Amazing Display
Of Canned Goods
Virginia Responds Louishly
Win Foods TO Supply
Soldiers

One OF the most remarkable exhibit
lions OF practical food conservation yet
seen in Virginia Is being placed at the
headquarters of the Rational League
for Woman's Service in the Allison
Building. sos East Main Street. The
exhibition Is notable In many respects,
and regarded as amazing when It Is
considered that II represents the pa
triotic activities Of groups Of women
in country and mountain districts of
the State. These are women who care
for their families, and in whom the
fires OF patriotism burn with a steady
flame. Their desire to do their bit
IS just as strong as the most ardont
worker In any Red Cross workroom In
Richmond.
Headquarters 70. the National Lea que
for Woinan's Service will be found OH
the fourth fioor of tho Allison Building,
where Mrs. w. w Sale. State chairman.
has her Office. Mrs. Henry Il. Basker-
vile Is secretary Of the league, and Mrs.
Thomas l.. Moore. treasurer.
The room where the exhibition can
! be seen Is on the third noor. where
shelves are filled with rows and rows
and SILL more rows of canned articles.
Every fruit and vegetable is repre-
scented.
Besides tho cans and jars of every
description. there arc bags OF dried
fruit and vegetables, and barrels OF APP
pies and potatoes. Donations from
se"enty-seven counties of the state are
here displayed. One county has SIX
whole sections OF the commodious
shelves filled.
1t was in May that Mrs. Sale sent gu,
the call to each chairman OF the va rious
chapters throughout the State TO as.s
every member OF her respective chap
| ter to set aside one jar of her winter
, supply OF canned goods for tho soldiers
| The leas has 10000 members In Vir-
Einia. and when the barrels and boxes
began coming in after Mrs. Sale had
mailed out TO the chairmen the of1c.a
shipping cards. II was realized tina,
the women OF tho State had responded
nobly TO tho call. and practical food
conservation would hace notable
Inning in Richmond when the donati
were put on exhibition.
In fact. contributions have been sc
liberal that there will be enough tc
ship to Virginia soldiers at Camp Nc
Clellan. Fort OGlethorpe and Old Point
Weekly shipments will be made &c
Camp Leo. The surplus will be 70,
sale all OF next week beginning Mon
/ day. The proceeds Of the sale Of the
canned fruit and vegetables will be
used for free wool fund and for ma
terials for hospital supplies TO be
