farm BUREAU after
MEMBERSHIP increase

The Medina County Farm Bureau is
planning a campaign to increase its
membership, in line with similar &C
ton by all the other farm bureaus of
the state, as one of the features of
the Food Production Campaign to be
conducted over the country during
Thanksgiving week, and each bureau
has set goal for it's membership.
Saturday, Nov. 80, at 2 p. m. a mass
meeting of county farmers will be
held in Medina, at which several good
speakers will be present.
Each person who joins his farm
bureau will be presented with mem
bership button and a card IL inches
square, suitable for fastening on his
front gate.
The purpose of the campaign is at
the present time in large part big
attempt to rally all agricultural forces
of the country to united support of ar
efficient food production program
Even with the war over, it is declared
that more food than ever will be need
ed for the next year or so. While
peace will probably release food sup
plies that are now withheld from trade
it will also remove powerful embar
goes which will, thereby, greately in
crease the demand for food. A great
armed force must be kept in Europe
for a time to see that peace treaties
will not again be treated as mere
scraps of paper. This means that oul
enormous army will not be de-mobil
lied in time for crop production mex
year. Furthermore the entire worlt
will as soon as possible increase it,
food consumption in accordance will
normal demands.
Farmers, therefore, it is declared
have more reason than ever to expec
good market for all that they cal
possibly produce, and it is the belle
of those who have made study of tn
situation that farmers can bring thi
about most efficiently by collective eff
fort and working thru the farm bur

co-operates.

freight cars at important cities and
terminals throughout the country The
congestion is particularly serious in
the railroad terminals at the Port of

can people. Railroad cars must be
kept moving and they must be utilized
to their maximum capacity If the de-
mands Of the people for the necessa-
ries of life and of the Army and Navy
for essential munitions and supplies
are to be met. 1t Is an imperative
duty Of the hour for every citizen to
do his utmost to move freight from
cars and from railroad stations i'm
mediately upon its arrival.
Under the new demurrage order
just issued heavy charges for deten-
tion Of freight cars will go into effect
on and after January 21. The whole
nation should unite In supreme ef-
fort to clear up the congestion at
terminals before the demurrage order
goes into effect and to keep 1t cleared
up thereafter.

the United States to observe the week
