 The Food Conservation campaign Tn the south end of the county was a most profitable one. The wealth CT was all that could be asked and above all we had speakers who came with messages and the abil- lty to deliver them. The meeting of the morning was at Ozark. where an enthusiastic crowd, wholly in sym pathy with the movement. heard the splendid address of Prof. c. K. Wllkerson of Mena, followed by Dr. II. R. Getz; The same program was mad at Baker school at D. m. and while the audience was sfnaii it certainly was attentive. The cli- max of the day came at the last meeting. held at the Union church at 8 ?. m A short song service by. the Union choir opened the pro- gram. The program of the morning was repeated, with the addition of a solo by. Mrs. Robinson. Prof. T. J.. Wilbanks served as chairman at ali three meetings. It may be said to the credit of these speakers that there were several persons who att tended all three meetings Both gntlemen were thoroly enthused with their subjects and all three audiences very soon caught the spirit of the meetings. Good will result from this campaign at Gran his.
