Report of the Supply Committee

Report of the Supply Committee
 The active work of the supply com mittee began early in September. The secretary, Mrs. Ettlinger. was made chairman of supply committee. ana Mrs. Taft was. given charge of the sewing and Mrs. McPhail of the knit ting.
 The home of Mrs. Taft was made the center of cutting and garments were taken to the various houses in the camp to be made. Then the Ladies Aid society of the local church offered their room, which was aC cepted and has been used since. This room has been commodious and com fortable. When the cold weather came the fuel for heating was furnished by the Magma Copper company. Sewing machines were loaned to the Red Cross rooms by the women of the camp. These machines were left for a period of time, from two weeks to two months and several women paid for the rent of good machines placed by the Singer Sew ing Machine company in the rooms. Kelvin Lumber and Supply com pany donated material for cutting table and cupboard and J. C. Brown donated the carpenter work for the same. Supplies were delivered by the trucks of the Magma Copper com pany and V. G. Dunbar. All the stores and markets, bakers and lum- Der companies have been generous

Save The. Hens

Every laying hen sold from
the farms before the first of May
means loss of about 30 eggs to
the food supply of the Nation.
These eggs are valuable food,
manufactured largely from In
sects, weeds, and grass, gar
bage and waste. The eggs,
therefore, are almost wholly a
net gain in human food. More
over, the hen is just as good
meat after she has laid these
eggs as before.
SAVE THE HENS is the
message that the United States
Department of Agriculture is
sending broadcast through press
notices and posters and through
its county agents, especially IN
the southern poultry raising sec
tions.

Captain Painter Writes

Corpus Christi Texas, February 9th
The News, Meade Kansas
We were just wondering if we
could pencil any thing that would
interest home folks, so here goes.
For two weeks we have sojourned
here on the Corpus Christi bay and
have experienced more different
kinds of weather than We ever saw in
the same length of time in any other
place we ever we're before. Cold,
windy, and generally disagreeablc.
The only redeeming thing about the
climate is we sleep good and are al.
ways hungry.
The city ofCorpus Christl is a city
of fine drive ways with a beautiful
view of the bay. The water in it is
vely low and no vessels of any size
can land here. The country is very
dry, no rain to speak of for three
years. The cotton farmers, and
that is about all that is raised here,
are hard up. Business is at low
ebb. The city is full of tourists
from everywhere and naturally are
welcome as they are the only source
of revenue excepting fishing. The
fish are cleaned and shipped. No
one eats them here. They are only
served at two short order places and
are higher than at home. We have
seen Mexicans gathering oysters
which are very plentiful, but have
only seen them served at meal times
since we came Once we had oyster
soup, and to our astoDishment one
poor little starved oyster had by
some unaccountable way fallen into
our dish and persisted, or may have
died of lonesomeness before he got
that far. Plenty of game but we are
not allowed to shoot any. This
morning we went down to the bay
[about two hundred fifty feet] ducls
we're swimming near the shore, no
doubt canversant with the Texas
game laws which are rigidly enforced.
The city is clean morally. No
saloons or other places of vice. No
one can play even social game OF
cards here in public place, only
In the quietude of home where no
one can see the same. No dice,
cards, or games of chance, not even
punch board is allowed by law.
No one can carry knife or gun.
Fine churches, good school Uuild-
ings and one of the best court houses
we ever saw Red Cross signs are
in almost every window, Rest and
readingrooms on nearly every street.
A moral atmosphere Is noticeable.
Last evening we attended sa-
cred concert at the Episcopal church
of the Good Shepherd. A splendid
program was rendered. One of the
bsst numbers was a quartette com.
p osed of four officers from Camp
Kerney, United States Engineer
Corps, who sang "One Sweetly Sol
emn Thought; also Major Reincke,
accompanied blythe choir who render
ed "The Birthday of King" In a
way that pleased every one who was
so fortunate as to get seat. The
same quartette sang at the weekly
meeting of the Tourists Club at the
Nuesces Hotel sun parlor.
Tourists and soldiers are in evi.
dence at every social gathering and
render most of the programs
We expect to spend the next few
days at Brownsville and SanBenit
weather permitting We have gath
e.ed some fine shells to bring home
and have secured many picture pos
tsl cards of notable and historic
places.
The time to visit Corpus Christi
is il. late October and November and
always bring your car.
