A BRAVE MAN AND A SOLDIER

Ready to vhge the war he helped
to inaugurate, and being in it, more
than willing to take an active part,
the people of this country must pause
long enough in their preparations to
heave sigh unto the spirit of Angus
tus P. Gardner, of Massachusetts, who
contracted pneumonia while training
for European service at Camp Wheel
er. AS congressman he was militant
in his advocacy of preparedness, but
when war came, he took his post, and
at his own request was denoted ma
jor. He was in the Spanish-American
war as captain, and represented his
district in the house for fifteen years.

SAVING AT THE SPIGOT-
WASTING AT THE BUNG

Conservation" Isl the slogan of the
American people, and it is good slo-
gan. But it should apply to the gov
eminent as well as to the citizens.
Although doubtless our officials at
Washington are doing their utmost in
this direction, yet there is, in the rank
and file of government employees,
large room for improvement.
Some months ago, when the food
conservation campaign opened, there
was appointed in a certain state a
publicity agent who proudly announc-
ed that he had left his own business in
the hands of employees while he served
his country without pay. His first
act was to dispatch kilograms to ev-
cry newspaper in the state, calling at
tention to the necessity of cooperating
with the government, and urging the
support of the paper to the fight for
food conservation. No sane man can
doubt that every one of those tele-
grams was paid for by the govern
ment at full rates, when a two-cent
stamp would have taken each one, and
gotten it to its destination in twenty
four hours.
There is such a thing as Saving at
the spigot and wasting at the bung."
The government machinery is the
bung, and can not be watched too
closely.

Food Administration Work Enthusiss-

Look in the grocery where you trade
Ion, the poster which shows that the
merchant has pledged himself to fair
and moderate prices. If you cannot
see it ask him if he belongs to the
FOOD Administration and why the
sign OF it is not posted. The retailers
have had time to sign the Food Adj
miRistration pledge. While the small
retailer Is not licensed, he Is subject
to the provisions of the Food Control
Law as to reasonable profits, and this
pledge gives him opportunity publicly
TO declare his loyalty and adherence
to the food rules. More than 100000
retail food dealers have now enrolled.
It is to the consumers interest to have
all the retailers pledged.
The poster is large and easily rec
ognized. 1t is printed in red and black,
bears the Food Administration seal,
and reads:
TO serve our country we have en-
listed in the United States Food Ad-
mlnistration. We pledge ourselves to
give our customers the benefit of fair
and moderate prices, selling at no
more than reasonable profit above
cost"
Customers are asked to report to
their State or local food administra-
t9fs the name of any store in which
this pledge is not displayed, or in
which it is displayed but not lived
up to. Where excessive prices are
charged the case will be referred to
washington for further action.
1t is an interesting fact that this
campaign to reach the retailers and
secure the voluntary support of all
food dealers was made successful
largely through the cordial co-opera-
ton OF wholesale grocers and their
saiesmen. Practically every wholesale
grocer in the country volunteered the
service Of his organization. Twenty
Thousand statesmen carried with them
he posters and pledge cards and urs-
I'd upon their trade the necessity of
