7 More than passing attention, is
required of the efforts to (.'unserve
food, and especially wheat flour. A
deeper realization of the necessities
of the situation noods to be Impress
ed. It is an absolute necessity to
furnish every pound of flour to the
armies and allies until another crop
comes, and that is the whole story. '
ONo one can find fault for a minute ,
with all the various war activities
that engage the energies of (he peo-' J
pie, and .especially the women. ' It
' may be that all are doing what they
' cifn irf other lines of supply. If they
are not also doing their , honest and
patriotic share in the food matter,
however industrious thoy may be in
other lines, the soldier boys in
; France are hot getting the: full sup
port they now so seriously need. ,
: This is not to be taken as p.criti-
: ciam. There wero hundreds; of
households ' which have been on al
most the limit of conservation all
'along. Those. who are . not ' in , that
lino now are short of the patriotic
duty if there are any such. ,
The important and sincere phase
of the matter is: Are each and all
doing all thoy can and then some to
tide over this critical period when the
American armies in France and the
armies of the allies must be sustain
cd, regardless of . the temporary in
convenience that may be incurred at
home. ., ' . y
Jt is u matter which each knows
fur himself or herself , whether the
full and patriotic duty is being done.
John Fleming, an Idealistic law
yer believes that his relationship to
bis clients is almost, sacred and
that he must do
to further the Interests
even though doing so means great
personal sacrifices. This Ideal leads
Fleming Into an extraordinary pre
dicament. He Is forced to drag his
wife Into a sensational ease and It
Is only In a surprising and wholly
unexpected manner that a way out
of the tangle Is found. . Montagu

tion. '
This year's contest Is only a be
ginning, and Includes flowers from
now until the end of June. The

ers' "Western Flower . Guide."
Another prize: Reed's "Western
Bird Guide" will be given for the
greatest number of unique speci
mens, flowerB that no one else finds.
Contestants must have been In
school within two years, and must
not have entered the high school.
Flowers must be left with' the
librarian during library hours, and
children should wait to be credited
with what thoy bring. In.
There must be enough of the
plant to show its complete charac
ter. If possible the root should be
Included, but if the plant is rare, or
the root Is large, do not dlg.lt' up.

there are any, but seeds alone will
not count In the contest. Remember
where you found tho plant. "
