fer during this time a silent prayer
for the success of forces on the
b%attlefelds and on the seas. Most

There was a marked Improvement
last Sunday in the observance OF the
request of the fuel administration
calling on the people to abstain from
the use of motor cars for pleasure
purposes on Sunday. There were not
nearly so many car to be seen on the
streets as usual. However, there
were more than there should have
been. Many cars, no doubt, were
out for useful purposes, but there
were also some beng used for pleas
ure rides, which is not in keeping
with the spirit of gasless Sundays.
: Mr.. S. NJ. Goodwin, who farms on
DIR. Watson's place near town, showed
us a sample last week of some syrup
made from ribbon cane or millet.
The syrup had an excellent taste and
was quite palatable. Mr.. Goodwin
says IL 1-2 gallons were made from
two short rows. One advantage OF
this kind. of syrup is it a be made
a great deal earlier than cane syrup.
1t is also more prolific and rib
bon cane can be grown on any soil.
It is usually planted for hogs; there
fore it can made to serve a two-fold
purpose.
