The program will be an nounced elsewhere. At the request of The Herald, while in the city. Miss Sherwin sub mitted an article for our readers which will be of interest and VSlOfl to every housewife. The arttch is entitled "Conserving Food at Yttle tide" and reads as follows: "This is the time for America to cored her unpardonable fault of wastefulness and extravagance. Let every man and every woman assume the duty of careful, provident uie and expondit ureas a public duty, as a dictate of patriotism whicii no one can now expect ever to be excused or forgiven for ignoring. "WOODROW WILSON." Now at this Yuletldo, with the con ditions we are confronting, let us all do our part in helping this crisis out. Let us do it cheerfully, too, with se rious minds, but light hearts. It is a time of thinking and plan ning and tl,on thinking and planning some more. It is a cr.se of give, give, give and giving does not always mean to give money or service, but more often it means to give thought. The problem of fooil and clothing that confronts every housewife calls for thought. The way out is being shown here on every hand; newspaper, magazine and government are at her disposal to tell her how to do what she does not know. Every one is willing to help her but the action must be hers. It is the time for the American woman to put on her "thinking cap" and to put her home on a business basis and stop her wastefulness. We must save money, wo must consume less meat, wheat, fat and sugar, and we must be careful about the pre servation -of all kinds of food. We must buy economically, prepare care fully and avoid waste. Food is the ammunition that we women are called upon to supply. Economize seriously, for it is a separably attached to warfare. We want to live well both for the sake of comfort, health and this can be done only on economic basis. We as American people have been too extravagant. Try at this time to break this habit. Forget the feasting and overstocked extravagant Christmas table. Remember we are a warring nation. Americans have allowed their fondness for such a thing as sugar to increase to the point where it has passed extravagance and become ac tual waste. Our present sugar supply Is suffi cient for our own consumption 'only until the first of January. The United StateB food administration states that Americans have been us ing at the rate of 90 pounds per capita per year or 1 3-4 pounds a week.

CHARLES HAWK IS ON SWINE COMMITTEE Well Known Dawes County Man Ap- iK(intei as Member in Charge of I iuIi i Counties Charles S.

Mr. Hawk has been placed In charge of eight counties In this part of the state. i In taking up his duties Mr. Hawk has issued the following statement: It is with a feeling of pride that I may at this time announce to the public that I am one of the eighteen men in Nebraska chosen to assist in increased swine production. I am proud of it for the reason that I may beable to serve our country in some capacity at this time when every true American should do their best to help win a victory for democracy. The following counties have been allotted to me: Cherry, Sheridan, Dawes, Sioux, llox Butte, Thomas, Hooker and Orant. Every pork producer in this coun try has the opportunity to do their bit by increasing their pig crop next year, and in addition they have the assurance from the food administra tion that it will be profitable.

The amount of sugar can easily be lowered by giving preference to dishes winch contain a little sugar or with which sugar is not usually served; for instance fresh fruits, etc. instead of sweet puddings, or a salad in place of dessert. Sugar can also be saved by using sweet fruits, like dates, raisins or figs with breakfast cereals, or by using sirup in place of sugar.

We are going to call upon the pork producers to increase their output at least 2 0 per cent this year and we know they will do it. The American farmer is just as loyal to America as the German is to the Fatherland. The German farmer in the name of the Fatherland supports a nation two thirds as large as ours and threatens to Bubject the world from an area the size of Texas. We are sure to find this same de votion in the American farmer which will be a direct reply to the German farmer "and a master stroke for the world's democracy. In regard to the assurance given by the food administrators on the stability of prices we can only re mind you of the statement made last year that they would try to regu late prices of certain commodities and they did regulate lb II Si Is that not sufficient guarantee that they win regulate the price of pork next year. Joseph P. Cotton, chief of the U. S. food administration, meat di vision, issued the following state ment relative to the price of hogs: The main purposes of the food ad ministration as to hogs are four: To MS that the producer at al ltimes can count on a fair price for his hogs so that it will be profitable for him to raise them; to see that the farmer increases the number of hogs bred, to limit the profit of the packer and the mludleman and to eliminate speculation. We shall establish rigid control of the packer, thus assuring the farmer a reasonable profit on his bogs for the year 1918. A board composed of practical hog growers and ex perts say the best yard stick to meas ure the cost of production of the hog is the cost of corn. That board further advises that the ratio of corn prices to hog prices shall be thirteen to one, that is thirteen times the prlceof a bushel of No. 2 corn on the Chicago market shall be the price of 100 pounds of pork, as I understand it. If tho average priceof No. 2 corn is $ 1.50 per bushel, the price of pork would be 119.60 per hundred. Catarrhal Cough Mr. W. 8. Brown, It. F. D.
