SHOW BIG SAVING
FOODSTUFFS' HERE
BY CONSERVATION

Rock Island restaurant and cafe
men have received from the office OF
State Food Administrator Wheeler
cards and blanks to be filled out with
regards to savings effected by the
wheatless day, meatless day and 9TH
er conservation orders.
The saving in many instances has
been remarkable. For instance, Z. v
Osgood, manager of McCabe's tea
room, reported that during the month
of January he saved 44S pounds OF
beef, 254 pounds of pork, lOS pounds
of other meats, 1856 pounds OF sugar
and 292 pounds of wheat flour. HIS
figures were gained by comparing the
consumption last month with that OF
some previous month when the regu-
lations were not in effect.
! If this average is maintained by all
,, the restaurants and cafes in the city
| the saving of foodstuffs in Rock Is
| land alone would mount into enorm-
Gus figures in a month.

MUCH PUBLICITY
IS BEING SPREAD
Patriots Fund Campaign Plan Is Ex
planned In Detail To Local
Organizations.
WILL ERECT HUGE BILLBOARD
Sign Will Give Results Of One Cam
paign Daily in Downtown Sec
ton Of CITY.

The dating committee of the Patri-
OTIS fund spent an extremely busy day
yesterday. The plan was outlined in
detail before the Musical club, the Par
ent-Teacters' association, at the
Longfellow and Center Station
schools. at the Lincoln school enter
tainment at the high school and at the
high school basketball game at the

ing committee, sent out letter to all
ministers asking that they make ref
erence in their sermons tomorrow and
Patriots fund being made tremend-
Gus success.
The following statement was made
by the committee:
"As an example of what can be &C
complished by organized effort along
; these lines may be cited the case of
/ Columbus, Ohio. Columbus is a city
about six times as large as Rock Is
land and in five days raised total war
chest fund of over $3,50O.0O0. Accord
i ing to these figures on the same basis,
Rock Island should real. raise $780,
! 900, instead of the modest sum of
$1S5,000. which are the figures set by
the citizens committee to take care OF
al of the local and war activities for
the coming year.. The fund in Column
| bus was raised in less than five days
and the campaign in this city will
cover similar period.
''The war chest plan is being car
ried out in quite number of cities in
this country as the only logical plan
for taking care of the demands made
upon each community in this country
