they turn and twist.
 A score or more of aviators, per spring in Arctic furs, fur-lined hel- nets and boots hasten here and there while men in oiled and greasy khaki cling to the wings of the air planes tugging to be free.
 Nestling in the border of trees are tiny bungalow huts covered with branches or canvas to conceal them from prying enemy aviators. Half a dozen grotesquely camouflaged hang ars are scattered about the field.
 The airplanes of this squadron are not quite the fantastically painted machines used by most of the pur- suit pilots, but they are still rather kaleidescopic and each bears the humorously conceived insignia of a red colored devil within a white tri- angle, who with one hand holds a white bomb, and with the other thumbs his nose sarcastically down ward toward the Boche underneath

Our simple formula for the coming year is to further reduce consumption and waste of ALL FOOD, laying es- pecial emphasis on the staples.
 We must export 1S,OOO,o0O tons of foodstuffs during the coming year as against 100000 last year.
 The American people can do this by voluntary action.
 The new program is less specific but no less definite than that of the last twelve months. The coming year will be a steady pull directed to the whole food situation and not so much as to particular commOdi- ties. After a years experience the Food Administration is on a new footing in this country and abroad. The ways have been learned, the methods have been developed. The war conscience is active everywhere.
 Since the birth of Christ there has never been such momentous time as there is taday, and yet some people drift along not getting thor oughly into the war.
 The food clubs of Alaska and every individual are asked to put their shoulders to the wheel, to save food as never before, sacrifice until it hurts, study the food budget and food ways to see if they cannot buy less, serve less, return nothing to the kitchen and practice the gospel of clean plate, to the end that our promise to the Allies may be fulfilled. If this is not done it will cost an additional million lives.
 The Food Administration appeals to the intelligence in the homes and public eating places of America to work out for themselves the means and manner of saving.
 Again, let it be said, that the Food conservation program for the coming year is to provide for shipment half as much again of the necessary foods as were exported last year; while the war lasts to maintain the health, comforts and courage of the Allies;
The Alaska daily empire., 1918-10-25

when the war ends, to rescue and re- store all feeble folk who sit at the common table. To reach these ends America must save food. There must be no let up anywhere at any time.
 Can any true American, especially the sturdy sons and daughters of the far Northland sit back in the face of the above, and say that there is nothing more to be done? It is not enough to take off your hat to the Flag, roll up your sleeves, get in and dig and do something and do it with all your might. Right now and for the coming year there is greater need of food conservation than ever before, all along the line.
 New Home Card
 Distribution of the new Home Card has been postponed until December 1st on account of the influenza in the various military camps which prevented a proper distribution among the 3O,O0O,OOO. homes in Amer ica. The card will set forth con cisely and point out the salient facts of the 1918-19 food program. It is not scrap of paper" but the very foundation of our needed years work We must give to it every energy and effort The new Home Card is the reflection on parchment of the will ingness to assume individual respon sibility and Is one of the greatest proofs of the character and idealism of our people.
