MUST HAVE MORE MEAT

Because of the war the meat reserves
of the world are diminished. The herds
of live stock in Europe have been re-
duced by slaughter made necessary in
order to feed the armies. Our own
meat production in the years just pre-
ceding the war was barely sufficient for
our own uses. And yet we are now
called upon not only to feed ourselves,
but to feed Europe to large extent
And we must do it if we win the war.
Where will we get the meat? You
can do your part, on your farm and in
your backyard by producing more pouI-
try-increasing the supply of eggs and
chickens, geese and ducks. Our total
number of beef animals, can not be in.
creased with sufficient quickness. Sew
eral years are required to build up cat
tie herds. Hogs can be increased con-
siderably in a year They can be in
creased faster than any other meat
animal. But poultry can be doubled in
a year. 1t offers the fastesa and cheap
est possible source of meat increase.
That is why it is so important that
everyone help in poultry production
next year.
The more poultry and eggs we pro
duce the more poultry and eggs we will
eat. the more of that food we eat
the less beef and pork we will need or
waDt-leayiop that much more to 90 to
Europe. Thus we do indirectly the
thing we can't do directly. By poultry
production we get quickly more meat
to win the war, although we can netin
crease in that time the number of our
meat animals.
Get some good hens. You will help
win the war You will reduce your
own cost of living. You will turn waste
into food. Get some good hens.

American Red Cross Answering
Appeal on Wonderful Scale
Finest Peace Work
in History.
Now Red Cross Asks You and
NE to Do Our Part for
Those cover THERE
So We Must Join.

In war-tOrn Europe today there are
millions of mothers and babies at the
point of death from actual starvation.
Winter is at hand. Yet they are rag
ged and homeless. They are diseased
Tuberculosis, dysentery, skin affec-
lions, fevcrs are ravaging them. They
are widowed and orphaned and broken
with grief
In order to protect America and save
the liberties for which the allies have
been battling three years, our own
lads are over there now, fighting and
dying so that you and and our wives
and our daughters and babies may not
suffer unspeakable cruelties at the
hands of enemy sIvages.
Now then: The people of America,
through their Red Cross have under
taken to right the hideOus wrongs the
TeutOnS have done TO nOncOmbatants
IN Europe. so far as it is possible to do
so. 1t means building thousands Of
= homes, providing food, clothing and
care for millions, conducting hundreds
of hospitals on large scale and thou
sands of medical dispensaries. 1t is
the biggest peace job the world has
ever seen.
But that isn't all-nOt by long shot.
The American Red Cross has cOlos-
sol war labor to perform. It must eS-
tablish and operate hundreds of large
military hospitals Of various kinds for
our own armies and those of our al
lies. 1t must provide necessities and
comforts for the fighting men and for
the noble women who are nursing the
wounded In short, it must do every
thing pnSS to take some OF the
curse cut ., war.
This work is already well under
way. Our Red Cross is helping all
the stricken people on great scale.
Our Red Cross must not fall down
on the job. You and l are RESPONSE
bic for the success of the enterprise.
OF course we cart go over there, and
actually build houses and feed
the hungry and clOthe the naked and
nurse the sick. But we can back up
the great machine already in the field
and at work.
w nat Cttu we uO-yOu anu II
Well, first of all we must be mem
bers of the Red Cross. At this writ
ing the organization needs milliUEs
more of us on its muster rolls. We
compose the army at home support
ing the army In the field-both peace
full armies. At home here we form
chapters and circles that furnish cloth
ing and hospital supplies for soldiers
and civilians in Europe. We must
provide funds. We must show direct,
intimate, personal interest in what the
Red Cross field organization is doing.
We must knit and sew and save and
give.
Right now the Red Cross is cam
paigning for 100000 members. Fiji
teen million members by Christ
mas Eve is the slogan. One years
membership costs one dollar. BY pay
ing an additional dollar the member
gets the Red Cross Magazine for
year.
Every man, woman and child in this
community ought to be wearing Red
Cross pin on Christmas Day. Every
father should make each of his chill
dren a Christmas gift of Red Cross
membership - and explain TO the
Youngsters the meaning Of the present.
