In a recent leter to his mother Lou
Hoagland (excuse me, Sergeant Hong
land) tuild that tho Thirteenth Squad
ron was dally expecting orders to
leave for New York to join tho Rain
bow Division, thence to Frnnce.
Klamath County Is well represent-
ed in the Thirteenth Aero Squadron,
especially among Its non-commission
ed officers. Louis Hoagland, Joo Skel-
ton and Kmmott McCullom are top
sergeants, and Wm. Weeks Ih a cor
poral if. this squadron.
All of the boys are anxious to leave
for l.uropo. But as Hoagland says,
"Whllo we are nil anxious and Im-j

If tho boys of Klamath County end

with the same spirit that Is displayed
fiy the people of this community to
ward the Red Cress work, the pur
chase of Liberty bonds and the other
trifling requests for aid .made by the
government on those who remain
comfortably at home, about how long
would they hist before the ravenous
Prussian Huns? was the pertinent
aucry shot homo at a packed mass
meeting at Houston's opera house by
Prof. Irving K. Vinlng last night in
one of the most dramatic and soul
stlrlng addresses ever delivered from
a local ulatform.
There Is no doubt but that a talk ot

of Kiamnth pans from the lethargy In

mersed and brought to a realisation
that tho United states, Is now at war,

protection of the Stars and Stripes to
get In and do his share,

Will the people of this community
sign the food conservation pledge
cards that will be distributed thru
the school children next week? They
will.
That Is, if the spirit shown, by the
six hundred representative cltliens
who crowded the hall are any orl
terlun. "The time has now come to go over
tho top," said Professor Vinlng, and
the response, he received Indicated
that Klamath' Falls Is about -ready to
start to climb.

Apathy and General Indifference, the

also discouraged by the united States
food administration, and we are '
urged to cut down the amount used
for necessary purposes.
"We use In America an average of
ninety pounds of sugar per capita
each year. We could get along Just as
well and be better off, as far as health
Is concerned, with a great deal less,"
says W. B. Ayer, food administrator.
"The immediate cause of shortage
of sugar In the East Is the lateness of
the beet crip. Grinding Is about three
weeks behind in the principal sugar
beet states In the East and Middle
West, and It Is up to the Coast states
to share with these sections until
their sugar crop is-im-the market.
