says the sturdy 

 American patriot 

 to the war-ruined 

 French farmers. 



The farmers of France 

 need your help. They have 

 lost everything. When the 

 German army retreated, 

 they devastated the entire 

 countryside. No living 

 thing remained — no trees, 



no crops, no animals, no birds. Wells were poisoned, buildings 

 ruined, families scattered, men murdered, women worse than killed, 

 children crippled. 



To these innocent victims of a nation's lust, the new Overseas Acre Fund 

 will supply food, clothing, farming implements, fertilizer, seeds, live-stock, 

 building materials. Every gift will be marked — "Given with gratitude and 

 good-will from the Farmers of America to the Farmers of France." 



The picture tells the story as no words can do — the sturdy 

 American farmer encouraging his war-racked brother of 

 France to renewed effort for home, family, and life itself. 



An opportunity will be given for all American farmers to subscribe the product of 

 an acre to the Overseas Acre Fund when the national campaign is launched next 

 March. Keep it in mind!
