A MERICAN families would have leas sugar than the
people of war torn France, if we depended entirely
on our home-grown sugar stocks.
Approximately 75 per cent, of our sugar is shipped
to our shores. We produce about 1,000,000 tons of sugar
a year. Our imports from abroad amount to over 3,000,-
000 tuns a year in normal times.
The United States Food Administration asks oacr
familv to limit its use of sugar to two pounds per month
per person for household use. The military situation de-
mands that every available ship be placed at the disposal
of the Army or Navy. When we save sugar, we save
slipping.

Printed by the Tribunel
Back of the fine euccese of the re-
cent drive for the S&lvafton Army
War Service Fund was the Impulse
and purpose of an artilleryman who
went to Franca with the first Per.
thing forces In 1917—that the great
work the Salvation Army was doing
for him and his fellow soldiers must
have ita proper recognition and sup-
port by the peopie back home. Over
and over again her and his fellows
benefitted by the work of that great
organisation; over and over again
they found Ita workers eagerly,
cheerfully and courageously spending
themselves in service for the men in
tbe ranks through the day and
through the night. In times and pla-
ces which gave to such service a
peculiar and tremendous' value in sus-
taining the.morale of the men.
This spldier has been there, where
"at night the troubled earth between
the lines ie carpeted with pain";
where "death rides whistling In ev-
ery wind,” and where ‘‘the very
mists are charged with awful tor-
ment.” He knew the awful pull
against a fellow’s manhood—In the
alow, tedious hours of trench duty
amid foul mire, and vermin, and cold
and wet, and the nerve-racking crash
and concussion of high explosives.
And he knew how nearly heavenly
it seemed, on coming—mired, cold,
weary and sometimes nearly mad—
from that hell of trench duty, to find
the simple, earnest men, or the pure,
homey women or girls of the Salva-
tion Army right there with a cheery
word, and the yet more cheery deed
of hot coffee or cocci, or doughnuts
or pies or sand vicltes.
And In the days off from trench
duty, how the deft fingers of those
wholesome women, as they plied
needle end thread mending tbe rent
jacket, or trouser, or sock, or tewed
ou a missing button, proved a magic
telescope leua piercing through dis-
tance and time, bringing up vividly
those other facet and hands of moth-
er, or sf6ter, or wife, and making
more precious than ever the home
t es. And in simple thankfulness,
there formed in that soldier lad's
heart the purpose that the folks back
home should know of the service he
and his fellow workers were getting
from the Salvation Army workers,
and should generously support that
service.
And over and over again as this
soldier wrote to his home folks, earn:;
the story and testimony concerning
the work of the Salvationists, and
his urgent, reiterated plea for aid
for It. And In tbe head and heart of
the hard-headed and successful man
to whom he wrote—a man who for-
merly had only seen Ita work to
criticise—was planted a virile genu
of sympathy and interest for the Sal-
vation Army.
before the days when Irvin Cobb
end other peers of the quill challeng-
ed the attention of the nation to the
wonderful work of that organisation,
g quiet, unassuming Pennsylvanian,
with wide and successful experience
as a campaign organiser, came to
Houston at the command of Briga-
dier George Wood and Commissioner
Bstfil, but between the quite general
feeling among many business and
professional men then that its work
was duplicating the Y. M. C. A and
similar organisations, and the lack
of definite knowledge or convincing
testimony at to tbe extent and qual
ity of the service of the Salvation
Amy, he found it pretty nearly tm
possible to enlist 'he orgnnlz&t or
necessary to make a campaign sue
cessful, and was just about ready to
conclude lie had undertaken a hope,
lets task.
Finally, In a conference with th#
loader of another great war service
drive, he learned of the business men
referred to above. And he found
that the perm planted by that soldier
In France had become a full-grown
convVtion that the Salvation Army's
work deserved generous recognition
and aid, also an equally atrong pur-
pose that this city should do her
■hare. Through his personal kelp
and counsel other leaders were in-
terested: In ever widening and In-
tensifying circles the Interest grew,
and an effective organisation was en-
listed. Houston's citizens, end those
throughout tbe county, were given
the opportunity to help our soldlera

responded so heartily and generously
MAI. ATKWS GOES
“OVER IK TOT
WITH MAJOR ROOSEVELT, SAL.
VATIONIST LEADS AMERICANS
IN CHARGE ON HUN FOES.
A terrific American barrage had
been laid down on the. Hun trenches.
The American boys were on tho fir-
ing step, waiting for the sero hour,
rifle in hand, grim determination on
their faces and eyes glued on the
boche's trenches.
•'Going up?**
"Sure!”
"Bully!”
The querton was asked liy Major
Theodore Roosevelt Jr. of his chap-
lain. Major John E. Atkina, of the
Salvation Army, just before they
went over the top somewhere in the
Tout sector. And across “No Man's
Land" the former president's son and
tl.e "little major * went loading the
former’s balallion.
Major Atkins, who has Just arriv-
ed home In Chicago from the front
for a brief stay to help force to the
attention of the West the great need
of Immediate raising of the Salva-
tionist Overseas Fund, told about tho
incident in an Interview. Back from
administering physical comfort and
spiritual sustenance to the boye, he
still blinks his eyes constantly from
the shock of the shell fire, but as he
aays he “bankers for bis boys" and is
anxious to get back.
Of the Roosevelt boys he had much
to aay. He told of Captain Archie
being wounded.
"There he was." he said, "sorely
wounded, but refusing all medical
aid until every one of his men had
been cared for. That doesn't sound
much like the action of one of the
Kalaer’s plentiful sons. But it's the
American boy for you. That’s, the
kiud of a man wo'd follow to the
death If need he. and most of our
men are of the same stamp. Their
courage, strength, and initiative are
second to none. It is a privilege to
work for them and to feel that you
can be of some help.”

Thousands of patriotic young Ameri-
cans have enlisted in our army and navy
They have enlisted to FIGHT; not to
desert. Every American who buys a
Liberty Bond should buv it to hold, not
to sell or trade it. Only by fighting can
our soldiers win the war. Only by hold-
ing our bonds can our citizens make war
finance successful. Take this warning
to yourself as a perior al matter. Preach
it to your neighbor. Practice it in your
business. HOLD YOUR LIBERTY
BONDS AND HELP WIN THE WAR.
