 'Last year our boys and girls or ganized corn clubs, calf clubs, pig clubs and canning clubs. This year every boy and girl should work to in crease the food supply of the country. Hoover is trying to teach 20,00O,- 900 American families a harmonious lesson in food conservation. He is telling us to send the things we do not need to the allies.
 "I think the time has come when the president and congress should see that not single ton of grain or coal should be sued by the brewcries.
 "I spoke in two towns in Illinois last winter, when the breweries were kept running and the schools were forced to close for the lack of fuel.
 Beer kindergartens develop into al coholic universities. They should be allowed to die together and should be buried in the same grave.

 for the government those who escape with the payment of money only should be lad to give because no tax on income or property can possibly be as heavy as tax on life.

 "A Liberty bond, even at per cent, considering the security back of it and the interest is the best invest ment in the world. A 41-2 per cent bond will be little better still and the War Savings certificate has two advantages over the Liberty bond, but the War Savings certificate cannot be bought beyond the amount of $1,000 for each individual.
 "The two advantages are: First It can be collected on 10 days notice at postoffice; second, It is issued as low as $500, and therefore can be used by children to start savings accounts.
 ''The moral effect of the loan to the government increases with the num- Der of persons participating in the ideal conditions is reached when all men, WOIIlGu dIlu CllluISu JOlll lul nishing money to win the war.
 When Liberty bonds are not good, there is not a piece of property in the United States that is good. There is not a better investment in the world unless it is a War Savings certificate They may be converted into cash at any time with ten days notice.
 "One of the best things about the t1,o not that the more people can afford to buy them the more the kaiser is shown that we are in the war to win.
 Should only the rich men buy Lib erty bonds, the moral effect will not be so good"
 The Making of q Man."
 Mir. Bryans lecture, "The Making of a Man." lasted nearly two hours and it gripped the attention of the big audience from the very first utter ance of the last. He spoke in arther subdued tone, due to a throat affec- ton. but his uninterrupted flow Of words coupled with incomparable log ic. thrilled and convinced the hearers. The discourse was hinged on the idea that too much time is usually taken up in perfecting the things With which man deals, while too little at tention is given man himself. MT. Bryan sought to impress the all i'm portance of right living among men. pointing out the great possibilities ot a life rightly spent.
 In closing he paid beautiful and impressive plea to the Bible. holding it up as the standard for all men.
 Owing to the violent rains of the afternoon, the meeting took place at the First Baptist church. which was filled to overflowing. It is estimated that 1000 people heard the celebrated speaker.
