COUNTY FOOD CLUB
HEAD ISSUES APPEAL
Lake County Must Do it's
Share in Relieving the
Worlds Hunger.

CROWN POINT, Nov. 1s.-Mrs. No
BILE .. Soper, president OF the L. S.
Foods Clubs Of Lake county. has is
sued the following stirring appeal In
behalf of food conservation.
France is depleted and unable to
produce anything like normal food
supply for at least a year. Belgium
has been destroyed and Will have to
be re-established. Russia Is IN state
OF chaos. Millions of our former enc
mics arc underfed and clamoring for
nourishment- Surely there never was
time when we needed to conserve
@s we do now. Out OF this deplorable
aondition there are one hundred and
twenty million people looking to the
United States for food. 1t is the Unit
ed States that stands supreme and
vigorous IN the ability to produce and
feed the world
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1918-11-14

There has never been a time when
food conservation needed to be empha-
sized more clearly than now. We have
been taught to think of food as a
weapon Of war. Now we must consid-
er il as a means Of preserving peace
a means OF re-establishing the war
torn nations OF Europe.
The problems OF peace and read
justment are Gs serious as are the
problems Of war. Every woman
help Is needed to carry on and solve
these problems. Every woman should
do her utmost Every woman should
join a L s. Food Club and attend the
meetings.
The Food Clubs in Lake county will
hold their regular monthly meeting
on November Is. and the third Friday
in each month is TO be recognized as
Food Club day in Lake county.
