ABit of Figgerin'
Contributed by Briggs.
By JOSEPH c. LINCOLN


Caleb Rogers was seated at the LITTLE
esk behind the counter Of his "gen
eral store" at Rogers Corners. His
check book was open before him. and
he was tapping his front teeth with
the end of a penholder and apparently
considering deeply. Daniel Griggs
who owns the big farm half mile uE
the road, entered the store and stood
for moment regarding its proprietor
with an amused smile.
"Well, Caleb" he observed, "you
look and act more like Rockefeller
every day you live. I presume likely
you're figgerin' whether you'll invest
this months income in more Standard
lie or use it to buy your wife another
diamond cOllar?"
Mr.. Rogers smiled also, but he was
serious enough moment later.
"Dan," he said, II tell you what l
was fggerin'. l was fggerin' whether
/ hadn't better make the check l was
goin' to give the Red Cross folks a
hundred instead Of fifty"
Griggs' mouth opened In astonish-
ment.
What About Jim GrIogs7
"You give a hundred dollars to the
Red Cross, Caleb Rogers !" he demand
ed. "Youl Are you crazy? You sar-
tainly amt worth any more money
than / am, and was calculatin' to give
about ten-not more'n fifteen anyway.
The Red Cross is mighty fine thing.
/ know that well enough. But If you'll
tell me why folks no richer than you
and me should give"-
Caleb's foot, which had been resting
over one corner Of the desk, came to
the floor with bang. He straighten-
ed, leaned forward and shook his fore
finger earnestly at his visitor.
"Tell your" he repeated. Eyes, Dan
Griggs, will tell you. I'll tell you be-
cause you've got boy, same as have,
up here at the big camp, and 1t won't
be many weeks, or even days, afOre
they're both over on t'other side Of the
big pond fightin' the most cussed,

and murderers that ever rugged up in |
uniforms and killed women and babies
for fun. Oh, of course you know all
that, you'll say. You know your son
has enlisted and Is goin' to war, to
battle, to run his chance along with
the rest Of bein' killed or wounded or
taken prisoner You know 1t, yes, in a
general way you do. Such things, the
and all that happen to other
boys every day, but it's amazin' how
slow fellers like you and me are to re-
alize that they're just as likely to hap
pen to that one boy we set so much
store by. It's what I've just been try
n to realize, Dan. I've been sittin'
lere thinkin' 1t out.
'Take my own boy-Or take yours,

SCGAR-CSING FACTORIES NOW
ON STRICT RATIONS.
Those Making Essential Food Prod
ucts Only Ones Exempted.

SPOKANE, May 24.-Manufac-
turers using sugar except to make
essential food products are now on
strict rations, Federal Food Admin
istrator Hebberd announces. The
order is made to assure sufficient
supplies for home Gamers and the
commercial manufacturers of pre-
serves. jams and other foodstuffs re-
garded as essential.
The restrictions went into effect
May Is and limit the consumption by
manufacturers of the less essentials,
particularly confectionery and soft
drinks, to only 80 per cent of las.
years requirements. Under the new
plan distribution will be we'll po-
Iced and under a certificate system
that virtually assures the elimination
of fictitious demands.
Control of distribution is in the
hands of Food Administrator Heb
berd, who will issue certificates to all
manufacturers requiring sugar. upon
delivery of sworn statement showing
the amounts to which each is en-
titled. No distributing agency will
be allowed to sell sugar to any class
of manufacturers except upon deliv-
cry of certificates, which run to July
l, when new conservation measures
may be deemed advisable.

Let no man or woman underrate the
work already done to make the world
safe for democracy, or doubt that we

ability and resources to fight our way
to victory. II mistakes have been
made, we have learned from them.
Even after 40 years Of calculated war
preparations the German bureau
cracy has made serious mistakes dur
ing this war.
"Such delays as have been encoun-
tered in our war preparations have
taught US to remove the obstacles
and make up for lost time by inten-
styling speed. A big new job was
never done without some mistakes
and some delays. Tho important
thing Is that every possible effort is
now being exerted to Offset them"
Misrepresentation Of the nations

urged to stamp it out wherever it ap-
pears. thus guaranteeing the boys in
the trenches against the enemies at

MUSTARD GAS WORST

and severe coughing and vomiting en-
sue.
Direct contact with the spray causes
blistering of the skin, and the vapor
penetrates through the clothing. Gas
masks, OF course, do not protect
against this. The symptoms are similar
to pneumonia high fever, heavy
breathing and often stupor.
The damage done by mustard gas IS
n slow and insidious development. The
breaking down of the affected tissues
is slow. the height being reached from
five to ten days after the burn is re-
ceived. The painlessness is also a
marked characteristic. Healing is
slow.
Mustard gas besides being used in
direct attack, Is also used for "neutra-
llzation." For instance, where supplies
and ammunition are being brought up.
a few mustard gas shells will result
In dangerous confusion and delay. A
part Of the infantry is "neutrallzed''
by having food and ammunition cut
