Buy a Bond and Get a Button At any Bank or Bond Dealer LIBERTY LOAN COMMITTEE OF NEW ENGLAND CONSERVATION ARMY RECRUITING DRIVE "Food will win the war," is the slogan that is behind the great drive that will be made through Vermont and the other states in the union during the week beginning October to enlist every housewife in the conservation army of the Food Administration. Machinery has been constructed through the agency of a state executive committee appointed by Federal Food Administrator Hoover, of which Governor Horace F. Graham is the chairman. to make a house to house canvass of the homes in Vermont with an appeal to each woman to sign a pledge card. In every city and town there are patriotic men and women who' will undertake the work of actual solicitation.

The importance of food conservation cannot overstated. "Food will win the war," and every Vermont man and woman wants to do his or her share to help in the battle against Prussian militarism. It is because of his faith in the sturdy loyalty of Vermonters that State Food Administrator Hartness is that there will be an earnest desire to sign these pledge cards. In one sense Vermont has already gone on record in the campaign. At the Rutland War Convention, after Herbert Hoover's personal message to the men, women and children of the state had been read and Mr.

Hoover's representative had forced home the vital importance of conservation, the Vermonters present, assembled by the hundreds from all parts of the state, amid enthusiasm, pledged the commonwealth's support to the Food Administration, because they recognized that our allies are sorely in need of additional supplies if they are to continue in full strength in the field and because they further recognize that from America alone that their failing stores can be replenished. The Food Administration asks all housewives and those who handle food in the homes to sign the pledge cards. This pledges each to save small amounts through substitution and by avoiding waste, and these small amounts, when multiplied by millions, become: an immense amount that will be of the greatest importance. The whole problem will be solved if the American people will make these small savings. Governor Graham is calling on the people of the state to sign the pledge cards and to cooperate with the Food Administration as a war duty.

Congressman Frank L. Greene says that such cooperation "means that a tremendous weapon, defensive and offensive, will be wielded by the mothers, sisters, daughters, sweethearts and wives of the boys who are to fight the country's battles 'Somewhere In and he further declares that America will feed her own people and her allies, the end of the war will be brought about with so much less of the sacrifice of precious lives of Yankee boys in khaki, because food in these modern times Is an absolutely essential part of the sinews of war." During campaign week a "House Card" bearing valuable suggestions as to just how food conservation and substitution can be effected will be placed in every home. And in every home that has enrolled in the conservation army by signing a pledge card will also be placed an artistic card showing that the family residing there has shown its lovalty in a practical way and is desirous of lessening the sacrifice of "precious lives of Yankee hoys in Khaki." These cards are to be displayed in the windows so that it may be seen at a glance who the real supporters of the government and our armies are. Food Administrator James Hartness is anxious that the housewives of the state respond as a this call to service, not only because 1 it means a shortening of the war and the saving of American lives, but also because in a very definite way Vermont in on trial before her sister states in the union, just as other states are on trial before mont. The Food Administrate 1,2 Washington will publish thre ghout the press of the land daily comparisons of the enrollment in each state, so that what each state does will be common property.

The Vermont Food Administration officials know that if Vermont housewives will merely ratify their present thriftiness by signing the pledge card when presented to them, no opportunity will be given to critics of this state to reneat the unfortunate strictures on Vermont occasioed by the misrepresentation of the state's enlistments in the military service. It is recognized that thrift rules in most. Vermont homes, but because a woman is now doing all she can along that line is no reason why she should fail to sign the card. She must demonstrate her willingness for the fair name of the state, for if the Vermont enrollment is low criticism surely will follow. "Food will win the war" is Mr.

Hoover's message through Mr. Hartness, to the people of Vermont. Mr. Hartness calls on the housewives of the state and- those who handle food to seize this "opportunity show their patriotism and desire to protect to and cooperate with our boys at the front by signing the pledge card, and he asks that all loyal housewives make plain their patriotism by displaying in the window of their home the membership card which signifies that that home has signed the pledge card, has enrolled in the conservation army and is doing its share to place Vermont in the forefront of the states of the union in this move to protect the lives of American soldiers overseas, and the families and soldiers of our allies.
