-SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. Nov
22—Food conservationists here
are preparing to conserve with
a vengeance.
Certain residents believe
that window boxes can produce
something besides flowers, and
in places where there are no
back yards these boxes can be
“put out” in potatoes, carrots,
beets and other vegetables.”
“There is no reason why
every occupant of an apart
ment or other habitations
where there is no back yards
should not do his or l/er bit
toward helping along the food
saving campaign,” these con
servationists state.
Special window boxes, big
ger and deeper than the aver
age, am] capable of producing
a good supply of vegetables,
are scheduled make their ap
pearance soon.

J. D. MacCormick received the fol
lowing communication from the Food
committee, of Juneau, which he has
turned over to Cordova Chapter
1 American Red Cross and will he giv
j en the proper attention:
“This committee has been instruct
ed by the food administration at
Washington; to do everything poss
ible, which in its discretion is war
iS
ranted, towards helping thd organiza
; tion of FOOD SAVING COMMITTEES
I
in the various communities of Alaska.
“We have Just concluded the ini
' tial campaign in Juneau. It was suc
j cessful to a degree, far beyond our
I anticipations. We consider it / a
splendid example of the patriotism of I
jour townspeople, and their willing-;
ness to do all in their power to help j
I win this war. *
“Ojy: object at present is; to enlist j
| the aid of some of the leading citi
zens, who will take in charge, the
formation of FOOD SAVING COM
MITTEES in their respective com
munities. .
‘WILL YOU HELP US? IF SO
TELEGllXPH US, COLLECT.
“Oh a favorable reply we will send j
you an outline of our plan of cam- ■
paigi) and will furnish you with sam- \
pies of all our literature. Some of
the necessary material has been sent
us from Washington, some of it we
have tad printed here. We have a
considerable supply on hand, and so
far as it lasts, we would furnish you
from here.
‘"^he campaign began fhroughout
the States Oct. 29, in Juneau we
were one week later, starting Nov. 5.
But so long as the war lasts, it will
not be too late to make a start.
“The work as we have carried it
on here does not require much of any
ones time, because it has been so dis
tributed, that many are made to carry
the burden.
“We hope to have your active ass
istance in this matter, which is of
great importance, and trust to be fav
ored with an early reply."
The above letter is accompanied by
the following appeal from the United
States Pood Administration at
Washington:
To All Active Workers, Family En
rollment campaign:
Uncle Same is mighty big and
strong, but he is not so big and strong
that he can afford to break a prom
ise. There is not a real American
in this country who would not fight
to make good one of Uncle Sam’s
promises. When l)ncle Sam says any
thing, that means that all his loyal
sons and daughters have said it. The
honor and interest of this nation are
in the keeping of our splendid citizen
ry.
Here is the proposition: We have
promised to "grub-siake" the allies.
We said: “You need not farm—you
fight!”
They did not farm, but how they
did fight!
Winter is coming on. There were
few for the sowing and there are
fewer now for the harvest. The pinch
has come. In Prance they are look
ing across the sea and saying:
“How about that grub-stake. Uncle
Sam; how about that grub-stake!”
They are not whimpering, the
Frenchmen, they are not that kind,
but they are hungry and if we fail
them with our “grub-stake” they will
S-T-A-R-V-E! Thousands of them— j
men, women and little children. i
Gnawing at a mere empty promise
will not help them. Nothing will help
then) but food. * !
/
It is food that will win the war.
How are we going to get it?
We are going to save it—save it to
save our pals, because that’s what the
allies are in this fight.
We are going to make good on
Uncle Sam’s promise that he would
furnish the “grub-stake” for this
war.
The allies need more wheat, more
meat, more sugar. It is either wheat
less and meatless days for us or'
wheatless and meatless months for
them.
And we are going to help—every one
of us. There is no mistake about that.
We will make good on the “grub
stake” promise for the sake of the
folks whi trusted us and for the sake
of our soldiers as well. Just remem
ber that they are bound for France—
the land where we are sending the
“grub-stake.”
We want no regrets after this ’war.
We have had ample warning of the
condition which awaits us, unless
every American ci’’: n responds to
the call of duty. ' i ■ and I want to
feel, when the regiments of our boys
return from the uatfefields of Europe,
some of them ■- broken, but all
victorious, that we have done our part,
even to the la^t detail, and we may
not have to lay upon our own con
sciences the loss, through our ne
glect, of a single American.
