America greets you, watches over you, listens foriyou, Woodrow Wilson! GOD SAVE YOU, WOODROW! WOULD YOU SAVE A HUMAN LIFE FROM, DEATH BY FAMINE? Millions of starving women and children in Eu- rope are looking to the people of America to feed! them. The fighting is over, but famine, méther of anarchy, is still hovering over the world: Millions of Russians, the experts report, must} certainly die this winter of starvation. How many more, the people of America—especially our good housewives—must determine. The poor of Po- land, Finland, Armenia and the Czecho-Slavs are starving. The whole war-wrecked world looks to; America for food. All the food of the world is practically in a com- mon pot. Statisticians know where every pound is located and what shipping and other manipula- | tion is needed to distribute it to the best advant- age. THERE IS NOT ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE, even if.no one buys or consumes more than he or she needs. Because the United States is one of the great depositories of food, and because the shipping afcilities from this country are in better shape than in almost any other zone, we must do more than our share. Twelve million tons of food were exported from this country last year. This year the pledge of the United States to Europe is 2,000,000 tons. We must save—THAT IS, NOT USE—two-thirds more food than we did last year. It is a great promise, and only possible of fulfillment if the housewives of America exert all that they have of perseverance and thrift. It is no longer a question of substituting certain foodstuffs for others. Vegetable oil for butter? There is as great a shortage of vegetable oil as of the dairy product. Coarse grains, instead of wheat? There is really more wheat than coarser grains, comparatively speaking, but no more than a supply of each. Sugar is scarce, but the sugar substitutes are scarcer.

TOWNLEYISM AND GOOD ROADS roads movement, and ought to help further to il- is not a real friend of the farmer. |appears to be about the only element in the staté that is opposed to it. The fact is that this plan is an absolute neces- sity. Minnesota will néver get really good roads —roads that will stand up, roads that will make it possible to shorten the route from producer to ;consumer by motor truck service, roads that will cheapen the cost of getting the farmer’s output chases to his home—in any other way. Since the cost of this road system is to come out of automobile owners, some protest might pos- sibly have been looked for from them. None has come, and none is likely to come. While the in- terest and retirement funds will come out of aisto-|; mobile license fees, these fees will be in lieu of all} other automobile taxes and the automobile owner will pay: little more than he does now. What in- crease. it does entail will ‘be far more’ than made up by the fact that” his’ upkeep cost will decteasé very materially when he-has good, hard roads to ride on. If Townleyism has decided to oppose this move- ment—apparently because it looks like fatal com- petition to its plans to bond the state for socialis- tic enterprises—it willbe making as great a mis- take as it did when it offered the author of “‘Why Your Country Is at, War” as its candidate for. gov- ernor. —Duluth Heald. h ~ LE |THE SOLDIER SHOULD KEEP HIS _INSUR- ANCE. One of the wisest things the government of the United States did in-its war preparations was to substitute an intelligent government life and cas- ualty insurance system for the antiquated pen- sion system with all its gross but inevitable abuses. One of the best pieces of advice that can be given to the returning soldier is to hang on to his government insurance. At any time within five years of the declara- tion of peace, the soldier can change his war- period term policy into ordinary life, limited pay- ment life or endowment insurance. The quicker he does it the better.” The more of it he can carry the better. ment sells it at the ordinary term insurance rate of the life insurance companies, carrying itself, as it should, the extraordinary risk of war. Reg-' ular insurance, @ic has it is advisable to carry, will of course cost more; but it will-be worth as much more as it costs. An insurance concern, as a believer inlife insur- ance is urging this advice upon soldiers and has instructed its agents everywhere to use every opportunity to enforce it. This company says to the soldier in a bulletin: “Hold fast to your life insurance. The allowances and the compensation substitute for the old pension system is given you out of hand. But the life insurance, the most important now of all, you can retain when muster- ed out by your own personal initiative. Do not for a moment think of dropping it. If you cannot keep up the entire ten thousand, keep up as much campaign of a day or a week, nor to save one spe- ciak kind of provender, but who pledges herself to a program of DAILY FOOD SAVING, carried out with the same devoted enthusiasm that has characterized the American women throughout the whole struggle, will certainly do her part in the great reconstruction period that is to come.

It has been engaged for nearly sixty years in the work of inducing people to take and to hold life insur- ance.
