city is almost on the verge Of a

In the published accounts of the
draft classifications from this coun
ty it is made to appear that Alexis
S Hays of this city claimed exemp-
ton. Mr.. Hays authorizes US to say
that such was not the case. The
explanation is that in filling out his

state the fact that he held the Office
of city collector of Monroe City
This passed on to the district board
and automatically classed where
it belonged. Persons not familiar
with the facts 10 the case are liable
to get a wrong conception of the
matter by reading the reports, but
Mr.. Hays had no intention of claim
ing exemptions for any cause and
we hope the public will so under
stand it.

AmeriCaniSnl.

Whereas, the conduct of the war
now being prosecuted by the United
States of America and her associates
against the autocratic power of the
German driven central empires, re-
quires for its successful conclusion
the maximum concertedness OF
military effort, backed by the unit
ed energies and the oneness of pur-
pose and thought of those at home.
Peace will be attained with the
minimum of blood and treasure, or
the agony of war prolonged, as the
nation chooses to follow a fixed
course in which every individual
joins in the broad policies laid down,
or swerves from this course.
Therefore, be it resolved: 1, We.
the members of the Missouri War
Conference, comprising represen-
tatives of county and township
councils of defense. Four-Minute-
Men and other war working or
ganizations, assembled in Columbia.
January 16 and II, 1918, commit
ourselves as follows:
l. We renew our confidence i'm
those charged with the duty. both
administrative and executive, of
mObilizing the civilian forces and
natural resources of the nation for
war; we realize the enormous edu-
cational tasks, those accomplished
and those that lie ahead, and we
consecrate ourselves anew to our
share of the work.
2. We unreservedly express our
faith in the wisdom of every cali
for service, every duty laid down,
every sacrifice requested, however
large or small, by the government
at Washington, expressed, in turn,
through the Missouri Council of De-
Tense and other state agencies. for
we see in these unremitting efforts
the sustaining of the best American
ideals of liberty. We inestimably
prefer food conservation to ration
ing, free labor to conscription..
voluntary financing to confiscation.
8. We view as the greatest
tragedy which might befall the ma
ton the acceptance of an incon-
elusive and premature peace. We
firmly believe the complete destruc-
ton of the German military autoc-
racy can never be accomplished
without political concord at home-
and point to the tragic lesson in
Russia, Greece, Italy and even
France. AS the events leading up
to and following our OWN entrance
in the war disclosed the vital de-
mand for craftsmanship of the
highest order. so now, in looking to
the future, we deem it imperative
to measure every public servant
and every political candidate by the
standards of unquestioned patriot
ism and loyalty to the nation.

MeatIeSS Meals.

Here are seven suggestions of the
Missouri Division of the United
States Food Administration for
preparing wheatless and meatless
meals:
Beans and meat both furnish
body building material. Yet some
housewives serve baked beans as a
vegetable with meat and serve just
as much meat as ever.
Corn syrup is a perfectly whole
some food. 1t contains glucose. and
glucose is a Wholesome food. 1t can
well De used instead of so much
cane or beet sugar.
Oatmeal is richer" than wheat
-four. 1t contains about 7 per cent
fat, while white -four has from / to
8 per cent.
Graham crackers are made of
wheat flour, but outmeal crackers
have very similar taste and they
save the wheat.
Rye approaches wheat in bread
making qualities more nearly than
does any other grain.
Buckwheat is not wheat, but an
entirely different grain.
Nuts can be used in place Of
meat. They contain much fat and
body building material, and Otter
much starchy material TOO.
