COUNTY FOOD ADMINS.
SEEKS COOPERATION
OF Citizens In Breckenridge
County. Does Not Want Any
SIackers In the Ranks.

To the Citizens OF Breckenridge County:
There is not a man, woman, boy or
girl IN this county but what knows that
we are now in the midst Ct the great
est ard most cruel war that was ever
waged toy mankind. We Americans
have been drawn into same by the
ruthessness Of our enemies, and we
have ayowed 70 remain ia same until
peace is secured for all mankind. 1t is
realiz by every true thinking Amer
lean, one that not only lives for the
things of this day, out who looks into
the future welfare Of the coming gen.
erations, that if this war is not won by
we Allies, that it will be woe unto the
American citizenship of a very few
years hence Think OF the sacrifices
sustained by our forefathers in the
days of the Revolution, giving their
lives for the freedom Of the genera
lions of American citizens that have
come and passed away since that good
day until the present time Now we
are asked to make similar sacrifices
for the freedom of the world. Our
boys have gone to the front of the bat
tie fields of France and some have al.
ready given the greatest sacrifices
that can be asked of man, and that is
his life, others are on their way to the
trenches while others are being train
ed in the various camps of this and
other countries. The food Admins
tration is asking those that remain at
home to make sacrifices, such as will
insure plenty OF Foodstuffs for our own
boys, and the boys of our Allies.
If we hoard or waste food we are de-
priving our soldiers of the things that
are most needed by them in the days
when they are called upon to make the
test. No soldier can stand the hard
ships unless he mas the proper food.
Multiply the savings Of one individual
by 10, 600, 900 and you will soon realize
what it means to this patton to save.
The man, woman, boy or girl who fails
to do his part in this war, war whrre
everyone has a part to perform, is a
traitor IN the truest sense. At the close
of this war when a lasting peace has
come for all, let it be said with pride
that there was not Stacker found
in the ranks of Breckenridge County.
The more we do and tn, quicker we
do it the sooner will be the end of this
mighty conflict.
Iappeal to you for cooperation in
this all important task of Food Con-
servation. Will you be a true soldier
or "Slacker2"
Your very truly,

Administr tor for Breckenridge County.
