How the American Fighter
is So Well Fed

How Government Solved Problem
The World War developed some of the greatest
problems with which human beings have ever
had to grapple Among the foremost of these
was that which faced the United States Govern
ment when it became necessary, suddenly, to pro-
vide for the feeding of millions of men. The
solution lay in utilizing the great national food;
purveying organizations and their resources and
the Government turned to such concerns as
Armour for quick action. AS a result, the food
problem was solved and in its solution, one of the
outstanding feats of the war was performed.

AGGIE SCHOOL To
BEGIN SESSION
TUESDAY, SEPT I
PROSPECTS ARE THAT DORMI-
TORIES WILL BE FILLED, BUT
AMPLE ACCOFFODATIONS WILL
BE PROVIDED FOR ALL WHOSE
APPLICATIONS ARE ACCEPTED
BY AUTHORITIES.

The A. and f. School at Americus
will open the fall term next Tuesday
the 18th and prospects are good for
record attendance. Many of the
IS year old boys who had expected
to enter the student Army Train
ing Corps" have been turned away
for lack of accommodations and for
lack of the required number of units.
Fourteen units. or the completion of
four years high school course is
necessary to enter these government
schools, or it may be possible that
boys with only twelve units may enter
ON "condHionsp and make up the
deficiency in one or two studies under
tutor.
A move is already on foot to make
this one of the army training schools
should the government decide to es-
tablish others, and it seems that it
will be necessary in order that ali
the boys of draft age may be accom-
modated.
This office has been deluged the
past few days with applications for
entrance, and for information re-
garding the requirements of boys
who have just registered and we ex-
pect the capacity of the dormitory to
be taxed to the limit the first week.
There will be no change of books
for the present. Boys and girls who
expect to room in the dormitories
should report Monday, September III.

Gent sugar be obtainable for canning
and preserving fruits and vegetables

In order to make sure that shortage
shall not develop, the food administra-

SAVE THE Female SHEEP

Our government is appealing to the
people of the United States to increase
their crop of sheep for both meat ami
wool purposes. Each soldier demands
in the neighborhood of So pounds of
wool per annum, and because of the
shortage of transport the wool supply
of sheep growing countries is not
available to our armies and our allies
and the obligation rests upon the Unit
ed States to increase the wool andmeat
supply for immediate purposes. This
request of our government should an
peal to our people in a manner similar
to any other war enterprise or anv
other war necessity, and / hope that
you will regard this in the same light
as you have all the other war requests
that have come from the war organiza-
lions.
Therefore it is the wish and the
earnest desire of our Mr.. H. A. Nor
gan that all who have sheep and lambs
for sale, offer only male lambs to the
market for meat, and not sell ewes to
anyone except for breeding purposes,
thereby helping to increase the wool
and meat supply for the soldier boys
who are in need of such while fightlng
for our country and the cause Of
Christ. ]. w. McCLEISH,
