of direct aid to tho government that

the unanimous sentiment that as a
war measure to conserve food and
to stimulate an increased production
of sheep in the nation, a heavy tax
should be imposed on all dogs by
the National Congress. If the form
ers of Putnam County believe tha.
this law should be imposed, and
that ii would encourage the raising
of sheep in the county, suggest
that you write to your Congressmer
and Senators urging the passage of
said bill and their, support of same
Under a new ruling regarding the

houses on Mondays, grocery stores
burning coal or oil. may sell food

until Tuesday morning.
Tho Federal Food Administrator at
Nashville suggests that in order to
increase hog production and relieve
the. food shortage, thai all towns
suspend temporarily their ordinanc-
es prohibiting the keeping Of hogs
within the corporation limits. Our
Mayor, in compliance with this or

know of no work that more
beautifully exemplifies the spirit cf
the Christ life than that being done
by the Red Cross. It transmutes
into action the Messianic prophecy
of Isaiah, HE hath sent me to bind
up the broken hearted; to comfort
all that mourn; to give unto them
beauty for ashes. the oil of joy for
mourning, the garment of praise for
the spirit of heaviness."
Nothing will please me more than
for every woman in my church to
render unstinted service in this
noble work, unless it would be for
every man to give up to his ability.
