Mason to the pretty girl with whom
he had just been dancing.
Eyes, will" she answered. ''But
I don't think of going in for while
yet. 1t is too warm"
Just then George wished he might
not have to 60 to New York for some

spend part of the day on the beach,
talking with this same pretty girl,
Grace Parks, and to put in the re-
mainder of the time dancing with her
in the evening.
Grace did not live in New York
but she had a cousin there, at whose
home she occasionally visited! The
prospect Of being given ga good

out her small income by teaching
music. Besides, she had begun to
want to see as much as possible of
Mason; to put it plainly, he had be-
come rather necessary to her happi-
ness.

friend, Amy French, the next morn

FIRE BOYS BUY BONDS.
VIII Give Big Dance Thanksgiving
Night and Donate Proceeds TO
Red Cross.

Chief Theo. Olson of the DEBORAH
Fire Department, informed us Satur-
day that the department purchased
$500 worth of Liberty Bonds, the mo-
ney for which came out of the depart
ment fund. This fund, or part of it.,
had been laid aside by the depart
ment, with the intention OF some day
building firemen's auditorium. The
buying of the bonds shows q very
good move on the part of the boys
and their action is to be commend
ed.
On Thanksgiving night they are
planning on giving a big dance, and
after the expenses are paid the bal
ance will be turned over to the Red
Cross. Again the boys are to be
commended, and we dare say they
will have big crowd and take il a
lot of money.

LAVENDER STAMPS.
Three-Cent Stamps of This Hue to
be Used After Nov. 9.

After November 2 it will cost more
to send letter to any point in the
United States than it will to send one
to Great Britain. After that date all
out-of-tow1 letters will be asked to
change their color scheme. A layen-
der Scent stamp will have to be
placed in the corner now occupied
by the 2-cent red steel engraving OF
George Washington.
However, the red portrait need not
be discarded. 1t can still be used in
conjunction with green one. While
the cent rate applies to between
cities in the United States, the inter
national postal agreement fixing the
rate to Great Britain at two cents
still holds.
The penny postal card also goes
into the discard to help finance the
war. After November 2, only COM
mercial cards bearing no written
message and mailed il quantities of
fifteen or more can be mailed for one
cent.

but easy. The car ran off the road
near the Morrison residence, tipped
over on its side in the ditch. Mrs.
Nesheim had her eye glasses broken,
besides she sustained a bad cut on
her lip, a cash over the right eye
and one on the eye lid. Dr. Dahl who

eye. The wounds bled freely and she
suffered considerably from the loss
of blood.
