ment in Washington I'd. CD newspa-
pers the statement was made that q
OS2,637 workingmen had petitioned
President Wilson. congress and the
council OF national defense otto de-
prive them OF beer. Two days there
after a two-page ad appeared signed
by officials of the Strengthen America
Campaign" inaugurated by the Fed
eral Council of Churches. It presented
the following facts:
1. According to the latest Official re-
port of the secretary, there are less
than 2,o82,6 1897 members in the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor.
2. Yet the number of alleged signers
of this petition from but % states Is
greater than the total membership
of the American Federation Of Labor
throughout the entire country.
8. As a matter OF fact this petition
was not signed by individual working
men.
4. In most cases a small minority OF
the members Of the organizations men
toned presumed to speak for their en-
tire membership.
5. Only 445 local bodies out of d.
600 local labor unions are listed as
having signed the petition.
6. Only local labor bodies have a
right to speak officially for the great
mass of American workingmen, and
more than Fl 800 of these did not sign
the petition.
z. Such state declarations Of labor

mated by bartenders and brewery work.
ers do not represent the great major

8. In many cases In the unsigned adj
vertisement individual trade unionists
are counted again and again in the pc
titioh presented to the president and
congress, being counted, first, in their
international organizations; second, in
the state bodies; third, in the central

fit societies, etc.
8. Over 10000 of those enumerated

trades departments, labor temples.
sick benefit funds, mutual benefit soci-
cites and Personal Liberty leagues, are
counted a second time In bona-fide
labor unions.
The petition. say the managers of
the Strengthen America" movement,
is SANDER and an insult to vast num-
bers OF the finest type of American
workingmen who are altogether OPP
posed to the liquor traffic.

WALTON
WALTON


The housewives of America have sustained
their interest in food conservation to an extent
which is most gratifying as evidence OF their
LOYALTY and patriotism and of their willingness
stration.
Department stores in many of the large cities
have called on home demonstration agents to
assist them in giving instruction in food con-
servation to their customers and employees. In
some stores special rooms have been equipped
where demonstrations are given and literature
distributed Attractive booths have been set in
the aisles of others where exhibits of war cook
ing are shown and recipes are given out. The
agents have worked with the window decorators
in planning window exhibits. In many places
wheat substitutes. have been featured in demon
strations and each purchaser has been supplied
with recipes and instructions for using them.
Classes for employees after hours have been ar
ranged. In some cities the agent meets these
-roups regularly every week.
More than a hundred cooks in the Fenway sec
lion of Boston Mass, have received expert in
struction in food conservation from one of the
city home demonstration agents. house-to-
house canvass was made in that part of the
city to invite housekeepers to enroll their cooks

classes were organized with Is to 80 cooks in
each class. The lectures given in the living

In the South many women have taken the
course in home economics and dietetics and have

tion kitchens to receive instruction in carrying
out the food regulations. In Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, the agent is giving help to group of
cooks who are preparing cook book which they
expect to sell.
County home demonstration agents are MAX
ing it possible for many community fairs to serve
as real conservation schools for the women who
attend them In some cases special buildings
have been provided for women's work, which
not only house the exhibits prepared by the
women in the community but afford places
where modern household equipment and labor
savers are shown and where demonstrations are
given. At many of these local fairs the agent
arranged for demonstrations in canning and dry
ing in making bread, cheese, butter, and soap,
in dressmaking, in laundrying, and in fuel
saving
Miss Lonnie Landrum has conducted this
work at our fairs for several years and it is
largely through her efforts and those of Miss
Helen Carter that the women of this section
have taken so deep an interest in food conserva-
