CHRISTMAS PACKETS FOR
THE SOLDIERS AND SAILoRs
Short Time in Which to Prepare Lit
tie Christmas Remembrances for
Our Brave Boys at the Front
SUGGESTION or ARTICLES AND
HOW TO PACK THEM

-
One million of these packets will
probably be required
The number allotted to the Ocala
chapter r. c., is ESQ. This allotment
is based to some extent on the num-
Der of members in your chapter.
Chapters will be requested to turn
over these packets to the division
supply warehouses for distribution
rather than direct to any particular
camp or cantonment or company of
men.
A scheme will be worked out under
which the various division branch
warehouses will re-ship these packets.
To certain points for foreign ship
ment or for shipment to naval vessels.
To camps and other naval stations
in other sections of the country where
chapters are not so numerous.
To nearby camps, environments and
naval stations.
These shipments are to be in pro-
portion, to be determined in good time
before the packets are being received
at the division warehouses. Please
see that approximately one-third of
your allotment is in the division ware
house not later than than November
18th, SO as to give time to ship them
abroad.
We sincerely hope that you will see
that this matter is Immediately
brought before your chapter. as time
is short, and we want every boy in
the service to receive a Christmas
packet, and we don't want a single
one overlooked. We realize that this
is short notice, but we ask your CO.
operation to make this success.

ANOTHER LINCOLN STORY.

Lincoln and certain judge once fell
to bantering each other about trad
ing horses; and it was agreed that
the next morning at 9 o'clock they
should make a trade, the horses to be
unseen up to that hour, under for
felt of S25. 1t the hour appointed
the judge came up, leading the sOr-
riest-looking specimen of a nag ever
seen. In a few minutes Lincoln was
seen approaching with wooden saw
horse on his shoulders. Great were
the shouts and the laughter of the
crowd;and these increased when Lin
coin, surveying the judges animal,
set down his sawhorse and exclaimed,
"Well, judge this is the first time |
ever got the worst of it in horse
rade."-Youth's Companion.

which attends it's use.
In a state of hilarity, the Prussian
poured great glass of beer and pre-
scented it to his Russian neighbor,
saying: "You must empty this to

The Russian took up an immense
joint of mutton from the table and,
laying it upon the Prussian's plate,
said: "You must eat this to the
health Of our noble Gar"
"What!" cried the Prussian in as

HOW TO PROLONG
THE GARDEN SEASON

A writer says in Farm and Fire
side:
81 have tried several ways of OK
tending the season of perishable gar
den vegetables Of late years with
gratifying success, but old newspa-
pers and burlap sacks are my main
dependents. Newspapers are spread
over late bush beans, cucumbers, to-
mato vines, sweet peppers eggplant,
etc. The burlap sacks are then
spread over the papers to hold them
in place and furnish additional pro-
lection. When these easily frosted
plants are saved from the first kill
ing frost, it is often quite easy to
prolong the bearing season Of these
appetizing vegetables for month or
more to the great advantage Of our
home table. The main requirement
is to save generous supply Of
newspapers and burlap sacks, then
keep tab on the weather man. Most
of the vegetables mentioned can re-
main covered for several days when
cold weather threatens, until the cold
wave passes"

Miss Ida f. Gardner, State organ.

their pupils the Importance of food
saving at this time and through them
to reach the parents. The children
will be urged to request their moth
ers to sign the pledge cards and to
repeat the request daily during the
week of the campaign.
Mr.. Sackett is especially gratified
over the responses received from the
secretaries of the various Chambers
of Commerce from the State, notably
those at Louisville. CovingtOn, Lex
ington. Newport, Henderson, Padu-
cab, Greensboro and other of the lar

SUBMARINE HAS NOT

Frank Simonds. the great war ex-
pert, has rwitten an article for Farm
and Fireside in which he says:
"Half the advantage of superior
German preparedness was swept
away when the British fleet made it
possible to transform America into
the factory and granary Of the AL
lies. It will be the verdict Of history
made in the United States, at least
the Germans already attribute to
American help the protraction of the
war. This is the contribution Of sea
power.
against sea power Germany had
devised the submarine, or rather she
had relied upon the submarine. In
her plans it played the part of the
old privatcer. It was commerce de-
stroyer, and what it undertook TO do
was TO prey upon commerce, upon the
life of Great Britain, since without
imports she would starve to death.
Yet despit. all the sensational sue
cesses of the submarine. it has fail
ed in its purpose. 1t has not isolated
Britain, it has not produced starva-
ton, itohas not even interrupted the
flow of munitions or of supplies for
the allied armies. 1t has sunk many
merchantmen, but it will not be the
deciding factor in the war"
