Now, however, it is of national import, ard 1 forms no small part of our State's Food Conservation program. For ii whether peace comes in mree mumuc. f or twelve, America must continue to feed the world for another year at least. Furthermore, since the railf roads have been taken over by the government, payment of stock losses must be paid by the government, f nf r-nnrsp falls on the citizens. n ui^u v?. wv ? - 1 ^ | The South Carolina Council of De'* fense, aided by the Food Administra tion .with the cooperation of the railroads. has undertaken the important task of cutting in half the inexecusa" i bly large losses in South Carolina.

It is an awakening word?to keen the faith of Freedom's battle as high and holy as "Our Boys" are keeping jit on every battlefield; to serve and sacrifice, and count no gift or service too great when eiven for the country. And the spirit of it was never more eloqently expressed than in the letter of a Georgia mother, who said: "It's a lonely little home now. with the boys gone. I had but three to give, but I have given j them to their country. It was I their will to fight, as it is mine to I wait and work. Sometimes I see i { the service stars, on the little 1 home flag, through tears: . But it i3 not a time for tears. It Is a time to work, and fight to win!" That's the spirit that doesn't "break faith"?the spirit of the home, hearts and the home work to win. And it isn't solitary, for it speaks for man and mother alike. And through that spirit there will be victory. AMERICA'S PLEDGE.
