SAVE SAYS HOOVER-AND
THERE ARE FIFTY CHEFS

Caroline Lockart In Kansas CIT!
Post:
"SAVEr, urges Mr.. Hoover viii
emphasis in recent letter to th'
school children OF America. MANY
millions OF people have been made
free by our victory, but they are II
the greatest danger OF death from
starvation. They look 10 America
for food until the next harvest.
with
We must go on saving and sharing
with them as faithful as ever. We
have a greater task than any OF Us
can imagine In saving the world
from famine, but we can do It II each
OF us does all he can"
Simultaneous with his plea TO the
youngsters and their elders to saw of
ON the eats and tighten their belts a
while longer, comes the announce
ment that the president and Mrs.
Wilson and the selected party Of the
peace conference are sailing for Eu-
rope with so chefs, pastry cooks,
bakers and confectioners taken from
the best hotels in New York 10 cater
TO the palates Of the distinguished
passengers of the George Washing
ton.
Aheml We politely cover our
mouths with our finger tips and
cough gingerly. We cannot help
wondering If food concentrations, like
the game laws,is always made for
the other fellow. We speculate as to
whether the food served to the sold
iers by the regular cooks Of the
George Washington ~ not good
enough for George Creel's tummy.
Were their mushrooms, sus cloche,
their aspic in jelly, their nesselrode
pudding and other necessities not up
to standard that they were laid Off to
make room for the artists from the
Waldorf and Plaza?
1t Is not that we wish to be i'm
pertinent or disloyal, but in spite of
ourselves our brains will go on work
ing and asking questions.
Nor Is it that we would have Mrs.
Wilson down in the galley frying
liver and onions and Colonel House
-
wages. We would not like to think
of the presidential party walking
down the gang plank gaunted up like
n band Of Crow Injuns after a hard |
winter. No,indeed, we are not as
'tight''as that with our chief execu-
tive, but those 90 chefs, party cooks.
bakers and confectioners "stick in
your craw" somehow.

END or WAR WORK DRIVE.
Chairman Announces That No More
Funds are Asked.

editor Reflector: The General Com
mittee OF the United War Work Cam
paign conveys to you an expression OF
appreciation and gratitude for your
effective co operation during the
United War Work drive, which Is
now officially closed You gave US
freely OF your space, which is your
stock IN trade, and helped us in our
publicity in very generous way.
We also desire to register appre-
citation Of the splendid efforts Of the
War Work Fund Association Of Dick
inson county This splendid organ
ization handled the solicitation and
collection OF the funds In their usual
systematic manner The splendid re-
suit OF their work shows that this
county stands first In the state In
amo4nt OF cash raised, compared to
the amount apportioned to the county
to be raised.
The report OF Treasurer White
shows that over $62, 900 in cash was
raised on an apportionment Of $G6,-
600. When full reports are in, flu
ture pledges will undoubtedly bring
the amount to more than our appor-
tionment called for
To the contributors who made pos
sble this great voluntary offer is due
every need OF praise. In the history
OF all war work campaigns this
drive marked the largest sum ever
provided through voluntary offerings
for an altruistic cause.
In the period beginning November
nth, day forever to be remember
ed, as the great Peace Day, the peo-
pie Of Dickinson county, in common
with the entire American people,
rich and poor, members Of all parties
and no parties, races and religious
faiths, united their gifts and sacri-
fees in rolling up in the country at
large the vast sum of over two mil
lion dollars. This generous Offering
put all of the seven cooperating or
Of the American army |
and navy, and OF the forces of our
Allies, and to other men as well as
women sorely affected by war condi-
tions. This timely generosity makes
possible the successful handling OF all
the trying problems that lie before us.
The United War Work campaign
has also furnished the most impress
sive example thus afforded to reli-
gious unity and Co operation. Never
before have the leaders Of the mil
lions of followers Of the Protestant,
Roman Catholic and Jewish religi-
Gus bodies Of great nation joined
forces for the accomplishing Of
common, unselfsh object. The spirit
Df true tolerance and Of sympathetic
has been greatly devel-
)ped and expanded.
All who participated in this great
work have cause to thank themselves
hat they met the test put upon them,
md assisted in making a complete
success Of the greatest voluntary
of any time or age.
