To the American Farmer:

The winning of the world war,
the war of civilization against
savagery, rests, in the last an
alysis, with you.
Last year we increased the
planting of six food crOps-corn'
oats, rye, rice, buckwheat and
potatoes-by 100000 acres.
and we increased the production
of those crops by 900,0OO,OOO
bushels over the five-year aver
age.
But what we did last year is
not enough. 1t is merely an
earnest of what we must do this
year. Up to this time America
is not in the war % per cent.
If we are going to win the war.
we must get in 100 per cent.
We farmers must do our hon
est best to produce the greatest
quantity and the best quality OF
food crops that we have ever
grown.
City dwellers. as well as farm
ers, should make the best kitch-
en- gardens they know how to
make. Their wives should can
and dry the greatest possible
quantity of fruits and vegetables,
so that their own tables may be
supplied, so far as practicable,
by their own efforts. BY so do
ing they will "eat less freight"
as well as fewer food products
that can be transported to the
armies overseas.
We must keep stout and loyal
hearts; we must neither falter
nor doubt.-Assistant Secretary
of Agriculture.

LET'S HOLD THE LINE
BY NorreJs Jephsor o'conor of the
Vigilantes.

We hold the inc which stretches far,
From west arn towns to fields of
France.
Where now or brave bat 'alionS are,
Fighting to son the Huns advance.
We must not fail them In their need,
We who, in factory or field,
Are soldiers, too: we may not bleed;
Should we, then, find excuse to yield.
Because We pass in dreariness
Our days, or in the summer sun
Are hot, and worn with WEAKNESS?
IL our line breaks, the foe has won.
If we heed enemy alarms,
Vain IS the generals vast design,
And vain the soldiers deed of arms.
In freedoms name, let's hold the
line.

were made. From the foresight thus
gained the fuel administration was
enabled to interpret the actual need

be urged to save, say, 20 per cent

witout more definite restriction be

watch over the deliveries OF gasoline
TO various territories. il was then eX-

expectations in the way of reduced
consumption could be individually
investigated and more stringent
measures applied as required Some

In the meantime the voluntary
conservation of gasoline on the SIX
Sundays originally mentioned by the
fuel administration is estimated Of

during the first nine months OF the
current year, and 40 per cent more
