CHURCHES LAUNCH

Message From Hoover Appeal
ing for Conservation Read
at Sunday Services.
2OO,OOO,OOO TO BE FED
Administrator Appeals to the
Nations World Conscience
TO Relieve Need.

Conservation Week for World Re-
lief started yesterday morning ACCORDING
to Herbert Hoover's schedule. when
message from the National FOOD Al
minlstrator was read IN the churches
appealing to the world conscience 10
help supply the food necessary to wipe
out famine conditions in middle Eu-
rope. The week, which will be dedi-
Gated TO a consideration OF Americas
opportunity for renewed service anu
opportunity" Institutes a campaign Tor
voluntary food saving to keep the MD
summer food pledge to the Allies.
BY the terms Of this promise 1t was
guaranteed that the United states
would send to Europe in the months
to come sufficient food to feed about
120, 900, 900. The ending OF the war
however. made It necessary to pro-
vide food for newly liberated nations
and now, It Is found there are 2oo'-
00O. 900 Europeans who must be pro-
yisioned. The contract OF shipping w.
0Oo. 600 tons OF foods overseas Is TO
feed these.
Mr. Hoover's message. as made puo-
lie in the churches was as follows:
Last summer. when the military
situation was acute, we assured the
Tnterallled Food Conference in London
that whatever the war food pro-
gramme of the Allies required we were
prepared to meet.
Altered, but Not Lessened.
THE change in the foreign situation
necessarily alters the details OF our
food programme, because the freeing
of the seas from the submarine men
ace renders accessible the wheat sup
piles OF India, Australia and the Ar
sentine. The total food demand upon
the United States IL not diminished
however. On the contrary, 1t is In
creased.
I'm addition to the supplying OF
those TO whom we are already pledged
| We now have the splendid opportunity
and obligation of meeting the needs OF
those millions OF people in the hitherto
occupied territories who are facing ac-
| tual starvation. The people OF Bel
! GUM, northern France, Serbia, hu-
mania, Montenegro. Poland, Russia
and Armenia rely upon America fol
| immediate aid, We must also par
! ticipate IN the preservation OF the
newly liberated nations in Austria
! nor can we ignore the effect on the
! future world developments Of a famine
/ condition among those other people
whom we have recently released from
| our enemies.
THE determining factor for the sue
cess OF such an enlarged appeal will
be the vivid consciousness in every in
dividual Of obligation and opportunity
| Such an intelligent world conscience
in the American people must be the
main dependence OF the stricken coun-
tries of the world until normal condi-
tons are once more restored.

PIONEER PRESS NAMED
OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER

Pioneer Press: At a meeting of
the board of county commissioners
held here Wednesday afternoon the
Pioneer Press was named the coun-
ty official paper to take effect June
1st, 1918. The Press was selected
as the official paper in accordance
with chapter II of the 1917 session
laws, which provides that the con-
tract for county printing shall be
awarded to the paper which is most
suitable and efficiently equipped to
handle the work. The Press being
located as it is here at the county
seat and from the fact that we have
the most complete and efficient job
plant in this section, the printing of
the county can be handled in a much
more satisfactory manner with less
loss Of time and at a considerable
saving of expense in handling the
details and delivering the work than
has ben the case heretofore, when
the official printer was located at
some distant point.
