Never before in our history hasthere been such a crop of small fruits and vegetables as will be produged this season. These, if we are not ex- tremely careful, will by their very profusion lead to waste. We must remember that every piece of frutt and every vegetable has a market value. True, we may not need them ourselves, but others will. There will be an urgent demand for every can of fruit and vegetables, and for every pound of the same that can be dried. 1 Families should, if necessary, make a little sacrifice of time and labor in order to save the overplus from the gardens and orchards and truck patches throughout the summer. . The government will be in, the market for enormous quantities of these goods and will in large measure absorb the output of the big can- neries. This will leave the local dealers to depend upon the small can- ners and individual families for their supplies. . It will greatly facilitate matters if neighborhoods will co-operate and establish small community canneries that can take care of the sur- plus fruits and vegttables as they accrue. But where this is not done EVERY FAMILY should follow a firm determination that NOTHING shall go to waste. THE USES OF THE LIBERTY LOAN To the American citizen who gives some consideration to features of his investments other than the mere mbney return from them, the uses to which the money raised by the sale of the Liberty Loan Bonds is to be devoted will prove a patriotic inducement to purchase sueh bonds. A certain dignity attaches to money.invested in a high and noble cause. The Liberty Loan is made by the United States government to pur- chase arms and equipment for American soldiers and sailors, food and supplies for the American army and navy. The money is to be spent in America for those .Americans who are fighting America’s battles on land and sea. , Part of the money raised by the sale of Liberty Loan Bonds is to be \v{ Joaned to our allies; this, too, is to be expended in America. It is to be 5 spent for food and supplies for the armies of our allies fighting on our ;{ side on the various war fronts in Europe. It is America’s first contri- E bution towards doing her part in the war we are eng?ged in. ___é» i= billions for defense in the world-wide war Autocracy is waging g. .1 I:emeeracy, but not one cent for tribute. ] |- : . g SIIQULD REGULATE FOOD PRICES g.demand all over the country for That demand calls | s an insictent and gr n of the price of all foodstuffs. wove for a n price which will protect the farmer or pro-| ducer. and a maximum price at which products may be retailed. In this manner the preducer will he encouraged to greater efforts, the consumer will be protected against extortion, and the price-juggling middle men and speculating baby robbers will be put out of business. This action can not come any too soon to suit either the producer, the retailer or the consumer. A subscriber writes in to know what he can do to aid the countn". He can do much.” Stop knocking the army, preach patriotism and op- . timism, and go to work and keep working. He will be an asset and not a millstone. ‘We suggest, however, that tramps would make “excellent dog meat this summer, and would be quite in line with our efforts at national economy. Sick ‘em! It strikes us some medium could win undying fame by calling up the shade of Dr. Tanner and getting his recipe for fasting. ——— UL TR LU UL LT L READY MONEY TALKS LOUD DURING g OUR MAY REDUCTION SALE We are making substantial rednétlons from the regular prices on business and residence lots during our May Sale.
