Okolona, Miss,
My Dear Mrs. Jansen:
Each American soldier over
seas has received from his Com.
manding Officer, one Christmas
Parcel Label, which he will mail
home to the person that he
wishes to fill his box. Recipients
of these labels will take them to
the nearest Home Service Sec
tion Station. where upon show
ing the liable received, will be
given a carton, which is to be
taken home, and filled and re-
turned not later than November
18th, to the place where this
carton was given out from.
Each Chapter will receive its
quota of cartons from the Divi-
sion as soon as possible. The
Home Service Section will re-
ceive not only the cartons to be
delivered to the people that have
these labels, but also will be
given a number of cards en-
closed in envelopes. These cards
Iare to be filed out by the one
sending the carton abroad. On
this card will be the name
of the person to whom the
box is to be sent, and the name
of the person sending the box.
Then the person sending the box
will paste this envelope flap on
the box, SO that when this box
is turned back to the Home Ser
vice Section Station it will be on
the box.
The responsibility for the in
spection of these filled cartons is
to be placed upon the. Chairman
of Women's Work. You should
therefore Immediately arrange
for the appointment of your in
spection committees in every
branch and auxiliary of your
chapter. All these cartons after
being inspected in either branch,
auxiliary or chapter headquarters
will then be turned over to the
Post Master by your inspection
committee in each branch or
auxiliary. These boxes do not
have to come back into chapter
headquarters to be inspected.
The final inspection takes place
in the branch or auxiliary.
Therefore, you must see that you
have the most competent women
placed on the inspection COM
mittee.
These boxes can be inspected
either right at the receiving
stations after all of the boxes
have been turned in, or have a
work room in each one of your
branches and auxiliaries put
aside for that, and all boxes sent
there from the Home Service
Section in that branch or
auxiliary.
See that supplies of wrapping1
paper and twine are on hand. Then
give alist of inspectors to each
Post Master where these cartons
viii be delivered, also obtain
from your Post Master the rates
by Parcel Post to Hoboken, N. I
j., and advise your INSPECTORS Of
that rate, as they are to put on

The sender of the package is to
pay the ccst of sending the box. !

SIRES AND THEIR GETS
AMONG THE EXHIBITS

Calamity Jane will not be at the
National Dairy Show at Columbus,
Ohio, October 1919 this year.
Calamity Jane attracted more at.
tention year ago in ten days than in
all the three years of her earlier ex.
perience.
But Calamity Jane is dead.
She has gone the way of many an.
other Improbable COW.
She was one of the 5000, 900 cows in
the United States which eat more
than they produce. They may give a
little milk, night or morning, but in
reality they milk their owner. It is
part of the purpose of the Dairy Show
to inspire farmers and dairymsn
everywhere to know exactly what each
COW in their herd f. doing and whether
or not it is a profitable investment.
Among the exhibits which impress
this lesson will be series Of sires
and their gets. showing how intell.-
gent breeding increases the output aid
consequently the profit of each gGdsr-
stion Of cows.

SWISS CHEESE Tow
MADE IN AMERICA

There was day when Swiss
cheese made in America" was sup
posed to be a joke. That day has
passed. One of the most interesting
and informing exhibits which will
characterize the National Dairy Show
at Columbus, Ohio, October 1919, will
be several tons of cheeses made in
this country after famous formulate
which have old world reputation.
Swiss cheese, Roquefort, Formage de
Brie and Limberger cheese are all
made in the United States better and
more cheaply than they ever were
made in Europe. An air of quaint
ness will be given the exhibition by
having it in charge uf young women
CARRIED in the costume of the coun-
tries which once produced these
cheeses for the American table.
High cheese of this sort may be con-
sidered war industry. American man
ufacturers have made such progress
that aside from the fact that European
dairy herds are depleted almost to the
point of extinction, it is doubtful
whether European manufacturers will
be able in many years to come to
get back the market they formerly
enjoyed in the United States.

BILE the National Dairy Show which
will be held this year in this state in
this city, October 1919.
Uncle Sam has expressed his ap-

$4,000 and by assigning number of
his leading experts to take charge Of
the educational work at the show.
The State of Ohio through its Board
OF Agriculture, and the city through
its Chamber Of Commerce, are eombin-

make success of the event ecljpsing
