LOYAL LEAGUE
 BULLETIN
FOoD-AND THE CUR

A few days ago submarine de- stroyed ship load of wheat which was enroute to France, to be used for the purpose feeding thousands of little orphaned children.
 On the same day and date, here in this great country of ours many well-intentioned persons might be seen thoughtlessly feeding good wholesome food to some worthless dog: food that might be used to nourish the bodies and develop the minds of those little orphan waifs, and if so nourished many of them would no doubt become useful citizens.
 It would be claiming too much to say that all would grow up to be either great men or noble women, yet the least among them would be greater than useless dog.
 There are four distinct motives be- hind this little communication-i
 First: A patriotic desire to answer the call of our government in tho mat ter of food conservation.
 Second: A love of children.
 Third A keen sense of sorrow for all suffering.
 Fourth: A long -esta blished dislike for 8 worthless cur when met with in either the human family or the animal kingdom. THOS. MCMAHON.
