Everybody Should Hear Him "How
We Can Help To Win the
War"
WILL BE HERE THURSDAY
Efficiency Week Will Be Observed in
All Parts of State, Jan. z
to IA

The State Foods Committee has
set the week of January to IA,
which begins next Monday, as EFF
ficiency Week." the purpose of which
will be to give out and study first
hand methods for bringing about a
greater efficiency and conservation
in the seven general lines of effort,
namely: Production, distribution,
preserving breeding stock, equip
ment, food and clothing, garden and
fruits, and labor.
The Food Administration and all
other branches of the Federal Gov
ernment, realizes keenly the grave
need for a more extended economy in
the use of wheat and other army
necessities. They also appreciate the
fact that it is hard for us, who live
in the heart of the great food crops
production area of the country, to
fully realize the seriousness of the
situation. We of the middle west
have not as yet felt the effect of the
war to the extent that our eastern
cousins have and for that reason it is
in this state, when all organizations
will set aside some time when mat
ters of vital interest may be soberly
discussed and plans for local execu-
tion of the ideas be perfected and
carried out.
In order to make plans for Eff
cheney Week" in Morris, a meeting
was held Monday night at the Com
mercial Club rooms and all organiza-
tions of the city were represented.
It was decided to hold meetings on
one day only, rather than observe
every day, and next Thursday, Jan
uary 10, was sent aside as the date
and this will be a big day in the his
tory of Morris Judge J. F. Wilson
of Saltwater, State Field Agent for
the Minnesota Food Administration,
will be present and will speak at two
big meetings that day, one in the
afternoon for the pupils of the
schools and one in the evening at
eight o'clock for adults, both meet
ings to be held in the Orpheum
theatre Judge Wilson has had wide
experience as a lecturer and writer
and he comes at this time with a
message that every citizen of Stevens
county should hear, for he will tell
us how we can help win the war.
Besides Judge Wilson's address, the
local committee has arranged for
the production of one or more War
Films and music will be furnished by
the Ideal Orchestra.
It is desired that everyone should
attend this meeting and there should
be a representative Of at least two
members from every organization in
Stevens county-lodges, churches,
Women's organizations, womenFs
clubs, farm clubs, commercial clubs,
Red Cross chapters, school organiza-
tions, etc. Every teacher in the
county should be present at this
meeting also. There will be no
charge for admission. People are
urged to set all social and other obli
cations aside for this day and give
their undivided attention to the sub
ject. Our country is at war and we
uuSI Will. IIduopo1 I1ItOh, O4uAp
ment, labor, production, everything
in fact will, as time passes, feel more
and more the effects of the war and
we need to start now to make our
plans for greater results in every line
of effort. This will mean efficiency
and everyone will be depended upon
to help wherever possible.
Don't forget the date of the big
meeting in Morris, next week, Thurs
day, and don't miss the opportunity
of hearing Judge Wilson.
