Have You Done Your Share?

Have You Done Your Share?
Have you relative who is lost

know of neighbors who need help bad
ly in the way of supps rt ard chance
to get started SO that they can make
their own way? Are there old and
infirm people around you who need
better care? Are there hayward
girls around you that you know of
who need the chance to come back
and make good under proper sur
roundings? Do you know of inno-
cent girls who have been betrayed and
need attention and care under the
best of surroundings
All these things and many more the
Salvation Army are doing around ev-
cry day. Working almost without
pay and quietly and efficiently they
are doing wonderful work all over
the country. And the class of work
our soldier boys bless them for is no
more needed than the work they so
we'll perform today.
They have always needed some
money to carry on this work. Their
larger program for the coming year
will take more. And because of the
record they have made the people Of
Iowa have agreed to back them up
and have appointed advisory boards
of responsible citizens in each county
to raise this budget and to see that
lit is efficiently spent so that the prop
err good will come of it for each coun-
Ity.

Board has worked hard to line this
county up. The coming Saturday

LOW GRADE WHEAT FOR FEED
tening Material as Corn, But
More Protein.

If your wheat grades very low. you
should consider whether it is not
worth more TO you for feeding pur
poses. At the present prices of feeds,
wheat should be worth $50 per
buShel for feed, particularly If there
is some dockage in 1t. Wheat does
not contain quite as much fattening
material as corn, but more protein,
which is the milk producing and grow
ing substance. For this reason Ii
makes an excellent feed for milk for
COWS as part of the grain ration.
1t also will make a good feed for pigs.
