HOME FOLKS URGED
TO KEEP FAITH
WITH "YhNKS" BY
CONTINUED SAVING
"a Sword, Spade and Thought
Should Never Be Allowed
fo Rnat.'

This was part of the wise philosophy
OF the women in Irish folk lore. an
1t is now rlch in wartime symbolism.
That the Allied sword is not being
permitted to rdst is evidenced In tho
recent victories on the western front.
Firearms are brigat and shining, ana
the enemy Is on the run. There must
be no RELAXING OF the military pro
gram. A lerican soldiers must be
kept going in steady stream thdt
the Allied forces may push on TO a
quicker victory.
These men must be fed. The civil
iun's spade must moi rust. The great
er bur accom- plshment in putting
American soldiers in the European
battlefield the greater is the civilian
responsibility to keep their bodies III
and their spirits buoyed.
American agriculture has had ban
ner year. The patriotic response OF
the farmers coupled with favorable
weather conditions has increased enor-
mously the cereal production SO ihat
all fear of famine has been removed
Equally patriotic has been the re-
sponse in the planting OF war sar
dens. Recent reports on the planting
for 1918 show 5.-S5.JD0 food plots or
an increase owe. year OF 81 i
cent The estir.ai value OF these
food products is S5-j,0G0 800. or 5p per
cent increase over last year.
This is no time, however, 10 fei3%
either in production or saving, THIS
years bountiiui harvest may be iol'
lowed by a corrrs Y1ldingly poor one
next year. Nor .. en- win gradually
leave the fields for thc army, and the
reaction will be fcit ut next year
harvest. Now is the time to prepare
for this by keeping up the conserNa
ton program and building up SUE
plus for possible ,esncr days ahead.
Equal in importance to the sword
and spade is to troop the thought ol
the American people free from rust
The collective thought OF the natioa
must be pitched on a high place and
concentrated on the one goal" con
elusive peace.
A wear ago last Anril America sent
word that she was coming, And sh'
has made good. Her men are there II
rapidly Increasing numbers and th'
Allied fighters now know that hei
sword will not h. al'owcd to rust
The morale Of 10th soldiers an'
civilians il based largely on bcini
we'll fed. That America Is rrndy ant
willing to shnrc her food was showi
in the wheat saving last year Sh'
not only decreased her own consnmp
ton to meet the European demands
but she increased her production o
all cereals.
Americas sword and spade have in
iected new hope. and the thoughts o
the American people must not now b'
allowed to rust. Europe has Iaiih u
us. and We must maintain this faith

SAVING STILL NEEDED IF
NEW FOOD PROGRAM
IS TO Be A SUCCESS

"During the coming year. America
must ship to Europe 100000 tons OF
food stuffs."
With this announcement. Herbert
Hoover. federal food administrator
places on the American people re-
sponsibility greater than any before.
The $3.50 substitute rulings have
been relaxed, the erstwhile ban upon
beef products has been lessened-and
vet Americans must send l5,OOOooV
tons of food next year to her allies.
This gigantic program means that
eyery man. woman and child who Is
for Liberty against Tyranny, must
make his eating. and his buying as
sane and saving as possible. and keep
the consumption Of vital food stuffS in
America down to the lowest point.
The relaxation OF the stricter rules Is
not meant to lower the bars so that
boarding or excessive consumption is
allowable. 1t is simply to relieve con
sumers from rules which worked
certain amount OF hardship. but
which were absolutely necessary dur
ing the wheat crisis of a few months
ago.
The food administration still re-
serves the right to commander any or
all flour consumers may have on hand
should the need arise-as 1t did in
the spring of 1917. 1t Is hoped that
consumers will realize that out of the
great harvest this year, reserve sup
ply of food must be built II future
short crops and decreased labor are to
be discounted and made harmless.
THE food administration VIII ex'
pect every patriotic American to hold
flour now purchased in trust. so to
speak, for :uture use of the govern
ment. and to keep that flour in such
a manner that 1t will not be damaged
or ruined" declared T. B. Stearns
food administrator for Colorado, in a
recent statement.

SPIRIT OF FRANCE
CLOVIS IN SACRIFICE.
OF LITTLE CHILDREN

Much has been told of, the spirit
of France since the war began.
Many heroic things - victories,
sacrifices, courage beyond belief,
accomplishing resistance to the
slow agony of hunger, cold and
personal loss, have developed from
this rr"vnn -Hs, idC C',-. devo-
,ion to their o land.
But listen to ,.,- rlc, yc who
feel abused because your morning
is not as sweet AS Of yorc:
Last winter sugar was scarce in
France, even as it is now, SO scarce
that it was and is an almost I'M
known luxury TO many.
Officials of the Red Cross de-
cided to invite the school children
of Paris 70 a luncheon. SO all the
small folks of the city were gath
cred together and feasted on the
great cups of chocolate which is
their delight, with an ample sup
ply of bread.
Then because candy is no longer
made in France, because the land
of French pastry knows pastry no
more, because there must be sur
prise, finaI ct, q "bonne
bouche," each lii. Il, ont of
the stores Of the Red cross, was
given to eat lump of 81 ar, one

There were smiles of THANKS,
grateful words of dclie htcd ap-
probation from these children OF
Paris, starved for sweets through
so many weary months.

Later reports of the German attack
on the American sector northwest of
Toul Saturday, which forced tempor-
, airy retirement, indicate that il is the
plan of the enemy to strike here and
there along the entire western front Tor the
purpose of preventing the transfer OF
troops to the more active fighting zones.
| do not regard the attack as much
more than "A feeling out process or n raid
on rather larger scale. IL does not
appear as If tho Germans sought to scpa-
rate the American and French forces with
a view to rolling up one or the other OF
them
The fierce artillery bombardment which
preceded the infantry action, however,
marks the operation rs an important one.
II the enemy had any doubt as to how
Americans would stand up in the face
of n terrific bomhardment, they got rid
OF il in that action.
WELDED ONLY ADVANCED LINES.
The Americans gave some ground be-
fore the attacking force, but did not go
back of our defensive line. All they
welded was their advanced lines, which as
%
through which the American defensive
line runs in the vicinity of the fighting
has not been mentioned in any dispatches,
This makes il certain that the ground
surrendered would have constituted n
very slight loss even If il had not been
retakcn
The Germans claim of having captured
lS3 Americans probably is substantially
correct. While definite confirmation Of
il has not been received here. it IS rca-
sonable, when the size and the character
of the action is taken into account
Indications are that Marshal IIaig

German thrust in Flanders and that the

The Allies may be forced back little,
but their lines have been greatly strength

have less chance to go through than be-
fore their offensive was halted, unless
all signs fail
ALLIES TASK EASIER.
In our impaticncc, we naturally would
like TO read that the British and French
commanders were strengthening then
lines for a thrust at the enemy, rather
than for the purposes Of defending them
selves against another attack. But il
must be remembered that every blow of
the enemy has resulted in enormous
losses. which he can Ill afford and which
make the ultimate task of the Allies
and America just that much easier
