FieW Glasses of
4 Omahans Used on
Navy Transport
A fine pair or fiwd glasses, formerly
the property ot Dr. ti. U sumney ot
Omaha, are now doing their bit as
triotism of the Omaha man.'
Uponj reading in, the newspapers
how necessary thesfe glasses were in
the navy, Dr. Sumney sevf ral months
) ago sent his to Franklin Ro6sevelt,
i assistant secretary of the navy. A
card Dinned to the box eave the send
er's name, and "imagine Dr. Sumney's
delight and surprise to receive this
note the other day:
"It may interest Dr. Sumney to
. know that his most excellent glasses
are being used by the gunnery officer
of a United States naval transport
" and so aiding in the safe delivery of
our troops-jn France.
. "Signed.
' "LIEUTENANT COMMANDER D.
T. HUNTER, U. S. N."v
The genial doctor was wont to spy
out big game on his hunting trips and
many an unsuspecting deer grazing
on the hillside met a sudden end be
cause of these same glasses, and now,
think what good they will do in the
i hands of a naval dffie'er, standing on
the deck of a transport, hunting far
deadlier game than deer. "'
There are no doubt a large number
of field gJassesV lying unused in as
many drawers in Omaha homes. We
know of one woman who has very
' good pair, which she values because
they were a prized possession of her
husband's, now dead. Every once in
..a while she takes them out, prepara
tory to sending them to Uncle Sam.
j Her heart fails her at .the last momen t,
' however, and back they go into their
. box. Some day, she says, she will
give them to Uncle Sam. Who
wouldn't, be more than glad to assist
in the safe, delivery of our boys in
' France?

Urged to Produce
and Save Food

stand with our backs to the wall."
That call to the civilized world made
by General Haig is being answered by

the women or tne civmzea worm,
Charles Lathrop Pack, president of
the National War Garden commission
sf Washington, told members ot the
General Federation of Women's Clubs
in session here today.
"Women have been leaders in thrift.
' The women of France astonished the
world when they helped pay off the
debt following the Franco-Prussian
war. In this war food and thrift go
hand in hand. We must all set our
minds to winning this war. The vic
tory will be brought about if we hav$
the ability to grow food and to save
it. To the glory of England the
'chow' for the men in the trenchea
goes into them whether it is quiet or a
raining hell of . shells is falling in a
sector.
"Our boyj musi get the same serv
ice. They are giving their lives; must
they be allowed to worry whether
food is tomir.g to them or not? How
are -you goirg to answer that ques
tion? The snswer is food as close
to the kitchen door as possible. Plant
it, can it, dry it for the Hun hungers,
and if you do not help to feed your
self you will help feed the Hun when
he gets a strangle hold upon the re
sources of ihe world.
"When you leave this annual pieet-
. ing will you not carry the message of
food production and food saving
wherever you go? The National War
Garden commission will send you free
instruction in either oboth.. It will
suggest how to organize for com
munity work in canning and drying.
.You can help win this war right in
your own home.
