OUR GREAT TASK
BY Herbert Hoover.

n you could stand In the middle Of
Europe today and survey the land 10
Its borders, you would discover it's
whole population OF 400, ,000,000 human
beings short OF food. Millions OF peo-
pie in Poland. Finland, Serbia, Ar
menia and Russia are dying OF starva-
ton and other. millions are suffering
from too little food. Our Allies and
the neutrals are living on the barest
margins that will support life and
strength.
This. the most appalling and dread.
full thing that has come to humanity
since the dawn OF civilization, In TO
me the outstanding creation OF Ger.
man militarism. The Germans them
selves are not the worst sufferers.
They are extorting at the cannon's
mouth the harvests and cattle OF the
people they have overrun, leaving
them in desolation. II the war We're
TO cease tomorrow, the toll of actual
dead from starvation within the Ger.
man lines would double or treble the
100000 or 100000 of men who have
been actually killed by Germany and
her allies in arms. The 10000. 900 peo-
pie in occupied Belgium and Northern
France would have died of starvation
had II not been for us and the Allies.
We must build our food resources
TO stand ready for any demands upon
us by the Allies. II 10 OF no purpose
to US to send millions OF our best to
France II we fail to maintain the
strength OF their men, women and
children on our lines OF communica-
tion. This United States is the last
reservoir OF men, the last reservoir OF
ships, the last reservoir OF munitions
and the last reservoir OF food upon
which the Allied world must depend
IL Germany is to be defeated and II
we are TO be free men.

Now Is the time to cat and to pre-.
serve home grown products. Perish
able fruits are coming on the market,
the gardens are making available daily
supplies OF food that will take the
place OF the commercial canned ar.
ticies that are needed for shipment
abroai Sugar has been made avail
able for home canning purposes and
the supply Is good at the present time.
The home garden and the canning OF
Its products means more this year
than II ever did before because It will
play very important part In keeping
the fighting forces supplied with the
kind OF food they need at the time
they need II most.

UNCLE JED'S TALK TO WIDE
 INTAKES.

Spiders like toads are ugly looking creatures, but very active and useful workers in the fields of nature.
 A great many funny stories have been told about the boys in many gen. eratons who tied strings to their toes and dropped them from the window so that the first boy out on the morn ing of Independence day might pull the string and awaken them.
 I am going to tell you how the spid- CTS attached a cord to their leg to make their enemies call them when in their web. You have seen great webs in the fields with no spiders near them: but there was always a spider nearby, and if you shake the web lightly he will come running to it. He lis watching or dozing some ten or twelve feet away with a web of his own spinning attached to his foot and when this cord is pulled it calls him to business. and he proceeds to para lyze his victim and make him fast for food
 Spiders hid and hunted under water centuries before man invented the diving bell or the U-boat. They had way of taking a supply of air under water with them in bubbles. as the muskrat does, and certain spiders are said to have invented the first diving bell, for man thousands of years af- i ter them discovered that beneath a | bell filled with air he could work un- der water.
 And do you know there are bee ties that shoot a .vapor at their ene- mics and that carry flashlights and do lots of things men are doing to- day for theid protection.
 There is even a saber grass that is razor-edged which is dangerous to man. it cuts him so before he is hard | ly aware of it.
 There is something new to be learn ed in the fields or in the sky every l day, and that is the reason we should 1 all keep our eyes open.
 Don't be a dozer! A dozer is a stacker when there is no war You cannot be a dozer and at the same time be a Wide-Awake.
