800 TONS A DAY.

The government needs 800 tons of walnut and hickory nut shells and peach, plum and apricot pits a day, for the manufacture of gas masks. Without gas masks our boys cannot advance, without the proper material they -cannot be made, hence the importance of conserving these things. Bring all you can to Norgor’s hitch barn, where boxes are provided and where the eouncil of defense will see that the government will properly receive them.
