CONSERVATION
WEEK POST
PONED To DEC. |
Influenza Epidemic Has Caused the
Food Administration to Change
the Dates Of This Impor-
tant Meeting.

Louisville, October 1S-Because of
the unsettled condition of the country
due to the nationwide influenza cpl
derlic, the Food Administration has
postponed Conservation Week" from
October 27th-November 2nd to Deem
Der 1st-7th. Following receipt of this
decision from Herbert Hoover, FEEDER
al Food Administrators Fred NJ. Sacket
announced that the intervening period
of Ave weeks would be utilized to the
fullest extent in perfecting an organ
ization and doing all such other prep
are tory work as the situation per-
nit
lIr. Sacket at the same time made
the statement that the military stu
alton, encouraging as it is, formed no
adequate reason for the relaxation of
conservation efforts, and said the
Food Administration would expect the
ow men of Kentucky to do during the
nett twelve months even greater work
thu they have done heretofore.
Recent European developments
make a greater saving of food nee
essary," Mr.. Sackett said. 1.-THE eva
cuation of Allied territory imposes up
on the American people the RESPONSE
bility for feeding an additional civil
ian population. This is task which
will be welcome to the people of this
country, but it is task, nevertheless,
and task equally as important as the
shipping of men and munitions to Eu-
rore."
L had been intended that in every
chr rch in the United States and in
every lodge room would he read a
mes sage from United States Food Ad-
ministration Hoover next Sunday, the
beginning of Conservation Week Fred
Hardwick, chairman of the Fraternal
and Religious Division for Kentucky,
has notified the ministers and lodge
heads that this conservation Sunday
has been postponed until December
list. The Four Minute Men of the ma
ton, who had planned to devote an en-
tire week to the discussion of the food
situation, likewise will defer their ac-
tivities until the new week of the
campaign in December.
Mrs. Morris Clifford. chairman of the
Kentucky Conservation Division, and
Miss Alexina Booth of the Division of
College Women, have completed an
organization of women whereby the
new food card would have been taken
into every home in Kentucky by
campaign worker who would have a

to do this work, numbering several

DEMOCRATS MAKE CHOICE

/ According to Joseph Smasal who at
tended the Democratic State Confer
ence at St. Paul last Wednesday, the
same was harmonious, enthusiastic and
we'll attended, there being 1900 to 1900
delegates present.
The only rift in the harmony came
about when Thomas J. Meighen of
Preston was slated for the Office OF state
treasurer. He had previously received
the endorsement of the Non-Partisan
League and the explanations given by
Mr.. Meighen with reference to his
connection with the Non-Partisan League
did rot satisfy the delegates and his
name was withdrawn.
Resolutions denouncing sedition and
disloyalty and branding the leader of
the Non-Partisan League as an arch
traitor were adopted. Contrary to all
expectations, no resolutions were adopted
endorsing Knute Nelson for the senior
senatorship. 1t was claimed that this
lack was due to John Lind who is opposed
to the senior senator and it has Been
intimated by some that it would not
be very surprising at all if Lind him
self should appear as candidate for the
senatorial toga.
Resolutions were adopted urging the
denomination and reelection of Chief
Justice Brown and Justices Hallsm and
Holt Of the Supreme Bench.
The following ticket was agreed
upon: Gov. Fred E. Wheaton, Min
neapolis; Lieut.. Gov, Charles Helwig,
Fulda; Sec'y. Of State, Edward Indrehus,
Foley; Auditor, L. w. Huntley, Grand
Rapids; Treas, D. D. Devine, Albert
Lea; Atty. Gen., B. B. Gislason, Min
neota: Railroad and Warehouse Com
missioner, E. G. Hall, Minneapolis,
and Clerk Supreme Court, Charles
Lethert, St. Paul. The meeting was
preceded by parade at 11:45 and the
session lasted until 7 o'clock in the eve
ming.
Brown County was represented by
the following delegates: New ulm,
Jos. smasal and Theo. Manderfeld;
Sleepy Eye, VIM. Brust and Frank
Palmer; Hanska, Neis Erickson.

The Great Adventure

Who has heard of the "Great Adj
venture? What is this movement?
The chances are that but very few have
heard that there is such movement
on foot which if carried to success will
mean better conditions for the common
people.
It is now over two years since small
group of earnest workers pushed the
movement in the state of California,
and the voters of that state were given
an opportunity to vote on constitu-
tional amendment which if it had been
adopted would have made the single
tax idea reality and thereby eliminated
tie land speculator and the land shark.
To tie surprise Of almost everybody
they mustered 100000 votes. The same
question comes up again in the fall
election this year. We all know that
it takes money to wage campaign and
it is calculated that at least 100000 will
have to be raised outside of the state
of California to push the campaign
with vigor, and an urgent call is being
sent out to all those who favor the
taxation of land and the non-taxation
of the improvements Zone of the cardinal
principles of the Non-Partisan League).
In speaking about the work being
done by the GREAT ADVENTURE
group, Gerrit ]. Johnson, a successful
business man of Grand Rapids, Michigan
who is taking keen interest in this
movement writes as follows:
II sometimes wonder how much of
TIE outside single tax world knows of
the privation, or let me call it starva-
ton, endured by this little group called
''Tke Great Adventure" for the cause
of Single Tax.
did you ever see a group Of politi-
clans spend all the money that comes
in for propaganda and Themselves 60
without the necessities of life, having
deliberately cut themselves off from
sources Of personal income to which their
training and capabilities give them I'M
stinted access?
"This is not politics with these men and
women = it is a. religion. Can you
imagine men with talents like Luke
North and Herman Kuehn living in the
