One Hundred and Forty-Two Years of Labor and Struggle •THE American people fought their first 1 battles for liberty and the rights of selfgovemment one hundred and forty-two years ago. qAt that time, and for many yean thereafter, their reaKratinn of their national aspirations and of the goal toward "which they were really striving was vague and indistinct But step by step they straggled onward and upward toward a fight which grew dearer as their eyes and minds slowly opened Io its significance- Today, as a result of theur struggles and their sacrifices, we possess and enjoy our priceless American institutions. Th€ Imine- q These institutions must be preserved. The diate need structure so laboriously reared in these one hunIrthf fllVWrf- dred and forty-two years will he utterly destroyed + * if we do not spring to its defense with every atom Bimt OI OUT our gnj determination. This is not a BOney in situation which may be trifled with, or evaded, or YIDE'DVY put off.

LIBERTY DAY PROCLAMATION.

“By the President of the United States of America: “A Proclamation: “An enemy who has grossly abused the power of organized movement and who seeks to dominate the world by the might of a sword, challenges the rights of America and the liberty and life of all the free nations of the earth. Our brave boys are facing the fire of battle in defense of the honor and rights of America and the liberty of nations. To sustain them and to assist our gallant associates in the war, a generous and patriotic people have been called upon to subscribe to the third Liberty Loan. “Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, president of the United States of America, do appoint Friday, the twenty-sixth day of April, one thousand nine hundred and eighteen, as Liberty Day. On the afternoon of that day I request the people of the United States to assemble in their respective communities and liberally pledge anew their financial support to sustain the nation’s cause. Patriotic demonstrations should be held in every city, town and hamlet throughout the land under the general direction of the secretary of the treasury and the immediate direction of the Liberty loan committees organized by the federal reserve banks. Let the nation’s response to the third Liberty loan express in unmistakable terms the determination cf America to fight for peace, the permanent peace of justice. “For the purpose of participating in Liberty day celebrations all employes of the federal government throughout the country whose services can be spared may be excused at 11 o’clock noon, Friday, the twenty-sixth of April. ‘ “WOODROW WILSON.” “By the President. “Robert Lansing, Secretary of State.”

OFFICIAL FOOD NEWS

By Dr. Harry E. Barnard.

Food Administrator for Indiana.

Indiana is asked to go on a strictly wheatless diet until after the next harvest hi a special appeal sent every county food administrator by Dr. Harry E. Barnard, federal food administrator for Indiana. This is in view of the serious situation resulting from the wheat shortage, there being but 40 per cent, of the nation’s requirements available, and demands from the nation’s associates in the war pressing. For the purpose of getting into trade channels all the hoarded wheat in Indiana, Dr. Barnard has designated the week of April Bth as “Bring in the wheat week.” County food administrators are asked to cooperate in the effort which, if unsuccessful, will be followed by a requisition of the hoarded grain. Canned hominy is not a recognised substitute for wheat flour, neither is barley, puffed rice, rice polish, corn flakes nor fruited oats. The federal administration is preparing a list of breakfast foods recognized under the fifty-fif£y rule. The Indiana State fair has concurred in the suggestion of Dr. Barnard that fair associations this year withdraw their wheat product premium lists and offer prizes for the best articles made from substitutes. It is expected every other fair association in the State will fall in line with the idea. Wheat or rye ground for stock feed is in violation of the federal regulations. The grains are needed for human consumption and a severe penalty attaches for their use in any other manner.

Families not observing wheatlbss days and meals are expected to conform strictly to the one and one-half pounds per week per person ration just promulgated by the federal food administration. In public eating houses the limit is six pounds to every ninety meals served, with a maximum serving of two ounces of wheat products per meal and no wheat products served unless specifically ordered. John Ruger of Lafayette has joined the staff of the Indiana food administrator to have charge of all baking problems. A bakery Inspector will be added to the staff, whose business will be an examination of shops, accounts, formulaes, etc. Every Indiana food administrator, demonstrator, merchants’ representative or any one else interested in tha important problems connected with this patriotic work is invited te attend the conference at the Claypool, April Sth. J. W. Hallowell, in charge of the State’s administration section of the food administration, who is very close to Herbert Hoover, and himself a recognized authority, will address the workers. At the time a policy will be outlined in reference to a wheatless diet for Indiana until next harvest, as recently requested by Dr. Barnard. County food administrators are authorized to give ten days’ notice to farmers hoarding wheat to place their surplus over seeding requirements in trade channels. Failure so to do means the requisition of this wheat by the food administration. It is believed notice will be sufficient and .that there will be no occasion to requisition Indiana wheat.

OUR MARSHMALLOW ROLL Is fine and better than ever if that is possible. Better leave your order now and you will not be disappointed like you were last Saturday. O’RILEY < f .

A letter from one of Leland’s friends informed family here of his illness. • Teachers are going to be scarce the coming winter from all appearances at present. We are informed the state is now several thousand teachers short and more of them are being called for war service every month. Our own town experience the past winter fully demonstrates just how hard it is to get teachers that are capable .of filling the requirements according to law, and still be able to give satisfactory service in the school. Look now like the State board would have to let down the bars a little, for the period of the war, anyway, or re-instate some of the old time teachers, who really knew how to teach, instead of using so many immature school girls on 'the job. There are thousands of middle age persons who know how to teach and would make good as such, but who for various reasons could not get a license under the present rigid conditions. If this class were put on the job there would not be such a shortage the coming year.—Remington Press.
