receipts were $44.80 to be used

The motor car is headed for

dences of prosperity. My old
time merchant friend w. K.
Loyejoy was busy waiting on the
trade. He explained to me that
the pretty new cottage in East
Keevil was being built by W. H.
Sudderby the new mill manager.
On the West side of the rail-
road was the splendid new store
of the Keevil Mercantile Co. of
which my old friend Lecil Simp-

fame as a successful sweet pota-

the mercantile business. He
has pretty new store.

The Pollyanna company will appear
here at the Orpheum on Thursday
evening, Oct 4, to add to the joys of
everyday living. The glad play is the
well chosen offering, and the company
interpreting the CHEEKY text and char
acters of Pollyanna is personally one
of very high order. The philosophy
which this glad play spreads has
caught the imagination of people, and
sparks in every heart a feeling of
comfort that is not soon forgotten.
There IL nothing "preachey" about
Pollyanna, either. 1t Is a joyful mes
sage sent upon its errand by good
fun, clean sentiment and old Laven-
diversion at the theatre, where all the
lovable characters of the famous
books pass in review as living beings,
and sends one home with a smile and
to linger pleasantly in memory long
after the playhouse is darkened. In
fact, 1t is one of the unusual and en-
during things of the theatre-a popu-
lar success with a sound cornerstone
of woTthwhileness.
Klaw s. Erlanger and George c.
Tyler evidently sensed wlat the peo-
pie long for in entertainment when
they brought out Pollyanna in tne
spoken form of the stage, giving tile
vitality of flesh and blood to the
imaginative characters of the book.
Eleanor II. Porter has done the world
good service by this creation of
fancy, and the play author has. fol-
lowed step in this service. and the
producers are in the reckoning OF
good deeds by their faith and sensi-
tive regard for fitting detail of pres
entation.
Helen Hayes leads the cast, and
those prominent in her support are
George Alison, John Webster, Fan
chon Campbell, Agnes Gildea, Adrian
Morgan, Master Donald McLelland
and others.

At Dilworth over twenty women

sent a box of supplies to headquar-
ters. Hendrum has over fifteen knit
ters who have completed consider
able work. The Ulen and Hitter
dal branches held a joint meeting
at Ulen. Both are doing excellent
work in both sewing and knitting.
Ulen has taken fifteen pounds of
yarn. The Norwegian Lutheran
Ladies' aid Of Keene Township met
at the home of Peter Solwald with
an attendance of sixty. The pastor
and o. f. Riersgaard, chairman OF
the Ulen branch. gave excellent talks
on Red Cross work and the women
are going into ii with enthusiasm.
At Clear View the meeting was
held in the beautiful new school
house. where one room is used rs
Red Cross headquarters. The women
of the surrounding country turned
out in force; the older girls of the
school came to the meeting and are
working. Hawley has promised to
supply thirty-five OF each of the
knitted articles as it's share Of the
Clay county quota. FELTON, will make
twelve of each knitted article. Mrs.

Washington, Sept. q. - The home
vegetable gardener, who has planned
his planting we'll, is now about to
reap the most important fruits Of his
labor-a crop OF late vegetables to
store for winter use. Even for the
householder who has no garden, the
storage of vegetables is a measure
of great economy at this time OF the
year when they are cheap.
Beets, late cabbage, carrots, celery,
onions, parsnips. potatoes, sweet
potatoes, satisfy and turnips will all
keep through the winter II properly
stored, as will beans and peas when
they have been dried.
A garden of half an acre will sup
ply the average family with most OF
its winter vegetables, in addition to
all that can be eaten fresh during
the summer. And most of these vege-
tables may now be obtained in the
markets or from farmers or market
gardeners at a very moderate price.
This is the season of abundance-the
traditional time for the laying by of
winter food. The wild creatures are
busy at it. from ants and bees to
SQUIRRELS ande woodchucks. So are
those forward-look and independ-
ent people who live in the country.
They are drying beans and peas,
killing hogs and making hams, put
ting up preserves and pickles. laying
by apples and potatoes, beets and
turniDs in cellar and attic. Food
trusts and food dictators have no
terrors for them. Even in Germany
the farmer class has remained we'll

Opportunities in Cities. ",.
OF course. the city dweller has no
onv~nr%Y1pffiaC the farrnnr and
suburbanite for putting away foods.
But the striking fact is that he neg
lects what opportunities he has. The
average American urban home con-
tains no storage room but a small
pantry and an ice box. while in many
cottage and apartment homes even
the pantry is omitted. The amount
of food kept on hand is usually very
small, and that small amount is in
many cases staples, which may be
bought as well at one time as an

Real Economy in Storage.
For this season the storage of
vegetables for winter use is a very
real economy, and IL is also a very
worth while health measure Fur
thermore. 1t is in no sense un-
patriotic or to be confused with
boarding. On the contrary it is q
means of adding to the nations food
supply.
The outburst of preachments of
economy which followed the entrance
of the United States into the war
was followed by a reaction. Mer-
chants found that business was fall
ing OFF. People were not buying the
luxuries they should. So a counter
was started for business
as usual" These conflicting lines of
advice from high authorities have
left that buffeted and struggling
individual. the average citizen. in a
state of complete bewilderment This
has been further increased by q
and wholly unfounded
rumor Of food in private houses.
Having been advised to can food and
store food by his government. the
startled householder now hears that
The Fargo forum and daily republican., 1917-09-27

it is all to be taken away from him.
OF course. the government has no
idea Of seizing food stocks in private
houses, nor is there the remotest pos
sibility that the necessities OF our
case will ever call for such meas
ure. Furthermore. the preservation
and storage OF foods are very desir-
able, both from the individual and
the national standpoint. They add
a definite amount to the nations food
supply, because at this time of the
year great quantities of vegetables
and fruits are thrown out at all the
markets, left to rot in the fields and
orchards. Every pound stored or
preserved is pound saved.
This is especially true Of vege-
tables which will keep through the
winter, for no labor of canning or
preserving is needed for them
merely the forethought to provide a
proper place for keeping them.
Should Store Vegetables.
Furthermore, it is vegetables and
not staples which should be stored.
The buying and storing OF -four and
sugar is a mistake, for by reducing
the retail stocks 1t automatically
forces UP prices. The present high
price of food staples is in no small
measure due to such boarding.
Almost anyone who lives in
house may store vegetables success
fully for winter use, for he will
possess either a cellar, an attic or a
backyard. He cannot do this, how
ever, unless he knows how. Sweet
potatoes that will keep until March
in a place that is cool, dry and
properly ventilated, win begin to rot
in less than week if kept in the
Kitchen A storeroom that would be
entirely adequate in the Carolinas
would not serve at all in Massa-
chusetts. Expert advice is, therefore,
an absolute necessity. The cost OF
making a storeroom, however. need
not be more than few dollars in
most cases.
For the apartment dweller the case
is different, and generally hopeless.
He usually has nothing in the way of
a commissary department except
with the emphasis on the
diminutive, and he is necessarily a
paper bag dweller." Yet, as DIR. Cor
