OUR SOLDIERS
Did NOT LET UP
And the Nation Will Show 1t
Stays With Them in The "Vic-
torious Fifth" Liberty Loan.

Two million Of Uncle Sans boys
are over there looking after the com
mon good Of the world at large.
Incidently after the interests Of
the United States of America.
And they will have to stay upon
the Job until 1t is done. Until things
are righted again. Until order is
brought out Of chaos
This may be only two or three
months longer. It may be as many
years.
But while they are there they must
be taken care Of adequately. They
must be clothed and fed and lodged
comfortably. We don't want a death
list in camp greater than was suffered
in action.
We want those boys TO come back;
every possible one OF them
Uncle Sam estimates that 1t costs
s423.27 year to equip and maintain
a soldier in Europe. So II they remain
a year 1t means approximately 81
000, 100000 And every added month
will mean proportionately more.
Part of the proceeds from the com
ing Victorious Fifth" Liberty Loan
will be devoted to this end. Part OF
II will go into the rehabilitation fund
for putting the injured soldiers back
upon their feet. Part OF IL will go for
insurance claims. The rest will go to
meet the hundred and one other de-
mands of this greatest of void emer-
gencies since the dawn OF civiliza-
ton.
Every mothers son Of them did his
part. helped insure liberty and justice
for the world at large and restore
Uncle Sam TO his rightfu position in
the estimation Of the nations OF
earth.
They did their duty fully, these boys
who won. They stsid TO the very end
through nre and food. They never
talked about letting up.
This ia no time for Americans to
think OF letting up.
We must stand by our guns; by our
records: by Uncle Sam.
We must make the next loan anoth-
er big success.

BIG FOOD SUPPLY NEGLECTED.
Writer Points Out How Great Savings

Nuts are the best Of all tree crops
because of their high food value, their
long keeping qualities and the long
life of the trees. But there are many
other tree crops almost entirely neg
lected by us. In tropical countries the
food Of whole nations is largely de-
rived from tree fruits, both for man
and animal The bread fruit. the
banana, the avocado, the pawpaw, the
carob, the fig. are examples. But with
such fruits MS the American pawpaw,
the persimmon, the mulberry. the

Tally for animals Doctor Smith
says that our d0meStlcated animals
eat about nine-tenths Of our food
crops and that we spend Il large part
of our time waiting on these animals.
Why not make our hogs and chickens,
for example, walt on themselves by
having good crop trees, many of which
keep dropping their fruit over a large
period of time under which we can
pasture them? In Portugal they en-
tirely fatten their pigs on acornS and
