THE TIME HAS ARRIVED when
all men and women of the entire
country must realize that each has a
duty and a responsibility resting upon
them as individuals. The following
facts may assist to bring this realiza-
tion. and we recommend that the fol-
lowing be read carefully. and with
thought as to what it means TO every
man, woman and child in the land
We fought and won the Spanish war
with 10000 soldiers and a $20OO00,-
900 bond issue. In men under arms
we now have ten times that number.
We issued ten times that amount of
bonds in the first Liberty loan. We
are proposing to spend and loan to
the allies in the first fiscal year of the
war $19,OOO.OOO,OOO From now until
the end of this fiscal year the treasury
anticipates needing $3OO0OO,OOO a
week-that is. the treasury has got to
fight financially a Spanish war every
four days. That indicates a money
measure Of the size of this work. but
that is not the real measure. We
have just seen that one might have
plenty Of money, but an empty coal
bin. In just the same way the gov
ernment can have plenty of money,
but an unequipped army. This army
cannot be equipped as modern war
fare demands if the man power of the |
country is at the same time called .
upon to produce all of our ordinary
comforts and luxuries. It is as plain
as two and two that all of us must
make personal sacrifices, must give
up comforts and luxuries, even neces-
sary expenditures that can be post
Doned, if there is to be labor and ma
terial enough to equip the army in
time for it to fight while it will do
some good to have it fight.
In war the only effort that is Of any
7alue is that which is ultimately
translated into gun fire on the field of
'attle. The gun fire that will win
his war cannot be delivered until all
recognizes individual respon-
ibility, until the whole people Join in
he effort by giving up things that
hey can do without, so that the labor
hat would have been employed in
making those things can do work that
7ill ultimately result in gun fire. &
'he government has offered the op- !
ortunity to translate at once every :
ne's personal patriotism into the sort '
I help that will win the war. Forego '
uying something that is unneces-
ary; loan the money you would have
sed to the government by buying IS
ar savings certificates. You will

ave given credit to the government. S

I'VE have a war to win"
Herbert Hoover
If every one in this country would
follow the above suggestion by Food
Administrator Hoover there would be
plenty of meat, wheat, sugar and fat
to supply our armies abroad and
enough to keep our allies from starv-
ing.
Despite the fact that they are COM
PEELED to do hard manual labor, me-
chanics and laborers of Delaware are
doing their bit to win the war in
building ships and making munitions,
but they must aid by conserving the
foods that are absolutely necessary
for our soldiers and our allies.
Hotels, restaurants and boarding
houses of Wilmington are having
Beefless Days on Tuesdays, Wheat
less Days on Wednesdays, and Pork
less Days on Saturdays and are now
planning one meal each day without
meat of any character. This request
of the Food Administration also ap-
plies to rural Delaware to be equally
as patriotic. In this conservation
program the boarding houses and ho-
tells must have the cooperation of
their patrons. The man or woman
who asks for meat on a meatless day
has a suspicion cast upon them in the
eyes of the waiter. The answer
is that there is no meat being
served.
What the mechanics of Wilmington
are doing is best enthusiastically car
ried out in thousands of homes in
Delaware. Housewives are almost
solidly behind the Hoover program.
The question is, what are you doing?
Are you having meatless and
wheatless and pOrkless days? What
the skilled labor of the larger cities |
are conserving is a patriotic work
that the agriculturist should follow. |
The food conservation program is
meant for farmers and grangers as
we'll as for the city labor man. |
French, English, Italian, and our own
experts tell us food conservation is |
if this war is to be won.
NOW IS the time for every good |
eater to come to the aid of his coun- |
.ry.
In the matter of food substitution is
lot starvation.
The Food Administration asks you
or the former in order to avoid the
after.
Remember, that being slave to
'our eating habits is one way of help
ng the Kaiser and prolonging the
var.
The proper study Of mankind Cjust /

States has always been an incomplete
affair because of the difficulty of keep

The following letter by Windham
county farmer to the Brattleboro Re
former contains much food for
thought during these times of conser-
walton:
"l recently had an argument with
the county game warden in regard TO
wild game on about the following
lines
The state assumes to own the wild
deer the bshes in the brooks and the
water that runs in the brooks, the
foxes and the skunks, and the coons
and the muskrats, and the partridges
and the woodcock, and the wild birds.
IF the state owns these things 1t
owns also the woodchucks, the crows.
the grasshoppers and the potato bugs,
and is responsible for the damage
they do The county warden says,
there is no law for that" but how
about the common law that those
who assume or claim ownership of
anything are responsible for damage
done. If the state owns the wild
things it owns all of them.
Now the farmers suffer immense
damages in the aggregate every year
from these sources; it is a continual
fight against animal, bird and insect
pests. The farmer has to feed and
support these things that the state
assumes TO own, and the farmer has
to bear the damages, and at the same
time he is forbidden to protect him
self at all times and under all circum
st9nce..
The state admits its liability in pay
ing for damage done by deer, but
these payments are unusually made
quate and deer are only one of the
numerous wild things that do damage
and the burden of support and dam

GUARD TO BE IN SPOT LIGHT
State Troops VIII Have Major Place
in Thoughts of General Public,
Says Regular Officer.

at seems to me-" remarked an Off
Ger of long experience, according to
the Army and Navy Journal, that a
little friendly, earnest advice to our
National Guard units would be strictly
in order at this time. The members
of the former state regiments are pc
cullarly placed in the great organiza-
tlon which is To include all our forces.
They will have major place In the
thoughts OF the general public, which
always has ignored, cxccpt In the most
abstract way. the existence of rcgu'
lar army. Unless things 20 wrong The
Guard will be over the water and in
the midst of things before the regis
tered lads have mastered The intrlca-
cies Of extended field mancuyers. And,
without dwelling on the Justice Of it,
you can bet that Company q of po-
dunk will be mentioned bftcner in the
press stories thun any similar unit of
PerShing's boys. For this reason and
others, l would say TO our Guardsmcn:
"The National Guard VIII soon be
engaged in one of the largest and most
difficult undertakings. in military
way, that has been attempted in this
country since the Civil war. That is
your mobilization at camps transfer

smoothness If every mar iack Of YOU
from hrigadier to rear-iilo private,
takes advantage of the experience
gained in the mobilization of last
