firearms are bright and shining, and
the enemy is~on the run. There must
be no relaxing of the military pro.
gram. American soldiers must be
kept going in steady stream that
the Allied forces may push on to
quicker victory.
These men must be fed. The civil
ian's spade must not rust. The great
er our accomplishment in putting
AZ: erican soldiers in the European
battlefield Ii? greater is the civilian
responsibility to keep the'r bodies fit
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 50 that
all fear OF famine has been removed.
Equally patriotic has been the re.
spor3e in the planting of war gar
dens. Recent reports On the planting
for 1918 show 5,2S5, 600 food plots or
an increase over last year of 81 per
cent The estimated value OF these
food product: is $525, 100000, or so per
cent increase over last year.

leave the fields for the army, and the
reaction will be felt at next years
harvest Now is the tine to prepare
for this by keeping up the conserVa'
ton program and building up sur
plus for possible leancr days ahead.
Equal in Importance to the sword
and spade is to keep the thought oil
the American people free from rust
The collective thought of the nation
must be pitched on a high place ana
concentrated on the one goal-a con
elusive peace.
A year ago last April America sent
word that she was coming. And she
has made good. Her men are there in
rapidly increasing numbers and the
allied fighters now know that her
sword will not be allowed to rust.
The morale OF both soldiers and
civilians Is based largely on being
we'll fed. That America is ready and
willing to share her food was shown
In the wheat saving last year. she
not only decreased her own consump'
ton to meet the European demands,
but she increased her production OF
all cereals.

jected new hope. and the thoughts OF
the American people must not now be
allowed to rust Europe has faith In

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

During the coming year. America
must ship to Europe 1o,oOO.OOO 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
heen relaxed, the erstwhile ban upon
beef products has been lessened-and
vet Americans must send 100000
tons of food next year to her allies.
This gigantic program means that
every 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. II is simply to relieve con,
sumers from rules which worked a
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 It did in
the spring Of 1917. 1t is hoped that
consumers will realize that out Of the
great harvest this year. a 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 will 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 sue:
q manner that II will not be damaged
or ruined" declared T. B. Stearns,
food administrator for Colorado. in

BestDreSsed Woman in the World. That was the thought
that constantly passed through my mind as watched the
RedaSross parade last Saturday. Every marched
with her face forward her eyes looking forward, her
thoughts forward, with never backward glance
Then thought of the professions of women that are
passing through Europe today-many of them perhaps
at the same moment that these women marched along
welpaved streets through throngs of on-lookers who
cheered them as they paSSed-and thought of the diff
ference!
HERE the women marched full of hope full of cour-
age and full of the love of God and humanity.
THERE they struggled along shell-tom roadwayS
looking backward always toward what had been HOME
home, perhaps for generations of their ancestors They
struggled along hopeless, helpless almost without faith
in God humanity. Everything they loved and cherish
ed had been taken from them except the helpless old peo
pie and the little children Often these women stop to
minister 10 the needs of these loved old people sometimes
to bury them along the roadside. Sometimes they
stop TO gently fondle the little children, who lifted mu
tated arms to them-the hands gone-cut off for
the sheer deyiltry of an invading foe.
AS they went along they listened to the thunderouS
noises from The nearby battefed-the terrific shrek of
Shells the bursting of bombs the cries of diving and wound
ed men, Perhaps hatcry from their own loved one
for never is there abe-boded in these process
sions-the are the battlefields. Would to God
that they actively the battefeldS but many of
them lie dead on the battlefeldS
Then thought of what must happen when these two
professions meet! For they do meet They meet every
time YOU give penny to the Red Cross!
These WelEdreSsed wOmen-theSe best-dreSSed wom-

racked villages OF Europe. They bring 10 these dshear

humanity as we'll as material needs.
They comfort the weary they feed the hungry give
shelter to the homeless. They 60 onto the batlefeldS
and give succo to the dying men-perhaps the Red Cross
nurse sent by the money that give to the Red Cross
will bind the wounds of YOUR own boy-you can't tell!
Will you let him lie helpless in No Mans Land because
YOU too selfish TO give up luxury The price of
which would pay the way Of that Red Cross nurse to his

Will you refuse to send courage to the helpless reo-

CAN you refuse to put food into the mouths of those
mutilated little babies over there?
