MIN an encouraging gesture that he

OF a more or less satisfactory ex-

But as he was turning away, he
looked back with the quiet remark:
You have been in constant attendance
on this lady for some time and must
have seen many of her friends, as
well as taken charge of her mail and
of any messages which may have
been left for her. Has there been
anything in this experience to settle
the doubt as to whether her talk of

husband stricken simultaneously with
the poor child lying at that very mo-
ment dead at her feet simply deli

In other words, do you believe her

He seemed about to ask another
question, but refrained. and allowed
her to depart after some final tnjunc-
of certain emergencies. Then he had
a talk with the proprietor, which add

knowledge: and these duties OFF his

with the freshness Of renewed life
and the joyous aspect of+exutant ma

sion upon them both-a hesitation not
common to either. and. to all appear
ance. without cause.
To end what he probably considered
weakness, Sweetwater approached
the door staring somewhat blankiy
from the nat front of the primitive
old house. whose privacy they were
about to invade. and raped on It's

and then with quick insistence.

painfully advanced. The storm Of the

to be here; but I'm afraid she isn't.

1t was an inconvenient time for

matter being SO Important. she was
prevailed upon to give him few mo-

where he had seated himself. The re-
suit was meager--that' is. from her

When such q large organization as
that OF the T. S Food Clubs is under
taken many questions arise. The
first one 70 present itself in this case
is Why form another organization
when there are so many already? The
answer is easy. There Is no other or
ganization that can do the work
Many other organizations were will
ing to help Many organizations have
given great assistance. The T. 8
Food Administration appreciates all
that has been done but there we're
too many gaps left which could not
be ignored
By working through existing or
CARNATIONS some homes would be
reached through half a dozen different
sources The great majority Of
homes, however. were not reached at
all. II was necessary that these
homes be reached 10 keep them n
touch with the needs OF the hour
Hence the Food Clubs.
There is another reason why exist
ing organizations could not satisfy
all requirements. A literary society.
for example. would meet 10 discuss
food problems. The same program
would be given perhaps as that car
ried out by Food Club. The liter
airy society would still think OF itself
as a literary society doing work diff.
ferent from its usual line. The Food
Club on the other hand realizes that
II is doing its own work When four
thousand L. s. Food Clubs are, at
work. conscious that they are doing
the work for which they were created
there will be greater interest and
greater results than would otherwise
be possible.
A special organization is necessary
to fight our food battles at home Just
az surely as 9 special organization
was needed to fight the battles in
