How to Save Butter at Table.

"Carelessness about butter is a
common American sin against thrift, F"
says the Farm and Fireside. "In
nearly every family some member has
the habit of taking huge helpings of
butter which he or she does not use.
The remedy is simple Cut slices off
the oblong pound of butter a quarter
of an inch thick, and cut each slice
into four pieces. When the butter is
served, let each member of the fam
lily take one small piece at time. 1t
sounds like small economy, but it
is one which careful housewives have
practiced for years, and now that we
are asked especially to conserve but
ter, country women will do we'll to
follow their example"

"Why Are You Not Wearing a Lib
erty Loan ButtOn?"

That is John A. Britton's query to
Liberty loan subscribers and those
who so far have failed to invest in
war bonds.
ut is time" declares Mr.. Britton,
''that those who have buttons over
come any modest scruples and display
them prominently in an effort to at
tract attention of others to the nGF
cessity of investment"
The button itself is a constant re-
minder of the cause of democracy,
carrying the Goddess of Liberty
prominently displayed.
Hundreds Of thousands Of these
buttons have been distributed by the
Twelfth Federal Reserve Bank to the
various banking houses in the city.
and the Liberty Loan campaign man
ager believes that their generous use
by investors will aid the war bond
drive.

Need More Poultry.

The secretary of agriculture points
out the Importance of increasing
poultry on the farms in the follow
ing letter transmitted to the Ameri-
can Poultry Association through Mr.,
Harry M. Lamon:
81 hope that the coming meeting
Of the American Poultry Association,
which you will attend as a represent
ative of the department, will be high
ly successful and productive of good
results. I need not point out that
an adequate supply of foodstuffs is
essential to the effective prosecution
of the struggle in which we are en-
gagged. We must not only supply our
own needs but we must endeavor to
meet in part the needs of the nations
with which we are cooperating. The
poultry industry can render very
great service to the nation in this
emergency. The production of poul-
try is one of the best means of bring
ing about quick increase in the
meat supply of the country. In many
sections, particularly in the south,
the number Of fowls on individual
farms can and should be very largely
increased. If the improved methods
which have been worked out by the
experts of the state agricultural coll
leges, the experiment stations and
the Department Of Agriculture were
generally adopted, many of the prob
lens confronting poultrymen would
be solved or minimized. The depart
ment is cooperating with the indus
try in many directions and stands
ready, of course, to render any as
sistance 1t can"

What the War Has Done to One MAI

What the war Has Done 10 One man.
A writer in the November Ameri-
can Magazine says:
'The war put into my soul some
thing that it has never harbored since
the day when / took my first step
alone-Fear. Fear of what might
happen to this country has turned
me from a mild pacifist into violent
advocate of preparedness. Fear of
what might happen to business made
me lose more chances in these three
years than ever before in my life.
And recently there was added anoth-
er fear, the fear of death.
'The fear of God, remember hear
ing once in church, is the beginning
of wisdom. Perhaps this is true
Perhaps l needed this war to jog me
out of my comfortable, unquestioning
Irut and make me think why l am
here, and where am going and what
1t is all about. Perhaps the whole
world needed 1t. Who can say?"
