 ALLIES MUST EAT

Industry is falling into two classes essentials and less essentials. And by essentials we mean essential to the prosecution of the war.
 In foods there are also the vitally essential foods and the less essen tial. Staples-meat, wheat sugar and fats-are essential Fresh vege- tables, perishables of many kinds, bulky, unshippable foods, are-in a military sense-the less essential.
 |, The second year of our participa- tion in the war brings us broader plan for food conservation. No so much emphasis on this particular item and that, but steady pressure in all directions. The most careful and thrifty conservation, the elimina-

 tion of every type of waste, these are our principles which must be observed, our standard which we must measure up to.
 We cannot ship seventeen million tons of food out of the country and not continue to conserve food. We cannot increase our last years food exports to the allies by fifty per cent and not continue to cut down our own consumption.
 The need is very great, our obliga- tion plain. To supply the essential foods to the 120 million people in Europe now arraigned against Ger many is our present task. This is duty of necessity, humanity and honor"
 We will fulfil it.

A LABOR DAY LESSON

! guess you've often read that little piece
VI Hercules, the heavyweight of Greece,
And how he beat Antaeus in fight.
Old Here could put Antaeus down ali right,
But Anty. bounced back stronger than before
Hows this?" said Hercules. "Pm getting sore
For every time this fellow hits the land
He seems to gather new supplies of sand"
So Hercules held his victim in the air
Above his Mother Earth, and choked him there
Well, Labor is Antaeus. Let him stand,
Or even fall in contact with the land
And who can beat him? Send him to the soil
And Labor brings back corn and wine and oil
Given two hands to dig mouth to feed,
And Mother Earth will satisfy his need
But put him "in the air" and Hercules ...r
Can throttle him by fast slow degrees.
And who is Hercules? Well, it's my dope, a
It's not the who fills your envelope,
Nor yet fellow with cross-barred S
Called Kapita. Take another guess
And say it's You-and-I and all of us who stand,
Watching each other tie up idle land,
Each trying to stick until the heavy onus
Of some ones need will make him pay our bonus
And all the bonus paid on all the soil
Comes from the blood and bones of those who toll
So. as celebrate Labor Day,

Isn't it time, Antaeus, that you planned
To get your feet back upon the landl

PARTISANSHIP AMONG
RAILMEN FORBIDDEN
McAdoo Issues Threat Against En-
ployes Entering Politics.

Railroad administration is to be
taken entirely out Of politics, ac-
cording to a statement to railway
employees yesterday by w. C. Nc
Adoo. director general of railroads.
This statement is especially
needed now because of the ap-
preaching Federal and State cleo
tions says the announcement
1T was a matter of common re-
port" says the message, that
railroads under private control
were frequently used for partisan
political purposes; that railroad
corporations were frequently ad-
juncts of political machines and
that even sovereign States had
been at times dominated by them.
'Sca ndals resulted from such
practices. the public interest was
prejudiced and hostility to railroad
managements was engendered"
This is to be changed under gov
eminent control, according to Mr..
McAdoo. Certain prohibitions for
the railroad employees, which de-
mand the curtailment of all politi-
cal activity or connection. are set
forth in the statement.
