^ During the last‘three years a tremendous advance has been made in human
efficiency on American farms. Farmers, confronted by the fact that thousands of
farm workers had left the furrow to enter the trenches, were able to maintain
crop production by getting into the field earlier and staying later; by using
head as well as hands; and by multiplying man-power by the use of down-to-
date implements.

The remains of Mrs. D. F. Wright
were disintered bv P. B. Butler on

^transportation to Corpus Christi, to be

Wrfght, son of Mrs. Wright was pres-
ent at the cemetery. This is the last
one of his family to be. buried as a
storm victim, making nine in all. Mrs.
Wright was 72 years old. She and her
husband were last seen 'in the waters
of rim great tiday wave, with arms
locked, and both lost their lives in the
awful storm.
“Conservation” means “saving.” When we speak of
NATIONAL conservation we mean the saving of the coun-
try’s resources and products.
We’ know that national conservation is of the utmost
importance, but, in the stress of these terribly momentous
times, we are apt to forget the necessity of “personal con-
servation,” which is of nearly equal importance.
We believe that every man and woman—-every boy and
girl—should give serious thought to the vitally important
matter of “personal conservation,? or “saving,"
