TKere is a new page in "Uncle Sam's Notebook" headed Conservation, and it carries various subheads such as Food, Clothing, Health, Time, and the like. Here, you will admit, is a task to which the women of America must now give their most intelligent and constructive thought. Somewhere recently the writer saw an old New England slogan which read, "eat it up; wear it out; jnake it do." That slogan might well hang on the Walls of all our homes in this crisis; in different words it means, simply, "do not waste any food; do not relegate to some dark corner of your closet, clothing which, with a little repair, can still be worn; do not rush to buy new household furnishings just because the defense worker in your family has now a good salary. . • FOpD AND CLOTHING If American families are to follow a thrifty, conservative regime of this sort the burden of its planning and execution will rest heavily upon the women, since it is they who dispense the greater part of the national income. Theodore Roosevelt said in one of his famous speeches that social and economic gains are the result not only of "collar work" but also of "breeching work," and it will be breeching work, in great part, which housewives will have to do if families of up-and-coming Americans are to be induced to "eat it up; wear it out; make it do." "EAT IT UP" , * The conservational sub • heads mentioned above -- food, clothing, health, time, etc., are, however, inextricably linked, and in the process of conserving food and clothing women must also conserve both health and time. That is why the job involves constructive and intelligent thought. Left-over foods can be made attractive and palatable and used up so closely that practically nothing will go into the garbage can, but the necessity of serving balanced meals must never be lost sight of. It requires something close to legerdemain to use all left-over food, provide adequate meals for the entire family, and still stay within the limits of a war-time budget. A bulletin called "Diets to fit the family income" is available from the U. S. department of agriculture, (send five cents to Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C., and ask for Farmers' Bulletin No. 1757) which wi}| be of great service to housewives in this important task. It contains planned menus for a week at a time, tables for weekly market lists, diet plans showing the groups of protective foods, and much other information of value. "WEAR IT OUT" It is "something else again" to induce the average family to espouse that part of our slogan which says "wear it out," since everyone likes to have something new and modish to wear. To make acceptable use of clothing that is no longer new involves careful cleaning and skillful remodeling, plus an accurate appreciation of color and design. In most of our large cities and many smaller ones special day and evening classes for adults offer free courses of study in these fields, of which housewives will do well to take advantage. It must be kept in mind that shabby or soiled or definitely outmoded clothing tends to lower the wearer's morale. It is a heavy task which devolves upon American women to keep their families well and smartly dressed in yesterday's wardrobes. It is obvious that the stricter-thanusual conservation of food and clothing must involve a new expenditure of time on the part of housewives. This in turn should mean a careful budgeting of time for the entire family. The free human spirit dislikes restrictions of all sorts and very few families or individuals ever actually budget their time, but in this war-time crisis "time is of the essence" and should be conserved just as conscientiously as is any other national resource. It seems advisable that families should be induced to rise and breakfast at a stated time; that each member should do allotted tasks, also at stated times; and that late hours j should be discouraged in the interest both of health and of time-saving. How about it, housewives all? Are you game to work with Uncle Sam in making his conservation plans effective? Tor information in all Beldt oi conservation, •write to Superintendent oi Document*. Washington. D. C., askhtt for fret lists oi bulletins mvailabie. Speciiy ffcr Helds in which fou are ititererted. • • • LOCATING FARM BUILDING8 If you are just considering where to locate your farm buildings, you will do well to keep in mind five important points: namely, (1) access to the highway; (2) protection from prevailing winds; (3) possibility of adequate drainage; (4) adequate water supply; (5) outlook. • • • DEMAND FOR URAFT HORSES A reprint from the Yearbook of Agriculture states that prices for both draft horses and mules have increased slightly within recent years. INTERESTING NEARBY NEWS . ' " i Unidentifed dogs south of Burlington have resumed their habit of killing and molesting sheep on farms near town. A sheep on the Edward Schaal farm was killed and several others were injured during the past week. The marauding dogs have beea at work for three years, and all efforts to track them down have failed. William Powell, 59, a blind man, 422 .West Locust street, Belvidere, re- | mains in a critical condition at the St. | Joseph hospital, Belvidere, following j injuries received on Saturday night, j May 23, when he made a misstep and I plunged down a flight of steps in j front of the Dougherty drug store. In j his fall down the stairs, he struck the j pavement at the bottom with his head, : fracturing his skull and knocking him ! unconscious. Powell has made his liv- | ing for years by playing a radio or | phonograph on the streets in Belvijdere and neighboring towns. i Steve Kroll, proprietor of a service | station at South Milwaukee avenue and Rockland road, thinks that someone in 'this vicinity was in desperate need of a new tire, or was in need until Tuesday night, May 26, when he broke into Steve's place and carried off a brand new 600.16" casing, the only one » he had in stock. An examination showed that the thief had pried open a window on the north side of the building and had evidently made his entrance and exit through that opening. Numerous tubes and auto accessories were in the building but were not disturbed, the intruder evidently having eyes for nothing but that priceless tire. Four happy girls, all members of the Harvard Community high school, and each typical of American youth today, were presented as winners of the Harvard Victory Girl contest at the public patriotic program held May 27. Winner of the $50 war bond offered by co-operating merchants was Miss Marijule Bombard and in secondplace was Miss Marietta Leonard. A young lady from a rural community. Miss Evelyn Block, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Block, captured third place with a sudden spurt in votes the last two weeks. The sole representative of the city of Harvard among the four winners was Miss Florence Kennedy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. , Louis Kennedy, and a sister of Harold Kennedy, a member of the U. S. navy stationed at San Diego. Miss Kennedy was one of the.four leaden . throughout the entire contest. Spruce Wood Most Versatile Spruce is the most versatile wood in this country.
