Mr.. Hoover recently said: "Wheth |
er or not the allies win this war will be
decided in the next eight months by
the manner in which American supplies
herself and her allies with food. We
depend largely on accomplishing this
result through patriotism calling for
sacrifice and service from individuals,
and utility and service on the part of
commercial interests as distinguished
from rapacity.' The department of
agriculture is bending all its energies
to increase food production not only
on the farms but also in the back wards
and vacant lots of town and city. The
government issues many pamphlets and
leaflets on food production and the con
servation and right use of food Many
of these can be obtained at the Brat

A HERO EVERY DAY
Brave Deeds of Men in Americas
Fighting Service.

For devotion to duty in going through
a steam-filled room and by quick action
saving their ship, Floyd McCurdy and two
sailor mates have been commended for
bravery. The bottom valve of the boiler
had been carried away and the engine
rooms were sitting with clouds of steam
Through the efforts of these men and their
hauling OF the fires serious results were
averted. McCurdy enlisted in the navy in
1912 at Philadelphia. His next of kin is
his father, Joel McCurdy of Williams,
