has no date. I believe it is from January 1918, but do not know for
sure. Sorry.

soup or gravy or to bind corn bread or other cereal bread.
"Meatless" means no beef, pork, mutton, veal or lamb in any form, fresh
or preserved, and no bacon, ham or lard.

Just before we close the last forms of the Tribune we pause to announce
the glad tidings that the sun is again shining, and the weather is
balmy. The morning was ushered in with a drizzling rain, which caused
dire forebodings of flood conditions. There is much snow on the ground,
and of course we must expect much water when it melts. Some attribute
the change in the weather conditions to John Busse's sunshine letter
from Mississippi. But for the snow on the ground we would be having real
spring weather as this is written. Let us think of the morrow.
February will soon be gone. And March, like a Ford, has just enough
spring in it to make one tired. But that month will also fade away, and
then for the garden and the hoe.
