WAR BREAD BAD,
SO HE ESCAPED
FROM THE HUNS

When Lieutenant Pat O'Brien. an
American in the royal flying corps,
was in active service. before he
was taken prisoner, the aviators
used to say that they did not want
TO fall within the German lines. be-
cause 1.-The war bread Is bad in
Germany
And. when, after his escape from
a German prison camp. he reached
a place of safety, he wired: War
bread bad, so | came home"
That gay spirit is typical OF his
entire narrative which will be
given to local residents. Amoo
Grotto has decided to have Lieu
tenant O'Brien appear at the Spen-
Ger Square theatre He will tell of
digging his way under the electri-
fed wire fence that cut off Belgium
from the uninvaded world, and he
sums up the experiences of his es-
cape.
1T was Nov 10, 1917, when | got

illaries to Aid Rock Island
Chapter In Work.
ARE DOING GOOD SERVICE
All Getting Solidly Behind New
Plan and Find Many Ways to
Be Useful.

Rural schools as we'll as city
schools under the Jurisdiction OF
the Rock Island chapter of the Red
Cross are rapidly lining up as junior
auxiliaries.
Each day some district school
goes over the top with a school
fund of at least % cents for each
child enrolled. and a pledge of Red
Cross service.
The schools outside of the city
work with the nearest Red Cross
branch. The funds OF each school
are deposited with that branch and
the school is entitled to Red Cross
materials with which TO work. to
the amount of its deposit. Many of
the schools, city and rural. have
given entertainments in order to
swell their funds.
The older girls of the schools are
busily making refugee garments
women's dresses. children's dresses,
capes, petticoats, chemises, boys
shirts and other regulation articles
The smaller children are piecing
quilts for the babies. But sewing
and knitting are not the only ac-
tivities which junior auxiliaries
have undertaken.
In line with the junior Red Cross
over the country, the Red Cross
auXiliaries of the local chapter are
pledging themselves to every sort
of patriotic service. The boys are
meeting the call for books for the
soldiers, each junior Red Cross
member is trying to see that nc
magazines go to waste in his home
the new copies of the more expen-
sive ones are put in the mails with
a penny stamp attached and &c
forth TO camps and cantonments
Protection of property, keeping
school property clean, protection OF
/ birds, prevention of food waste
every patriotic service is part OF
the junior Red Cross program.
Work on Gardens.
Gardens are for the present the
principal task of the boys of the
junior Red Cross. Many of the
boys are sewing and knitting-but
their own particular LOB" is the
raising of vegetables and poultry
if they are fortunate enough tC
have the chance. The boy who
lives on the farm and always had
the chance to help produce food is
asked 10 do it a bit better and raise
more.
Schools are finding out that there
/ is no end to the things a junior
auxiliary can accomplish. Rock Is

county will soon have 100 per cent

already it is at work almost that

The Wilson Label Protects Your Table

We adopted the above slogan be
cause it tells in six words the full
meaning of the Wilson XI-shaped
label. Too much Importance cannot
be attached to the value of a distinc-

simple, sure means of Identification
1t guides the purchaser. 1t puts the
manufacturer on record, to stand or
fall on the quality of his products. The
consumer will either accept or reject
by the label, as he or she comes to
know labels and their value.
When you buy meats or other food
products bearing our label you are
certainly entitled to know that you
are being treated fairly and squarely
