For months the idea has been current

over the delayed meals. That
job is too big for the women. It is!
too big for the outfit. It is too big :
for the individual family. Canning J

jobs. They are community Jobs like j

of the community.

Do these things for your own people.
Business efficiency will tell the

that she could feed herself, that she
had developed home resources.

Reported to Have Made Disloyal
Statements, Which Arouse Gov
ernor of Minnesota.
St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 21.?Governor
Burnquist announced tonight
that if an official investigation of
the alleged disloyal statements
made by Senator La Follette at the
closing session of the Non-Partisan
League High Post of Living Con
lerence nere last night revealed
that his remarks were seditious, the
Minnesota Public Safety Commifinion
of which the governor is chairman,
will ask for the senator's arrest.
During his speech here last night
Senator 1*1 Follette was quoted an
having said that he was "opposed
to war, thought Germany rather
rough with the technical rights of
American citizens but that he did
not think the exercise of these technical
right in travelling on beiligerant
merchantmen laden with munitions
was worth going to war
about."
Cries of "Yellow!" came from the
audience. When quiet was restored
the senator continued:
"I believe that the American munitions
makers encouraged Americans
to ride on such ships to give
them semblance of protection. I
was not in favor of beginning this
war. We had no grievance. The
German government had interfered
with our rights to travel on the
high seas?as passengers on munition
ships?of Great Britain. On
tnese grievances wnicn were lnsignifloant,
considering the rights and
consequences involved, we went to
war."
Probably True.
