ON SPUR f ri MOMENT

Little Slice o. Life.
The other day a fashion journal said
And other things that go into the manu-
Of dress goods. the material in women's
Must be reduced. The journal said that
Every time there is a battle in France
Dress goods became scarcer.
We can easily believe this because
We have rubbered along Main street some
what
Since the war started. We have noted
That every time there is an important
Battle in France the skirts have gone up
Some of them that were down around the
When the war started are now up to the
And some of them that started at the knees
Have become shortened still more,
There have been many important battles,
And if there are many more the average
skirt
VIII be about the same as a belt.
Let US have peace!
1t is time to begin making democ-
racy unsafe for profiteers.
Helen Rowland, the eminent sob
sister who holds a daily mental clinic
on the sterner sex, and who was re-
Gently married, says: There is no
peace of mind with a husband and no
peace of heart without one"
Our idea of no sort of a job is
that of being Mr.. Helen Rowland.
A western paper calls one of the
most eminent New York lawyers
Hon. Samuel Underwear" For of
such, kind friends, is fame.

The governments report that there
is a shortage of fur-bearing animals
this fall will mot be taken seriously
while so many of them are tripping
up and down Main street.
1t is pleasure to learn that the
report of a shortage of salt is un-
| true.

Some have criticised the member.
of the American commission on allied
war who have just sailed for Europe
for taking their wives with them.
How silly. If the commission need
any advice the ladies can give it. The!

Perhaps that is the reason he is TO-

Problems
BY MRS. ELIZABETH THoMPsO

Dear Mrs. Thompson: / love girl
very much. She wanted me to buy
her an engagement ring and 1 did SO
because l loved her. We have not
spoken for nearly two months now
and she is telling people that We
broke the engagement. Would it be
all right for me to send word to her
TO give me back the ring. or has she
right to it? JAMES r.
You should write her a note asking
her for it, or when you meet her ask
for it, She shouldn't want to keen il
after the engagement is broken
Dear Mrs. Thorn .Ison: 1 am a Young
girl of 16. have a few boy friends
but mother doesn't like me to go with
any OF them. She says am too Young
to keep company with boys. Do Won
think am too young or do you think
II is all right for me to go with them ?
BLUE EYES.
You are several years too young to
be going with boys. Now is the time
when you ought to be making the
most of your opportunity for school
work and study.

l hear the solemn organ sound;
/ see the sunlight fall
From painted windows all around
Upon the paneled wall.
Again l hear the preacher say,
Behold a little leaven
Accept salvation while you may.
And lift your hearts to heaven"
l know that you are kneeling there,
Dvout as you are wont;
A little CLEAN of neck and hair,
The fourth pew Tom the front.
And if my thoughts from heaven will stray.
God will forgive me. dear,
For heaven is very far away,
And you are very near.
Albert Abernethy Cowles.

The British may be slow but they
ultimately arrive. Lucknow and
Ladysmith have found their counter

On November % there was a cash
balance of nearly two billion dollars
in the U S. treasury. Receipts on that
day. other than those from the sale
of bonds, amounted to $50, .667.
Ordinary disbursements aggregated
$22.769.922. 1t looks as tho Uncle
Sam is not likely to be pressed for
ready cash at any early date.

1t is reported that President Wilson
is opposed to a declaration of war on
Austria. So the dual empire shall be
whipped it cannot matter much
whether the castigation be admins
tered directly or indirectly. But the
issue will give congress something to
talk about and may afford material
for future political capital.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS
Parcel Post Packages.

Here is timely suggestion for par
eel post packages. If they are secure
ly wrapped in table oilcloth they will
reach their destination in good con-
dition, as the oilcloth permits no mois-
ture or dirt to get inside of package.
Use right side of oilcloth for inside
and you can write the address on the
other side.
Fine for packages sent to the sol
diers, as their packages travel some
distance.

The fact that the allies have been
able to maintain a successful often
sive on the western front and at the
same time send re-enforcements to
italy seals the doom of the Huns. 1t
may be that even the Germans them

whipped but the war will end only
when they themselves learn the truth

WHEAT HOOVER SAYS
VIII.

VIII.
Europe insists upon wheat for
bread, for her people do not under
stand the value of corn as food. AS
a matter of fact. there is more nutri-
tive value in a dollars worth of corn
meal than in a dollars worth of wheat
flour. Italy is the only European ma
ton which accepts corn as a proper
foodstuff. There are four bushels of
corn raised in America to one of
wheat, and if corn were used here as
a substitute for wheat. enough of the
latter would be released to make up
the European deficit"
