Daily Food Hint

Study your meals. Ask yourself:
Does this meal mean the change of
milk, cheese, eggs, game, nuts and
peas for beef, mutton, pork? Does it
mean the use of barley, corn, oats,
potatoes and rye instead of wheat?
Are you substituting honey, molasses.
corn sirup or other sirup for sugar.
so as to reduce the amount of sugar
used to three pounds or less per per-
son per month?

HELP PRODUCE FOOD
TO FEED SOLDIERS
Town Man Qualified for Farm
Work Should Offer Services.
Many Communities Throughout United
States Must Depend on Volun-
teers for Heavy Seasonal
Needs-lt Is War Job.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
If you are Il town man qualified for
farm work in your county during the
rush periods of planting, cultivation
and harvest, and If you hesitate TO
offer for such service because it VIII
be announcement and difficult and be-
cause you will earn less money for
that short period of farm work than
YOU would have earned in town dur
ing the same time-if this is the case
you have failed to grasp either the
seriousness of the present peril to
civilization or the Importance of the
personal responsibility resting upon
you, and every individual.
If YOU are a farmer in need of eX-
ira help, without which your food pro-
duction will be diminished, and if you
are reluctant to use emergency town
volunteers you also have not seen the
peril-have not heard the call that
has inspired other men to give their
lives.
The higher wage inducements of city
Industries and plants producing war
materials have drawn many workers
or two. AS consequence most COM
munities all over the United States
must depend upon local emergency
supplies of farm labor for their heavy
seasonal needs. Plans have already
been put into effect in a great many
sections whereby sufficient town vol
unteers have been secured to supply
the need .of the adjacent farm terri
tory during the busy periods.
OF course this is hard work. OF
course. in most cases, 1T means some
financial sacrifice upon the part OF the
town man, and some annoyance to the
farmer who would prefer permanent.
skilled help. But you are called to
that service! It is just situation
that must be met. Suppose soldiers
hesitated to do things that are hard
and difficult and annoying! Suppose
men wouldn't go into the army unless
they profited financially! If Ameri-
can men had taken that attitude Ger
many would already have crushed the
defenders of civilization, and you
would now be concerned about the
safety of your wife and children-not
YOUR convenience and your money
The last two would certainly be taken
from you with n Hun victOry-and the
Hun will win if soldiers ever hesitate,
as some civilians have hesitated to do
the difficult. the unpleasant, the finan-
cially Improbable thing!
II is your war job to work on farms
in your county. when and where your
services are needed to produce and
harvest food crops. war-winning crops
1t is the farmers war job to use such
help to the utmost advantage. Our
soldiers are gloriously doing their wal
job over there. The most you car
do is infinitely small, by comparison
with what they do. Do farms in your
county need help?s Then think of the
boys from your town, going over the
top under shell fire today-and so tC
work to help feed them!

LOCAL LIME SUPPLY USEFUL
Necessary Food Furnished for Plants
and Is Great Aid in Speeding
Up Many Crops.

prepared by the United States Depart

While lime is not usually listed
among the commercial fertilizers, it
furnishes necessary food for plants
and when properly used is q great
aid in speeding up the production OF
many crops. Its greatest value is for
correcting acidity of the soil under
which condition many plants will not
thrive. 1t also improves the soils
physical condition and Influences ia
vorably the decomposition of organic
matter. In some cases IL may make
available to some extent soluble forms
of potash and other minerals. 1t Is
particularly valuable if there is good
supply of organic matter in the soil.
Spring is good time to apply lime,
particularly the hydrated form and
specialists of the department of agri-
culture are urging that local limestone
deposits be utilized in every possible
way. This is already being done in
many places but no doubt the practice
could be widely extended. However,
it involves. i'll the ease of grinding, the
purchaSe and delivery of grinding ma
chinery which may be difficult to ac-
compliSh, and in the case of local
burning it means the purchase and de-
livery of fuel unless there is local fuel
available. Wherever fuel, either wood
or coal. is available, however. toGeth-
err with local supply of limestone,
every effort should be put forth to
make use of this limestone in the pres
ent emergency.

Why can you buy everything in the
hardware line from the Gourley-Lo-
gan Hardware company cheaper than
from most firms dealing in these
goods. The reason is plain to those
who know that all overhead expenses
of this firm are cut to the lowest pos,
sible figure and the owners operate
their own business, thus eliminating
much of the salaries which would be
paid to managers, bookkeepers, etc,
Therefore, they can sell at the lowest
possible margin of profit and still
make a reasonable return on their in
vestment. Again, they are hardware
people; know the business from the
ground up and are fast building up
one of the largest hardware business
es in the southern part of the state.
Then they advertise in The Evening
