HOOVER'S MESSAGE.

Again in full confidence, call upon
the American people to set aside Sun
day, December /, and the week follow
ing, for the consideration of Ameri-
cas- opportunity for renewed service
and sacrifice.
Last summer, when the military sit
uation was acute, we assured the in
ter-allied food conference in London
that whatever the war-food program
of the allies required we were prepar-
ed to meet; that the conference need
not consider whether or not we had
the supplies-we were prepared to
find them; we pledged ourselves, by
the voluntary economy of our people,
to have the reserves in food to supply
all necessities. The ending of the war
does not release us from the pledge.
The same populations must be fed,
and until another season has passed
they cannot feed themselves.
The change in the foreign situation
necessarily alters the details of our
food program, because the freeing of
the seas from the submarine menace

1917, l decided that something should
be done to establish short route be-
tween the west coast Of the state and
the middle west and west. Having
heard that any such route must go
through Perry, l went there to inves-
tigate condiitnos. I had determined
that if necessary | and some friends
of mine would build the 81 miles of
track needed between Perry and Mon
ticello. We would then be in posi-
ton to go before the interstate COM
merce commission and demand that A.
c. L. trains be routed over the direct
route that this construction would
make available.
However, l quickly found that it
would not be necessary to build foot
of track, that all facilities were pres
ent to establish the road at once and
that only the attitude of railway Of
icials stood in the way. I came to
St. Petersburg at once and laid the
matter before the governors of the
board of trade. They saw the advan-

To the Citizens of Tarpon Springs,

To the Citizens of Tarpon Springs,
and to All Lovers of Gods People:
You, who have so nobly stood behind
the armies of Liberty, saving, con-
serving, producing food that these
armies might continue and win the
fight for justice and Liberty, are
again called upon to renew your eff
forts to produce and conserve every
particle of food that it is possible for
you to produce or save.
The urgent demand for this food is
not, as some might believe, to feed the
Germans, but it is intended to prevent
famine among our allies-the British,
French, Italians, Belgians, Serbs,
Greeks, and all who have stood
shoulder to shoulder with our own
men in building an impregnable fence
of men and steel around the enemy of
civilization, which fighting under the
flags of Germany, Austria and Tur-
key, sought to enslave the world.
The food you produced and saved
enabled this army of Liberty to sub
due and crush the powers of darkness,
and you are being called upon now to
continue to produce and save food that
these people (our, allies) may be fed.
AS to feeding our enemies, we feel
and believe that, after thorough in
vestigation has revealed the fact that
the women and children of the enemy
countries are starving, that our
friends are all fed, those who have the
milk of human kindness in their
breasts will be willing to give what
food may be left that the enemy may
the sooner be able to work for and re-
store a portion of the great damage
they have done the civilized world
You are also urged to attend church
Sunday, Dec. 1. and hear the message
to you from Herbert Hoover read.
If our memory serves US right, the
Scriptures say:
IF thy enemy hunger, feed him;

Mayors Proclamation
(Issued November 20, 1881

renders accessible the wheat supplies
of India, Australia and the Argentine.
| The total food demand upon the Unit
led States is not diminished, however.
On the contrary, it is increased. In ad-
dition to the supplying of those to
whom we are already pledged, we now
have the splendid opportunity and OBJ
legation of meeting the needs of those
millions of people in the hitherto occu-
T. pied territories who are facing actual
| starvation. The people of Belgium,
northern France, Serbia, Rumania,
Montenegro, Poland, Russia and Ar
lmenia rely upon America for immedi-
ate aid. We must also participate in
the preservation of the newly liberat-
/ ed nations in Austria, nor can we ig-
more the effect on the future world de-
lvelopments of a famine condition
among those other people whom we
have recently released from our enc
mics. All these considerations mean
that upwards of 200 million people,
| in addition to those we are already
pledged to serve, are now looking to
us in their misery and famine. Our
appeal today is therefore larger than
the former appeal to the "war con-
science" of our people. The new ap-
lpeal is to "world conscience" which
must be the guiding inspiration of our
future program.
| The president of the United States
has asked me to take charge for this
government of this work; to perfect
and enlarge the arrangements for
food stuffs to the populations of Bel
gium and France now being released
and to organize and determine the
ineed of provision to the liberated peo-
iples of Southern Europe, to prevent
such debacle as has taken place in
Russia.
The determining factor for the sue
cess of such an enlarged appeal will
Ibe the vivid Consciousness in every
individual in each community of obi.
gatfoif ana OPPORTUNITY Is ira
common recognition of obligation
that we now wish to create. Such ar
intelligent "world conscience" in the
American people must be the main de.
!pendence of the stricken countries of
the world until normal conditions are
once more restored.
America by her participation in the
war has accomplished her objectives
of self-defense and of vindicating the
efficiency of government in which
the people and the people only, are
sovereign. She has established the
foundations. of government by the
people throughout the enemy coun-
tries, and this is the real bulwark of
world peace. We have yet to build
on these foundations. No government
nor nation can stand if it's people are
starving. We must do our part if the
world be not consumed in a flame of
anarchy.
The American people, in this most
critical period of our history, have
the opportunity to demonstrate not
only their ability to assist in estab-
fishing peace on earth, but also their
conservation, by self-denial, to the
cause of scffering humanity.

COFFINAS SAYS LIFE Is CON
TINUAL ROUND OF
PLEASURE

Louis Ccfiinas, who left with the
last draft contingent FOR Camp
Lewis, returned here yesterday after
having teen rejected at the camp.
Coffinas said he stayed at the camp
six days and that they were among
the happiest days of his life, as he
said cantonment life was a contin-
ual round of pleasure.
He said he had beer occupied con-
tinually in drill and playing games,
that the officers were all good fell

arranged that recruits repidly de-
veloped into trained soldiers in a
system so perfect that the men could
do nothing but like the work. He
tried to induce the authorizes to
permit him to remain, but they re-
fused.
He said the big cantonment is a
great place, that the barracks are
large and comfortable and that the
country is a beautiful one. Every
thing that could be desired by the
me is sold at c%anteens at cost by
the government and the little lux

experience of Coffinas that Uncle

heaven at American Lake and COT
finas' only regret is that he could
not stay there.

BIRTH RATE IS
:. NOW ALARMING
TO NATIONS THROUGH
WAR

LONDON, July 15.-The var has
caused the belligerent countries of
Europe the loss of not less than 49,
500 600 potential lives because of
the decrease in the number of
births resulting from the war, says
Sir. Bernard Mallet, registrar gen
eral of Great Britain. This coun-
try, he asserts, has lost in these po-
tential lives, 100000 children. He
believes hat other belligerent coun-
tries have suffered in this respect
more than has Great Britain.
Sir Bernard estimated that every
day of the war means a loss of
1000 potential lives of children to
the United Kingdom, France, Italy
and the central powers. Dealing
with the decline in the birth rate
mere he said the births registered in
England and Wales in 1913 number
ed 8S1,8OO. In 1915 they fell to
S14,614, in 1916 there was a fur
Their fall to 7S0,520, and in 1917

WOMAN ENTERS
LOCAL CAMPAIGN
MRS. ROSE MALONE ANNOUNCES
CANDIDACY FOR COUNTY
OFFICE

Something out of the ordinary in
politics happened in Goldfield to-
day when Mrs. Rose Malone stepped
into the clerks office and filed her
nomination papers as a candidate
for the office of auditor and re-
corder, the office now held by Clyde
Johnson. Mrs. Malone is stenogra-
pher for the district court and has
had a wide general experience in
clerical work. She has been employ
ed at various times as an assistant
in about every county office, and
was a deputy under George Brodi-
gan, now secretary of state, when
Brodigan was holding the office in
this county that Mrs. Malone now
seeks.
There are a number of instances
throughout the state in which wo-
men have announced themselves as
candidates for county office, and in
California they are already installed
in about every court house in the
state as a result of previous cleo
lions. This year the number of
women candidates has largely in
creased, presumably by reason of
the war.
Mrs. Malone is the second wo-
man to announce her aspirations
for office in Esmeralda county. The
first was Mrs. Louella Lyons, who
came within two votes in the nven
ton two years 6 of beating Clyde
Johnson for the nomination.
Mrs. Malone has resided in Gold
field since the most active days of
the camp. She has lived with her
mother and little daughter and has
been the chief if not the sole sup
port of her family. This, however,
is her first adventure in politics and
she doesn't profess to know much
about the game. When asked about
her plan of campaign she modestly
admitted she hadn't any. And then
she added, quietly, but with the
courage of confidence, 81 believe |
will know better how to u the
office than to u for it,"
