Somewhere in France: A*
member* of the 134th Nebraska
infantry regiment we wish to
convey to the people of Nebras
ka through you, how we feel
about coming home to a dry
state. We read in the Stars and
Stripes that the allied dry force*
of Nebraska have drawn up a
petition signed by 50,393 citizens
to place a Jry vote on the No
vember ballot. It is a little more
difficult to vote in France than
it is in Nebraska. Our time is
too occupied with fighting for
the freedom we left at home to
seek out 50 thousand Nebraska
boys to counteract that petition.
Therefore we are asking you to
take our part in what we feel is
an injustice to all members of
the allied expeditionary forces
in France.
We want to return to the
same Nebraska we left and not
to a state corrupted by the evils
of prohibition.
We the undersigned are all
legal Nebraska voters.

Plenty of pot roasts but mighty few broiling
■teaks is the outlook for beef supplies this fall
and winter. Meat-loving Americans will be able
to buy much more beef, but they’ll find it has a
smaller amount of fat than usual.
In order to move the meat from the large
quantities of grass-fattened cattle that will be
marketed, it is necessary that consumers be
told the advantages of leaner beef and the beet
methods oi preparing it. Doing a good job of
marketing this beef will mean more total dollars
*nA cents to the cattle producer. Swift & Com
pany has done and will dodts part i
On June 1 we contacted editors of na
tional women’s magazines telling them
of the type of beef which will be most
plentiful, suggesting that they feature
beef in their fall food pages.
On Jene 30 we sent bulletins to 15,000
home economists explaining the beef
situation, so they can help homemakers
prepare this leaner beef properly.
On July 1 we sent news stories to news
papers all over the country giving them
the facts.
On July 5 we started putting recipes In
the hands of thousands of women.
And that was just a start I
Swift will reach every meat buyer possible with
radio and magazine advertising directed to mil
lions of consumers; with advertising to tetanus
and merchandising plans for their uae; with
more and better recipes for preparing range-fod
beef.
We’ll leave no stone unturned to keep the tre
mendous supplies of the kind of beef you pro
