Dermott's Reputation at Stake

For the first time in its history of
War Work, Dermott is far below its
allotted quota. With total of $lO4.-
676 to be pledged in War Savings
Stamps, only $4,000 worth have as
yet been subscribed less than one
third of the total. In an effort to
overcome this deficit and to save our
good name by again going over the
top, the school directors, who have
been drafted by the government for
this wbrk, have decided to put on a big
Fourth of July drive. That drive is on
TODAY. A systematic house to house.
ITO store, person to person canvass
will be made and determined effort
put forth to register every family in
the e.strict. So be ready when the
5Oiicisor calls today to pledge yourself
and your family to save to the limit and
buy War Savings Stamps during the
remainder of the year.
These War Savings Stamps are an
investment, not a gift. They do not
have to be bought now. You are mere
ly asked to pledge yourself to buy
them some time between now and jan
uary lst, 1919. Furthermore. the gov

ernment has issued instructions that
every family is REQUIRED to register
either the amount of stamps that you
will buy, or the fact that you will not
buy, and why.
The school directors are instructed
to report those who DO not register
and they will be listed as sackers. and
it is the intention of this paper to pub
lish the list of slackers in the Dermott
district.
Ii any of those who have already reg
istered can possibly increase the
amount of their pledges. they should
by all means do 80. for it will require
the limit from everyone of us if Der
mott is to go lover the top" in this
campaign.
Reports from other districts in the
county indicate that the whole county
is way below its quota. As far as re-
ported. the West Dermott Annex alone
has so far oversubscribed. Their quota
was $1,000 and they have already
pledged $2725 and are still going

are not willing to go down in defeat in
this campaign. But the battle may

ONLY WAR PREVENTED
U. s. FROM STARVING
b. +. Allen, Hoover Assistant, De-
clares Grain Was Being Drained
From Country

The one thing that prevented the star
walton of the American people from lack
of grain was the entrance Of the United
States into tho war; said Benjamin +,
Allen. Of Washington, an assistant to
Herbert Hoover. food administrator,
today, while visiting this city.
Previous to our entrance into the war,
said Mr.. Allen. the Allies had been
draining the United States of grain. The
situation had been intensified by the
embargo placed upon shipments OF grain
from the Argentine Republic. In conse-
quence, when the food administration
came into being on August 10. the
United States was actually "scraplng
the bottom OF its wheat bin" only
our entrance into the war enabled the
President to fix embargoes which
checked the tremendous outgo.
The American public was unaware of
this scarcity. and according TO Mr. Al
len, the conservation measures which
have since been put into effect or which
may yet be instituted. have been or
will be necessary to overcome the i'll
effects of the drain which went on be-
fore the United States entered the war
Germany is better off today. with
respect to her supplies of cereals" said
Mr. Allen. than she was a year ago.
Not only are the wants of the people
Of Germany being supplied. but ship
ments of cereals have also been made
by Germany to Sweden and Norway"

The Schwerdts. father and son. posed
