THE LODGE FAIR The Press and Standard desire* to express editorially the great pleasure its editor had In witness ing the splendid exhibition of the greatness of the Lodge community, and by that we mean that lection contributing In .any why to the suc cess of the first community fair held there. It was great, and It was handsomely carried out. Miss- Tarn, home demonstration agent, in whose territory It was held, as sisted by Mt- Rlsher. farm agent for the county, and Miss Fickling. home demonstration agent, also de serve special ■rentIon x- along with the officers of the community fair association and., the contributors In the way of exhibits. In plain view of the fgir is the partly, finished brick school build ing now In •process of erection, which spells more 4 and ^substantia! progress for the community. Col leton county may well watch Lodge grow. Some of the best citizens of the .county live theVe, and- they are learning the lessons of co-operation.

Now thia difference is greeter than ever. and. at the same time, supplies can no* longer come from moat of the other countries. They must now come from America. Therefore, our allies depend upon us for food as they have never de pended before, and they aak us for it with a right which thev - hwye never had before. For today they are doing the fighting, the suffering and—dying—in our war. We MUST send them the food they have to have. We WILL send it. But v:e can only do It by a wise and loyal yconomy of food on the part of every one of us. We most stimulate ouc .fo^d production, or al! the waste possible, substitute as largely at possible other foods for wheat, beef, pork, dairy products, and apgar. and reduce consumption where it is excessive. To accorrfpllsh these things is the problem of the United States Food Administration. But this accom plishment can come only from the combined personal and voluntary service of all the people of. the land. To that end we want all the peopl? to Join the Food Administration.
