Gospel to 100000 Homes
THE message\ of food conservation

TINE message, of food conservation
has been carried personally to
10000 homes in Omaha, accord
ing to the report of the first years
1 work, issued by Miss Nellie Farms
worth, emergency home demonstra-
ton agent for, the government. This
monumental task was accomplished
by thar splendid organization, the
Central Conservation council, which
Miss Farnsworth instituted in Oma-
ha. Mrs. R. E. Winkelman, chair
man, and Mrs. E. B. Gwynne-
! Vaughans secretary, spread the con-
scrvation gospel by square block
campaign, enlisting the aid of over
1000 block captains.
South Lincoln district, captained
by Mrs. G. N. Sears, made the record
for the largest number of calls, l,624
in all. Saunders, Mrs. R. E. VIM
kelman, was second with 1000 per-
sonal calls Webster, Mrs. c.. ].
Johnson: Park, Mrs. Lysle Abbott;
Clifton Hill, Mrs. F. E. Gilbert; Gem
trail, Mrs. J. H. Craddock, and Miller
Park, Mrs. $Dena Gregg, chairman,
each reported more than 700 calls.
The work has taken little different
form in Kellom district, where the
talks have been given to groups in
various societies. Miss Lottie Gutt-
man is chairman. In Long district
Mrs. A. S. Pinto, chairman,
written reports were brought in of
the conditions found in each home.
In Pacific district, Mrs. L. A. Kiger,
chairman, two meetings have been
held where interpreters aided in max
ing clear the message. Many calls
have been made, but owing to sew
eral classes of foreigners it was not
nossible to give each personal mes
sage. ~ .

THE BIG DRIVE.

Although not to be considered as
wholly favorable TO the allies, the news
that is coming from the western front
on the fifth day of the great German of
fensive may be taken as fairly hopeful.
After the first tremendous burst of the
attack there had to come a comparative
lulu while the Germans were bringing up
their guns and massing their infantry
for continued attack; and at the same
time the British were, of course. busy
mastering their reserve strength and
strengthening their positions to which
they had retreated Then came the third
stage of the battle or rather the second
attack which was delivered with less
effectiveness by the assailant because of
the heightened line of communication
with his bases and because the British
had recovered somewhat from the shock
of the first blow Thus the offensive of
the Germans slowed down considerably
and there is reason to hope that the Brit
ish will be able, perhaps with reinforce
ments, eventually TO check the Germans
dead in their tracks. 1t is to be expected,
however, that the British will suffer some
more reverses, lose many prisoners, a

YOU MUST SAVE WHEAT,

The next three months are going TO b,
crucial time in the food supply condi.
tions OF the allies It will be three
months before the wheat harvest begins
to come in and before we may hope for
relief. In that time the countries which
are fighting with us for the preservation
of the stability of the world will depend
upon the United States for great part
of their wheat supply. Their demands
already have pulled heavily on the Amer.
lean supply, and there is far less wheat
stored than one could hope for in such
an emergency. In fact, there is such a
shortage that every one of US must begin
now to save wheat If we already have
not done so. 1t is imperatively required
that the American people turn to corn
and other products in order to save
wheat, the product which can be shipped
to our allies without being damaged We
must save wheat during the next three
months. We can do it by cutting down
the quantity of pies, cakes, doughnuts
and other forms of food which demand
considerable amount of wheat Let
every housewife take it upon herself
without further notice to reduce the bak-
