldiers both In
spirit, heart and physical courage.
They will prove to be an irresis-
tible and indominable force on
the western front. The Commits
sion has pledged its support to
the administration of President
Wilson, in the conduct of the war.
1t wants everything to be done
right and has pledged itself to
help do it right. Mistakes have
been made. Others have also
made mistakes. These will be
corrected, and forgiven. All
things must be done without
hindrance or cessation Of patrio-
tic endeavor or any abatement in
any sense Of our intense loyalty.
The state is especially to be
felicitated upon the splendid
work being done by our women
and the Commission points with
special pride to the work Of the
Woman's Auxiliary Of the state
organization. The Red Cross and
other organizations that have and
are now engaged in active war
work, command the enthusiastic
support of all loyal people and
every appeal for them or from
them should be met with prompt
and efficient response.
The Commission of Public
Safety urges that all regular
church services should include
the singing of America and
prayers should include appeals
for the strength and guidance Of
the National Administration and
for the triumph Of our armies il
the field.
The Commission of Public
Safety urges and makes the above
appeal to the great and splendid
citizenship of the State of Mime
sofa.

FOOD FACTS

Every article produced in the
home garden is a contribution to
the cause Of winning the war.
Home products do not need trans
portation. They go from the gar
den to the table or to the preserve
jar or the cellar, and take the
place of some other food article
that without the garden product
would have to be shipped in. to
the community. In view of the
railroad situation last years gar
dens have been Of inestimable
value in preventing actual suffer
ing for want of food. AS the war
goes on, and more of our men are
sent across, the burden Of the
railroads will increase, and the
need of home production. that
much more imperative. Every
spade full of dirt turned, every
food article produced will help
to win.

In order to stimulate wheat
saving and to make available for
export Immediately a greater
amount of wheat than is now be-
ing received for oversee shipping,
the United States food admins
tration has announced a suspen-
sion Of the request for daily
meatless meal and porkless Sat
urday. This means that temper
arily Tuesday will be the only
meat saving day of each week.
In making the announcement, Mr..
Hoover states that experience has
shown that the consumption OF
breadstuffs is intimately associ-
ated with the consumption of
meats. For various reasons the
supplies Of meat in this country
are considerably increased right
now and it will be possible to sup
ply for shipment all of the meat
that the transportation facilities
can take care Of, and at the same
time increase somewhat our
home consumption. The wheat
is not being furnished in the
quantity required and it is hoped
that the increased meat consump-
ton will release more wheat by
decreasing bread consumption.

Actual sugar famine in some
communities of the state recently
indicate that the people will have
to be more sparing in their use
Of sugar than requested in the
recent order Of the state food adj
ministration. Public eatin G
places have been requested to rel
egate the sugar bowl and to serve
sugar on request in containers
holding the minimum amount
that should go with the food or
drink being served. By exercis-
ing care in the use of sugar at
this time, it will be possible to
have some sugar all of the time,
says the state food administra-
ton, but if we abuse what we
have now, it will result in our 60
ing without it entirely until the
transportation problem clears up
and the distribution of the sup
ply is made more general.
