Time For Women to Act

Then do your part III your own com
Portable home to help the sick and
suffering. Sew for the destitute wom-
en- and children.
Third you can produce food. Today
we are in greater need than ever be-
fore in the history of our country.
The whole world is looking to US for
help. We simply cannot fail those
who have nowhere else TO turn for the
very necessities of life. Raise all you
can for your own consumption, and
thus lessen the demand on bigger
growers. Don't waste time and space
on lettuce, radishes and other such
non-essentialS. Put in the things that
will count next winter-carrOts, tur-
nips, beets, potatoes, and all the other
vegetables that can easily be stored
without canning. A few cents ex-
pended for seed now will produce
many dollars worth Of fresh green
stuff that possibly will keep you from
hunger next winter. The United States
department of agriculture will furnish
free booklets on raising everything
from head of cabbage to a field Of
corn, and we should put every avail
able foot of ground under cultivation
at once.
Women and children make fine gar
deners. Do your part. Enthuse your
neighbors. Help the country break its
glorious record in world food produc-
tlon.

SS-1 girls and boys back nome
Just outside of Turin is
Il great building that used 10 be
farmhouse. Now it is home for boys
ana girls who are not strong. They
are children of the very poor and If
they remained in dark houses and did
not have enough to eat, they would
never get well.
The officers of the American Red
Cross went out TO the farm recently
and saw the children 90 through the
drills that will give them strength.
They made n brave showing in their
red shirts. like small soldiers of Carl
baldi, and 1t was easy to see by the
look on their faces that they intend
ed to win the fight they were making
to be strong like other boys.
OF course they were told about the
millions of children, members Of the
American Red Cross, who are helping
on the other side of the Atlantic and
who send with their gifts. their love to
the children of Italy whose fathers
have been in the war for three years
against n cruel enemy-the enemy of
the world, Germany.
After listening to this story of the
love of the American boys and girls
across the sea. small boy sidled up to
Major Taylor, the Turin delegate Of
the American Red Cross, and overcOm-
Ing his shyness asked: MAY we
send something TO our little friends in
American"
Then before anyone could tell what
was happening these poor little chill
1ren brought from their pockets all
they had. big Italian copper pennies,
and poured them into Major TaylOr's
hands. Several ran into the farm
house to get their treasure, which they
had so carefully guarded. Some look
ed long at their pennies tied In Il
handkerchief 1t was hard struggle
to part with it, for 1t meant a bit Of
pastry or something sweet or, may
be. something for their parents. But
the struggle was brief and out came
the coin and the boy or girl dropped
It into the American officers hand with
smiling face.
"FOr America they said, and sure
ly there never were gifts that came
from hearts more loyal and true.
Major Taylor had tiny American
flags for them all, and the little fell

they were greeting the boys and girls

"HEADS UP"

In a published letter from an Amer
lean soldier in France to his parents
in this country occurs this sentence:
ITS got to be heads up and win the
war with us every minute, and We'll
pull through"
The letter was written of course,
some weeks before the launching of
the big German drive. But the
words might just as we'll been spoken
or written in the face of this last ter
rible onslaught Of Prussianism. It
shows the spirit and courage and de
termination of their comrades in the
armies of our allies. They know no
doubt or disoouragement.
The writer said further: DO try
to make people realize at home that
this war means everything that it
worth while and we've got to win it.
1t is the supreme test of might
against right. We are fighting not
only for America but for the very
rock foundation of civilization and
liberty"
All Of which the people at home do
realize and are coming to appreciate
more fully every day. says the Ard.

GOVERNOR URGES EARLY BUY
ING OF COAL

Governor Williams has issued a
proclamation in which he stresses the
Importance of the early buying of
coal. He says:
The people of the state of Okiaho-
ma must realize Immediately the ne
cessity of meeting a probable coal
shortage this winter by laying in d
supply of coal now.
This is necessary for two reasons:
First Unless the consumers lay
il uow their winters supply Of coal
both the mines and the coal cars will
be idle part Of the year The result
will be that vital war industries, our
ammunition plants and even the ships
that carry our soldiers across tie wa
ter may be hampered by lack of coal.
Il is the patriotic duty of each citi-
zen to lay in coal now
Second: The growth of additional
var industries and the increased de-
mand for coal due to carrying our
men across the ocean will probably
mean that it will be impossible to
supply coal after October first there
fore citizens either must buy coal
now or take the chance of suffering
from the cold this winter.
| therefore ask all citizens who can
possibly do so to meet this situation
by ordering their coal Immediately.
| likewise appeal to manufacturing

fighting blindly at the command OF
an imperial master as are the Ger.
man troops And therein lies the
great source Of our strength. Know
ing what the war means, what we are
fighting for, we are able to endure
to the last and to hold out until our
victory is won.
A college professor has said almost
the same thing to his students as he
has urged them to look deeper into
the war than miles of battle-ground
gained or lost "He who builds up
the understanding of what this war
means is building for the strain of
the months and, perhaps the years
of war to come He is cultiyating
and pruning the tree from which must
come the fruit that will ultimately
lead to victory"
