SOLDIERS WANT
MINCE PIE
"Like Mother Used to Make"

Along tie lines of the military encamp-
ments, mince pie proves to be prime favor
lite with the boys in khaki-from the noble
little private straight up to the commanding
officer all affirm it great eats" They want
the kind they used to get at home.
And as one piece of mince pie goes long
way toward meal, the efficient American
housewife is not slow to appreciate that
she can turn this to advantage in her own
home.
NONE SUCH MINcE MEAT is made just as
the best housewife makes the best mince
meat in her own kitchen. The package
recipes are good for pies, cakes, buildings,
and cookies.
Bake NONE SUCH War Pie-no top
crust. Saves -four, shortening, labor, money
half the crust. Good, too. In this way
you help the U. S. Food Administration.
For economy None SUCH is the leader,
for it comes in a parafin-lined package
which prevents waste, and is cheaper than
bulk mince meat bought by the pound.
The package weight increases three times
its weight when the necessary moisture is
added. 1t costs only few cents-is abso-
lutely clean and keeps like fruit cake.

ADDRESS OF JEWISH RABBI
WELL RECEIVED; DISCUSSED
zIONISM AND DEMOCRACY
Should Be Permitted To Work Out Its Own
Salvation; Future of Palestine

Palestine The British government
declared for the restoration of Pales-
tine to the Jews. The grand event
was the capture of Jerusalem by the
British The allies of Great Britain
Italy and France, were likewise in
favor of restoring Palestine to the
Jewish race The United States gov
eminent was in full sympathy with
this movement Palestine would be-
come a home for the Jewish people
but all other peoples would be ac-
corded equal rights and equal priv
leges.
Rabbi Deinard declared that for the
last hundred years the Jewish peo
pie as people had been losing
ground. That was one reason for the
ardent desire on the part of Jewish
leaders to see Palestine restored to
the Jews. The Jewish people of late
had been falling away and going into
other folds. Hundreds of thousands
of Jewish people were being lost to
Jewish church. Many had become
Christian Scientists. In the various
lands where they dwelt the Jews
were in the minority and they could
not resist the pressure of the major
ity. That was why the Jews were
losing ground.
national character that was distinct
ly their own. They had given the
world the Bible and the God whom
the civilized world worshipped He
believed the Jews were still capable
of achievement along their own lines
Zionism meant, as far as their OVID
people was concerned, the realization
of a great aim for which America
Great Britain and France were strug-
Cling in the great war, and that was
the establishment of the right Of
self determination of each people bv
itself, the right of a people to work
out it's own destiny Each nation
should have the right to live it's own
peculiar life. Thus each in its turn
could make it's contribution to the
| sum total of the progress of humani-
| ty. The Jew in the future would
show his gratitude as he did in the
past. when he had the opportunity.
Two Guardians Of Democracy.
Rabbi Deinard said that after the
great war had made democracy safe
the world over, there would be two
great guardians of democracy, Amer
lea in the new world and Great Brit
tain in the old world. He said the
Jewish nation might well be placed
as buffer state at the gateway of the
Suez canal That canal must be pro-
| tected, so the rights and privileges
of all nations at the canal could be
| insured.
Rev. T. r. Paden, pastor of the
church said he wished he could FIND
words to express the gratitude thai
he was sure the gathering felt to-
wards Rabbi Deinard for this eloquen
address. He proposed that vote OF
thanks be extended TO the speaker
This was done by a unanimous risine
vote. Rev. Paden thanked all who had
attended and the meeting adjourned.

Claimed League Was Welcomed.
In Montana, the speaker said, the
farmers were welcoming the league
on every side, and were looking upon
it as saving element in the state.
Butte, as a city, was the poorest city
in the nation. the Standard Oil COM
pany owns practically everything and
with it's $5O,O0O,00O valuation pays s
per cent of the taxes while the farm
,ers with $85,000,000 valuation pay 50
per cent of the taxes. Last month
there were twenty people buried by
the city, and 200 families were hav-
ing their rent paid by the city. "And
here" he stated, Il was accused of
making disloyal remarks. That's the
way they fight us-when we make
these statements, they use disloyalty
as a weapon against u.s.
He wanted the farmers to see more
and more that their children must
have better opportunities, and looked
upon organization as the only means
toward this end. At the close of the
meeting several of the farmers
answered by pledging subscriptions.
During the course of the address
the Stars and Stripes were laid over
the table, near which Mr.. Marten
spoke, and the speaker wanted
everyone to know that he had little
time for the man who would not
stand by the president. He wanted
everyone to carry with him the con-
viction that the league was loyal.
The Membership Fee.
During the course of his remarks
the speaker mentioned that much was
being said about the SIC fee asked of
farmers in joining, and added that if
the Commercial club of an average
city would compute its fees and ex-
ira costs for the members, there
would not be material difference in
the membership costs of the organiza-
, lions.
