we ask Joe Hill, the father of pork

the value and management of

PRODUCTION of hot lunches in the
rural schools.
The majority of the pupils in
city schools have the advantage
of a hot lunch either at home or
in a cafeteria. On the other hand
the children of the prosperous
farmer go from morning till
night with no warm food. A Gun
OF hot cocoa, a dish of boiled or
baked beans, a bowl of cereal
with fruit or a bowl of nourish-
ing soup or stew to supplement
the lunch brought from home
would maintain their strength
and increase their mental ener-
gy. This simple beginning of the
serving Of hot lunches can be
easily accomplished with an in
expensive one burner oil stove
and a ireless cooker. The girls
or boys can make the freless
cooker in a few hours after the
materials are collected.

that their duty as loyal citizens

Carpenter, (which is now draw

with which to equip our armies

and make the world safe for De
mocracy. And the buyers of
War Savings Stamps had a great
part in this work.
"The men and money thus
raised have played a noble part
in the stamping out of militia
rism and autocracy.
'Now the Government needs
more money. 1t is even for a no.
bier purpose. 1t is to be used for
rebuilding devastated France and
Belgium. These countries that
for more than four years felt
the iron heel of Prussianism, are
now freed from the yoke. But
these countries are exhausted fl
nancially. Their man power is at
low ebb, Without aid years
would elapse before they could
resign their place among the
Nations.
America is the country they
look to for financial aid. The
money they need they will Dor
row from this country. This is
the only country that can make
advances.
But America needs money for
other purposes than to lend. The
contracts entered into during
the war must be executed
when they cannot be cancelled,
The men in khaki, two million
of them, on the other side must
be cared for and returned safe
and sound to this country. All of
this will require money.
Not only must the people buy
more War Savings Stamps. but
they should see the necessity of
holding on to those they have
purchased, It is to the credit of
Hlssourians, who have bought
most generously Of these securi-
ties that comparatively few
nave cashed them in. They feel
like the men who offered them
selves to the Government. These
men, most of them. enlisted for
the term of the war, the BUYERS
OF War Savings Stamps enlisted
their dollars and their quarter
dollars for four years"
Mr.. Carpenter says that in GER
tam sections Of the state some
holders Of these securities are
presenting them for redemption.
but that the movement is not at
all wide spread. In the event that
it should become so, however.
the reconstruction work of the
Government might be seriously
hampered.
