impossible for the average farmer to gel
the separate Ingredients in the smaller
markets. This would, perhaps, be q
little more expensive but this needs to
be fed only three or four weeks and the

in stamps was pledged at each meet
ing. Totaling the pledges to date,
Melrose has raised $4,000 in War
Savings Stamps and is preparing fol-
another meeting. Sank Centre is every
bit as loyal as Melrose. There is nc
question but that more than that
amount will be raised next Monday
night.
As was stated above, all are urged
to come. The Herald is authorized to
state that unless the meeting is well
attended, it will be necessary to make
a drive, which the committee does
not want to do. They want volunteers
Therefore it is absolutely necessary
that all come. If there is not room
enough in the Senior building, there
will be in the Junior auditorium. Plan
now on the amount you are to pledge
The amount must be raised; your
pledge, no matter what the size, is
needed. AS County Chairman Strebel
explained last night, the government
is merely asking for loan and pays
literally for that loan, four per cent
compounded quarterly. Do not let
Melrose leave Sank Centre behind.

plan is being followed in other towns
with marked success.
