The Satoger Nets. 13 SAWYER, KANSAS, FRIDAY, MAY 31, 1918 NO. 29 The Spirit of Che world Cryfood! Cultivate the Soil. BALED TOO GREEN. Edward A.

Peden, Federal Food Administrator for Texas, has written to Walter P. Innes, Federal Food AdminIstrator for Kansas, asking that farmers of this state dry their alfalfa hay before baling. "While I appreciate you are entirely familiar with the alfalfa situation In Kansas," writes Mr. Penden, "you probably are not aware of the extent of controversies and rejections by Texas consignees this past season on account of alfalfa being baled too green or while damp from dew or showers.

"I have received a letter from one of the Texas county administrators in which he says, 'I read in the papers yesterday where about 1,000,000 acres of alfalfa would be cut in the state of Kansas during the next three weeks. It occurs to me there ought to be some- All Came Across As said last week, the people of this vicinity responded promptly and liberally to the call for Cross Donations.

H. T. Ige is buying lots of old thing done to keep this bay from be ing baled too green, for such prao tice means a very large loss of French homes have not baked bread for hundreds of years. They have not even ovens nor baking tins in their kitchens. They rely on the bakery.

It you ask them to bake their own bread--for the bakery cannot supply quick breads--the women of France must add another hour to their long day of toll. WIll you ask them to do that? Or shall our homes carry the extra burden of doing without wheat! Going without wheat is perhaps more expense, certainly more work. Not a hardship but a burden. Who shall bear the burden? Shall we ask the women of France to do it? Do you know what It means to them? The women of France are doing their own work, doing the nation's work, even doing the work of teams in the field. The men are gone -all but the younger boys, the aged and the invalids.

In almost every home is a cripple or one dying of tuberculosis-an added care.

It is surprising the amount of scrap iron there is in the country. Some places there is an ace cumulation of many years. People simply will not pick it up and bring it to town, but Mr.

Igo goes out and gathers it up himself as well as paying for it. All seent willing to sell if they do not have to handle the stuff themselves. Scrap iron is in great demand and brings a good price and the man who disposes of the stuff is not only getting hold of some easy money but is doing the country a favor, OFFICIAL STATEMENT of the Financial Condition of the Sawyer State Bank at Sawyer, State of Kansas, at the close of business on the 8th day of 1918.
