HIS DUTY TO RISK ALL.
Farmer Declares He Is Planting As
Many Acres AS He Can To Help
Himself And Aid Uncle Sam.

"As long as men go to the front
at the risk of being shot," writes a
farmer to the Food Administration,
"it is clearly my duty to risk all l
possess. 1t is my duty to take full
risk in planting as many acres as
my means will permit. This / am
doing in in 1918.
Having leased two extra farms, l
propose making this year the su-
preme effort of my life. If l make
a good profit, it will be fully earned.
If I but make expenses and produce
four times as much food as last year
it will be my opportunity to give
strength, to give courage to help
win. l am planning to farm to the
extreme limit.
. Zone town man last year spent
half his holidays helping farmer
taking his pay in supplies such as
potatoes, vegetables and fruits
This plan combines recreation with
production and should prove pop
ular form of war work"

ITs UP TO US!

The time has come when every
mothers Son and daughter Of US
must stand shoulder to shoulder and
fight to win that we may live and
work in peace in the days to come.
Tho administration at Washington
should have our unprejudiced sup
port, backed to the limit by every
man of us, whether or not tits our
privilege to follow the flag to for
eign field.
When once we get that feeling out
of our system which prompts US to
carp and criticise when Mr.. Hoover
or Mr.. Garfield suggests, or demands
that we use sparingly Of this or that
or Mr.. McAdoo asks US to buJ ..;ore
Liberty Bonds, then we will be ready
to put foot in the fellows mouth
who is forever peddling the why
and "Whatfor" in argument against
the men who are doing their best In
wrestling with the great problem,
which confront. the people of oul
country.
It's up to every one Of US to make
US stand practically-as well az lit
erally-for Uncle Sam.
It's time to do SOMETHING, stop
ping short of nothing but OUR
BEST.
The boys at the front are doing
something. They are over there
fighting for us, and they are giving a
mighty good account of themselves.
They are doing something more than
dispensing with finger bowls.
The Kaiser is busy.
Let's take an oar.

This would permit fair trial OF gov
eminent operation, said Mr.. McAdoo,
and eliminate the unsettled condition
under which the railroads must be
operated during the next year or two
II their status is not changed mate
rally by legislation.
This recommendation is not made
in support Of any theories concerning
the best ultimate policy Of running
the railroads, Mr.. McAdoo explained,
but only to give the nation time to
form its ideas carefully.
The director general explained that
IL is impossible to retain the roads
under government control for twenty
one months after the declaration OF
peace without further legislation, ow
Ing to the strain on the morale of Of
Ulcers and employees, and pointed out
the difficulty of obtaining comprehen-
siye legislation on the subject soon.
