Well, wasn't it lucky that the big
shepherd dog frightened Daddy Fox in
the last story, for if he hadn't there
wouldn't be any story tonight and
neither would there be any Billy Bum

Well. as soon as Daddy Fox was out
of sight, for of course the big shep-
herd dog couldn't catch him. the little
rabbit hoped away down the Friend
~ Forest Trail until he came to the
Cave of the Big Brown Bear, who kept
honey and molasses candy to sell TO
little Forest Folk, and as soon as he
saw Billy Bunny he said:
Your Uncle Lucky drove by in his
Luckymobile not more than three and
half seconds ago.
ooh dear" cried the little rabbit,
If had only come here four seconds
carrier i would nave caagh: him" and
then he sat down on a stone and wiped
a tear out of his little pink eye.
Don't cry" said the good natured
bear and then he went inside the cave
and brought out a piece of honey on
The end of a little stick, just like
lollypop, you know.
Eat this little rabbit. and maybe in
a few short seconds you'll feel better.
And. wasn't it wonderful? AS soon
as the honey was all gone Billy Bun

hoped away so fast that he caught up

SAVE TWO TONS OUT OF TEN.

Coal is to be cheaper this winter
than last. II is predicted that it will
be cheaper than it is now. But coal
will be scarce. For one reason the
government is taking a great deal of
coal that was marketable in other
seasons; for another on the part of
the mine operators there is little de-
sire evident to cheerfully assist the
government coal control, While there
is likely to be enough coal to keep
warm with and conduct the business
of the country. conservation of coal is
common sense and patriotism COM

more careless in the care of their

however. his tax levied by himself up

wastes coal this winter IS as culpa-
BILE as The housewife who wastes food.
Learn all about your furnace. Take
a little time and study the first pT!n-
ciples OF heating. Test the kind and
the sizes of coal that your furnace
handles to the best results. Learn how
to make and keep a fire. Give the
furnace personal attention. See that
it is in shape to give the best results.

TWENTY-FIVE PER CENT LOYAL

G. r. Wrage. Of GIadbroo1, is heart
sick over the criticism that is being
voiced Of his home community. From
many sources one learns of the i'm
preston that seems TO exist all over
the state that Gladbrook Is disloyai
and Mr.. Wrage resents this state or
the public mind because he knows is
faIsity. He claims that GladbrOok has
given proof of its loyalty in the only
manner in which proof can be given.
The town has bought liberty bonds 20
the extent OF its ability and It has con-
tributed literally 10 the Red Cross.
The town has population of 1000 and
it has given $500 TO the Red Cross.
Twenty-six of the young men of the
town and its immediate neighborhood
have voluntarily enlisted in the army
and OF that number fourteen are OF
German parentage.s Mr. Wrage con-
siders that a good showing and before
the reader decides 1t Is not a good
showing let him take stock of what
his own home town or community has
accomplished along those lines. Mr.

is perfectly natural Too many Ameri-

outbreak of hostilities with Germany
that every man in this country Of Ger

week trying to sell tooth paste. When
she visited the Chronicle office, she
was much interested in tuberculosis
sufferers We suggested that this was
an expensive method OF raising money
for their needs. as it must take most
OF what she earned to pay her own
expenses and salary. She replied, We'll.
IL | don't worry about that, | don't see
why YOU should" We came to the con-
clusion that she was simply selling Tor
her living and that no institution for
those afflicted with tuberculosis ever
benefits from the proceeds Of her sales.

II anyone in town can vouch for her

particular party is working a graft or
not, II will pay people to be very care
full in buying from similar agents
Their goods are never sold at as low
rates as reputable merchants sell the

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

THE Boston bankers suggest that
we follow Englands example Let
us do So" agrees the Des Moines Reg
lister. THE first step is to raise the
proportion of taxes in ratio to bonds
from and a fraction per cent to Is
per cent. And to accomplish that re-
suit we may also follow England5s eX
ample. England has levied an excess
profits tax of so per cent Congress
proposes to levy 81 per cent Obvi-
ously, the proper way to raise our
$500, 100000 of war taxes, necessary
if we are to equal the British record
is to take a greater per cent of the war
profits"
TO compel the German language
no hardship. 1t might be a good thing
for them says the Waterloo Times
Tribune. Perhaps more people will
read them. They might help their
Germans to master the English Ian
guage. At least it would be recosni-
ton Of the official language of this

hoped"

Save Sugar in Jell y Making

Much waste of sugar and spoilage
of jellies can be avoided by using a
simple alcohol test recommended by
the Bureau of Chemistry, United
States Department of Agriculture. To
determine how much sugar should
be used with each kind of juice put
spoonful of juice in a glass and
add to it one spoonful Of 95 per cent
grain alcohol, mixed by shaking the
glass gently. Pour slowly from the
glass, noting how the pectin-the
substance in fruits which makes
them jell-is precipitated. If the
pectin is precipitated as one lump a
cup of sugar may be used for each
cup of juice; if in several Jumps the
proportion of sugar must be reduced
to approximately three-fOurthS the
amount of the juice. If the pectin
is not in Jumps but is merely preci-
plated, the sugar should be One-half
or less of the amount of the juice. If
the juice shows no precipitation I'M
der this test, it is unsuitable for jelly
making and must be combined with
apples or other juices rich in pectin.
The housewife will do we'll before
making the test, to taste the juice, as
fruits not as acid as good tart apples
probably will not make good jelly
unless mixed with other fruits which
are acid.
