SUMMERFIELD MADE A
SPLENDID SHOWING

In the Summerfield portion of yes
terday's parade Mr.. Dan Shaw was at
the head representing farmer on
horseback. He carried a banner on
which was inscribed "Summerfeld
Farm Products Will Help Win the
War"
The industrial floats were from the
Farmers Gin and Mill company, Wall
& Son, merchants, Mayo-Lyles, mer-
chants, and the Chronicle.
The private autos were those of c.
"A. Bangert, Oscar Martin, J. M.
Hanson, R. L. Clyburn, L. J. Wall, N.
Mayo, C. P Davis, j. E. Branch, j
w. Davis. NJ O. Linton, L. D. Proc
tor and J. W. Smith.
Summerfeld certainly did herself
proud, and If the other towns of the
county had done as well the process
sion would have been miles long in
stead of only several blocks as was
the case.

SWISS SUPPLY OF
COAL IS SLENDER

Berne-( Correspondence of the As
sociated Press) )-Switzerland has at
last attacked the problem of econo-
mizing its meagre coal supply. 1t has
begun none too soon and apparently
none too strenuousIy, for Germany's
initial delivery for September under
the new economic agreement has fall
len many thousands of tons short Of
the promised minimum Of 100000. It
is scant satisfaction for Switzerland
that its loan to Germany is reduced
accordingly.
In anticipation Of having to strug-
gle along with 100000 tons or less of
coal a month-the Swiss government
has cut to the bone the railroad traf-
fic, raised rates and made it so dit-
ficult and so expensive to travel that
only necessity is apt to induce q
Swiss to move from one part of his
tiny country to another. The govern
ment also has issued drastic regula-
tions governing heating. The sale of
certain types of electric stoves was
forbidden, while electricians were for
hidden to install new switches and
lines such as would be necessary foI

SILLY RULES
OF SOCIETY
Add to the Food Scarcity that Now
Troubles the People of
America
ASSOCIATED Press)

Kokomo, Ind, Nov. 30.-A move
ment which, it is hoped here will be-
come nationwide, to break down some
of the rules of table etiquette in the
interest Of food conservation has been
started by the women of Kokomo,
who are interested in helping Herbert
Hoover, national food administrator,
reduce the size Of the garbage pail.
The plan has the endorsement of Mrs.
John E. Moore, president Of the In
diana Federation of Women's Clubs,
and Mrs. Casper Butler, president of
the Kokomo Franchise League and
prominent in club circles. It is hoped
to obtain the endorsement of hundreds
of society women throughout the
United States before Thanksgiving
and thus make a large saving in food
on that day.
81 most heartily favor a return to
the old-fashioned ways Of serving in
these war times" said Mrs. Moore,
"as a great saving Of food. I believe
we should conserve in every way pos
sible, even to the stirring of the
sugar in our cups to save an addi-
tional spoonful. Let US return to the
simple meals and the old economical
ways Of serving them" Here are some
of the points over which Kokomo
women have been pondering:
| First. the campaign for "clean
plate" would be. according to rules
of polite society, a breach of table
good form, for society has always
taught that something should be left
on the plate for manners sake" The
remedy for this is a return to the old
ways of serving, the customs of our
great grandmothers when they used
to place the steaming dishes of veg
etables and meat on the table and
each member Of the family was al
lowed to help himself in proportion to
his capacity for liking for the dish.
Society has followed the rule that
one should not stir the sugar in his
coffee cup and has added an extra
spoonful or two of sugar. Uncle Sam
wants that extra sugar now to help
feed the Allies. Society also has a
rule that it is not polite at dinner
to refuse any one Of the chief dishes,
that very small helpings must be
made from every course. The diners
usually leave considerable portions to
be thrown into the garbage can which
Mr.. Hoover is trying to keep empty.
