PAGE FOUR PROVED SPIRIT OF DEMOCRACY Voluntary Basis of Food Saving Showed Heart of America Beat True for Freedom. To the voluntary service and sacrl- fice of the American people must be @ttributed the continued health, etrength and morale of the Allled ar- wmies and the civil populace, Upon this spirit of service and sac- rifice will depend Burope's fate in the months to come. In the past year we have carried out an export program, the magnitude of which is almost be- yond comprehension. But with the mew demands that have come, with the liberation of nations freed from German ocppression, our exports must be almost doubled. Instead of 11,820, 000 tons, we must ship twenty million tons of food to Europe In the coming year—as much as can be pushed through our ports.

Meeting this world need on a purely voluntary basls, the American people have conclusively proved that democ- racy is a success ana that in time of need It will rise to its own defense. It there were no other accomplish- sment to its credit the very fact that it nas shown the strength of democracy has In itself more than justified the existence of the Food Administration in the eyes of the world. Less than four months after the United States declared war the United States Food Administrator expressed his determination to meet America's food problem on a busis of voluntary action and reiterated his confidence that awakened democracy would prove trresistible. “Many thinking Americans,". said Mr. Hoover, “and the whole world nave been watching anxiously the last four months In the fear that demo- eratic America could not organize to micet autocratic Germany., Germany nas been confident that it could not be Fred Houlhusen is getting his homestead in shape for the winter.

We are happy to have Grace Gib- bons back in school once more. She has returned from her stay with rela- tives in Atwater and is once again in the fifth grade. - " After only two months of school this year, we have exactly 180 pupils enrolled. 3 The Joseph Dominick Concert com- pany delighted the children on Wed- nesday by coming to school and giv- ing a half hour’s free entertainment done. Contrary proof is hmmediately to the entire school in the assembly at our door, and our people have al:|room. Their sample program, con- ready demonstrated thelr abllity to|sisting of violin, piano and vocal se- mobllize, organize, enduré and prepare |lections and captivating readings, voluntarily and efficiently in many di- |thrilled every pupil. In the evening rections and upon the mere word of |the concert company gave a very fine snsplration aside from the rewarkable assemblage of our Army and finances," The history of the FFood Adwministra- tlon has clearly shown that the frust of those wlio put their faith in democ- racy has not been misplaced. MANY DIGGING FOR WEALTH OF NEGRO Died Without Disclosing Where- abouts of Treasure Buried Years Ago. Murphy, Cal~—History has It that ‘1 the early duys a negro named “Bus- ter,” who mined on the San Antone ereek, had a vast amount of gold dust —-a bake oven full of the precious metal—and he burled it. Later the ne- gro died without divulzing the whebe- sbouts of his wealth, Many people They Are Daily Working. have In years past goue to the scene of Buster's cabin and looked for the treasure. Divining rods and all known schemes have been resorted to, but without svail. Now comes David Baritini of Murphy, and Donald Kaspar of Falr ©aks, and they have joined In a furth- or search for the gold. Both are con- fident that they have the "“inside track” and will find thelr fortunes, and they sre daily working in great faith as to the ultimate success of thelr under- takipg. To this date they are assidu- ously digging away without results. Sinister. The latest German defense of hospl- tal bombing led Representative Tague fo remark: “That defense is as slnister, and it shows conditions as rotten, as the speech of the rich business man, who chuckled : “‘T ought to get myseif a new type: writer.

A big crowd should witness its per- formance on that date. Woman’s Dream. Today one of Olive Schrelaer's dreams is coming true. It Is the one that symbolizes the new woman and {8 catled “Life’s Gifts.” “1 saw g woman sleeping: In her sleep she dreamed Life stood before her and held in each hand a gift—in the one, Love; in the other, Ireedom. And she sald to the woman, ‘Choose. and (he woman waited long and she sald ‘Freedom. And Life said, ‘Thou hast well chosen. If thou hadst sald ‘Love, T should have given thee that thon didst ask for, and I should have gone from thee and returned no more, Now the day will eome when I shall return. On that day ¥ shall bring hoth gifts In one hand. T heard the woman laugh In her sleep.” His Luck.
