Ydu Can Keep Old Glory Waving If You Keep These Trucks Moving
BELLMORE
GATHER AROUND ME, CHILDREN.
By AUQU8TIN McNALLY
It is exceptionslly unusual to find in a small village two persons livinffr near to each other, having the aanws name and beingwcngajtsd in practical¬ ly th^ same pursuit*, hut Belhnore ran claim this distinction. There are two men named John .lackson Bede.l h^re. One nas lived here all his life, and the other came from Ocean Side. The original John Jaok.^on Bedell is of light complexion and or mediuhi build. Roth are about merlium height, although the original John is a few inche.s taler. The two Redell.^ live no;ir each other, are farmers by vo¬ cation and have no end of trouble in keeping their affair? from complica¬ tion. Their mail and telephone calls TPt mixed, jury notirei^ intended for one are served on the other, and in legal matter:^ thej ^ .iMigcd to ex- ercLie the utmost

I.
Do you see the trucks?
They are motor trucks.
Are they filled with ftk)d?
No, not these trucks. •
These trucks were drawn by an artist to bring vividly (that is in life-like order) before our eyes one of the stern realities of this war, FOOD, and its relation to VICTORY. Food is brought to the soldiers in trucks like these. The artist de¬ sires to convey to our minds the thought that we, all of us at home, must keep the trucks moving in a long and uninter¬ rupted procession. If there is but one brief halt, one little half- hour, due to our selfishness,—that halt may mean,—
Do you see the outline of that last one, the one away back yonder on the hill? Let your eyes travel downward, around the bend,—count them all. Notice the big one in the front, leading the way? It has just come out of. the valley. It is steadily cHmbing the last hill this side of some army post somewhere in France. Look at the sides of these trucks. 'On each is painted in big letters the word FOODr.
II.
Now, children, if the artist had painted the word RELIEF on the sides of these trucks instead of FOOD he could not have brought to our minds more forcibly the truth of the claim made by Herbert Hoover that Food Will Win the War. Each one of these trucks is a relief messenger bringing nourishing food to your Big Brothers across the seas. Every soldier in the uniform of the U. S. A. is, indeed, your Big Brother, also every soldier wearing the uniform of France and Belgium and England-and Italy and Canada and Australia.. These Big Brothers are fighting for you and for me that both of us may live.
Not for themselves?
No, not for themselves. "For you and for me" means, in this war, for every man and woman and child thirsting to free the world of bad men. These bad men want to choke your Big Brothers in order that they (the bad men) may rule the world with a scourge of iron. Yes, children, they want to do that even to your own America, which has harmed no man.
III.
You don't want this to happen, do you?
You don't want to see your Big Brothers choked by an unmerciful enemy, do you?
Then you must help to drive the bad men back to v.-here they came from—Prussia.
How shall you help?
By pleading for them,—your Big Brothers,
Say to your mother now, each of you:
"Mother, dear, are we doing everything we can do, I don't m'ean that we mu.st do, I moan that we can do?"
Say to your Father, yes right now, all of you :
"Father I want to keep the relief trucks moving. I want to see ten thou.sand times ten thousand trucks, big trucks like ! these, going over to my Brothers on the firing line. I want j to see tens of thousands more going over to feed my little j cousins in Belgium and France and all my little coushis over | there who mu.^t have food to live and.hcpo. If a'ou promise to j eat no broad but war bread, and say you will not ask for as i much beef as you used to, I'll, well I'll do anything you >vant j me to do till my Big Brothors come back again. I want to help you now to Keep Old Glory Waving."
Cha«;e .Mellen, a we! -known law¬ yer, who resides in fJanlen City, was fined $20 by Ju.stice Wilbur F. South¬ ard on Saturday, for violation of the automobile speed law last .April in driving his car on the Merrick road between Wantagh and this villapfe at the rate of 4.S miles an hour.

YOUR EARS, PARENTS, YOUR EARS!
KEEP THE TRUCKS MOVING. Save the wheat. Eat no wheat or wheat products, if you can do without them. Try, try.
Save tho meat. Eut les.s today than you did yesterday.
Save the Su^ar. Don't buy beyond your needs for thirty days. Don't hoard. Hoarding is sorrowful selfi.shness. It is the beginning of acute shortage. You are entitled to an extra amount these days for home canning. Don't permit this privi¬ lege to tempt you to do a wrong to your neighbor and your country.
The next wheat crop will be a big one,—but who knows what will be the size of the one to follow? Hoover wants to store some of the big crop against a lean year that may come. Help him, not for yourself, but for them.
KEEP THE TRUCKS MOVING.
GETTING THE FOOD ACROSS.
