ton. Spasmodic practice will be
useless. 1t is true that food will
win the war. 1t is also true that
lack of food will bring defeat.
There is not enough food in the
world and each must give up what
he does not need in order to feed
our army and our starving Allies.
We are asked to eat perishables
and food that cannot be shipped
and to conserve meat, wheat, sugar
and fats. To observe meatless
Tuesdays and wheatless Wednes-
days. We are asked to eat as far
as possible what is raised in our
community and thus lift the burden
of hauling from the railroads. The
importance of intelligent education
along conservation lines cannot be
overestimated.
Let the watch word be coopera-
ton, the object at this time be true
conservation and the power behind
it all, true common sense.

Men who have been placed in
Class 1, under the new Selectiye
Service Regulations, will find it
greatly to their advantage TO
have all the military drill possible
before going to the Cantonment.
Their introduction to the new
and strange army life will be
much easier if they have had this
drill, and the chance of securing
a corpOralship or sergeantcy will
be greatly increased.
All Class l men desiring to
have this drill should report to
Battalion Adjutant Gallagher at
8 P. NJ, any Friday evening at
the Washington Auditorium.
They will be given competent in
structors, and will receive the
same drill that will be given at
the cantonment.
AS a few weeks at most will
elapse before the first draft, men
desiring the drill should report at
their first opportunity.
