Dear Sir: I It is the desire of the United States' k Pood adminstration that Herbert Hoo-' B rer's message to the American people i shall reach every city and town, vil lage ard household during the week; B .npopmbpr 1st. It is perhaps the (most important message that Mr. Hoover has sent out, since it presents an. outline for a program of service to humanity at a time when world conditions are chaotic and unsettled, and in many countries famine is threatened and millions of people are to he fed with food sent by the American people. \ During the week of December lsc the Food administration asks that Mr * -V- ? A. V Hoover's message pe reaa in an meeu ' 5ng of "Women's clubs, at all secret society meetings and at all public gatherings. A copy of the Hoover message is enclosed herewith.

For faster than letter or cable Our thoughts and our prayers car meet; And how much it means to each other.

Farewell until we meet again Beyond the portal bars; Our wedding will take place in heaven Above the shining stars. we 11 live iorever wun me angeis, Xo sorrow we shall know; Our home in heaven will finer be Than any here below. So help me, God. to walk with Thee, And keep the faith with him Who died in arms to make me free, Tho' never lost a limb. ^od never makes mistakes, I know, Altho' my grief is great; I have surrendered my will to Him All yielding to my fate. My heart lies buried in Southern France, My love beneath the sod: My life on earth's to do some good, My only hope is God. ?Composed by Jilima uiayiou. The Herald and Ner^s One Year for si.n?
