The food pledge campaign in Union County is a good example of what work and organization will do. Union Oountv has shown over 08 per cent of onr housewives sign ing, this is as many as may be expected and the minority as a rule, refused to' sign through ignorance, fear of incur ring financial obligation, fear of taking an obligation and not being able to live up to it. The committee in charge of the campaign, Mr. T. J. Scroggin, chairman; Mrs. A. E. Ivanhoe, assistant chairman, U. G. Coitch, Paul JI. Spill man and Miss May Murphy, deserve great credit and they acknowledge gratefully the assistance given them by the school hoards, school principals and teachers, The Neigh borhood Club, many other voluntary workers, and especi ally the brave army of school boys and girls who scoured the highways andhywnys for signers. They are Uncle Sam's Army, just, like the boys at the front. NOW COMES THE EMI5AKMIO. Lest anyone forget,' let us repeat that we are entering the era of enibargos and restrictions. How they affect ns will, peril a ps determine our views toward them. H. S. Lovett, chairman of the Union Pacific, has been vested with authority by the President to enforce embar goes on the railroads. C Some one has determined (bat it is essential to the Na tional defense that Ihe transportation of coal, coke, ore, limestone, sugar beets, sugar cane, sorghum cane and riiw materials for use in the metal, sugar and fertilizer indus tries bo facilitated.. Therefore he has ordered that open 4 ) freight cars, other than flat cars, be not furnished to si ip'.nents of certain commodities. These include: Materials used for construction of highways, except coal; materials for repairs of theatres or buildings used for ami senient purposes; materials used in the manufacture of pleasure vehicles, furniture or musical instruments; passenger vehicles, furniture and musical instruments. 1 u other words some one, Mr. I .ovett, or some one else is going to run the railroads, tell them what to ship or not to ship, ruin one man's business here and one man's busi ness there, all because some one thinks that certain arti cles are not needed somewhere for the National defense. This is power beyond the dreams of ihe man who said, "Would that mine enemy might write a book." What a rivalry there will be among the various-trust-, to get on the preferred list. Mr. Lovett seems to look with consideration upon our A fanner can get an advance ,,f si.

TOO LENIENT. Tt is becoming to be the opinion of many citizens that the United States is acting altogether too lenieiitlv with the element that is openly and violently opposing the war policy of the Nation. Such actions as holding' up ti'oop trains and 'preaching sedition should be handled in only one wav with a blank wall and a firing siiua'l.-.-l'aker Herald.'
