ISLANDER TELLS
OF GETTING FIT

L was hit by a 75-mile gun, -
writes Private Elmer Ransom, a
brother OF Miss Edna Ransom, 306
Fourteenth street to George W.
Stephenson, manager of the Watch
Tower park, but am recovering
nicely"
This letter, received today, reliev-
ed much anxiety on the part Of Miss
Ransom, who has been attempting,
through the American Red Cross,
to learn how or to what extent her
brother was wounded, she having
received first word of his being in
jured in a letter written by him.
In that message he stated that he
was recovering from wounds sus-
tanned in action.
Private Ransom continues to say
in the letter received by Mr.. Ste
phenson that the Americans have
the Germans on the run. He says
that it seems hard to have to stay
in the hospital while the bullets
are whistling by overhead and the
other lads are fighting.
His letter contains many inter
esting remarks. He ends it by say
ing, Il hope we wind it up soon and
give those Germans all they de
serve"

AT ARSENAL CLUB

Harold K. Peat, the Private Peat
Of the First Canadian contingent,
who spent two years on the west
ern front, where he was severely
injured, will lecture at the Daven-
port Arsenal Workers club Mon

Private Peat passed through most
Of the horrible experiences which
war brings. He was one of the Ca
nadians who helped hold the line
againsl the first fierce onslaught OF
the Germans. He was gassed at
Ypres, was wounded and lay two
nights and a day in the open before
the stretcher bearers found him.
He has been an eyewitness to Ger
man atrocities and has heard Ger
man lies from the mouths of Prus-
slams.
The manner in which Private
Peat tells of his experiences has
made him a favOrite among the lee
turers who have returned from the
front. He tells his story in deadly
earnest, but with humor. the spirit
Of adventure and the enthusiasm
of youth
The lecture will be open to all
Rock Island arsenal workers.

EAT VEGETABLES
AND SO CONSERVE
FOOD FOR ALLIES

United States has taken upon it
self the burden of feeding the
world. There are no two ways to
do this; there is no magical way in
which TO produce food; a certain
amount is produced and no more.
1t remains for the people Of the
whole country to save In a big way.
This means that the people in e.,
cry shop and every kitchen OF the
land must do their part. The more
food saved at home the more there
will be to send to the allies.
BY saving food it is not meant
that the Americans must starve
themselves and go without that
which is needed. There are many
ways in which food can be pre-
pared that will save those products
that are so necessary to the well
fare of the soldiers and the people
of the allied countries.
Many products are scarce because
they are sent out OF the country in
such huge quantities that little re-
mains to be distributed throughout
the land 1t became necessary for
the citizens Of the states TO come
forth with new recipes by which
