Show APHOPOS the food conservation H program, here's what happened H in Portland, a short time ago. An ex- jH elusive club, comprising the most ' H prominent personages in the town, wias JM staging its annual jinks. It was one ( H of those Hurrah-for-Hoover affairs, and H it was Hoover this, and Hoover that, ' H all evening long. Finally the hilarity M died down and the proceedings came j H to a close as the guests arose from the j H tables and solemnly sang the follow- JLI ing conservation pledge to the strains rB of "Oh, Promise Me": k jH 1 B "We promise thee, that one day in the B week 'H A wheatless, Hoover dinner we will ;H H And use of beef and pork and mutton H stew ,M But once a day, and those days very H few; Ifl And in our coffee and our daily tea H We'll use of sugar very sparingly, " jH But eat more fish and fruit and vege- H tables. jH We promise thee wo promise thee."
