FEEDING YOU

The average city man has
probably never realized that get
ting his feed to him on time is
one of the most troublesome
things with which the country
has to deal.
In ordinary times it was not
so important that the city man
have such realization, but now,
in war time, 1t is an important
part Of sour Part in Feeding
the Nation"
The subjoined statement from
one of the experts Of the bureau
of markets, United States de-
partment Of agriculture, will
serve at least as an introduction
to one phase Of the problem.

re-studying just now. The separation of
Church and State is II trophy of Baptists.
"A free church in free State" is their
ideal now and has been their ideal down
through the centuries.
Other religionists have come to adopt
this slogan in more or less modified de-
gree, and. to their shame be it said, some
Baptists seem to want to accept the doe
trine with some notifications.

which brings about in any degree the union
Of church and state. against which they
have so consistently fought for generations.
