WEST STATER WOULD
DSE UNBROKEN LAND
Suggests to Governor That
Owners Turn It Over to State
Which Will Bring in Reli
able Persons to Till It.
Alliance, Neb., Jan. 16. (Special.)
The following letter has been sent
to Governor Neville by W. D. Fisher,
secretary of the Nebraska Associa
tion of Commercial clubs:
If the suggestions contained in
Mr. Fisher's letter be carried out and
agreed to by the owners of the un
broken land in the state, it will mean
an increase of help to harvest Ne
braska crops, an increase of the
tilled acreage of the state and an in
crease of Nebraska's already sub
stantial "bit" in the war savings
campaign. The secretary says there
are 100,000 acres of this land in Ne
braska, He said:
"Why wouldn't it be a good idea
to appoint a special committee to ar
range with the owners of the land to
turn their land pvtr to the state for
a period of say two years or for the
duration of the war, then have the
board advertise this in the proper
manner and offer the land free to
reliable persons with the understand
ing that all of the land is to be culti
vated. "Without any doubt this will be
the mean's of bringing additional
farmers into our atate, farmers who
haven't sufficient capital to pay the
ordinary rental price will be given a
chance to make good, land will be
tilled that has never been cultivated
before and if a complete report is de
manded from every person operating
one vi uicsc iirmi, i am quite sure
tnat it will shpw that Nebraska will
increase her food production thou
sands of dollars and hundreds of
families will be able to do their bit
in helping to win the. war,, while un
der present conditions this is impos
sible." . ,.. , f .

Food Administrator Wattles
Tells Home Economics De
partment What Littl Sav
ings Can Accomplish.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Jan. 16. (Special Tele
gram.) Nebraska's wonderful pro
ductivity and the ability of the state to
supply foodstuffs were the main facts
brought out by Gurdon W, Wattles,
federal food administrator here today
in an address before the Nebraska
Home Economics' association.
Mr. Wattles presented figures show
ing that the total value of fundamental
food produced in the state the last
year was $813,543,055 and that for
every man, woman and child in the
state, Nebraska produced 700 pounds
of meats, 647 pounds of flour, 112
pounds of sugar, and 767 pounds of
potatoes.
"With our wasteful habits, the aver
age consumption of flour per capita is
246 pounds annually; of meats 150
pounds annually, and of sugar 88.8
pounds annually," said Mr. Wattles.
'If we did not economize at all and
continued these habits, we would have
enough left to feed flour to 2.000,000
others, meats to 4,500,000 and sugar
for 257,000 others."
".But if we follow the suggestions
of the food administration and Con
sume four pounds of flour per week
instead of "about five; 130 -pounds of
meat instead of 150, and 36 pounds
of sugar instead of 88.8 we can fur
nish in addition to the above figures,
the equivalent of 791,666 bushels of
wheat. 25,000,000 pounds of meat, and
66,000,000 pounds of sugar,"
"Not only can we furnish this huge
amount which will sustain life for
thousands and thousands of boys in
the trenches, but we can do it and live
well at home. But remember we can
send across the water only what we
do not eat. All available foodstuffs
had been sent across November 1."
Julia Vance of Lincoln, Prof. C. W.
Tugsley of the state farm, and Mary
E. Rokaha of Lincoln led in the dis
cussion of the conservation problem.
In the afternoon the subject was again
taken up and Alice Howell of Lincoln.
Mrs. W. H. Deming of Fairmont and
others carried on the discussion. The
session closed with an address by Mrs.
Emma Reed Davisson of Washington.

The man or woman who buys only one $5.00 War Sav
Ings Stamp when he or she is able tp buy twenty stamps is not
doing his or her duty in this war-time effort
Every man, woman, boy' and girl wfio feceiveis a wage of
more than $10.00 pef week can easily, afford to , buy more
than one stamp and ought to be able to buy at least one
stamp each monjth.
To make it easy for those who can buy more than one
stamp, a payment plan has been devised by the committee so
that automatically each month one or more stamps will be de
liyered'to you and you can pay either the committee or your
employer (preferably the. latter).
. ..To buy $100 worth of War Savings Stamps means that
you must save for ten months only $8.24 to $8.42 each, month.
Sorely any of us can- save -that' much. ;; :At' the end of ten
months you will.have paid the whole amount, $83.30, and you
have an investment worth $100.00 on January 1, 1923.
This is a good plan for more reasons than one. First,
it helps your government to wallop the Kaiser and his kit of
pirates. Second, it is a profitable investment for you. . Third,
and most important, by obligating yourself for. ten months to
save a certain amount each month, you acquire the habit of
putting aside a little out of each month's pay. That makes you
thrifty it gives you an increased amount of respect for your
self. , It makes you feel better all around.
You can easily make arrangements with your employer to
: deduct from your pay check each month the amount neces
sary to pay for your stamp,
and he will deliver the stamp to
you each time. This is the most
convenient way for you and for
everybody concerned..
When you buy $100 worth of War Savings Stamps, you are
doing little enough for your government.
You are even now not doing without anything to speak of.
You still smoke as much as usual if you are a man, You still
eat as much candy as ever if you are a woman or girl. . You
go to just as many "movies' have just as many comforts and
enjoyments as you ever did.'
YOU
THING?"
ARE NOT r YET DENYING YOURSELF ANY-
So, think this over, then ask
for a "yellow" eard and sign
"your name, agreeing to take
$100.00 worth of stamps, at the
rate of one each month for ten
.months. The committee will
send you the card to sign if you
will write us or call us up.

You are not denying yourself not" making sacrifices
when self-denial and sacrifice are imperative if we are io win
this war?
. . .
The men who have gone into training and into the trenches
to do the fighting for you are sacrificing everything they have.
They have given up careers. They have, thrown over good
businesses which they have spent yeas in building up. They
are throwing up good paying jobs and chances for promotion
in civil life. They have separated themselves for months,, per
haps years, from home, family and everything that is dear to
them.
They are ready to stand a lonely vigil in cold, rain and
snow for the sake of Liberty. They are ready to face death
dozens of times each day.
And WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO DO? What are
YOU willing to give up to see that they do not lack the MEANS
of making their sacrifices worth while? Are you so hard-boiled
thai you can take things easy
back here out of . danger and
never, give a thought to what
YOU must do in return for the
privilege of - staying at home
with your family?
