KLAMATH'S CHANCE
IT
The Untied States Government thru Food Administrator Herbert
Hoover, Is calling this week for co-operation from every loyal citizen In the
Nation.
It is calling for aid in n movement which no one can have any legiti
mate excuse for not heeding. There may be many good and sufficient re,
out why we are not yet training for the trenches. There are perhaps
numbers of us who do not And It possible to purchase liberty bond, no
matter how much we might have wished to do so. Home, It may be, liave

with the Red Cross movement.
This i a matter, however, In which no call 1 made upon the nuance
of the people lay any way, or which will demand any noticeable time. It Is '
request which will benefit directly the finance of all who follow It, as
the supplies asked conserved are anung the more costly of tlie nation's
foods.
A person' desire to back the good old Mar Spangled Banner can be
accurately gusged by the way he or s'te responds to these simple demands,
"fcl are calculated as a swift uppercut to that smug mustachedmug of

If the route Is established as recom

main road to Merrill lying between

It Is a triangular tract about ten

100 families as residents. The route

the residents of Mills Addition, add
ing fifty more families to the service.
Postmaster Delzell has worked per
sistently to get this route established,
