Tho few people In America who
have seen the new 1919 Home Card OF

ton, giving the food saving program
for next year. call It "the most sensa
tional statement yet issued to the
American people by the Food Admin

1t is printed in matter-of-fact black
and white. 1t is couched in unemo-
tional language 1t Is one simple state
ment of fact after the other.
But 1t calls for the greatest sacri
flee. the greatest conservation effort
ever asked voluntarily of any nation.
Here's Just hint:
To meet the promises that Herbert
Hoover made to the Allies at the re
cent Allied Food Controllers confer
ence held in London. each person in
America must be responsible for the
exporting next year Of $50 pounds OF
food stuffs, saved at his own table
Hoover has promised that the 100,
100000 OF US will save and ship 1850,
900 tons OF food to the Allies next year
half as much again as last year.
Naturally this immense saving Of al
kinds OF food: this tightening by hall
again OF the nations belt-can only be
accomplished If every household does
its part.
Because of the "flu" the Home Card
campaign has been postponed from DC

TESTIMONIAL
To the Editor of The Ebert County
fTrihrpa.
= r. Axton.
Eibert, Colo.

Tribune:
understand that n. X. Axtcn
has been nominated upon the Demo
Gratis ticket for County Clerk and
Recorder OF Elbert County. have
been acquainted with Mr. Axton for
a number Of years, and ! am pleased
to know that the people OF Ebert
County are beginning to realize his
worth. wish to state to the read
crs OF your paper and assure the
voters of Ebert County that he is
thoroughly qualified for that office.
In order to give you an idea of
the kind Of man Mr.. Axton is at
heart. / will relate to you few incl
dents of his life: During the fall
and winter of 1909, shortly after
his marriage to Miss Alma Carlson.
of Denver, who was at that time Choir
us leader at Elyria Christian Church.
and Just previous to his removal to
Elbcrt County. while going about
Denver, Mr.. Axton found widow
with seven children, ranging In ages
from one to thirteen years, without
food fuel and with very little cloth
ing; they were about to be cast from
their home because of inability to
pay the rent. Mr.. Axton learned
that the County of Denver refused
to give aid to this family because
they had not lived In the county the
required length OF time. Mr.. Axton
received this mother with her brood
of seven into his own home and
sheltered them for period OF three
months without money and without
price. Sometime during the three
months, one member OF the family,
little boy, passed away, and George
Olinger, knowing how Mr.. Axton had
taken care of the family. took charge
of the body and laid it as rest in
one of the most beautiful lots In
Crown Hill cemetery, without any ex-
pense whatever.
During the same winter, because of
crop failure, homesteader with
his wife and two children. moved In
to the city OF Denver from near your
part OF the state, seeking work. Un-
able to find 1t. without money and
no place to go. he was about to give
UP In despair when Mr.. Axton pick
ed him up and received the poor man
with his wife and two babies into
his home and kept them for several
weeks. until the man was able to
find work. | could cite you to many
such instances of charity bestowed by
Mr.. Axton, and 1 will assure you Of
this much. that during the very Sc
we're winter of 1909 Mr.. Axton gave
his last dollar to the less fortunate.
You will find on file in the. old
Times Building. a copy of the News
dated November 8, 1909, containing
picture of Mr.. Axton and an article
telling In part of his great work In
Denver, and praising him for his
marked ability. Surely such man
as Mr. Axton. who has at all times
the welfare OF his fellow men al
heart, is certainly worthy of the
most respected public office. Place
an x after his name at the coming
election, and you will not be sorry.
Respectfully yours,
VIM. Davis.
