WALNUT WILL WIN THE WAR

recently bowed their 

 leafy heads to the needs 

 of their country. For 

 twenty years the wom- 

 en of the congregation 

 had opposed all at- 

 tempts to have the trees 

 removed. Twenty years 

 ago the trustees of the 

 church decided to sell 

 the trees. The women 

 protested. While ef- 

 forts were being made 

 to come to a decision, 

 some stranger offered 

 the trustees a sum equal 

 to the value of the for- 

 est giants provided they 

 were allowed to stand 

 until the timber was 

 actually needed. No 

 one today knows the 

 name of the man who proved to be such a benefactor 

 to America and saved the walnut mammoths until this 

 hour of need. Get your walnut trees into the fight ! 



OFF TO THE GUN FACTORY 



This load of gun stock "flitch" is going to help the boys in France bring home the

Your country needs 

 them ! That is the mes- 

 sage which whirrs 

 from the propeller of 

 every American or Al- 

 lied airplane as it 

 starts after a flock of 

 Boche fliers who may 

 be on their way to 

 bomb a hospital. That 

 is the message whiz- 

 zed from every bullet 

 that speeds from an 

 American gun to help 

 crush militarism and 

 bring justice and right- 

 eousness to the war- 

 ridden world. No one 

 surely can fail to heed 

 the call.

WIN WITH WALNUT! 



The American flier and the American fighter are counting on those back home to turn out many great piles of walnut like this to furnish the 

 whirling propellers which will send them forward over the enemy's lines and the gun stocks in whose strength they trust.
