problem that now confronts the ma
ton.
WASTE NO FoODr' This should
be our motto from today until the
end of the war.
Remember that food is wasted:
When we eat more than our bodies
need for growth and repair and to
supply energy for our work
When food is burned or spoiled in
cooking
When too much food is prepared
for a meal
When too much food is served at
a meal
When anything edible is allowed
to go to the garbage pail or allowed
to spoil for lack of proper handling
When food is handled caerlessly.
Say to yourself now, Mrs. House.
wife: For one month am going to
purchase, prepare and serve the food.
for my family on the basis of the
most rigid economy consistent with
health. am going to do my part
toward conserving the worlds def
Gent food supply. am going to
demonstrate THRIFT in my home, to
make saving, rather than wasting,
my household standard"
Then at the end of a month care
fully analyze the results and unless
we are greatly mistaken, you will not
only be proud of what you have done,
but you never will be satisfied to go
back to the old wastefUI methods.

A young fellow at the club was
talking to an old and conservative
member with reference to criminal
procedure, when he observed:
4 see there's some talk in this
state upon the question of abolishing
capital punishment. Would you vote
to abolish it,"
81 would not, was the decided re-
ply of the old chap. Capital pun
ishment was good enough for my an

THE PUBLIC FORUM
SEVERAL THINGS.-Nerv. Yer

SEVERAL THINGS. Very, very
many of the backyard gardeners will
not raise enough to pay for seed and
tools, but perhaps the outdoor eXer-
else will be worth something. If the
same amount of energy and expense
put into this gardening proposition
could be employed in finding a way
to have food produced and distrib-
Uted for use instead of for profit, the
high cost of living problem would
soon be solved.
If the time and money spent and
to be spent on the Billy Sunday cam
paign to save souls could be spent
instead in saving bodies, what host
of dear little babies and loving chill
dren who will die of hunger and want
between now and the end of the ere
ViYaP' could be saved to useful lives.
But it is dollars to doughnUts there
is more to be gained in a financial
way by the large contributors in get
ting Billy to draw the peoples at
tentiOn in his direction while they
pick their pockets of a few things
like street car franchises, war prof
its, class consciousness, etc.
Wouldn't it be grand if the money
spent and appropriated during the
last two years for war preparation
could have been used for making this
an ideal republic? That would be
real preparedness, for then no for
eign ruler would think of making war
on the United States. He would be
morally certain that as soon as his
men set foot on our beloved shores
they would rush to the nearest Of
fetal where they could take out cit
izenship papers.
I would suggest a way for the
school teachers to protect their pen
sion fund from those who are so anx-
iOus to help them take care of it.
Either increase the amount of pen
sion or cut down the rate to be paid

LITTLE BIT OF EASY MONEY
Clubman Knew Well What He Was
Doing When He Made the Bet
With His Friend.

In an office building I'm the down
town district there Is n club on an
upper floor, with an express elevator
service for members, says the New
York Evening Post. The other day
two men emerging from the dining
room consulted the elevator floor indl-
Gator. The arrow moved in two shifts,
one Of them the club elevator express.
"Its wonderful how much time a
man can save by these expresses" re-
marked one OF the pair.
Nonsense" said his companion; II
can get To the bottom on local and
beat you"
"Bet you ten dollars you can't" was
the reply.
The cages In both shafts opened
with a click, and without further par
ley the two men entered different ele-
vators. The local got away frac-
ton OF moment ahead OF the ex-
press. when the man I'm the express
stepped out on the ground floor his
acquaintance was waiting for him.
"How did you do III" gasped the
express passenger, digging down for
the forfeited banknote.
Easy" said his companion. u

For three years the Iron County Y.

the camp has been held at Stager,

The camp site is located on Bass or

AIpha Council Takes Measures TO KID
village OF "Purps.'

Alpha has been bothered Tor long
time past with vicious dogs. There
are n lot OF dogs In the village that
are OF no use to themselves or their
owners and one wonders what on
earth they are kept running about for'
This dog matter came to head
within the past week when one OF
them attacked one OF the pupils OF the
Porter school and bit her so that the
blood came.
shortly afterwards another dog at
tackled one OF the lady teachers and
tore her clothing but didn't succeed
in biting her.
The matter was Immediately called
10 the attention OF Marshal Heaton
and by him brought before the coun-
ell The council decreed that the
parties owning dogs in this village
must at once take measures to care
for them, otherwise the village mar
shall has instructions TO kill them.
Most Alpha people believe that
should the marshal start in and rid
Alma OF about half OF the useless
ours he would be doing the commum-
ty n real benefit.

All the cabmen at the cabstand,

OF which is TO be seen only I'm London,
waiting for some great lady. The large,
satin-smooth horses, Jet black, were
perfectly matched; the silver-mounted
harness glittered magnificently; the
long, lemon-shnped barouche was lined
In wine-colored satin; the coachman
and fOotman, both big, fine-loOking
men, wore powdered hair, claret-col-
ored broadcloth liveries. richly adorned
with silver buttons, and high hats with
silver bands and cockades. Conscious
Of their Importance, they looked Meth

immovable. Such magnlficence could

The room was lastly trimmed with
hearts, the banquet being served up
on Valentine day, the heart trimmings
being interpreted with other trim
mings appropriate to the occasion and
the day, ali lending cheerful tone to
the affair.
The supper was served at six o'clock
and following the satisfying OF the
inner man came a program OF toasts.
Prof. Bishop. superintendent OF
schools OF Mastodon township, was
the POSTMASTER and his work lent
much to the success OF the occasion.

sponses was as follows:

Peter cerrigan.
The two candidates for supervisor
and two OF the candidates for treas
urer, Messrs Anderson and ADMITS,
decided to get the votWs OF Alpha To-
gether aud hNe stNw vote taken.
Accordingly they Clipped in and ar
ranged for a big time at the pavilion
last Thursday evening, Washington's
birthday.
The band was brought out, supper
arranged for and some boxing match
es staged. About 200 residents were
out and every one OF them had fine
time.
A straw vote was taken first on the
Office OF supervisor which resulted in
Mr.. Bradley getting "a votes and Mr.
Perkins 20. The vote on treasurer
stood. Anderson 60, ADMITS 75. Mr.,
Gerrigan did not go into the contest
but will be a candidate at the polls.

CHAPTER xI.

The reception rooms Of Seyre House,
by some people considered the finest In
London, were crowded that night by q
brilliant and cosmopolitan assembly.
For some time John stood by the
princes side and was introduced to
more people than he had ever met be-
fore in his life. Presently, however
| he was discovered by his friend Amer
| ton.
"Queer thing your being here, a
friend of the prince and all that!" the
young man remarked. "Where's Miss
Sophy this EVENING""
Il haven't seen her." John replied. 81
don't believe she is invited"
Like to be introduced to some of
the girls, or shall we 60 and have q
drink"
John was hesitating when he felt q
hand upon his shoulder. The princes
voice sounded in his ear.
"Strangewey," he said, 81 am priv
legged to present you to Nine. Aida
Calavera. Madame, this is my friend
of whom / spoke to you"
John turned away from the little
group Of girls and young men toward
whom Amerton had been leading him.
The woman was different from any
thing he had imagined, from anything
he had ever seen. In the ballet a
writing, senSuous figure with every
gesture q note in the octave Of pas
sion, here she seemed the very per-
sonification OF a negative and striking
immobility. She was slender, not so
tall as she had seemed upon the stage,
dressed in white from head to foot.
Her face was almost marblelike in its
pallor, her smooth, black hair was
drawn tightly over her ears, and her
eyes were Of the deepest shade of blue.
She raised her hand, as he bowed, with
a gesture almost royal in it's condescen-
sion. The prince, with quiet tact,
John struggled in vain for something
to say.
"Mr. Strangewey," he remarked,
paid his first visit to Coyent Garden
tonight. He has seen his first ballet,
as we moderns understand the term.
cannot help envying him that delight.
He naturally finds it difficult to realize
this additional good fortune. VIII you
excuse me for one moment?"
The prince departed to welcome

CHAPTER x.

During the remainder Of that after
noon and evening John was oppressed
by a vague sense Of the splendor OF
his surroundings and his companions
mysterious capacity for achieving Inn
possibilities. Their visits to the tai
Iors, the shirtmakers, the hosiers and
the bootmakers almost resembled
royal progress. All difficulties were
waved aside. That night he dined'
clothed like other men from head to
foot, In the lofty dining room or one
Of the most exclusive clubs In LONDON.
The prince proved an agreeable IL
somewhat reticent companion. he IN
troduced John to many weil-Kno"n
people, always with that little note OF
personal interest In his few words OF
presentation which gave a certain Sig
nificance to the ceremony.
From the club, where the question OF
Johns proposed membership the
prince acting as his sponsor, was Ia
vorably discussed with several mem
bers Of the committee, they drove 10
Covent Garden, and for the hrst Tune
