As gardening is the topic of the day let every housekeeper attend this meeting and learn the best way of preserving all kinds of vegetables and fruits for our winters use. At farmer meeting Miss Sprague emphasized the shortage of canned goods in our country and predicted that home canned goods would find a ready sale. It is hoped that every man, woman and child in the community who are interested will attend. The world is crying for food as never before The distress of many nations appeals to all America to help. Patriotism must be.aroused to help feed our own nation and also our brethren of the world, irrespective of nationality. If we cannot enlist for service at the front, let us all, every man, woman and child, raise garden, garden larger than is re- qiured to feed the home. If the war should cease at once the world would still have to be fed, and fed by the United States; no other country can do it. The starvation of the old folks and of the dear little children across the ocean must be stopped. Let us each do our share.
