Hardships Ignored. Wounded Man

Tells Mother— Don’t Let Them
Hinder Your W ar Work
FARMS and ORCHARDS
By Mrs. Hazel Pedlar Faulkner
From a hospital somewhere la
France a wounded American has writ-
ten to his parent,:
"We are going through hardships,
but the hoy, a n taking hold In tha
good old American way.”
What a message (or those of us
who hare remained at hornet What
a challenge to the vast army of men
and women who are In the homa
guard, carrying on in the thousand
and one ways that the exigencies of
war have brought upon us.
"We are going through hardships."
Wo can believe that whe/i we re­
call the dauntless charges which our
hoys have been making over there,
and the daily lengthening casualty
lists which are resulting from their
fearless devotion to the task that la
set before them.
We know they are going through
hardships, when we stop to think of
the hundreds upon hundreds who are
wounded, and who for the time be­
ing at least need care and attention.
You Can’t Eat Meat

Preparing meat is only a part
of Swift & Company ’ 3 usefulness.
The finest meat in the world
wouldn’t do yo u any good one
hundred miles away from your
table.
Swift & Company efficiency has made
it possible to place complete lines of
products in the smallest and most remote
communities.
To be sure the work is done well
Swift & Company, through its branch
houses and car route's, bring3 the meat to
the retail dealer for you.
Swift & Company lays out car routes
covering towns—big, little, medium sire
—which are not served by a Swift
branch house.
Salesmen find out in advance what is
wanted by the dealers in every town.
They are followed by refrigerator cars
loaded with retailers’ orders, which are
delivered at each town—fresh, clean, and
sweet—once or twice each week.
Swift & Company operates a large
number of car routes like this, from four­
teen distributing plants.
This is a necessary and natural part
of the packers’ usefulness. It fits into
the industry in an orderly, effective way.
It makes better meat cheaper from one
end of the land to the other.

FIENDISH ENEMY
ADDS TERRORS
Of course they are going through
hardships. those boys from your
home and mine. Hardships are a
part of war. They are the inevitable
result of a state of war. And when
war is waged by an enemy so skilled
in all the fiendish deviltries In
which the Germans have indulged,
they are the inescapable portion of
eve: y scHler participating.
But hardships are not the part of
the war these soldiers of ours are
thinking most about. They are but
the incidents in the day’s work.
"The boys are taking hold in the
good old American way.”
Could there be a better statem ent
of their manner of facing what comes
to them ’ Could there be a more def­
inite course of action prescribed for
those of us at home d iring these
days which test the mettle of our
souls’
The time for our message to the
boys has come acain. The Fourth
Liberty Loan is to be our response
to this wounded soldier’s challenge.
M A K E YOUR
ANSWER NOW
Are we going to take hold in the
“good old American way?”
We have not had to go through
hardships —ours have been an easier
p=rt. We have known little of sacri­
fice or deprivation. Compared with
the offering of our boys, we have
done nothing as yet. And now, here
is the challepee sounded to us.
The good cld American way is all
that is a»ked of us. What is that
way?
You must frame the answer, moth­
ers and sisters of the west. Youra
is an Important part in the reply
which the nation will make to the
boys overseas. There Is not one of
us who would not spare her Bon If
she could—yes, even spare some
other mother's son the pain and
hardship he must bear. W’e are not
asked to do that. We could not,
though we would.
But we ran make his part easier to
bear, we can go with him through
the hardships, by lending completely
of onr money.
