FOOD CONSERVATION WEEK

This week, December to I, Is be-
ing observed throughout the United
States as a plan adopted by the
Food Administration to bring before
the American people In forceful
manner the matter of saving food
and sharing 1t with the starving pop
ulation of Europe.
This work was started in West
Virginia by the calling OF a statewide
meeting of the County Food Admin
istrators and women representatives
of the Food Administration from the
several counties of the state by II.
w. 0glebay, State Food Administra-
tor, the meeting being held Saturday,
November 80, widely attended
The Food Administrators OF the
several counties pledged themselves
to continue the food conservation
plan as long as there was any neces-
sity for so doing. This meeting was
addressed by Il. w. Oglebay State
Food Administrator and by G. Harold
Powell, of Mr.. Hoover's Office who
outlined the food conditions OF the
world in most thorough manner.
The original plan OF the Food Ad-
ministration was to send 1850, 900
tons Of foodstuffs overseas by July /.
1919, but since the close OF the war,
conditions have developed which will
require at least 100000 tons and
probably 100000 tons to. be ship
ped to Europe. This great amount
OF foodstuffs can only be supplied by
continued saving OF food by all the
people in a united effort to save mil
lions from starvation.

To the People of West Virginia


West Virginia has not failed to
go "over the top" in any campaign
connected with Government or War
activities.
Shall we fail in the War Savings
Campaign?
We already occupy an enviable
position, but that it not enough.
We can and must achieve the goal
that has been set for us. To do
that we must buy $10,000,000 in
War Savings Stamps during No
yember and December. The Gov
eminent needs money perhaps more
now than ever; and it must never
be said that West Virginia failed
to do that which she was called
upon to do in this war for liberty
and humanity.
All of our War Sayings pledges
must be redeemed, and / call upon
all loyal and patriotic citizens of
our state to not only redeem their
pledges for the purchase of War
Savings Stamps, but to do more if
possible. The honor of our state
and it's people is at stake.
A special drive will be made
from Thanksgiving until Christ
mas, and this drive will be known
as the Victory War Savings
Drive"
Let every County Chairman let
all the members of each County
Committee let every War Saw
ings Society; and let every citizen
of West Virginia do his bit and the
desired result will be easily at
tanned.
Our aim and ambition will be to
have every citizen of West Vir-
ginia, man, woman, and child, an
owner of War Savings Stamps be-
fore the end of the year. Let us
have 100000 War Savers In West
Virginia.
While the amount of money to
be raised is important, and while
the needs of the Government are
urgent, feel that nevertheless our
greatest success would be in hav-
ing at least one War Savings
Stamp owned by each man, woman
and child in the state.
At a recent meeting of State Di-
rectors held in Richmond, some
discussion was had as to whether
or not the quotas assigned to
each state could not be re-adjusted.
Speaking for West Virginia, your
State Director said that we desired
no change in our quota; that we
were willing to stand on our record
at, the end of the year; and that
we expected to make good"
| am counting on the people of
West Virginia to back me up in
this statement, and to make easy
the work of the County War Saw
ings Committees.
Yours for $2S,403, GOO w. S. s.

The Loom of Life.

1t is a solemn thought that every
one of us carries about with him a
M tical loom, and we are always
weaving-weave, weave, weave-this
rore which we wear, every thought
g thread of the warp, every action a
thread of the weft. We weave it, and
we dye it, and we cut it, and we
stitch it, and then we put it on and
wear it; and it sticks to us. Like
snail that crawls about your garden
patches and makes its shell by pro-
cess of secretion from out Of its own
substance, so you and ! are making
that mysterious solemn thing, we call
character, moment by moment. 1t is
our own self modified by our actions.
Character is the precipitate from the
stream of conduct which, like the Nile
delta, gradually rises solid and firm
above the parent river, and confines
its fow-Alexander Maclaren.

Loan workers. We are asking you
extra effort while the public is espe-
patriotic appeal.
Thousands Of people in West Vir-t
ginia did not subscribe to Fourth,
Liberty Bonds. Influenza and other
matters absorbed their INTEREST,"
Many who would have subscribed
could not even be seen. Campaigns
for Liberty Loans have helped the
sale of War Savings Stamps in the
past.
Now this is the time, therefore. to
push the sale of War Savings Stamps,
particularly among those people who
should have subscribed to Fourth Lib
erty Bonds, but who, for one reason or
another, did not do So
"We are asking each County Lib
erty Loan Chairman in West Vir-
ginia az to advise all his or her COM
mittee members at once of this of
fetal request; ~ to volunteer the
services of himself and lis associates
as far as possible, to wolS in his coun-

ing the drive successful Similar cam
paigns are being undertaken in other
divisions of the District.
MANY counties have not attained
their quotas In every county there
are many pledges to buy War Saw
ings Stamps yet to be redeemed The
drive is to secure the redemption Of
all such pledges and to sell additional
stamps as needed, to enable the re-
spectiye counties to attain their quo

When the wounded game broke away

eggs, which were Immediately sent
out to people in various parts of
the state who have volunteered to
raise the young birds until they. are
able to are for themselves, and then
release them in the forests of this
state. From twenty to twenty-five
eggs are set under one hen and it
requires twenty-four days for hatch
ing. Another shipment of 500 eggs
ave been ordered, which will be
disposed of in the same manner, as
soon as they are received.
The May crop report of Field

this years winter wheat crop is over
three million bushels, or about two

indicates that there will be twenty
