Wnat Does It Mean?
. What does all this talk' of food
conservation mean? To a Fulton
county family with a good gar
den or farm, and with access to
the abundance of food raised in
the County, the necessity for
economy is not . perceptible.
Why? Beeause'we havso long
accustomed ourselves to plenty
and to' let balance go to waste
that it seems strange that a food
scare should confront others.
It is this going to waste that
is attracting the attention of
those whose duty it will be to
feed our armies and those of our
allies for maybe several years.
In older countries fruit and veg
etables are not permitted to rot
on the ground because of no sale
for them. America has not yet
reached the state of congested
foreign countries when waste
had to be stopped hundreds of
years ago. But we are entering
that state and new demands
have hastened the necessity for
the saving of all food if two
third 3 of our population are to
be fed at reasonable cost Amer
ica will have to feed half the
world next year and the next
No farmer should buy a single
can of fruit or vegetable until the
war is over. He should have his
own home product stored for use
so that factory goods will be
spared for those less fortunate.
The lady who gave the canning
demonstration in Fulton county
last week did not have so much
in mind the teaching of methods
of food preservation, but her er
rand was largely to awaken in
our peop'le a sense of patriot duty
to stop buying factory goods and
to encourage home canning and
preserving.
Why are Americans asked to
reduce on the use of wheat flour
and to use more corn? It is be
cause our foreign allies do not
know the use of corn on the ta
ble in the form of puddings,
bread, muffins, &c. They must
have wheat and as our armies
will soon be fighting side by side
with the French and English,
their bread must be of wheat
too.

We are ready to fit you up
with a fall Hat or Velour. We
have a full line of shapes and
colors to choose from. The ma

' Wouldn't Exchange Places.
The salary of the president of
the United States is $205 a day
with an allowance of $25,000 a
year for traveling expenses.
The vice president and cabinet
officers get $250 a week. It seems
to an editor, like good money;
but we suspect if the weight of
responsibility carried continually
by any one of them were placed
upon our shoulders for about
half an hour, we should forever
discard the idea of wishing to
exchange places.

Boys of Pennsylvania! come away
fromthff ball fields, turn from vacation
frolics, put aside the pleasant lures of
boyhood and give
heed to serious do
ings. Your country
has a grim burlne's
In hand and relies
largoly upon you to
put it through.
You have heard
the song of the
bugles and. the rattle of the drums;
you have seen the dust-stained troops
la highways and byways; you have
cheered with the shouting bystanders
and through these things y,u person
ally have come to know that the na
tion is at war.
The stirring military srene no doubt
have Impressed you with the greatness
of your country's martial might. They
have given you a comforting sense of
security through visible assurance fi'
thousands upon thousands of steel
muscled, splendidly equipped Hunting
men stand as living barriers between
you and your country's foe.
And you, perhaps, have turned back
to your sports and games In the con
fident belief that these chosen leg'ons
of a free nation have but to moot the
enemy to sweep him from the field.
But In that belief there Is danger.
It Is a belief which, If permitted to
spread unchecked, would place the ar
mies of America In deadly peril.
All of these Inspiring troop move
menU you have witnessed relate onlv
to one phase of war artlvlty the mill
tary slds.
There Is another phase of war and
It Is th more Important one because
properly directed It backs up the sol
dier. In the field with the entire re
sources of his country.
Valor Not Enough.
It fs this phase of war activity that
must give the American fighting men
more and better cannon than the ene
my possesses; more ammunition, more
food and more, of everything that Is
vital to the prosecution of war. For
If the nation pormlts Its armies to
be overmatched in these things their
valor will count for nothing. Mere
bravery will not avert defeat and de
feat would mean a reign of terrorism
In this free land too shocking to be
pictured even In a part of lta bar
barlty. That Is why no one not even boys
should be allowed to think that war
Is only the soldier's business. This
war Is the business of every man,
every woman, ' -ery boy and every girl
In America who, by their work, can
be of use to American troops.
Primarily, war, because It Is de
structive, taxes to the utmost the pro
ductive energy f the nation engaged.
At the same time It weakens the pro
ductive forces by taking all of the
able-bodied "men from farms. . work
shops and business to do the fighting.
One million American soldiers, the
pick of the c untry's manhood recruit
ed from the various Industries, will
soon be at grips with the enemy, and
workers must be found to fill their
places. Adilonal workers must be
located t" produce the excess quanti
ties of supplies that these one million
soldiers will require, and the supplies
our European allies need.
Where are these workers to bo
obtained? Boys, the answer rests
with you. Perhaps upon witnessing
parades of fighting squadrons you
have felt regret that you. too, could
not have a place In the heroic flies.
But there Is no need to harbor regret.
You and every other boy between the
ages of lfi snd 21 years may help your
country fight and win the war. You
may not be able to shoulder a rifle
or man a cm, but by working to sup
ply everything needful to the men who
do these things you . will be making
your country's guns effective.
President Wilson's Call.
The war has made a place for you.
That place Is In the ranks of the Penn
sylvania Division of the United States
Boys' Working Reserve, an organiza
tion created" by the United States gov
ernment to furnish emergency workers
so that there will be no shortage of
the labor needed to keep, the American
soldier In victorious fighting trim.
So important Is the Reserve consid
ered by the government that President
Wilson has Issued a message urging
boys of Pennsylvania to enroll. Here
Is the President's message to you:
"Let me express the hope that the
young men 'of Pennsylvania not now
permanently employed may eagerly en
ter the BoyB' Working Reserve to fit
First Wool Figures.
For the first time in this or any
other country a Burv'ey has been
made of the wool stocks on hand,
and figures representing the
holdings June 30, .1917, were
published by the Bureau of
Markets of the United States
Department of Agriculture on
August 1.

selves worthy of patriotic fathers who
fought for democracy In the past, sus
tain their patriotic brothers who are
lighting for It today, and command the
affectionate pride of the brave mothers
who are silently bearing the burdens
at home.
Under the direction of the Pennsyl
vania committee of Public Safety the
Resorve Is now recruiting an Industrhl
army of 25.000 boys. They will be
guided In their activities by John C.
Frnzee, Federal Director for this Ste,
and a corps of district superintend
ents. The alms of the Be?e-ve are: First,
the organization, and. second, the
preparation of boys for emTency
service In all lines of work. T'- mot
to of the boys who enroll Is . "I will
he ready." The Reserve will find use

will Instruct them In the work.
Service Badge Given.
You may enroll by obtaining the con
sent of your parents or guardians,
whether you are now employcl or not.
Hoys who are employed join wl:h the
Idea of becoming more uje'ul to their
country by learning to p-pluc- more
t their present work. They will not
be urged to change thel emMryment,
hut only to becomo more proficient at
it.
Boys who are not now at work, but
who attend school, may enroll an l will
be Instructed In some line of Industry
fitted to their abilities. Working hours
will be arranged so that their educa
tion will not bo Intorferred wlli. All
boys enrolling will receive at once the
handsome button of the Pennsylvania
Division. By loyal service they may
enrn the bronze badge of the Reserve
which Is a reproduction of the seal of
the United States suitably Inscribed
and numbered. Appropriate wages will
bo paid while boys are at work.
Working conditions will be carefully
supervised so that members of the
Reserve .shall be protected against all
forms of physical and moral Injury.
There Is nothing of a military charac
ter about the Reserve, Its training or

so desire.
