Our ladies have been called upon
to sign cards obligating themselves
to save and economize in food stuff
This is right. No doubt many leaks
could be stopped where food is vast
ed. The housewife who does her
own cooking, washing, starching,
ironing, patching, darning, makes
clothes for the family, cans and pre-
serves the fruits and vegetables, is
busy woman day in and day out.
Sh knows the value of time and from
necessity uses the strictest economy
in her cooking because she has help
ed to make the supplies with her own
hand and knows their value. She
has not left her kitchen to careless
cook, who is to be fed and is waste
full in her cook hg. This woman has
no time to spend at picture shows,
theatres, gossiping at tea parties,
wasting precious time at card par
ties and dances. She feeds no canary
birds or poodle dogs, she is thinking
of her children and those in want.
She gives no useless dinners, serving
many courses that aids indigestion.
She is loyal, she loves her country,
she has shown it by her manner of
living. Yes, Mr.. Hoover you can
count on this busy housewife in war
and in peace. She'll stand by her
country and by her flag, yea if nec-
essary she will die for the flag, her
name will be immortal in history.
Don't call her a Stacker.
The singing choir at Midway next
Sunday afternoon is expecting a

Gust Grove have promised to be on

Warren Lindley says it's busy
time and gives us a routine of one
days work he did last week. He
was pulling corn, found a watermelon
and ate it, saw a black snake and
killed it, smoked cigarette and set
the woods on fire, fought fire, hauled
corn and finished filling his crib,
floored the hog pen, drawed wash
water, half soled his shoes, rocked
the baby to sleep and went 'possum
hunting that night.
Bob Barnes says he is busy man
too. Picked cotton, killed a hawk,
(The ladies will please send him a
tater pie, he don't like chicken),
drew his gun on flock of wild geese,
made a flutter mill, used a wheat
and guano drill of his own make,
went to fire that night, sang song
and went to bed.

DANCING
IN THE SNOW

Beloit, Wis, Mar 15.-Stage-struck
girls here lost part Of their ambition
to follow art for arts sake when they
saw Marjorie Frances Hollis dance
barefoot in the snow here last week
She appeared with the Wisconsin
Players from Milwaukee, who gave
their repertoire Of one-act plays. Miss
Hollis cultivated her snow fad with
the Morgan dancers in New York.
81 won't catch cold" she told her
friends who were trying to dissuade
her from snow-dancing.
She frolicked around in an appre-
waited costume, while awed girls de
bated whether they hadn't better take
up domestic science. Shivcring spec
tators remembered New Year resolu-
tions to take a cold plunge every morn
ing, and wondered if the dancer really
enjoyed the sensation Of the snow
tickling her bare feet.
