WILL LECTURE ON THE
WORLD FOOD SITUATION.

DR.. II. G. Culbertson Of the Ma
tional Food Administration Of Wash
ington. viii address the people of
Montpelier and vicinity ON war con-
ditiona In Europe and food conseEva-
tion in this country at the city hall
on Saturday night, March 16, at 8
O'Clock. The lecture viii be free and
1t 10 hoped that the people will turn
out in large numbers to hear DR.. Cul-
bertson. who has comprehensive
knowledge OF the European situation
gained from flFst-hand observation.
When the war started. DR. culbertson
was In Holland. Since America en-
tered the war he volunteered his SER
vices to the Food Administration and
came to Washington.
i In his address, DR.. Culbertson will
give a plain statement OF facts COW
ering the causes that led TO the pre@-
ent world food shortage.
"Oyer in Europe the people are
hungry, "Dr. Culbertson recently said:
IF they lived across the street from
you instead of across the ocean ycu
would realize the situation very much
more than you do today and II would
not be necessary TO make an urgent
appeal here In America for food
saving"
Zone Of the biggest factors. and
perhaps the deciding factor in thia
war, is the question of food" DR..
Culbertson continued.
I'm times OF peace Germany pro
duced four-fifths OF her own food sup.
plies. while England produced onis
one-fifth, France one-half. Belgium
: one-tenth and Italy two-thirds OF tbs
amount necessary for their people
The seas are Gown with German sub
marines and 1t In easier for Germany
I to starve our allies and own soldiers
ct the front. than 1t is for as to starv'
Germany. Germany may be hungrl
but she will not starve.
"under normal conditions befor'
> the war. the allied nations were com
PEELED to import an average Of fort
I percent of their food supply. Sine
Il the war commenced their production
! of food has greatly decreased. ThI
. farms Of France are producing on tn
: average barely half an much today >
they were producing in the yea
1913"
J Present-day conditions In Europ
I will be outlined by DR.. Culbertson
D particular attention being paid TO u
} food situation in the nations wit
: which America In associated II u
prosecution OF the war.
He will explain how America POI
e sesslng a greater abundance OF foo
. than the allied nations. must save, !
! order that starvation may not ovel
g take the allies and spell victory e

AMERICAN WOMEN CALLED
INTO COUNTRY'S SERVICE
Must Conserve Every Resource, Save
Labor and Money to Make Fourth
Liberty Loan Success.
BY MRS. ANTOINETTE FUNK,
Vice Chairman Woman's National Lib


erty Loan Committee.
This is a war that belongs to women.
1t is not being waged for conquest,
nor for glory, nor for any empty rite,
nor for material gain. 1t is war for
humanity, and wherever men, women
and children are concerned 1t Is wom-
ans business.
In this great world crisis that is
now upon us the president of the
United States has called American
women into the service Of the world.
Our allies remain unconquered be-
cause Of the devotion, heroism and
sacrifice Of their women. We, too,
shall prove invincible with the COM
plete conservation of our womanhood.
When Secretary McAdoo called the
women of America to do their part in
financing the world, he reminded them
that while battles were won by men,
wars were won by money, and that
money could only be raised with the
aid Of the nations women.
Women do not often handle large
sums of money, but a giant army Of
them hold a large per cent of the
fifties and the hundreds of the last
Liberty loan. Those with small saw
ings, too small to invest In high class
securities are purchasing the finest Sc
curities under the sun in the market
Of the world.
Money alone will not win the war.
al he tn ha
placed in shining heap, it would be
useless unless converted into terms Of
labor
Labor means everything that we
must use in the war-fOod, clothing,
munitions, ships, houses, railroads, all
everyday life of individuals and Of the
nation.
Woman must conserve labor as she
conserves food. No woman has a right
to anything to wear or to eat, to look
at or to listen to, that she can pos
sibly do without. All of these take
labor to produce and detract from the
necessities of war.
When the government has reached
out its hand and laid 1t on the lives
of it's men nothing else matters. When
our men have been asked to give all
life itself If need be-nothing that we
can do or suffer really matters.
What do the graces of life matter
when our plowshares are beaten into
swords? What does the quality OF
food or the kind of clothing matter
when men and women must ask them
selves, as my boy hungryT us he

has not already been given by the
youth that has marched out Of our
homes.
Liberty bonds are as good as coin of
the realm, but If they were not and
America needed the money, the women
of the nation would frame those bonds
and hand them down to their chill
dren's children as certificates of 10y
atty.
