better today and hope everybody
is all O. K. Well, the war news looks
good?hope it will soon close. I wish
I was only back in Newberry, I would
throw a rock at work for a while; I
would spend two weeks in Newberry
and the balance on the road. By the
way, have they stopped autos from
running: there yet? I am going xo
have one when I get back. I only wish
I could tell the news I know; as It is

short?don't know much to tell. I

Dear Club Member:
You are already rendering a splendid
service to your country in the,
production of corn, wheat and other
crops; also pigs and calves, which is
so necessary 10 uie material prosperity
of our country, and to the winning
of the war. Xow comes another
appeal for service.
The Gas Defence Division of the i
United States army is very anxious
indeed to obtain all shells of black
walnuts, butter nuts, hickory nuU
and seeds of such stone fruits as
peaches, cherries, prunes etc., for the
purpose of making charcoal to be
used in gas masks for our soldiers.
i
You can add another important
service to our country by collecting
sucn stones ana seeas as are wameu
by the Gas Defence Division of the
United States army, and turn them
over to your local branch of the Red
Cross for ?hipment. In performing
this duty you will be engaged in-nc
small matter, as you may be savin?
the lives of many of our gallant soldiers
(perhaps your own brother or
some other near relative) in protecting
them from the deadly fumes of
the enemy's gas shells.
I am confident that you will respond
to those in the past, remembering that
