It will be sold at actual cost to
needy families, no one family to
be allowed more than one ton,

the distribution should give their
order at once to either of the

The recent cold snap probably
set a new mark in the matter of
low temperatures for this

a northern exposure registering
4 degrees below zero, the reports
of other observers being from

very cold weather business has
been very dull for the past few
days which gives the merchants
ample opportunity for their
annual inventories.
Now for Rabbit Sausage.
"The rabbit is receiving consideration
in many quarters,"
says the State food administration.
"Australia has converted
this farm pest into food and today
frozen rabbits take third
place in her exports. Housekeepers
have discovered, too,
the value of the rabbit which
can be roasted, fried, stewed,
potted or turned into a pie?in
fact, used just like chicken.
Here is a recipe for rabbit:
sausage which came from Oklahoma:
Rabbit Sausage?Take healthy
rabbits, young or old, dress and
soak over night in salt water.
Wash thoroughly. Cut the meat
off the bone and grind very fine
in food chopper. To one pound
of meat use one-quarter of a
; medium onion, two tablespoons
' cracker crumbs, three quarters
teaspoon salt, one-half teaspoon
biack pepper, pinch of cayenne
pepper and one-eighth of a cup
of milk. Chop onion fine with a
knife. Mix all ingredients
thoroughly, let stand for several
hours, make into cakes and fry,

t>?ie of your most pressing probU
-s and one to be,acted upon without
lelav, is the matter of obtaining your
fertilizer.
In spite of the best efforts of the
manufacturers and the Government,
materials for making fertilizers are
^scarce nnd high in price. Therefore,
it is all the .more necessary that what
fertilizers are to be distributed, should
be used upon soil that has received the
very best preparations the farmer Is
capable of giving.
The mobilization of our army, requiring
a maximum movement of
troop tra'ns and supply trains, has over-taxed
the capacity of our railroads
as never before, nnd in order for fertilizers
to be distributed this season,
the movement must of necessity, begin
early and the unloading of cars
at destination be done with utmost
despatch. Kvery car must be loaded
to canaclty.
Today fertilizers are cheaper than
farm crops or farm labor. A bale of
cotton, a bushel of corn, oats or
wheat, will buy more pounds of fertil ers
now than ever before, hence to
assure the performance of a patriotic
lutv. with great profit to yourself, or
