". 8. DRIVE HUGE
SUCCESS IN &C.,,
is REPORT MADE
Homing Pigeon Carries Proof
OF Knox's Loyalty To
Headquarters
PUSH FALLS DOWN In
CITY, COMMITTEE SAYS
New Canvass To Be Neces-
sary Here; One Enters
$1,000 Club

The most tangible evidence of the
SUCCESS of the bipartisan war savings
drive in Tie rural districts was con.
tanned in d message sent to Columbus
Friday afternoon by homing pigeon,
which was released from tho Wells
Fargo Express Co. Office at $3.50
O'Clock.
Thc message reported that sales OF
war stamps in Knox county for the
week ending June II were SOC G,SG7.i5,
bu, that no estimate OF the pledges
taken was available.
While the heads Of the bipartisan
canvass, $. G. Dowds and William
Banning, were naturally very much
cratified by the showing, it was point.
ed out that about 10 per cent of all
pledges were made rcdcemablc L.,
June, and that the report of the pres.
cnt week represents the bulk OF
them. II was also pointed out that
while the weeks figures look big.
they are small as compared with
some OF tho other counties of the
committee received IL telegram from
Columbus saying that the political
drive in Morrow county had sold the
entire balance of that ccunty's quota
in cash sales, and that the pledges
would give an ovcrsubsoriptiOn of 80
per cent. Coshocton county also sold
its years quota.
That the failure OF the drive in
Knox county to measure up to some
other counties is due TO the almost
complete fall-down Of the canvass IN
Mt. Vernon, is made clearer as the
figures are compiled. The amount
OF pledges thus far taken in the ith
ward, the committee says. amounts
to just $lS6S. Though some of the
other wards are believed to have
donc better. il is evident that even
the small quota Of $4,000 which Mt
Vernon was assigned has not been
reached, and that another canvass is
necessary il the quota is to be
pledged.
In contrast TO the discouragng re.
ports from MI Vernon which the
committee received Friday, was the
following telegram from Chicago.
81 hereby pledge myself to buy
war savings stamps, maturity value
81 600.

SU M MARY OF RULES,

Rules have been formulated by the
department to effect the necessary
saving of foods. Some of these rules
apply to manufacturers, wholesalers
and retailers under license regulations.
Others apply to the housewife and
stated briefly cover the following
points: The consumer is requested to
purchase an equal amount of soma
other cereal for all wheat flour pur-
chased. They may be used separately
CT mixed as the housewife chooses.
Purchase of Victory bread is strongly
urged. This will consist of a mini
mum of five per cent of cereal other
than wheat for the present, the per-
centage to be increased until on Feb
ruary Gath it will contain a minimum
percentage of twenty per cent. On
wheatless days and wheatless meals

where exceptions are necessary, appli-
cations should be made to state food
administrations.

Louisville, KY, Jan. 26.-Following
the issuance of a proclamation by
President Wilson calling for additional
food economies, Federal Food Admins
traitor Fred M. Sackett today made
known to the people of Kentucky the
contents of the Kitchen Card. This
card, which supersedes the Kitchen
Card distributed during Pledge Card
Campaign Week, October 2Sth to
November 18th, calls upon all the PEG.
pie of America to observe two wheat,
less days weekly, one meatless day
and one pOrkless day, as well as
wheatless and meatless meal every
day. Heretofore, only one wheatless
and one meatless day have been con.
sidered necessary.
The new regulations are addressed
particularly to the women who signed
the pledge cards, since they promised
to follow the directions and advice
Of the Food Administration" in so far
as their circumstances permit. The
women are expected, however, to in
duce the members OF their families to
follow these directions also, and the
proclamation Of the President makes
it plain that the population of America
must respond unanimously and with
a joyful heart if the war is to be won.
