The meat ration in Belgium is two
ounces a week. Iowa .householders
are asked to restrict their concump-
ton of beef to one and one.quarter
pounds, or twenty ounces week, but
are permitted to eat beef products
and other meat to make up for cutting
the beef ration. While Belgian suff-
erers have but two ounces, our TWEEN
ty ounces allowed cannot be cOnsid-
cred real sacrifice but is a sign Of
devotion to a great and noble cause,
whose victories and noble soldiers are
our, own sons, so let every woman
in Crawford county especially try to
save beef, and use only the allotted
supply. that our boys over there may
have plenty-they need it.

TINE announcement IL made In London
that Miss Elizabeth Asquith, young
- est daughter of England's late Prime
Minister. is to marry Stephen McKenna,
young novelist who has only recently
made asreputation in letters
Miss Asquith belongs to one Of the most
powerful families in England. both socially
and politically. and her engagement to
little known young author is clearly an
event and a romance of a very unusual
character.
What are the facts about the romance?
The most interesting fact, as London hears
It, is that Miss Asquith is the heroine OF
Mr.. McKenna's new and very entertaining
novel, entitled "Ninety-six Hours Leave"
Those who know say that Miss Asquth
was finally persuaded by the very charm
Ing portrait which the novelist made Of
her character TO bestow her hand on him
Many are equally convinced that Mr. Nc
Eenna was plunged deeper and deeper in
love by his labor Of love in depicting Miss
AsQuith's attractions
All who have read the book and are
heroine, who bears the name OF Patricia
Kavanagh, is a remarkably lifelike presen-
tation Of the ex-Premier's daughter
Patricia Kavanagh is a British generals
daughter, and she spends her DAYS until
the small hours OF the morning laboring
for soldiers and war workers canteen.
Miss Asquith has been working like a
Trojan for canteens. relief funds and other
war organizations
Patricia Kavanagh is unconventional.
frank daring. impulsive. playful SO is
Miss Elizabeth AsQuith
What clinches the resemblance between
the novel heroine and the ex-Premier's
daughter is the daring with which Patricia
Kavanagh solves the crucial difficulty of
the story-vhen she walks in unanuounced
on royal prince and tells him the truth
about the amazing network of practical
jokes and real conspiracies in which he
has become involved
