SAVING WITHOUT SIGN POSTS
TEST FOR HOUSEWIVES WITS.

The United States has booked an
order to supply 100000 tons of meat
and fats during the current year to be
charged to the account Of freedom.
1t is a large order-a larger order
than the undertaking to send ten mil
lion tons of breadstuffs.
In one way it comes to about the
same thing as doubling the order for
bread and sending half OF it in the
form Of meat-for meats and fats are
concentrated from feed. But that is
not the biggest feature of It. It IL
this: When we send grain we use the
entire crop, except enough for seed
and a respectable reserve-there will
be another harvest next year. But
meat Is different. All this meat must
be sent-four times as much as we
ever used to export and a million tons
more than last year-and yet we ought
to have at the end of the year focks
and herds as large as now-larger II
we work it right.
The United States must so manage
that its own people will be kept in
health and strength; the victories OF
freedom also mean there are more
friendly people to be nurtured and
fostered. This large order the United
States is to fill and yet be able to sup
ply twice as many people another year
and still keep its herds intact.
There will be no requisitioning, no
swooping down on communities and
driving all the cattle to the pen. The
meats and fats will be supplied by
volunteers. The food will be found by
saving.
The overseas contract calls for 3
100000 tons of meats and fats. Three
times a day it Is for every Marylander
to declare whether, so far as he is con-
cerned, Uncle Sans contract is going
to be fulfilled 1t Is not sudden one

also have those old time clocks, the
height of the room. Still use the
fireplace for cooking, that is all the
places | have seen so far, and | have
seen quite a number. Am sent out
with the fellows to do some inter-
preting for our Company, rustling
up big pots and different kinds of
cooking utensils. Went out with an
officer to help locate billets for diff
ferent troops, and doing that kind
of work; has sent me into lots of
homes where one could see just what
this country life was like and their
ways of living
Couldn't say how the cities are
because have been only in a few
small towns, which are quite similar
to the farms in their ways.
There are many things | know
you would be interested in if | could
only write them, but you know how
it is in the army. Wrote Mother two
or three times since have been in
France and she may show you these
letters, so there are some things l
need not mention on this one.

write as often as you can, because

we have for little news from home
right now. Have been over here
two weeks and no news yet. And
when you write tell me Of the war
news. Don't get any here. Ger
many may have captured Paris for
all we know. No way to get a pa
M. G. A. or canteen building since
over here, SO you see it is pretty
hard to get what fellow would
like to have, such as good place to
write or an honest to God piece of
candy; it all would go good. If l
don't get something that looks like
reading matter pretty soon, am sure
will forget all about reading, for
haven't seen any of that luxury since
| left the States, and all the fellows
are in the same boat; that is, those
around this part of France, wherever
that is, and can't tell, because
haven't seen a map of this country
yet. Hope we get better service
soon, but suppose it's all like this at
first with new troops till they are
kind of settled down for a period of
time. Losing couple old pals that
made the trip with from Camp Lew

VEGETABLE FAIR
GREAT SUCCESS

The fruit and vegetable fair, held
at Kent's hall on Saturday by Miss
Myrtle Heberling, county supervisor,
proved to be a great success. There
was an attendance of over 400 peo-
pie at the fair, and all of them re-
marked upon the splendid quality of
the vegetables, which show what can
be done in the way of intensive
farming in Boundary county, and re-
fleet great credit upon the work
of Miss Heberling and the contes-
tants, whom she has had enlisted in
the work of war production during
the summer months. The greater
part of the vegetables were turned
over to the Red Cross at the concl1
sion of the fair, and will be sold by
that organization to add to its
funds.
