PERSHING IS ONE
WHO REALIZES
FARMERSEFFORT
C. W. Pugsleyy In Writing of
A. E. F. Chief, Declares He
Appreciates Their Results
Obtained During War. ,
In an editorial in "The Nebraska
Farmer," C. W. Pugsley says:
"On another page will be found a
statement by Gen. John J. Pershing
"' in which he attaches great im
portance to the work of the farmer
, during the war. He calls attention
to the fact that the war could not
have been won without food and
that food could not have been fur
nished without the American farmer.
"The fafmer has often wondered
whether his efforts, during the days
of the war were accomplishing what
bo hoped they would. Ihe state
ment of General - Pershing need
leave no doubt in hii mind. Through
the extra efforts he put forth in the
fact of treat handicaps he enabled
the American army and the armies
of the allies to win the war. Gen
eral Pershing aays ao and General
Pershing knows, for he is he man
who had the task immediately in
hand.
Farmer Have Complained.
During the last few years the
farmer has often been sick at
heart. He sent, his sons to fight,
his farm labor went into munition
factories and shipyards, his wife
gave up all the duties of house
keeping except those absolutely es
sential, denned overalls and took
her place bside her husband in the
fields. The younger children often
stayed, out of school to do such
tasks as they could. The farmer's
customary hours, from sunrise to
sunset, which his government asked
of him, .were not even sufficient.
"The prices of farm machinery,
twine, harness, and all of the mate
rials the farmer bought, went sky
ward. To make the bacon and beef
the soldiers needed, the farmer pur
chased feeders on the open market
at a high price and often sold his
fat stock at a great loss, as many
depleted fortunes will tell. The hot
winrle rami, rain rmfttemA n
the winters killed his wheat, and
often at the end of the season he
found himself in possession of only
a partial crop. .
All for Pershing. v
"And then because prices were
high on farm products, though not
as high as on: other articles, the
farmer was accused of being a
profiteer. When he, bought he paid
what other people asked. When he
sold he took what they gave. He
fixed not a single price himself. One
could not blame him for becoming
discouraged after -doubling his
hours of work, increasing the bur
dens of his wife and children and
giving his products to his govern
ment at whatever price the govern
ment set. Is it any wonder he re-
sented the cry of 'profiteer?'
"But he kept on producing. H
1 t- 1 : - t? it .
anew ins uuys 211 nance cuuiu uui
live and fight without food. He
knew that the war could not be won
without it and he knew, beyond a
question of a doubt, that he wanted
the war won. Therefore he stuck.
"And now comes General Per
shing, the man 'who knows, with
acknowledgment of the farmer's
part and grateful thanks" to him."

Excitement prevails at German

Catholic Clergy of
Argentine Campaign
Against Women's Dress
. Rio Janeiro, Feb. 28. A campaign
against prevailing modes in femenine
attire in large cities of Brazil, has
been inaugurated by the Catholic
clergy. . .
One bishop recently advised his
clergy to deny communion to those
who present themselves unsuitably
attired, while an archbishop has
made the exaggeration of fashions
the subject of a pastoral letter.
Monsignor Maxiamino Leite, the
vicar general, declared there was an
excess of nudity in feminine gar
ments profoundly dangerous to
morals. The heat of the climate,
he said, was made the pretex for
lamentable excesses. '

It isn't pleasant but we can't
escape it. Unless I can reach and
impress you in this 'way we cannot
get food, and they. die. Are we go
ing to turn our backs on them be
cause their skeleton frames, the
skin stretched over their bones, their
starving expressions are unsightly?
No, a thousand times no it is un
thinkable. They are the same God
given babies to be found in most
homes. It is some mother's child.
Perhaps the mother never came
back after fleeing from the damn
able Turk. There are thousands of
these little ones who cannot say
"father, mother, home;" other
thousands with anguished mothers
helpless to save them. The war
over, they came back to their own
country, to desolation and despair,
homeless, hungry, diseased. The
horror and suffering of it all is be
yond description. If you have any
doubts, let one of our Omaha girls,
Miss Jean Butter, who was in the
midst of it, talk to you. She will
tell you, not a picture shown, not
a statement made, is exaggerated!
There are sufficient sympathetic
hearts in Omaha to provide our ap
portionment of a 'careful general
survey that has fixed the amount
necessary to bring these deserving
people back to self-support, and
they are deserving, for remember
they, cast, their lot in with the. allies
regardless of promises, made by our
enemies, of power and territory it
theyvwould desert. Their army or
250,000 soldiers held back the Turks
at a critical time after the Russian
collapse, providing a smaller but
similar defense comparable to that
of Belgium early in the war.
But the important part of this
story is to explain why a faithful
committee that is exerting itself,
cannot reach the masses. War drives,
soliciting campaigns, tag days, sys
tematic, canvassing after districting
the city all of, these have pre
vailed to such an extent as to pre
vent, by these methods, our reach
ing those whom we know are anx
ious to help. It is "a physical im
possibility to make a personal call.
Could this be done; could we show
.you changes in these emaciated
people after American food has
reached them; could you hear them
repeat at each meal which we pro
vide them "Blessed should be the
names of those who give us these
things;" could you get the personal
touch that comes in so many ways,
your action would be prompt and
your satisfaction supreme.
Those actively engaged can only
give so much of their time and the
coming week 'concludes our activi
ties. We are going to put roses
in some cheeks, cushions on some
bones, blood tn the veins of some
of those babies over there, thou
sands of miles away. We can do it
to all with just a little more help.
In , conclusion, every dollar you
send, every dollar you induce some
one else to send to our NEAR EAST
RELIEF COMMITTEE, 101 Bee
BIdg., John C. Wharton, Treasurer,
provides food to go into those
emBy stomachs. Some will live be.
cause .we reach them; some will die
because we could not provide for
them. It's up to you.
Hopefully Yours,
CHARLES T. NFAL.
