entire series TO any of his constitu
ents who ask for them.
The practical demonstration of pat
riotism made by the people of Flor
| ida in subscribing literally for Liber.
/ ty Bonds, far in excess of the govern
ment's expectations, has been called
| to the attention Of Congress as an
example worthy of emulation by the
rest of the country.
Congressman Frank Clark and
iother members of the state delegation
at the capital have received scores OF
kilograms from all parts of the state
notifying them that the Liberty
Bond quotas for the various commu-
mites were way over-subscribed. A
/ number of these kilograms have been
put in the Congressional Record.
Congressman Clark and other mem
bers of the Florida delegation have
shown these kilograms from their
constituents at the White House and
the treasury department, where they
have greatly heartened those officials
in charge of the Liberty Bond drive.
AS a result of frequent conferences
!, with the food administration and the
director general of railroads in regard
to prompt movement of Florida's per-
ishable food products to the consum-
ing market, Congressman Clark has
4 secured information that will be val
liable to poultry, dairy and truck
farmers in his district. The free use
of perishable foods, eggs and poultry
by the public during the period of
Igreatest production is now being
urged by the food administration in
the most emphatic manner in order
that the conservation of staple foods
for export may be increased.
Beginning May / the ban on mar
keting live or fresh-kil1ed hens and
pullets is lifted and a liberal move
ment of poultry stocks to the market
is anticipated in order to provide
houseing space for the 1913 matches.
The administration officials say that
the transportation troubles which har-
assed the railroads during the winter
have been overcome and while there is
still car shortage the roads are able
to meet actual needs.
The office of public buildings and
grounds in the House office building
has an interesting patriotic display.
The walls, customarily hung with
large pictures of the postoffices and
federal buildings in some of the larg,
est cities in the country, are now COW
cred with display of Liberty Loan
posters. Congressman Clark. is chair
man of this committee and recogniz-
ed by his associates in Congress as
the most enthusiastic booster for the
,, Liberty Loan.
ANY school, postofice or library in
, his district which wants some Liber,
: ty Loan posters can get a set by ap-
plying to. Congressman Clark. As he
) is unable to get away from Washing
ton, where the administration leaders
frequently call him into importan,
: conferences on war measures, Con-
gresham Clark has had to decline to
make a Liberty Loan speaking tour
2 through Florida and several other
e Southern states. He is, however
5 making a number of speeches to citi-
e zens, associations and other large
! gatherings in Washington. He took
l a conspicuous part in the Liberty
: Loan demonstration in the national
4 capital.

r Congressman Clark had with the di-

officials in his administrative offices

ton at the port. The federal author
