The United States govern ment is calling upon each and every one of these families to aid in win ning the war by saving food. Every family--meaning men, women and children, white and black-is urged to conserve the food supply because the last ounce may win the war. During the week of October 21 to 28, a great nationwide campaign is to be launched by Herbert Hoover, na tional food administrator, when all Americans will be asked-to join in the food saving movement. Hundreds and thousands of workers will be in the field to sign up those who want to support the government. There is nothing compulsory about the move ment. It is simply a patriotic appeal to every man that loves Democracy. The minimum number of pledges expected from Pickens county is 4000 The campaign manager for the coun ty will have many assistants in the field and an effort will be made to reach every home. Get behind the government and help win the war. One slice of bread saved a day means just that much more food for the boys who are be ing sent to battle for Democracy in Europe.
