he can.
Those who have contributed to

for the "Y" is doing marvellous

would advise every citizen who
has the means and time to spare to
visit Camp Pike and observe how
soldering is done. This camp has
a capacity of approximately $4,000
men, and it is full and some are
quarterine in tents. Some $4,000
men came here in May. 10000 in
June and more will come this
month.
A soldier has but little respect
for a Stacker and one who has tried
to evade the service. If there be
any in Sharp county who have not
helped in some way to crush Ger
man autocracy they will be awful
damned sorry they ever lived when
this thing is over, for the scorn of
public sentiment will be with them
long after the kaiser's bones have
returned to dust.
We were billed to have left this
camp this week, but a case of
measles developed and we we're
quarantined for probably two
weeks. Our WOODEN clothing was
issued to us this week, and we
were almost ready to 90. Where
we will 60 is not definitely known,
but 1t is said we will be sent to
Camp Merritt, New Jersey. Newly
drafted men cannot rely on getting
to stay in Camp Pike lone, for this
is replacement camp and the SOL
dier is only hardened for service
here.
OF course we get blue and want
to be back at home enjoying the
pleasures Of civil life, but when we
stop to think about it we are only
responding to duty and trying to
make true and loyal soldiers, We
are offering the greatest sacrifice
possible-our lives-tbat democ.
racy and freedom may still prevail,
We would ever keep the people
mindful Of the fact that they must
continue to back us up with their
means. We are expecting this
struggle to be over within twelve
months, and we will Oct to come
back home with stronger bodies

Measures Designed To Prevent Waste
fulness In Public Eating Houses
Early Passage Regarded
As Certain.

Washington Another step toward
compulsory rationing in this country
was taken, when Senator Pomerene.
in the Senate, and Representative
Lever, in the House, introduced iden-
teal bills, giving the Government abb
solute control over hotels, restaurants
and other public eating places.
These measures were presented aft
er consultation with Food Admins
traitor Herbert Hoover and have full
Administration support. They will
come before Congress for action with
in the next two or three weeks and
little doubt is felt in Washington as
to their passage The only question
raised today is the extent to which
they may be amended.
This legislation is the immediate re-.
suit of the acute food situation all

American supply is growing every day

On the part of the Government to meet

clamoring for more food, not merely
for their armies in the field but for
their civilian populations. This short
age must be made up and can only
be made up by further drafts upon
the stores OF the United States.
The Government believes there is
enough food in America to provide for
all domestic needs and to provision
the. people of Great Britain and
France, But these stocks are not
available for the necessary division
with our Allies in Europe because of
the continued waste on the part Of
the many consumers In this country.
Voluntary economy is being system

but there is still enormous waste in
others.
This waste is confined largely ac-

cars and other public eating places.
There is still some in the families of
wealth, Tut this is negligible. 1t is said,
in its relation to the whole food sup
ply of the country, or even to the
whole supply that is wasted. The Food
