Hoover nearly one hundred thousand Camp Fire Girls all over the United States expect to begin Monday to distribute "household tags" to all housewives and to collect their pledges to take part In the national service of food conservation.

These "household tags," which are to be nuns in the windows, consist of the shield of the United States surrounded by heads of wheat. Dr. Luther H. Guliek. president of the Camp Fire Girls, has been preaching food conservation since shortly af-.

nf the war. He has "been working in close co-operation with the government departments, and his advice has been based on the official requirements. The girls have backed him up loyally, and Mr. Hoover's program was being carried out In thousands of homes even before it was officially promulgated. President Wilson, who is honorary president of the Camp Fire Girls, has found tims amidst his multitudinous war duties to write to them several --times approving their war program and accepting the honorary presidency.

It is safe to say that the Camp Fire Girls have learned more about food values and conservation In the last two months than any other organization and they are all agreed that "a clean plate is a patriotic plate" WOOD MAY BE A VISITOR TO MONTGOMERY (Continued from Page One.) son recently established la the North oea by the British omm.nt hu drawn protests from the Dutch gov ernment, wnicn maintains that these regulations abolish the safe shipping route across tne North gen thereby making impossible the passu af all shipping to and fom Holland around. me nortnern coast of England.

I The Tempts dwells upon the youth vigor and military aspect, of the Americans and the completeness of their iilipmont. The Journal Desbats.

in an editor-i ial, says: Slasnlficent Proof. "The grand democracy of the new world does nothing by halves. It en-jteretl this vast conflict in full consciousness of the ends to be attained and with full resolution to neglect nothing in attaining those, ends. Wliat vve witness today In the arrival of the Americans on French soil is magnificent proof of this fact. "Two months and a half after the Americans entered the war their hardy trooj.s arrive In solid lines upon the European front and it is not a modest guard as the most hopeful hardly dared to expect.

On the contrary the forces which have Just landed oil our shore surpass anything which could reasonably have been expected within so short a time. Scale of Abundance "When we recall the length of time it took England to move her forces to South, Africa and similarly the length of time ft took us to move qur troops to Saloniki, this remarkable accomplishment by the Americans is seen in it's full significance. The material they bring Is on the same abundant scale as their troops. "Those who have been doubtful whether the American concourse would come in time have failed to estimate at It's Just value the tremendous moral and material American power that German brutality has mobilized against itsolf And what we se today is only the commencement. Each day hence forth will Increase the weight of that formidable sword thrown into the bal ance by the sister republic of America.

Who can even In Germany be blind to the inevitable consequence we now are witnessing!"

SOLUTION OF POLISH Would Incorporate Monarchy Under the Sceptre of a Kaiser (Associated Press.) ZURICH, July 1.

Dispatches from Vienna quote the former Polish Mln- jiuijioiiy as Buying uurillg me course of the budget debate that the new kingdom of Poland must incorporate a monarchy under the sceptre of a Kaiser and form wltrl Galicla in an independent kingdom as in the case of Austria-Hungary. "We do not need an entente for our liberation," he said. "We are much freer than others outside the monarchy." Baron von Plener, the official reporter of the debate, said that this solution of the Polish question was the right one, adding: "As things stand today the English 'are actually Austria's chief foes. There is no other country where Austrian subjects after the war will be so mal treated and oppressed as in England. It is only due to special friendliness on our side that we make no reprisals.

The world will finally perceive that we desire peace, not from weakness but from an honorable peace policy. "Every Intelligent person knows Emperor Charles and Emperor William are more peace loving rulers than Poin-care, Lloyd-George and Wilson." Baron von Plener's reference to President Wilson was loudly applauded. Hs concluded: "This war, which now has become madness, must be continued because of some ambitious politicians in those countries. We too, must and shall continue the war.

Mr. Dorsey had taken quite an active and frequent part in politics In behalf of his friends but had never offered for public office. During his occupancy of the office of solicitor general lie prosecuted four of the most famous rriniinal cases In the history of the state. First was the Orace case, in whioli Mrs. Daisy Opfe Hrace was tried on tire charge of shooting her husband, Eugene Grace, who was paralyzed by the shot and afterwards died.

Mrs. Grace pleaded guilty to firinc the shot, but clnlmed it was accidentally fired in a scuffle with her husband, and the Jury acquitted her. She left Atlanta soon afterwards and went back to Philadelphia, where (irace had married her. Next comes the case of Mrs. Callie Scott Applebaum.

In this rase the Jury also returned a verdict for the defendant. I nnn.us Frank Cnae After the Applebaum trial came the famous of Leo Frank, tried and convicted of the murder of little Mary Phngnn.

Solicitor Dorsoy's prosecution of this case not only brought him prominence throughout the state, but carried his name all over the country. No other criminal case in, Georgia or the south has ever attracted such widespread attention. The trial lasted a month and aroused the most intense interest. It resulted In Frank's conviction. Solicitor Dorsey successfully fought all Frank's appeals to the courts The fourth famous case to be tried by Georgia's new governor was that of Victor K.

Innes and his wife. Mrs. Ida May Innes. on a charge of larceny after trust in ccnnectlon with the mysterious disappearance of the Nelms sisters. Eloise and Beatrice, whose case likewise aroused universal interest thioughout the country.

Clippings from The Advertiser and personal letters from Mrs. Helen cd- den, chairman of the executive hoard of the organlxutlon, to friends In Norwich aroused the Interest and enthusiasm of the people In that far away city. The women of Norwich or ganized the Housewives Committee, wuraing in conjunction with tus League of Woman's Service, and im mediately determined to organize and Install a canning plant along the Iden tical lines of the plant In this city. Mrs. J.

J. Desmond of Norwich Is chairman of the committee. A Told In Norwich. Under the heading of "How Kinithorn Women are Practicing Conservation," the Norwich, Bulletin recently carried the following news item rela tive to organization and operation of the plant In this city: While so much attention is being directed to increased production of foodstuffs, an excellent Idea, of how one city Is meeting the problem of taking care of the vegetables raised over and above what can be Immediately used and what can be sold In the market, and a suggestion which might well be adopted by other communities Is furnished in a letter written by Mrs. Hxilen Cadden, of Montgomery, to relatives In this city.

"Referring the clan adopted and the success which Is being attained, Mrs. Cadden writes as follows: Excess of Planting. 'You know we have no cannery here and this year everyone planted an extra large supply of vegetables. What was to be done with the surplus? Of course, the truck farmers could Bhlp and market all they had, but there were wno had not enough to market but more than they could dis pose of so the Mothers' Circle agitated the subject and decided It was -up to the women of Montgomery to get busy and find a way to use that surplus, especially as the government wanted us to save and not waste. I being chairman of the home economics committee of that club was asked to see the federation and other clubs.

result was I was elected chairman of the executive oommittee to devise means to secure money to open and operate a canning club. I thought we yrould rent a place and buy a few cans and small outfit, but It has grown so, that all Montgomery has become Interested and we expect to put up about 20,000 cans and perhaps more. As I have almost everythng to see to have had my hands full. We have an expert canner and assistant also a porter pay store rent gas and electricity. Club Women Work.

The club women go down every morning about 6 or 8 and help- prepare the vegetables. Ws have raised $1,000 and have incorporated, but need $500 or $1,000 more which we can get but must go after. We sell stock but will sell all our canned goods and be able to redeem the stock at the end of the season at least ws hope so besides we can lots of stuff on shares We only went Into the store May 20th and started work about the 24th and have nearly 3,000 cans ready for the market, labels and all so we feel we've done pretty well. We are selling right along. Canned Goods Ready.

The plant in Montgomery has been in operation less than two months, yet thousands of cans of raw material have been turned out, and' an active market for the surplus of the city gardeners as well as truck farmers of the vicinity Is created. One popular feature of the canning plant is the fact that It cans the product of the producer on nhares, either charging merely the cost of the cans and the actual work, or taking one-third of the raw material for the work of canning the whole. This policy, and that of buying the product outright at a cash price, have resulted In the accumulation of several thousands of cas of snap beans, squash, blaekberrVs, beets, corn, okra and other vegetables on the srielves of the plant, all for sale to the housewives of the city. The object behind the organization is to keep down the cost Of living, heme the prices for these canned goods are placed at actual cost of production. Sales of these canned goods to the housewives of the city are made at any hour any day.

High Prices For Cans. In connection with this work toward aiding the government in its campaign for the conservation of the food resources of the country, I. T. Quinn, county farm demonstrator, Saturday called attention to the following item out of Washington last Monday, relative the fact that retail prices of canned goods are claimed to be twice the prices of the canners. "WASHINGTON.
