Here are some war proverbs that
will appeal to the women who are
trying to do their share in these trou-
bled times:
Cherish thy parings.
Waste not, want not.
The high cost of living is the whine
of life.
A word to the wives is: Efficient"
If the shoe fits keep on wearing it.
Better no garbage can than full
It's a wise father that grows his
own crop.
Beauty is less than skin deep-in
a potato.
Bread, scattered from the back
door, is the chaff of life.
Eat to live; there is no virtue in
living to eat.
When prosperity flies in at the
window, garbage slips out = at the
door.
A rounded purse canpot live in har-
mony with a full garbage pail.

News has been deceived of the ap-
pointment of Edward Theodore Kline,
youngest son of Mr.. and Mrs. c. A.
Kline of Buchanan street, to the
United States naval academy at An
napolis The lad is but II years of
age, and has passed creditably the
difficult examination for entrance to
the academy. He was appointed as
alternate by Congressman Doollttle of
appointee is not in position to accept,
Mr.. Kline becomes the congressman's
nominee for the place.
Mr.. Kline took two and one-half
years of high school work and would
have graduated at the end of the third
year. had he not decided to-try for the
examination emitting him to entrance
at Annapolis After leaving high
school, he gave himself to his prepa-
ration and made the grades without
tutor, which is something of a record,
considering that few young men at
tempt the examinations without a
complete high school course, and often
two years of college, besides special
preparation under a teacher.
He will leave Thursday for the east
stopping in Springfield, Ill, to visit
his grandparents. and reporting at
Annapolis Monday, July %.

Speaking of war economies, one of
our charming young mothers has been
teaching the necessity of saving to her
her little girl all in a white frock, and
called the attention of the baby's
brother to the angel child. Said she,
Il used to dress you up in white like
! that, and you looked so nice"
Presently the small boy burst into
tears. His mother inquired the cause
of his distress. 81 am trying SO hard
to save" he walled, land not wear out
my clothes. 1 wore my bathing suit
all this morning to save my other
( clothes, and you never even looked at
me-"
And heaven knows it's no use prac-
ticing war economies If nobody takes
any notice of us.
