Eat PeriShabIC Foods.

The U. S. Food Administration
strongly urges the greatest pos
sible use of home grown perish
able food products, such as garden
truck and fruits, as soon as they
are available. The use of these
Short-lived foods will liberate the
more concentrated and staple
ones for the allies and soldiers.
1t is not patriotic to use canned
goods if fresh products can be had.
Immense stocks of canned goods
must be reserved for our boys and
comrades in arms, and every home
may have an opportunity to help
create this reserve stock if they
will use the fresh products instead
of the canned, even if a little
more work in their preparation is
required, and by putting up all
canned goods they need for them
selves. Victor Peterson,

Will Kelsey Breaks Out With
Poetry.

Besides being a rafting good
painter, paperhanger and calci-
miner, Will Kelsey has just
:;'broke out" with poetry-which
he figures is even worse than
mumps. Here is Wills latest po-
etc spasm:
Uncle Sam went up the hill to
get Kaiser Bill. Uncle Sam went
over the top and he made the
Kaiser drop. Uncle Sam left U.
S. A. and went to France where
he had a chance to show the world
that our boys of pearl are in the
world to do their bit and get the
Kaiser by the neck. Our boys in
France are in the trench fighting
for U. S. A. This has always been
a free country, so if made of the
best material go over the sea so
you can see that every brave
American will stand and fight for
their great land to make us free
the home of Liberty.
