THOUSAND
MORE MEN NEEDED
FOR j. s. MARINES
Major General Barnett Points
Out the Opportunities for
Young Men Who Want
to Do Their Bit.

Major General George Barnett in a
telegram to The Bee appeals for 40,
600 recruit for the marines. Congress
recently authorized the enlistment OF
an additional brigade of sea soldiers
for duty in France. 1t is desired to
enlist and equip the brigade as rapidly
as possible. The quota set for May is
5000 men,
The requirements in this branch OF
the service are undoubtedly the most
severe Of any branch of the military
service and the standard will not be
lowered during the present drive. No
recruits will be taken who are not
American citizens and at least Is years
old.
The commandant in his telegram
said:
The War department has au-
thorized all additional brigade OF
marines for duty in France with its
necessary replacement UNITS and 40
900 enlistmcnts are urgently needed.
5000 of which are desired during May.
The marine corps will not lower
its standard We want only young
men of spirit, health and stamina.
There will probably be 800 additional
commissioned officers in the marine
corps and every one OF these commits
sions will be given to enlisted marines.
The marine corps is equipped to
quickly and thoroughly train the new
recruits. The corps has a glorious
history and includes a wonderful
spirit This is probably the last
chance of those young Americans who
have become of age since last June
to choose their branch of the service.
None are wanted but American citi-
zens at least IS years old and men
who have the fighting spirit Your
cooperation is earnestly requested.
again thank you for your help in the
past"

USE COUNTY FAIR
T0PR0M0TEFOOL
CONSERVATION
Message Of Food Conservation
to Be Carried Throughout
State by Means Of
"Pumpkin Shows"

The message OF food conservation
will be carried to the great Nebraska
citizenship this fall through the med.
ium of the county fairs. The out
standing feature of he campaign will
be the use OF substitutes together
with an appeal to use as much OF
these substitutes as possible.
Emphasis will also be laid upon
the use of home supplies for no phase
of the conservation campaign is OF
more importance than that of using
homegrown products. This has the
double advantage of releasing wheat
and other exportable food commodi-
ties and at the same time relieving
transportation.
Arrangements for the county fair
campaign is being made by Gurdon
w. Wattles, federal food administra-
tor for Nebraska. Mr. Wattles' pur-
poses to correlate all agencies in the
state to the conservation campaign,
To Have Exhibit Booths.
Exhibit booths will be maintained
at all the county fairs, which number
more than 20, Actual demonstration
on the preparations Of substitute
products will be shown, and lectures
emphasizing the Importance of sub
stitutes and the many different uses
to which they can be put will be
given.
Mr.. Wattles has written the ex-
tension department of the state uni
versity and other organizations, es-
pecially women's, asking cooperation
in this campaign. He has requested
them to make suggestions for its sue
cesslul consummation and has invited
offers of volunteer service.
Exhibit Director.
1t is quite possible that director,
who will have charge of the exhibits
in the various counties, will be ap-
pointed as soon as definite plans are
adopted.
These county fairs will prove an
unusually effective vehicle to carry
the conservation message" says Mr..
Wattles. Every section of.the state
will be available and we can get in
communication with practically all
of Nebraska rural population.
The exhibit booths, will be in
charge of capable directors whose
aim it will be to explain intelligently
the purposes of the Food Adminis-
tration and to give real information,
which may be used advantageously.
I'VE will emphasize the use Of sub
stitutes and the consumption OF home
grown products. Both are of tre-
mendous importance in the conser-
vation campaign and are as vital as
the production of food.
Food production. and intelligent
use, supplemented by economic dis,
tribution, constitute the food cam.
paign.'
