DEAR FOLKS:

l all weeks in the year
 when all of us pull our selves together and try to > qualify under the banner . PURITY"
 The occasion calls for seri- ous thought as regards our conduct in both our business and private affairs. | I think we all realize now that Business is not exempt from the Moral Code.
 It has to carry the banner of PURITY" if it is to get any where in public esteem. 1 wish to call your attention to the fact that this word PURITY" consists of six letters and fits in with the Cycle of Six which plays so big a part in the Wilson & Go. bus mess.
 But I want to tell you also that while all of the other things that enter into the Cycle of Six are important, not one of them has the place in the Real Heart of the Wilson & Go. organiza- ton that the word PURITY" has. The officials and the 25,000 workers are all impressed with the importance of PURITY" in food production.
 Producing PURE FOODS is the business of Wilson & Co.,, and officials and workers re- alize that there is no closer re- lationship in all the world be- tween any form of business and the peoples than that of dis- pensing PURE FOOD.
 The Wilson & Go. organization has fitted itself to produce PURE FOODS by establishing within itself those relations be- tween officials and workers that are necessary to bring absolute confidence in one an other and to work on the big princi- pie of giving one another as we'll as the public a SQUARE DEAL, which to my notion is one of the highest forms of ''PURITY."
 Does not this spirit influence their thoughts and actions, and does it not make them put Honor in their work? PURITY" in foods is essential, just as PURITY" in all else that makes life useful, helpful, clean and unsel- fish, is necessary.
 Shall we unite during this week our PURE FOOD THOUGHTS with our other thoughts, eliminating Sunday morning next with fine breakfast of ham and eggs or bacon and eggs? It is one of the traditions of Easter Sunday-as old as the hills-that we shall observe the day, so far as our physical needs are concerned, by stuffing ourselves with eggs anyway but starting the day always with slice of fine ham or slivers of bacon- Don't you remember as boys and girls.
 back on the farm, how you hunted hens nests long before Easter and gathered great numbers of eggs for
 that day?
 Most of you are so situated now that YOU can't gather eggs as in the old days.
 YOU HAVE TO BUY THEM. Wouldn't you like to be SURE that you could buy as good eggs as you used to find in the hens nest? Let me tell you that you can buy sucn eggs Go to your dealer this week and ask for CLEARBROOK EGGS. sold by Wilson & Co. under the slogan -THE | WILSON LABEL PROTECTS YOUR TABLE"
 They will measure up to your expecta- tions as to what Easter eggs should be. Then ask the same dealer to let you have some of the Wilson & Co. CF,RTI- FEED HAM AND BACON-recently in troduced through dealers in all secuonS

ment of 46 and Mrs. Gibbs as
teacher. We were later than
usual in beginning this term on
account of the illness of our
teacher, everything seems to
be going forward now and we

good teacher. You see she told
us we were good children and
we mean to live up to her eX-
