Oct. 12.—Federal Food Commissioner Robert Scoville has received word from Herbert Hoo- ber, -national commissioner, that the final week of the food piedge card campaign has been changed because of the drive for Liberty bonds. The pledge card work was to have ended on October 27, which date is coincl- dent with the last day of the Liberty bord sale, but so_that all forces may be bent to the bond campaign, . pledge_card work will stop during the week of October 21 to Octoker 27~ and be resumed on Ociober 28 and run until November 4. This comes as a result of a request from President Wilson to Mr. Hoover. In his letter the president lauds the work of the food conservation forces, but suggests that they will not be- srudge the loss of time asked for in view of the importance of the suc- cess of the bond issue. will NEGRO SOLDIERS TAKEN FROM GUARD DUTY Number Shot a Carpen- ter Who F.
