FARMERS WIVES CAN HELP
One Dozen Eggs viii Buy Two Thrift
Stamps or IL Cartridges In
Americas Fight for De-
moeracy Of World.

The Missouri hen, already famous,
has the opportunity Of her life to add
to her renown.
Every dozen of Missouri hen eggs
will now buy 10 cartridges for the Amer
lean army. If the Missouri hens get
busy on the Job during the next year
they can lay enough eggs to supply the
United States soldiers With enough
ammunition to win the war.
Eggs are now bringing so cents per
dozen to the poultryman and the farm
er in the rural districts of Missouri;
100 cartridges cost IS. At the present
prices practically every egg laid by
Missouri hen Is equivalent to a car
fridge for Uncle Sans army.

The poultry industry Of Missouri,
according to the United States Census
report, the year Of 1910 has greater
value than the wheat and oats crops
combined. Missouri's greatest cereal
crop is corn, the value Of which is ex-
ceeded by the crop Of only two other
states in the Union. The value Of a
single years crop is 10000 900. Vast
as this sum is, the little Missouri hen
and her product for two years would
buy the great corn crop produced in
any one year. Missouri has more than
$4,000 acres Of coal area. and also
great fields Of iron. zinc. lead and 9th.

with more than $30,000.C00 In these
materials, but Missouri's hen brings
more wealth to the state by @16.000.000
than all the mineral products COM

The farmers wife and the poultry
man have rare opportunity Of aiding
the government In eQuipping the great
new army. One dozen eggs per week
will buy two Thrift Stamps, and in
two months War Savings Certificate
can be secured for the 16 Thrift
