gle, and there YOU are, trying to
make me feel blue. Goodness knows
1 wouldn't marry right now anyhow.
unless my husband would promise
TO go away and enlist. Many an old
maid will get a war bridegroom
now that never thought she would
be Missus anybody. No husband Of
mine is ever going 10 be no War
Bridegroom. that's a cinch."
1T is kind of tough on young men
that was engaged when this jam be-
gan" said the Head Barber. IF
they don't get married now the girls
will give them the freeze. and if they
do get married they viii be pointed
at with the cold finger of the vii
lage knocker and called towards.
even if gents that gets married
nowadays and pays these high
prices for two instead Of one amt

Well" said the Manicure Lady,
that amt got a thing TO do with
ing job last night. While other
folks is busy preparing in other
ways, I am going TO prepare for
peace by learning how TO cook.
When peace comes this time, think
it's going 10 last until after you and
me has went 10 our peaceful rest,
George, and / want TO be ready and
able TO do my share TO keep peace
in any family that I happen TO mar
ry into. if that there glad day ever
rolls around. Sometimes get kinda
clinical about my chances. but I
suppose all US girls has streaks like
that"
Well you know what I said.
repeated the Head Barber. My old
lady will give you all the tips on
cooking that you want. Come up
any time, and she'll teach you how
to keep a husband fed up. Looka

THE MANICURE LADY.
BY William l.. Kirk.

Il got the dinner up home last
night said the Manicure Lady. Il
got the dinner. and now the folks Is
thinner. And that's more truth
than poetry, George"
My old lady is a swell cook" de-
clared the Head Barber. "Os course.

ried her for her cooking But the
way she frames things up would do
your heart good If you ever want
TO get a slant on cooking that will
make a regular chef out of you just
let my wife give you a few tips.
She doesn't need no cook book for
anythin' She learned from her
mother, and she never forgot what
she learned Looka me, don't
look starved, do = Well, my old
lady's cooking is the answer"
II think it must be grand to be a
good chef said the Manicure
Lady. "Of course. it amt so swell
as being a lady novelist or a lady
suffragette. but it's awful useful
around meal time. and 1 have made
up my mind that / am going 10 be
prepared i'm that line if / don't learn
nothing else from now to the end
of the parade
Good cooks don't have any trou-
bic getting married" said the Head
Barber IF YOU got any girl
friends that want 10 wear wedding
rings that knows how 10 cook and to
cook right let me know their names
and / will dig up a swell layout Of
fine young gents for them to choose
from and walk up the aisle. That's
what kid, You got no idea how
scarce good cooks is"
Goodness knows amt that
eager 10 get married" said the
Manicure Lady. Il don't know why

Burn Wood and
SaOe Coal AdUice
of L. S. Foresters

Use of the woodlot as a war meas
ure is urged on the American farm
er by foresters who see in the wood
lot an important and necessary
source Of fuel with which to com
bat the fuel shortage with which
this country and Europe are threat
ened as a result Of freight conges-
ton on the railroads.
The United States geological sur
vey is quoted as declaring that next
winter will witness a national coal
shortage perhaps more serious than
that of last winter. unless unusual
efforts are made 10 prevent il. As
one means of reducing the problem
American forestry calls on coal
users everywhere TO supply
their fuei needs for the win
ter by buying and storing coal dur
cars is pointed out as the chief fac
tor in the failure of the nation $
coal supply and the railroads viii be
unable 10 handle the coal that will
be needed during next winter un-
less much of it is thus taken in ad-
vance II is made clear that every
car of coal unloaded during the COM
ing summer will release a car for
i'm perative needs when the need is
greatest
The fuel situation and the gen
eral traffic congestion on the rail-
roads are both the result of war
conditions. For this reason il is
argued that the problem must be
given the same emergency atten-
ton that is being applied 10 the in
crease of foodstuffs
II is urged that farmers and vii
lagos employ wood as fuel where
ever possible with a view TO reduc-
ing the amount of coal which the
railroads will be made 10 carry. II is
not expected that shipments Of
wood shall he made by rail as this
would not be helpful Estimates
show that the l. states, from New
England to Minnesota, Iowa and
Missouri. can save 100000 tons Of
coal or $1,000 car loads.

What Patriotism May Mean to a Woman
BY Christine Terhune Herrick.

Patriotism means a lot to most of
US when il is accompanied by a sort
of g~andstand play We can all feel
thrills and chokings in our throat
at the sight of Old Glory borne up
the street ahead of a brass band
playing patriotic airs.
The time when we get over that
and feel the hardships of a patriot
are when we go home and plan for
meals or count up the change left
after doing the days marketing, or
debate upon what we can afford to
have for dinner. Then we shed our
trailing robes Of glory and begin to
grumble like any uninspired crea-
lures who have never cheered a flag
or kept step TO a marital tune.
why were we ever drawn into
this wretched war;" we cry. Look
az the price of meat and vegetables.
DO YOU know what 1 had TO pay for
my last bag of flour? It's a shame
that the necessities of life should be
taxed like this. no, children. You
cannot have cream on your straw
berries and I'm not sure can afford
to get the strawberries, Such a
nuisance having 10 pinch and fuss
like this. I am sick 10 death Of it,
Just then and there YOU show that
you don't know all patriotism can
mean 10 a woman. stop and think
why everything is high-priced, why
YOU have 10 scr.mp and strive. Here
is where YOU have your chance 10
show your patriotism,
What are we doing as nation?
Why were we drawn into this
war?
You may re able TO answer
