. THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 9. 1917. ENEMY PROPAGANDA OPPOSESJMPAIGN Pledge Card Campaign Stories Are Result of Activities of Enemies and False, Says Food Administrator. ' "We have heafd that the people of Nebraska .are not patriotic," said State Food Administrator Wattles. "We are going to renounce that ac cusation when we get the returns of our food pledge campaign of October 21 to 28. Every effort will be made to get complete returns from the rural districts also, where we will have the school teachers working, sending cards home with the children to get them signed up." "The pledge is so planned that it adapts itself to the conditions in every home, and it is binding only in so far as circumstances in the home permit. "Pledging oneself to conserve foods does not mean that we will reduce so much the amounts of foods consumed, but that we will use the kinds which we can readily substitute for foods wmch are suitable to export. Those vh6 sign the pledge will from time to time receive from the government lit erature containing recipes and direc tions for making nutritious and palat able dishes out of things they had not thought of-using in that way before. The pledge involves no serious obliga tion tq the government. Government Don't Want Food. "Someone has started the story that if you sign the tard the govern ment will then come and take your . canned goods avay from you, and all tfiat kind of thing. That is the prop aganda of the enemy and is not true. You simply pledge yourself to help as fr as it is in your power by saving, and substituting in a large measure wholesome foods that cannot readily be exported for those which the gov ernment wants to export." . A state-wide convention of the ' state food administration workers is called for Omaha Thursday afternoon of this week. The meeting will be n. held either in the Brandeis theater or in the Hotel Fontenelle.- All the state executive committee, the sena torial district chairmen, the county, township and precinct chairmen are to be here. Definite brganization plans are to be gone over for the food pledge card campaign.

Coad of the big ci by the lakes and Conrskey park submitted to the city council a written ofter to sell a 3,000-acre coal field in Franklin countv. Illinois, for a consideration of $975,000. The proposal states that 2700 acres of this field are undeveloped and that the daily capacity is 2.500 tons. The municipal coal department is busy trying to locate cars of coal shipped ten days ago. Commissioner Butler hinted that there may have been some "pernicious activity," and if so, he intends to "get at the bottom of it." Exemption Board Rests; Next Quota Nearly Full The district exemption board took a vacation this morning after the strain of the past weeks', when it passed upon hundreds of claims for exemption the most of them made in person by the applicant, accom panied by wives who employed every means of persuasion known to femi ninity against the beleagured board. Tomorrow, however, they will be back on the job and ready to take up the business attending upon the se lection of the final 15 per cent of t!'e mentor Camp Funston. These wilt leave about October 20. "Most of these men are already chosen," said Chie." Clerk Sutton, speaking for the board today, "How ever, twenty-three -counties in the state will have to call in a few men apiece to fill the quQta. The one hiost short needs but twenty men, so that matter will be soon disposed of. "There wilt be a large amount of business to be wound up by the board, so none of the members expect a lengthy vacation for at least a month."
