President Wilson has authorized She following signed statement: This war is one of nations not -of armies and all of our one hun dred million people must be economically and industrially a justed to war conditions if this Na tion is to play its full part in the conflict. The problem before us is mot, primarily, a financial problem. S)ut rather a problem of increased production of war essentials and the rsaving of the materials and the labor necessary for the support and quipmant of onr Army and Navy for nonessentials uses up the labor of men, the products of the farm, mines, and factories, and overbur dens transportation, all of which must be used to the utmost and at i heir best for war purposes The great results which we seek can be ootained oiily by the partici pation of every member of the Na tion, young and oM. in a nation si concerted thrift movement. I there fore urge, that our people every where pledge themselves, as sug gested by the Secretary of the Treasury, to the practice of thrift; to serve the Government to their utmost in increasing production in Specials Friday ill Saturday Hams, per pound 30c Pure Lard, per pound 30c Dry Salt Jowls 24c Rock Salt, 70 pounds $1.10 25c Coffee 20c 20c Coffee 15c 30c Coffee 25c Peas, per can 12c Corn, per can 12c Bulk Rolled Oats, lb 9c Oat Flour, per pound 9c Dried Apricots, lb. 20c Dried Peaches, lb 15c Prunes, per pound 13c JNO. HEDCALF Monroe City, Missouri. all fields necessary to the winning of the war; to conserve food and fuel and useful materials of every kind; to devote their labor only to the most necessary tasks; and to buy only those thhgs which are es sential to individual health and efficiency; and that the people, as evidence of their loyalty, iavest ail mat they can save in Liberty b.mds and war savings stamps. The se curities issued by the Treasury De partment are so mauy of them within the reach of every one that the door of opportunity in this matter is wide open to all of us To practice thrift in peace times s a virtue and brings great benefit to the individual at all rimes; with the desperate need of the civilized world to-day for materials and labor with which to end the war, the practice of individual thrift is a patriotic duty and a necessity. I appeal to all vho now own eith er Liberty bunds or war savings stamps to continue to practice economy and thrift and to appeal to ill who do not own Government securities to do likewise and pur chase them to the extent of their means. The man who buys Gov ernment securities transfers the purchasing power of his money to the United States Government until after this war, and to that same de gree does not buy in competition with the Government. I earnestly appeal to every man, woman, and child to pledge them selves on or before the 28th of June to save constantly and to buy as regularly as possible the securities ol the Government; and to do this as far as possible through member ship in war-savings societies. The 28th of June ends this special period of enlistment in the great volunteer army of production and saving here at home. May there be none unenlisted on rtiat day! Woodrow Wilson. Masters J J and Horace Kent Brown, nf Hannibal are visitina their grandp trents. ir and Mrs. J J Brown Two New Armies The news of the day brings in formation of two new armies to be formed for auxiliary war work. One is an industrial army of 200,000 consisting of drafted men who have been rejected for slight physical de fects, insufficient to bar them from ordinary occupations. They will be employed in producing or hand ling equipment for the army, re leasing an equal number of men for the fighting line. The other is a mobile army of agricultural laborers, who will be used in the wheat harvest, gradually working north from Oklahoma to North Dakota as the season ad vances. To these, of course, will be added hundreds of thousands of men of draft age who will find employment on the farms or in useful industries before July 1, under Provost Mar shal Crowder's "work-or-fight" order. This order, by the way, is one of the most popular yet issued by Geo. Crowder. It is expected to clean out the poolroom and street-corner loafers and to put the slacker stamp upon those who deserve it. In the meanwhile, the able-bodied loafers just below or above the draft age would do well to look out The nation's man power must be fully mobilized. The next problem is to see that those not technically sub ject to military duty be usefully em ployed, if physically capable, no. matter what tneir ages may be. Deliveries of the 8,000 motor trucks recently ordered by the Motor Transport Service of the War Department are to be made be tween August 1 and December 1 These trucks, known as "Class B Standard." will have a capacity of from 3 to 5 tons, and will be dis tributed as needed through the various branches of the Army. Ten thousand of these class B standard ized trucks hive previously been ordered and are now in process of manufacture and delivery.
