Just a Few Words to Our Friends and 



Patrons 



I 



We wish to impress upon ytju, tlic alisolulc and imperative (hit\ 

 it is for one and all, to answer onr nation's call, during the national 

 crisis that is now confronting us. If we are unable to shoulder the 

 gun to the front, let us shoulder the spade to every available plot 

 where we can grow our vegetables, then wc have done our duty. 



Without food we cannot reach our goal. Our soldiers will starve 

 unless we will do our hit for their existence. If every family, that has 

 access to a small plot, will devote their spare moments either in the 

 morning or evening to the necessary cultixation that growing plants 

 require, then we will have no cause to worr}- nor fear starvation. 

 I^EiM EMBER that l-'OOD is just as important as any other matter 

 L'XCLE S.\M needs to maintain his army. 



Will You Join Our Agricultural Regiment? 



Recreation after business hours and economy 

 in growing your own vegetables.
