Chairman for the Food Conservation

the Food Conservation movement in
Chesterfiel 1 County. During the
week of Oc'ober 22d l?nd 27th, there
will be an active campaign carried on

in order to aid in the conservation of
food. The head of every household
in Chesterfield County will be requested

The County Council of Defense
wishes to call to the attention of
the public the second issue of Liberty
bonds, which the United States government,
is now offering to the public.
These bonds will draw interest at the
rate of 4 per cent., payable semi-annually.
An application can be made
at any bank in the county. It is the
duty of those who are able to loan
the government their money, to do
so, in order that the war may be properly
prosecuted. Those who stay
at home should remember that some
one else is fighting, in order that they
may live, and be protected here at
home, therefore, it is the duty of
everyone who can possibly do so, to
purchase Liberty bonds. No one
knows how high taxes may go during,
but money invested in Libertv bonds
will be safe from ordinary taxation.

LA FOLLETTE'S "DEFENSE"
The following indictment of La
Follotte, by The Charleston News
i?nd Courier, though couched in mild
language, goes straight to the heart
of the matter:
Senator La Follette spoke for
three hours in the Senate in defense
of his course in regaftl to the war. He
ijuoted Lincoln, Webster, Clay, Sumner,
Burke, Fox and Lord Chatham.
He said a great many things. But
nothing that he said in defense of his
utterances alters the fact that these
utterances have been detrimental to
his country in time of war and have
given aid and comfort to the enemy.
That fact is fixed and unchangeable.
It cannot be altered or obscured
though La Pollette arirue him
self black in the face. It is the only
fact that matters. ' All of La Follette's
fine-spun casuistry about the
right ?f free speech collapses like a
house of cards before the impact of
one word?Russia. If Russia were
still effectively in the war, the struggle
would be over before our troops
got into the trenches. We know beyond
a shadow of a doubt that La
Follctte has assisted in creating a
situation which will bring death to
many of^our brave Americans.
That is only a part of the story
sut it is enough. When such consequences
as this follow from the employment
of what La Follette misrails
free speech, there is no room
!or further argument. In effect, if
iot in intent. La Follette is an ene
