fine ADDRESS Of
MRS. c. RUCkER ADAMS
ON CONSERVATION

Mrs. G. Rucker Adams is doing
some very effective work for the Lib
erty Loan, and at Barlow on Thurs.
day made a splendid address at the
meeting called for the purpose of dis
cussing the flour situation, which we
are glad to reproduce for the infor-
nation it contains which will be Of
much interest to Telegram readers.
Her address follows:
1t was my pleasure April S-14 to
be called into attendance on the Ma
tional Conference of American Lee
turers and through the courtesy Of
the Food Commission into special
conference with Mr.. Hoover and his
splendid co-laborers through the
Chautauqua work which most Of you
know is the business in which Mr..
Adams and I are engaged in this part
Of Florida in the winter and through
the north for the spring and summer.
We're to bring to you the very
interesting pictures Of the conference
It would take too much time, but in
a few minutes l would like to throw
on the screen of your minds some
pictures Of especial interest.
Would | could tell you the pathetic
story of Serbia as told by their min
lister to this country as the opening
of the story Of the war, and follow
this with the sad story of Belgium
as told by their minister, | would
like to give you the thrilling words
of the High Commissioner of the
French Republic and the wonderful,
soul-stirring address of the Earl OF
Reading, ambassador from Great
Britain, but all these would only i'm
press more heavily on your heart the
dependence these allied countries are
placing in these United States of
America and our aid to them.
That we are thus allied was for

from Canada. Picture on the screen
OF your mind woman, regal in ap-
pearance, aged but erect; hair white,
but as glory around aHface made
beautiful through suffering; clad in
the solid black of grief relieved only
by the white ties Of her bonnet and
the Red Cross pin upon her breast
Standing thus before that body of lee
turers she held aloft yellow sheet
o. a telegram and said, "This Is the
message which brought me to your
States. When was first asked to
