TO IMPRESS URGENT NEED
OF FOOD CONSERVATION
Intensive Campaign Proposed in
Interest Of 10000, 900 Hungry
People in Europe.

To impress the American people
! with the need for food conservation
so that 300,000,000 hungry people in
Europe and the near east may be fed,
an intensive campaign is to be con-
Quoted next week by the United
States Food Administration.
This campaign is to be started next
Sunday, when message from Food
Administrator Hoover, now in Europe,
will be read in the churches through
out the land. During the week every
possible medium will be used to
awaken the nation to its opportunity
for renewed service and sacrifice for
the relief of millions released from
the Prussian yoke.
This period is to be known as "con-
servation week for world relief"
Each day Of it will be set aside for
Regarding the urgent necessity for
this campaign, the food administra-
ton today in a public statement says:
Food conservation is absolutely
vital to the relief Of stricken Europe.
Famine is the mother of revolt and
anarchy. If we allow hunger to take
it's toll Of life in Europe, the red
spread, and we will see a definite col
lapse Of the peace for which we
fought and bled. We entered the con-
fiict with the avowed purpose of es-
tablishing world peace, and if we
allow this to be disrupted by upris-
ings and anarchy we will have de-
stroyed the very thing for which we
entered the fray and which is now in
sight
I'm the coming year we must send
twenty million tons Of food to Europe,
practically the limit of loading ca
pacity at our ports. The magnitude
of this undertaking may better be I'M
derstood in comparison with our pre-
war exports of less than six million
tons per year and the export last year
of only 11,S20,000 tons"

WILL RUSH BACK
FARMER WARRIORS
Return to U. S. Of Soldiers
and Sailors Trained in Agri-
culture to Be Expedited.

Every effort win be made by the War
and Navy departments to return from
France with the utmost speed men who
have knowledge Of agriculture and who
are willing to work on the farms, it was
said in official circles today. The need
for farm 1aborers was never more ur-
gent than at the present time. The
food supply Of the World is dependent
upon the number of men who can be
recruited for agriculture.
Among the plans suggested to the
farm service division of the United
States employment service is one to
send a number Of representatives to
France to confer with commanding
sus Of the men who are ready and will
ing to go on farms. It is not proposed.
however, to ask the War and Navy de-
partments to give exclusive privileges
of return to men who will be available
for farm work.
It is proposed to suggest that as many
of this class as practicable shall be
included in the early return of men to
their homes. It is contended in the
report by the United States employment
100000 men on the farms. At any
rate they say this number could be
prof1tably used in developing the farms
of the country and increasing pro-
duction of fruits. cereals, vegetables
and every other kind of food.
Cowboys Much in Demand.
In the far west and southwest there
is great demand for cowboys. The
training the American soldiers have
received abroad especially fits them
for this kind of outdoor work. Stock
production must increase with the
production Of cereals and vegetables.
The number Of available cattle, sheep
and hogs has greatly diminished
since the beginning of hostilities.
Before the United States entered
the war abnormal world conditions
had already brought about shortage
of 100000 men on American farms"
the report of the farm service division
says. IF the industrial draft on farm
labor Is to continue the spring sea-
son of 1919 will find the farms abso-
lutely stripped of competent labor"
One effect of the war, officials of the
Department of Labor says, is to make
| life on the farm more attractive to
scores of thousands of American
youth. They have lived for many
months out Of doors and they will
not want to return to the atmosphere
Of factories in congested cities.

mist had cleared away from his syea
Before him he saw once more his old
enemy. mailman and the club. All Of
the wild ferocity Of his nature was
reused in an instant. Without reason
ing he knew that Gray Wolf was gone.
and that this man was accountable for
her going. He knew that this man
had also brought him his own hurt, and
what he ascribed to the man he also
attributed to the club. In his newer
undertaking Of things, born Of freedom
and Gray Wolf. man ard club were one
and inseparable. With q snarl he
leaped at Sandy. The man was not ex-
pecting a direct assa ult, and before he
could raise his club or spring aside
Kazan had landed full on his chest.
The muzzle about Kazan's jaws saved
him. Fangs that would have torn his
throat open snapped harmlessly. Tn
der the weight of the dogs body he
fell back, ~ II struck down BY a
catapult.
As quick as a cat he was on his feet
again, with the end of the babiche
twisted several times about his hand.
Kazan leaped again, and this time he
was met by furious swing Of the club.
1t smashed against his shoulder, and
sent him down In the sand. Before he
could recover Sandy was upon him.
with all the fury Of a man gone mad.
He shortened the babiche by twisting 1t
again and again about his hand, and
the club rose and fell with the skill and
strength Of one long accustomed to its
use. The first blows served only to
add to Kaxan's hatred Of man, and the
ferocity and fearlessness of his attacks.
Again and again he leaped In, and each
time the club fell upon him with a
force that threatened to break his
bones. There was a tense hard look
about Sandy's cruel mouth. He had
never known dog like this before, and
he was . bit nervous, even with Kaxan
muxzled. Three times Kazan's fangs
would have sunk deep In his flesh had
II not been for the babiche. And II the
thongs about his jaws should slip, or
break.
Sandy followed up the thought with
smashing blow that landed ON Ka-
san's head, and once more the old bat
tier fell limp upon the sand. AcTrig-
gers breath was coming In quick gasps.
He was almost winded. Not until the
club slipped from his hand did he
realize how desperate the tight had
been. Before Kaxan recovered from
the blow that had stunned him Sandy
examined the muxzle and strengthened
It by adding another babiche thong.
Then he dragged Kasan to Q log that
high water had thrown up oa the
shore few yards away and made the
end Of the babiche rope fast to dead
snaE. After that he pulled his canoe
higher up on the sand. and began to
prepare camp for the night.
For some minutes after Kasan's
stunned senses had become normal he
lay motionless. watching Sandy Nc.
