PAGE 2 EDITORIAL NOTES A food pledge in the window is riotic home. membership card the sign of a pat- It is impossible that anything but benefit can come to the American family which signs the Food Admin istration Pledge. Millions of women and children in Europe our Allies can be saved from bitter hunger if you will eat one slice less of wheat bread each day. If you want Germany to win the war, waste food use up the food Deeded by those who are fighting her. If you think it better to whip Ger many in Europe, rather than fight her here, help feed our Allies and keep them in the fight, sign up as a member of the Food Administration. Germany is striving to fasten her system on Europe and the world, through Starvation. You can help thwart Germany's ambition by en rolling as an active member of the Food Administration. Don't be part ners of the Prussians. America will deserve to lose this war if, through unwillingness to practice small economies, it fails to save the food necessary to keep our allies in the fight until victory is won. If American women fail their part in this war, it their first failure. President to do will be Wilson says the most vital part they play is to enroll as members of can the Food Administration and "cheerful ly accept its directions and advice." The women and children of our Allies in Europe know hunger in its bitter terms. There is no need that the women and child) en of America should be hungry. They may eat abundantly but wisely and without waste and still save the women and children of our Allies from the extremes of hunger. That's why every woman is urged to enroll as a member of the Food Administration. The skyscraper goes up stone by stone, brick by brick, foot by foot, day by day, slowly. There is no other way to build it. Europe's war shortage must be made up by indi vidual Americans through saving bit by bit, ounce by ounce, day by day, persistently. There is no other way to do it . That pound of wheat flour you save every week will weigh very heavily on the Kaiser's mind. Amerca is requested to save fats to make the German ranks thin. That will do it and you can help. Use a third of an ounce less every day. Every square meal you save for the boys in the trenches and their folks back home brings Kaiser ism that much nearer mortal star vation. Millions of European farmers have left their fields to fight for the safety of America and the world. Those fields therefore haven't been producing much. Ours have. Eu rope's food has got to come from somewhere. America is the place. It is little enough to ask the indi vidual American to conserve what our fields produce, so our European brethren can have plenty and keep up the fight. Save your bit. Your plans for dinner, Mrs. Housewife, are just as important in their way as General Haig's plans for a night attack. Haig aims to get the maximum results with the minimum of material. He uses plenty, but he doesn't waste any. So should you. That's the way you and Haig will win this war. The boy you cheered when he marched away will stand knee deep in the trench mud, he will face poison gas and deadly flame. He will endure all the terrors of mod ern battle. That is his bit. Your bit, perhaps, is to save one slice of bread a day in order that he may not fight in vain.

For playing six games of baseball, each of the White Sox received $3,900. That is more than Shakespeare received for any six plays he wrote. It is more than any American General of the Revolution was paid in a year. No college president in the United States up to the time of our Centen nial got so much as that for a year's salary. It is more than half as much as it cost to fit out the whole expedition of Columbus when he discovered thisContinent. Daniel Webster didn't get $3,900 salary in a year to be United States Senator. His pay was only $6 per day. That sum is almost 40 times as much as Poe received for his spirit ed poem "The Bells." When Preisdent Jefferson sent Lefis and Clark in 1804 to make the first journey by white men across the country to the Pacific, the party started from St. Louis with 40 men. That memorable march of 9,000 miles cost $2,500 to finance $1,400 less than Edie Collins obtained for his six ball games. For about twelve hours of play, the World's Series' winning the ball tossers received more than half as much money as was paid to the au thor of the first great American made dictionary, who toiled for years over his immense task. For these twelve hours of play their pay was over four times the average salaries of all the preachers in the United States for a whole year. t It is considerably above the com posite salary of American college presidents and more than double that of college professors.
