In this period of national crisis when the obliga tion to feed a considerable portion of the population of the world rests upon our country, when our people are asked to eat less that our allies may eat more, the question of pure food takes on an added importance and significance. " To impress these facts upon all concerned, I, as Governor of Nebraska, designate the week beginning March 9th, as Pure Fpod Week, and bespeak for the Pure Food Department of the State Government the hearty co-operation of the people of Nebraska, to the end that the Department will be the better able to pro tect the health of our people and incidentally render more efficient and effective assistance to the govern ment in the winning of the war.

OMAHA PASTORS WILL MAKE PLEA FOR ARMENIANS Drive for Funds Will Be Started in Churches; Omaha's Quota is $60,000. "If Omaht only knew the story." This is the wish, the prayer, the mem bers themselves say, of all who be long to the local organization seek ing relief money for starving Ar menian and Syrian children. The lo cal committee will conduct a cam paign this week to raise $45,000 yet remaining of Omaha's auota of $60.- 000. All last week incessant committee meetings were held, drives for solici tors .were planned and this morning in the churches of the city the minis ters will launch the drive. It is not a church drive, but one for every per son who has the interests of human ity at heart, say members .of the com mittee. - "It is not a campaign for money; it is a campaign to save lives," the lead ers say. "Seventeen cents a day, $5 a month, $60 a year, will save a life. We will not ask 'How much will you subscribe,' tut we will ask, 'How many lives will you save.' " Eat Grass Roots. ,E. A. Benson, talking informally to a group of friends, declared the diffi culty in raising the funds was due to lack of information. "People are in clined to look upon it asa foreign missionary xharity, when it isn't at all," said he. "People are starving; children, having eaten the roots of grass and tiic uncooked grass itself, are dyiri$ hourly in the utmost mis ery. While wehave been talking here not less than two of these miserable little babies have gone into the great beyond. "And they can expect no help from anyone except America. The Ameri can committee, aided by the Red Cross, which cannot do the work it self, has direct connection with the persecuted peoples through the Switzerland diplomatic offices and it has workers right in the field who attend to administering the funds. "We are not working to aid animal, like savages or heathen, but a culti vated, intellectual, refined Christian people who are the helpless victims of one of the greatest combinations of murderous militarism and racial ha tred the world has ever known. Hun dreds of thousands are dead and hun dreds of thousands are dying unless we help." Depend on America. Everybody has a superficial knowl edge of the terrible conditions under which these enlightened people are dying like flies in the terror land ruled by the power of Islam, the commit tee believes, but the difficulty is Deo- Lple have not stopped to think how. airecny tnat reacnes tnem. "In the Omaha newspapers this week have appeared two articles tell ing of new massacres and torture in Armenia," said one worker. "The news items were brief it doesn't take half a page to tell even of a great tragedy like that but they were read by thousands of Omaha people. These people did not stop to think that be hind these brief stories are worlds of suffering, of starvation and agoniz ing death that none but America, with Omaha doing its share, can save." Untold Suffering. The story of Armenia, with its di rect appeal to Omaha this week, is told in this brief summary furnished by the American committee for Ar menian and Syrian relief: "At least 1,000,000 Armenians and Syrians have been killed, forced into Islam, have perished on the way to exile or been deported to northern Arabia. These helpless, hopeless ref ugees were forced out from their homes with little preparation for the journey and with no shelter from the storms or protection from the cold or heat. A man following one of these caravans for 25 miles reported to a United States consul that he counted over 500 dead bodies on the road, i ' "A trying need comes from the 400,000 orphans who havt survived the deportation. Many of them are so small that they do not know how to feed themselves properly. They sleep atone in the dark, sobbing from hunger and fright and loneliness. The majority are girls, and why? Because girls can endure physical suffering better than boys. But in many cases the boys gave their last crumb to the girls and starved to death themselves. "Refugees are located in broken down houses, damp sheds, stalls and stables, . where sickness is unavoid able for them, where the famished family lies upon the cold, damp earth, without any heat whatever. If this condition continues, half the refugees will die. Many are dying of hunger on the highways and in the woods, where they go seeking grass and weeds, but find the ground barren, the locusts having consumed all vegeta tion." , U. S. Individuality to Be Big Product of Great War Paris, Friday, Mirch 8. The war will complete the development of the national individuality of the United States is the conviction expressed by Dr. M. R. Vesnitch, head of the Ser bian mission to the United States, in a statement given to the Petit Pari jien. That, he said, would be the most positive and' most fortunate re sult of the struggle, and civilization throughout the habitable world would profit by it Leighton Bonnor Sentenced ; For Passing Worthless Checks Leighton Bonnor was sentenced to pay a fine of $200 and to pass from one to two years in the penitentiary by Judge Redick in district court He was convicted of passing a check to the T. L. Combs Jewelry company for $200 for which he had insufficient funds in the bank. Leighton gave the check for a diamond. He was ar rested a short time ago in Salt Lake City and brousht to Omaha for trial.
