United States Food Administration,
Wednesday, July 81, 2 p. m. at the NJ
Z. Church, South, Second street,
Maysville. Every woman who has
signed a Food Pledge Card is asked
to come. The success of the demon
stration at the Germantown Fair re-
quires the presence at this meeting
of the Colonel of every one of the
twenty-five voting precincts and of
those women in each precinct who
can arrange entertainments and drill
children.
Miss Lula Logan, member of the
Exhibits, Posters and Slogans, sub
committee, of the Committee of Ken
lucky Fair Exhibits of the United
States Food Administration, will be
here to talk over plans for the var
ious features of the demonstration at
the Tri-County Fair. Miss Logan
comes at the expense of the Exten-
sion Division of the Home Economics
Department of Kentucky State Uni
versity.
The food work at the fair comes
under three heads: Education in the
principles of combining foods, taught
by lecture at the tent; education in
the art of preparing war foods, taught
by the demonstrators at the tent, and
the spectacular which has education
al and advertising value.
The programme for the week will
consist of lectures, preparation of war
foods, play, pantomine, parades, pag-
cants and exhibits.
The work of preparing for the dem
onstration is being shared by the
Food Administration of Mason, Brack-
en- and Robertson counties. The lee
turer and the demonstrators come al
state expense and much of the educa'
tional and advertising material is fur
nished by the Federal Government
However, State and Federal expense
are only taxpayers expense and it Il
the part of business prudence to ge
the full value of the money we pa,
in taxes, by making the most of thi
opportunity to learn lessons of whicl
we shall have increasing need as tn
task of conquering the Hun prog
resses.
We can spare from these war du
ties women whose children can no
with safety be left and women VIII
have care of the sick or aged too fee
bile to be left alone, but we can no
spare women to entertain company o
to make visits.
, When we are daily seeing our me
shipped out of the country and real
ize where and for what they are &c
ing, when our vessels are sunk Of
, our Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific Coas
by German Submarines, let no woma
discredit her intelligence or her pa
triotism by making trivial excuse
; when vital part of the war pre-
, gramme summons her to service
. Win the war first is the slogan of ev
cry good American.
Let us do all we can to carry an
drive home the message that victor
depends upon Food which Americ
; only can furnish. The object of tn
lectures, parades, pageants and eS
hbits at the Fair is to induce NOR
people to want to save food; the OF
ject of the demonstration in food pre-
paration is to teach them how to say
without physical detriment If on
people do without the foods to whic
they are accustomed and do not lear
, to use substitutes in a wholesome
palatable way, we shall suffer detenc
walton and loss of efficiency. Wi
