FOOD WINS THE WAR DON'T WASTE IT

By John J. Cornwall, Governor oL
 West Virginia

Tho task of this country. in the present war. would be greatly sgmpurel and greatly reduced in Is magnitude were all our coun rry's enemies il the GeHuan and Austrian armies. The iact thar there are hundreds of thousands, even millions. of enemies scattered all oyer our land. either conSpr- ing 70 poison our soldiers or to poIsOu public opinion that sup ports them; cOnspiriuE to dyna- mite industries making munitions and supplies for our Allies or to dcmoralizo public oDintou aud de- sJroy the morale of tha people up- on whom the meq iG our Army and Navy must rely for supp"TC-- these facts and rhess activities mean not only a prolon@2tton of the war and a larger loss of life, ,out 1t means te2rs otherwise u"- shed and sorrow otherwise un- known.
 The forces of evil. Of d2SorSan- ization, of diSloyaIC aud of eumity 70 America and it's Institutions ure manifesttng themtselyes iu many ways. Many good people uncon- sciously fau victim 10 those sinister forces wher they complain of slight iuconyenieuces resuItina from war conditions: when they agitate, rail. and criticize because their business is suspended fer Q few days or their profits ara leSsenei by few dollars; when they al lew the spirit of selfishness and of greed to temporarily outweigh and overbalance the spirit of sac~ifice aui of service.
 Greed and gain are not weapons. with which We can win this war. They are the motives that inspired 1t, as manifested and tllu9trated when Germany undertakes to talk ssparate peace with Russia, wanting to absorb a large portion ot that country and to dOminate the rest. We can win the war only with sacrifices. sacrifices yet undreaned of; with service. Ser vice greater than we have Ruticipat- ed. Above all. let Us keep watch and guard in order that the en- emY may not, by insidious propa- ganda, by faISehoOd, innuendos, and agitatioDs. demOraGze the peO- ple at hong uron whose sOldierly and patriotic cooperation the men In our Army and Navy aret depeud- sug.
