RED CROSS SERVING DIsCHARC.

Say, Sam, did you ever get that
Liberty bond you paid for?"

~"
This conversation or one like it, Is
taking place these days between hun
dreds of pals" in the service, or
just discharged from It. Various
difficulties have been experienced by
soldiers in getting the bonds for
which they have paid.
To overcome this condition the
American Red Cross has come to the
rescue. All any soldier who wants
his bond needs to do henceforth il to
inform a representative Of the Red
Cross. Practically any contingency
causing delay has been guarded
against.
The soldier must give the represen-
tative all the information he can
and leave the rest to the association,
which will take up the matter and
see that prompt delivery is made
through registered mail
The method is this, in brief: The
soldier assigns the delivery of his
bond to the Red Gross representa-
tive, who obtains 1t from the bond
section Of the zone finance office and
delivers It to the owner.
This Is one Of the many services of
this great organization which is soon
to conduct a third rob call to gain
money and members to keep up its
work permanently.

IT PAYS TO CARE
FOR farm MACHINERY
Neglect Of Implements Causes One
OF the Biggest Leaks in Farm.
Ing Business.

One OF the biggest leaks in the
farming business is caused nv the
lack OF care given farm implements
and machinery, according to E. B. Do
ran. assistant professor of agronomy
Louisiana State University. THE
care of farm machinery says Mr..
Doran, means ~ protecting It from
the weather; (2) seeing that 1t IL
fre9erly operated, well fabricated
and doing only the work for which II
was built; and 81 making sure that
1t is at all times in good working
order for the sake of the machine
itself and to avoid loss of time IN
the field.
The necessity for taking good
care OF farm implements is more u.
tai now than ever before. The prices
are high and materials are scarce
even though the war is over. And the
probabilities are that this condition
will continue for several years
longer.
Assist in the period of recon-
struction by conserving farm equip
ment. Put money in your pocket by
taking care of your farm implements.
Isn't that kind of money making as
worth while as some other kinds?"
