ill FOOD DRIVE
BE HEED IN
(By Associated Press)
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 10. — That
the final drive for food conservation
pledges will be made during the week
of October 21 to 28, Is the message
received from the food administration
at Washington, by Ralph P. Merritt,
federal food commissioner for Cali
fornia, this morning.
The enrollment campaign is organ
ized by states and most of the states
have already completed their prelim
inary arrangements for assuring the i
complete success of the effort within
their borders. A house to house can- i
vass of the twenty-two million fami
lies in the United States, and the en- '
rollment of every man and woman of
this nation in a mighty food conserva
tion army that will win the war is the
task that the food administration has
undertaken for the week of October
21 to 28.
Herbert C. Hoover, the United
States food administrator, today for
mally announced this final campaign
that will enlist every citizen in the
world war for democracy, in a per
sonal statement and appeal he sets
forth the problem and its solution.
“On the success of this unprece
dented adventure in democracy,” says
the food administrator in his appeal,
■ “will largely stake the issue of the
’ war.” “Food will win the war” Is the
battle cry. Nearly two million wom
en have taken the pledge to furnish
the food our allies and oversea arm
ies require, and already they are vis
ibly increasing the available supplies.
The small amounts which each indi
vidual is asked to save through sub
stitution and avoidance of waste w hen
multiplied by millions, becomes an
effective total. The whole problem
will be solved if the American peo
ple will eat less of the foods which
because of their concentrated nutri
tive, must be sent abroad, and more
, of other foods of which there is an
. abundance.
The foods that must be saved are
wheat, beef, pork, dairy products and
sugar.
Those that should be used gener
ously are fish, poultry, vegetables and
'all cereals except wheat.

(By United Press)
LONDON, Oct. 11—If the war in
he west is a war of wits and netti
ng more there is ground Tor the fear
some people hold that it will end in
i deadlock. For it is then simply one
German brain against another, Gen
>ral Haig, according to men who
tnow him best and admire him most,
las "the German mind".
Fortunately there is good reason to !
lelicve it is not altogether a matter
if wits. There is the ultimate super
ority of the allied resources, and the
lifference in fighting quality between
ree people and subservient people,
lut if the fight were simply between
lindenburg and Haig its outcome
vould be a puzzle.
A great deal has been written re
tarding Hlndenburg and very little
'bout Haig, little in fact, has been
mown about the soldier directing the
British armies in France. Modest
md reticent personally, he has been a
liffieult subject for newspapers, but
he UNITED PRESS In the past few
lays has tapped a new fund of inform
ition concerning him.
Most important of this information
s the fact that he has completed the
irocess of revolutionizing the British
taff. When one reads in a German
ommunlque the phrase “according to j
dan.” one instinctively believes that
he operation described had been car
ied out in keeping with a carefully
irepared plan, that chance did not
igure in the matter at any' stage.
But no person can now doubt that
he Haig armies are working “accord
ng to plan". Even the German high
ommand is beginning to realize this,
flparently, since it is ceasing to at
ribute purposes to the British arm
es beyond those achieved. Instance
fter instance wherein British units
ave taken the ground that would fit
u with an exact plan and have re
rained from taking more, have final
y made It clear to the Germans, who
md thought it were their exclusive
iroperty.
It was Haig who initiated this
haracter of battle, so far as the Bri
ish are concerned. His military cri
ics now say he has the “staff mind":
hat is to say he has the faculty of ch
aining and utilizing the best strate
:ical and tactical judgement of the
nembers of his staff. His power of
bsorption is great, but it is not ex
eeded by his ability to reach a quick
lecision and carry it through. Once
lis decision is made he has few mis
:ivings as to results. This perhaps
ccounts for the serenity that markes
iis countenance under all circum
tances.
Lord Haldance, former Secretary of
Var, was first to ascribe to Haig the
possession of the German Mind. The
officers and men under him at Aider
shot where he was in command from
1912 until the war began, put the
same thing in another way. They
called him, among themselves, "Von
Haig". Haig has been a long time
acquiring this mastery of German
methods, apparently. Field Marshal
Evelyn Wood testified to this state
ment. "Haig knows more about the
German army than any officer in all
England. Twenty years ago he wrote
me from Germany where he was
spending a long leave, a letter so full
of prophetic knowledge that 1 sent it
to his young wife to keep. Some day
some one who writes his life will see
what he forcasted twenty years be
fore he went to fight the Germans.
The soldier will tell you that Haig
is a great soldier—the politician or
statesman of his remarkable grasp of
political affairs. The Rev. Mr. Dun
can. of Edinburgh will relate the Com
mander-in-chief's faithfulness in at
tending Presbyterian service every
Sunday morning. Newspapermen will
subscribe to the general agreement:
He is more than a great soldier, he is
a great gentleman.

FIRE!
A resident of Cordova had a
small fire in his house the other
day. It was extinguished by the
family at a loss of $150.00. The
next day he insured through us.
The cost of his insurance for
three years was less than his
loss at this trifling fire. Are
you, Mr. Property Owner, going
to wait until you have had a fire
before protecting yourself from
loss?
Any person wishing to build
can secure a fine residential or
business lot in Cordova from us
on exceptionally liberal terms.
Five hundred lots listed.
