This week a house to house canvass is being made by several women in the village under the direction of act­ ing Food Chairman Miss Ethel Owen of this village, and complete returns will be made by Wednesday of next week. She will make a canvass of Ring- wood Monday, while Miss E. Thelen, with her helpers, will canvass Johns- burg and vicinity. The definite object of the Hoover plan, in asking housewives to observe wheatless and meatless days, is to re­ lease certain commodities for the use of the armies of our own nation and our allies over seas. People are not asked to eat less, but to substitute in place of these foods, for lack of which thousands in Europe are. starving, so when the member^ of the food com­ mittee call at your homes do not ques­ tion the expediency of the food admin­ istrator, but do your part by pledging yourself to follow the suggestions mapped out for the conservation of foods. Thanks I take this public manner of ex­ pressing my sincere thanks to- the public of this village and the territory I have supplied for the patronage ex­ tended the Riverside, dairy during the years that the business has been owned and operated by me.'- I also hope that the same generous patron­ age will be given my successor, Al. Krause, whom I herewith recommend to you as a courteous, hpnest and hustling business man. A. P. Fraud. Red Cross Notes Thirty-two workers were in attend­ ance Friday afternoon. The West Side Card club sent in a donation of $2.00 to the chapter, which is deeply appreciated. Letters and messages of apprecia­ tion for knitted articles were sent to the chapter by R. T. Wray and P. J. Dorr. Chapters are asked to forward all supplies weekly. Knitted goods are needed in immense quantities. Bundles of old linen are asked for, such as is not usable for napkins, etc. Just roll and mark "Old linen." The war tea, given by Mrs. D. G. Wells, proved a delightful affair. The proceeds amounted to $21.30, which sum was placed in the treasury Friday afternoon. A vote of thanks was extended Mrs. Wells and a record of same placed on the minutes of the meeting. The 1917 Red Cross seal campaign will begin Monday, Nov. 26. Money derived from this Christmas sale will be used largely for the treatment of soldiers afflicted with tuberculosis, which has become the chief medical problem of the war, aside from the treatment of those wounded in battle. New members are being added each week. A Christmas membership drive to add ten million names to the roster of the American Red Cross will begin December 17 and end on Christ­ mas eve. Theodore N. Vail, president of the American Telephone & Tele­ graph Co. fa committee chairman. More Sweaters Needed The war council of the American Red Cross recently sent the following statement to all; division managers? "It is imperative that all of the sweaters, wristlets and socks that can possibly be made by the women of the country should be turned in to the supply department at the earliest pos­ sible date. With the cold weather com­ ing on, the demand, for sweaters espe­ cially, has been' beyond the capacity of all our resources to supply. We have forwarded promptly all knitted articles received from the chapters and have in addition been compelled to buy in the market 550,000 sweaters, of which about 250,000 have been deliv­ ered. These sweaters are machine knit and the yarn used is a mixture of cotton and wool, so that it does not withdraw any considerable amount of yarn from the women knitters of the Red Cross. We are buying all the yarn we are able to secure that is suitable for knitters and sending it out to the chapters as fast as we can get delivery of it. We have received from the chapters 200,000 sweat­ ers, approximately the same num­ ber of machine made sweaters, all of which have been delivered to the men in the camps and training stations, "with the exception of a few thousand which we have had to send to France. The requests of our 'organization in France for sweaters and knitted goods have had to remain unsatisfied on ac­ count of our inability to secure enough for men in our own army and navy^ We call upon the women to give us their very best effort from now until at least January 1, that we may be able to furnish our men with these comforts and have some to spare for the dire needs in France." Your Garden Next Year The Illinois state council of defense, with a view of increasing the next year's food supply, is urging home gardeners to prepare now for raising a maximum of garden produce in 1918. It is a program in which the national department of agriculture is also active. "Begin at once the preparation of your home garden," is the word from the state council. "You can do this by supplying the soil with decay­ ing vegetable material, stable manure and other fertilizers." Dead leaves are suggested by the department of agriculture as valuable sources of humus and plant food; coal ashes, toa. fait Si Meat M The place that took the (HIGH) out of the High Cost of Meats $ & i -OUR SPECIALS FOR- Friday, Nov. 30, and Satuurday, Dec. 1, are: fM RETAIL PRICES Hoover says lard is worth 36c per lb.
