SECRETARY HOUSTON OF AGRl.
 MAKES APPEALS 10 FARMERS

In an appeal to the farmers to put their savings into Govern.lent War Savings Certificates, Secretary of Agriculture Houston today said
 1t is the patriotic duty of every citizen who is in a position to do so, to invest in War Savings and Thrift Stamps and thereby help the Nation to win this war. The purchase of even a twenty five cent Thrift Stamp, is a definite contribution to this end.
 "War Savings and Thrift Stamps foster the habit of Thrift in small ex penditures, make it possible for near ly every one to purchase what are ln reality small Government bonds, and offer unique opportunity to the peo- pie at once to help their Government and to economize conveniently for the purchase of the best investment SC curities in the world.
 4To win this war, we must have both men and money. know that every farmer wants to do everything in his power for the Nation. in this day of trial. He will not only labor to produce the nece sary foodstuffs, but will also generously contribute of his means to make 1t possible for the men at the front to achieve victory. I am confidence thaf the farmers of the land will not permit any other class to financially or otherwise.

(. OF {. CAMPAIGN
 WAKES WARM

Have you been asked to join the Chamber of Commerce. If not, it Is surely an oversight, as the Red and Blue tickets are now busily engaged in soliciting new members, and votes for their side, in the annaul election, which takes place next Monday night.
 Both sides are carrying on an ag- gressive campaign, an dthe result will be to ad many names to the roll of this organization. Campaign mana gers of both the Red and the Blue ticket were loud in their claims this morning, but we haven't seen any bet ting, yet, except, that a large mem bersip will be enrolled next Monday night at the meeting of the organiza- tion.
 If you are not a member of the Chamber of Commerce, make your ap- plication today, for much can be ac- complished, by the business men of Malvern pulling together, and the only way to pull together, is to have a good live, commercial organization. Many things may be done for the city in this way, and the c. of c. should have the backing of every live busi- ness man in the city.
 Get in the game today, and help pull the election next Monday night, and then see to it, that you remain interested, and attend every meeting that is held thereafter.

ALL MUST HELP
Your Loving So

We have great deal of money to raise, and it cannot be raised by bank CTS alone" says Hon. Wm. c. McAdoo. "'The Banks of this country have Inot resources to sustain America S needs in this war and to enable Amer lea to extend to our Allies who are fighting with us, the essential aid which they must have to enable them to go on with the war.
 "The rich of this country alone can not do it. The men of this country alone cannot do it. The women of this country alone cannot do it.
 sBut all of us, the people of the United States, by disregarding part isanship, forgetting selfish interest, thinking only of the supremacy of right and determined to vindicate the majesty of our ideals and to secure the safety of Americans and civiliza- tion, can do this great and splendid piece of work.
 Our business these days is to think only in terms of America; to for get ambition, to forget partisanship to forget everything except right and justice and triumph for America's cause and the suppression forever of those infamous things which have cast civilization itself into darkness during these last three horrible years. Every man, woman and child, in this country who wants to serve, can serve and they can serve in very sim pie and effective way Every twenty five cents invested in War Savings Stamps is loan to your Government and every twenty five cents will do something to help"

 HIGHEST SCORE

The following letter received by F. H. Mccormack, from his son, Ross. speaks well for this young Malvern man, who is serving his country, and will be read with much pleasure by his many friends here:
 My Dear Father:-
 We finished our record today and l got the highest score in all the company, that shot, 272 points out of the possible 300.
 When you see me again I will be wearing an expert rifleman's medal.
 That's holding Up the Mccormack record isn't it?
 There were only four experts in our Go.
 They called all of the experts from all the companies that shot today, and asked for those who wanted to go to France to hold up their hand.
 I held up mine with several others. They are going to keep us on the Is land for six weeks or coaches on the range and then we will be sent to Iuantico, Va, as instructors there.
 Then we will be given companies, as sole instructors, five to company
 We will get it soft from now on, but the others will have to work like everything.
 Give my love to all.
 Your Loving Son,

MALVERN STUDENTS
 BUY MORE STAMPS

pupils doubled in three weeks.
 Another survey was made Monday to see how the different classes in school stand relative to the purchas- ing of w. s. S., and Thrift Stamps. The record below shows more than twice the previous amount. The sem iors, apparently ashamed of their small small showing of $3.50 before, have reached the 104. mark This shows the largest per cent increase by far. They also lead in number of Stamps purchased by High School classes.
 Notice that the Banner Class is the fifth grade, Mrs. J. H. Roseberry teacher. You may recall that the room of Miss Francis Davis led be- fore. This room is composed of 9th and 9th grade pupils. It is close second now
 Liberty Bonds were included before. This time only W. s. S., and Thrift Stamps are counted.
 We are pleased to find so much in- terest manifested by our pupils. Let us encourage them that they may do their bit as we'll as learn some very practical lessnos in thrift.
 The following shows results in school not counting the primary de- partment:

BUNCE HAD TOO
 MANY WIVES IS
 CLAIM IN COURT

Judge Haines in the Superior court yesterday granted one orvorce ana continued two other cases for further evidence. The divorce granted was to Lesa Parmlee Bunce from John W. Bunce, who alleged that at the time she was married to Bunce he already had two wives living and not divorc- ed. Since then one of his wives died and the other secures ats. <vorce from him.

LYRIC

Surrounded by a story of physiolo gical mystery in which a girl adopts a dual personality as the result of an accident "De Luxe Annie" the pro- duction to be presented by the Poli Players at the Lyric theatre prom ises to be one of the most interesting that has appeared at this popular playhouse this season. The produc- ton has ibeen designated one of the best of all crook plays which have appeared during a decade and con- tains some of the most thrilling sit nations and an element of mystery which will arrest and hold the at- tention of the most skeptical audience.
 'tDe Luxe Annie" in her original personality is seen as a good girl with clean thoughts but through a blow -nr-4he head inflicted by s crook q clot forms on the brain causing her to lose this personality and she be- comes thoroughly bad and one of the leading female crooks of the time. She links herself with a band of criminals and adopts as her pal the very man who struck her and to- getiaer they commit depredations that cause tlps entire police force of their city to sit up and take notice. In the final act an operation is per- formed which restores her original personality and she remembers noth- ing of what has passed and once again becomes the good girl she was. The scenes are laid in a neighboring city. New Canaan, which makes the production doubly interesting to Bridgeport playgoers.
 Tonight the final performance of '1The Girl Without a Chance" or the truth about the White Slave traffic will be given. Tho production has scored repeated success during the past week and those who have not seen 1t are advised to reserve their seats at once.
 Tomorrow night another of the famous double feature bills will be given at the photoplay concert with winsome Mary Picl1ford as the lead ST in Stella Maris," and Charlie Chaplin a close second in "The Jazz Waiter" A comedy by the Mack Bennett company and the Hearst Pethe weekly news in addition to a 1 concert throughout by the Lyric or chestra completes most excellent program There will be two perform ances the first at o'clock and the second ct o'clock with the usual prices prevailing.

USED HUMAN FLESH FOR BAIT
Hawaiian Klngs Utilized Bodies of Slaves or Enemies to Lure Mon
 sters of the Ocean.

Tn the days of Hawaiian kings, ev- cry part of the bone and skin of a shark was supposed to confer Unfinch- Ing bravery upon the possessor. Wherefore, shark-fshing was then a regal sport. In Those days, the bait much in vogue was the human body either the body of a slave or of some one against whom the royal parsonage had taken a sudden dislike, according to Outing.
 Kamehareha I. was especially proud md jealous of his title of the Great shark-Fisher. He kept his victims penned up near the great temple of Mookini, near Kawaihar, on the island of Hawaii. He therefore had a plen- tiful supply always on hand.
 The person chosen to act as bait, was killed, cut up, placed in cala- bash, and allowed to mellow for few days. The mellowing process con- summated, the bait was lashed to the outrigger of the royal canoe in such manner as to leave behind a drip ping trail of blood and oil. Upon reaching the fishing grounds, the bait was unlashed. Large hooks fashioned from wood or hone, were then "bait- ed" and lowered over-side. Historians tell us that great skill and courage were shown by the members of the royal party on such occasions in the roping and landing of the captured | shark.

The Social Fabric.

To uphold the social system women submit to uncounted tests of their con- stancy. They endure physical discom- fort, ennui, the peril of cold drafts and damp places, hours of weariness and moments of acute annoyance for the sake of what, to man, is an unim- portant social matter. And even though at times she feels that it would matter little if the whole social scheme of things should perish-and that in- stantly with fire and bloodshed if need be-rather than require so much of her, she stands to her colors.

Warm Though Far North.

It is difficult to realize, but it is none the less true, that the Murman coast of Russia is as far north as King Will liam Land, where Sir John Franklin and his men abandoned the Erebus and the Terror. But the Gulf stream makes all the climatic difference. For that reason it is possible for Quebec to be much further south than London, and New York to be on the parallels of latitude of Spain and yet have winters of great severity Christian Science Monitor.
