of all the population of the United

part to do in saving food TO help win

The Food Administration does not
ask any one to go hungry, nor does it
expect to take from any one the neees-
stiles of life. When the Pledge Card
was presented to the householdsrs Of
this country, they asked you to join
in the willing service to conserve food
for our nation. The situation at the
present time is serious one In Eu-
rope. There is enough meat, wheat
and sugar in the United States to sup
ply its population, but we are associat.
ed with nations In Europe who are
need these particular foods. 1t is there
fore necessary for us to assist them
by supplying them with food. so that
they can keep the battle ground In
Europe Should we fail to co our duty
now, at some time in the future, per-
haps, We might have to contend with
the domination of autocracy on Amer.
lean soil. We accordingly call upon
every individual in Mississippi to do
their part In changing their habits Of
living 80 as to eat less of the things
which are needed in Europe, and to
consume instead the foods OF which
we have great abundance, such as
corn, oats, game, etc. besides fruits
and vegetables, which our people can
use and thus help to win the war
Articles will appear In this paper
every week calling your attention to
the desire of the Food Administration
on matters Of Food Conservation, and
we trust you will follow the requests
here uttered, for by so doing you may
do most patriotic work and help to
win this struggle for the good of all
mankind.

 Hongkong is the natural outcome of an impossible situation. It is the big end of a tremendous wedge of influence no doubt about that; but from the be- ginning its influence has been of the quickening and reinvigorating kind. It is a place set outside Chinese control, where Chinese themselves can engage in business and enjoy the safeguards of equitable law and strictly maintained order; and that it's establishment has been of vastly more benefit to China than it has been to England is beyond question. Incidentally, the whole world has shared these benefits as freely as the world, without asking leave, may share the British privileges of London. The affairs of the colony, of Hong

THE GRIZZLY OUR

(Prichard Eaton)


 Ihe Srlzzly was once the monarch of the western ranges. Nothing disputed ms title till man came with the rifle or man the grizzly now has a most in- teDlgenr fear, except in places where he IS protected and fed. Fierce and for midable fighter that he is, he doesn't light man unless he is driven to it. but with the keenness of his tribe (the bear is one of the most intelligent of beasts) he avoids danger so far as DOS sible, and has developed much clever ness at it.
 The testimony of all western hunters agrees on the great caution a grizzly uses before crossing an open or ap- preaching dead horse or COW put out for bait, frequently charging all the bushes around to drive out possible foes in ambush as a preliminary to feeding. That the mountain lion is a real foe of the bear our hunter de- nied- The mountain cat is a coward, Once. he said, he had put out a dead horse for their bait, and watched from a tree two lions feeding on the car cass.

Silvertip resumed his repast as if nothing had happened. He did not even look around to see how far the lion fell or what he was going to do when he got up. Evidently the bear felt quite sure of his position. He was justified in this confidence, for the lion rose and with his mate suked snarling off into the timber.

A sailor whose family the Red
Cross befriended sent to the head
quarters of the organization at
Washington one of the thousands
of medals struck off by the Germans
in anticipation OF their triumphal
entry into Paris. He procured it on
one of his voyages and presented it
to the Red Cross as the best means
he had at that time Of showing his
appreciation of the friendship and
help extended to his family in an
hour OF need.
Not only docs--the work OF the
civilian relief department stand out
pre-eminently for humanitarian.
but it makes for the morale of the
army and navy. Morale is the spirit
which made it impossible for Ger
many to annihilate the British and
Canadians in the first gas attacks
at Ypres; morale is that intangible
something which sends soldiers
across No Mans Land with songs
on their lips, something that cannot
be manufactured, something that
can come only with the confidence
that Everything is all right at
home the knowledge that their
families are having the care which
they should have. And this is what
the Red Cross is doing with its civ
ilian relief work-making for the
morale of our soldiers, those who
are in this country and those who
are fighting in France.

a soldier will fight his best if he
does not know that his mother, his
wife or his children, or all OF them,
are receiving the proper care. But

The corporation in consequence
of magnitude of its business, most
of which directly or indirectly IS in

government and its allies, had hoped
to avoid the necessity OF engaging

upon. but was persuaded by the war
department that it was imperatiyely
required under existing conditions.

HUNTS UP DEPENDENTS

By Corbin r. Cole.

st. Louis, May l0-lf the civilian
relief department of the American
Red Cross constituted the whole OF
that wonderful organization, the
Red Cross still would be one OF the
biggest factors in winning the war
for America and her allies.
Those in the Southwest who know
the immense good which this de
partment Of the Red Cross does
will dig deep into their pockets
when the second war fund cam
paign OF the Red Cross begins
May 20.
If YOU were called to distant
land suddenly and compelled to
leave your family in such condi-
ton that shortly afterward they
were in want, and if a friend cared
for your family and comforted them
in your absence, that friend
would have a place in your heart
forever after. That exactly typihes
the service which the civilian relief
department of the Red Cross gives
the dependent families of American
soldiers and sailors who have gone
20 France or who are going to
France to do the grim work of war.
Particularly effective service has
been rendered by this department
in the Southwestern division OF the
Red Cross. There are 200 home
service sections in the thirteen divi-
sions of the Red Cross. Six hun
dred of them. or more than one
fifth. are in the Southwestern dVl-
sion, comprising Missouri Arkan-
sas. Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas.
In other words, every chapter with
the exception of so in this division
has a home service section.
Oklahoma holds the division rec
ord in this respect. That state has
105 chapters and l0S home service
sections. Other states OF the dlyi-
sion are expected to be 100 per cent
home service section within d short
time.
