RAISE POULTRY

The department of agriculture has issued circulars urging that more poultry be raised this year than ever before It goes on to say that wa must double tho amount of poultry raised last year, in order that we may release beef, pork and other meats that will stand transportation to our allies. If production is doubled rext year this country will have over six billion pounds of meat food in the form of poultry and eggs, which will release nearly as many pounds of other meat which our allies and our armies in Europe will need to keep up their fighting strength. On the other hand if we do not produce and use for meat purposes this amount of poultry and its products, we will find ourselves short of meat to just that extent.
 This appeal is made to every patri. otto person, and should be considered one of the duties of the hour, which will help to win the war. Coming as 1t does on the heels of the poultry ex- hibition, some may think it plan to boost the interests of that association. This is entirely wrong. as those who neglect to raise a small flock of chickens for this reason will find to their sor. row. The plan is to raise enough poul. try so that the scraps from the table will form the greater part of the neces. sary feed, and not have a flock which will cause the grain bills to become burdensome.
 Every back yard should have a small flock, which will supply meat that is highly favored by most people and will enable the economical house. wife to store eggs for winter use. Thus we will directly help our country win this war and help ourselves az we'll by reducing the cost of living.

PURCHASER OF LIBERTY
BOND D0UBLY REWARDED

Purchasers of Government Bonds OF
the second Liberty Loan Of 1917 will
derive much comfort from the invest.
ment, first, because Of the feeling that
they are helping the government, and
second, because Of the material bene-
fits accruing from the interest paid
every six months on the bonds.
Thrift is a virtue more honored In
the breach than in the observance In
this country, and the preacher OF thrist
is likely to talk to unwilling ears.
For so many years Americans have
been conscious Of their extravaganza,
and even somewhat proud of II, that
they have a feeling that it would be
unworthy for them to skimp.
One OF the attractive features OF
the Liberty Bonds is that the pur.
chaser will not have to keep them in
I'll they become due, but can get his
money back by selling the bonds any
day But the great comfort that the
purchaser will have, will be derived,
first, from the thought that he hab
helped his government in its hour
of need, and second, that the money
will be working for him days, nights
and holidays, and that every six
months It will prove that fact by a
cash payment.
