erty Bond Drive.
Postponement of the food pledge
card campaign is announced from the
office of Food Administrator Wattles.
The campaign is postponed for one

The action was the result of a re

occupying so much attention at this
time.
President's Letter to Hoover.
The president's letter follows:
"The exigencies of the treasury
have required setting the final week
of the Liberty loan campaign during
the periow of October 21 to 28. This
I understand brings it into the same
week us the food conservatio plcdg"! j
campaign, it seems to me undes.r
. able in the interest of both these capi-
isi ",.::r3 mat l .a eaould occur,
under ,ese circumstances, therefore
I would be lc thcpledr. cam

tnat is, until Uctober 28 to Novem
ber 4. In asking this alteration of
the plans of yourself and your associ
ations, I shoild like to take this oc
, casion to impress upon them that
I in no way underrate the importance
ot their eitort It we are to su
our allies with the necessary food
and are to -reduce our own prices of
foodstuffs during the coming winter,
it can only be accomplished by the
utmost self-denial and service on the
part of all our people through the
elimination of waste and by rigid
economy tn tne .use ot tood,
, "Therefore, I would be glad it you
wouia convey to an ot our start

j of the prime importance of their
' plans and their work. I wish particu
larly to express my great apprecia
tion of the service which this addi
jtional tax on their time will impose
tipon the ma" thousand volunteers
'who have already deferred their own
j concerns to public interest in this
important work. .1 ask them not to

Union Pacific Plans
Bluffs Improvements
To Cost Big Sum
A new forty-stall roundhouse, ma
chine shop, power plant and coaling
station, freight trackage and other im
provements at the Union Pacific ter
minal in Council Bluffs, to the value
of more than $2,000,000, are on the
Union Pacific construction program
for the coming year
The trackage will occupy a lartre
area south of the present Union Pa
cific transfer yards which would
necessitate the reclaiming of the
swampjr lowlands in that district. Silt
from the Missouri river was used in
the reclamation of the shop yards and
the same procedure is contemplated
in this case. '
Details of the terminal work will be
made public when Judge R. S. Lovett,
chairman of the Union Pacific board,
comes to Omaha next week. ,

ner. I thank you for the kind con
sideration you have shown the state
board members and your desire for a
real spirit ot co-operation.

tne organization of an interstate fair
at Omaha, with dates to be approved

interstate fair th success I believe it
will attaiq under the directorship of
Messrs. Creigl.ton, Brandeis, Nash,
