GLEANINGS IN BEE CL'LTUSE 



November, 1918 



THROUGH mud and rain, 

 through gas and shrapnel, our 

 boys are pushing on to Victory It's 

 a task that tries the souls of strong 

 men. They 7nust have rest and 

 recreation. 



At the canteens, they buy the 

 little comforts of life at cost. In the 

 war-service huts, they find every- 

 thing needful to write the letters 

 you receive. They attend a show, 

 see a "movie" or hear good music 

 — all free. Always, they find in the 

 hut secretary a friend. They for- 

 get for a little while the grim scenes 

 of war and return to duty refreshed. 

 These are some of the things that 

 keep fighting men at top notch. 



YOURS is the task of growing 

 the food these fighting men 

 must have. The toiHng millions 

 in the munition factories, arsenals 

 and shipyards also look to you for 

 sustenance. And they do not look 

 in vain. 



Your work is vital to winning 

 the war and you are doing it man- 

 fully, mindful of Country, forgetful 

 of self. You are working early 

 and late, putting forth your strength 

 unsparingly. You have produced 

 bounteous crops that feed a hungry 

 world. Yet to you are spared the 

 comforts of home and the presence 

 of loved ones. Yours are the privi- 

 leges of earning and giving. 



Give to "keep good men good and brave men strong." 

 Give to bring cheer to those who are daring their 

 all for you and yours. And when the boys come 

 home victorious, you can honestly say, "I have done 

 my part, too. I have backed you to the limit."
