Who wouldn't have the mumps if
he could catch 'em from Marguerite
Clark? Charles c. Ayres got kiss

mumps that after his recovery when
they were making four-minute
speeches in the Lincoln, school he told
about them and was awarded the GER
tifcate for the best speech.

Thriller Staged
Before elimination
of Pretty Romance

When a war bridegroom drops
right out of a clear sky and train
ing camp that he may play a co-star
part at his own wedding many times
he has as many worries and tribula-
tions as the bride herself. Capt. Rob-
ert Burns, who needed wedlock's well
kin last week, was nervous man for
many days before the nuptials took
place.
The young officer didn't know def
nitely until Tuesday that he could OBJ
tain his leave of absence. and as the
great day fell on Saturday you can
imagine that his mind was not en-
tirely on squads right and squads
left" all of the time.
But Uncle Sam is really a kind
hearted soul under his fierce military
exterior and as wedding gift he
granted seven days leave of abb
sence to the captain. You probably
think that the rest was clear sailing
and all that was necessary was to
pin the brides veil in place and pull
out the stops in the organ for the
ever famous wedding march, but not
so. Follow us closely and we will
tell you of a wild ride from Des
Moines to our own fair city.
Capt Malcolm Baldrige, who was
to be best man, is the "possessor" not
of a beautiful soprano voice but of a
beautiful Packard Car, and in high
spirits the two friends left Des Moines
one lovely June day, anticipating
glorius ride with Captain Baldrige at
the wheel
Only few miles had been covered
when one tire collapsed entirely, but
the damage was soon repaired and
they rolled merrily on. But, we must
hurry on. too, and tell you that be-
fore they reached the metropolis of
Council Bluffs the two captains had
had the pleasure of repairing five
punctures. In desperation they 'phon-
ed Mrs. Charles I. Kountze, who hur-
ried to the rescue in her car.
The bridegroom's troubles were
not over however, for he had not yet
purchased all the necessary little de-
tails for the wedding And according
to hot weather schedule the stores
close at g. But the feat was accom-
plished and had you seen the stalwart
captain on Saturday evening standing
with military uprightness at the
chancel rail- his pretty bride on his
arm, you would never have guessed
what difficulties he had met and over
come.

Market Columns for
Women

lie market column in the newspa-
pers of eight cities in the United
States has become a woman's COL
umn, owing to new plan of the bu-
reau of markets, Department of
Agriculture. Henceforth in these
cities and in other large centers of
population, where plans are being
made for the department to cooper
ate with editors, market conditions
and prices will be presented in a
way every housewife will understand.
1t has been the custom to quote
wholesale prices, when the average
woman bought in small quantities,
and, therefore, there was no way of
determining when retailers were
charging unfair prices.
In Providence, R. l.; Boston, Mass. !;
Chicago, ILL.,; Springfield, Mass.
Cleveland, O.; St. Paul, Mimi; Grand
Rapids, Mich. and Denver. Colo, the
housewife can become as market
wise" as the huckster or the grocer,
because local market reporting serv-
ice, conducted by the bureau of mar
kets, in cooperation with local agen-
cies, is making public in nontechnical
form information about current food
supplies and prices for the benefit OF
producers, consumers and dealers.
The reports include shipped-in
fruits and vegetables, as we'll as those
brought in by local grocers, dairy,
poultry. and meat products and Ger
tain dry groceries, such as -four.
meals, dry beans, rice, etc. These re-
ports carry headlines such as Market
ing Guide for Boston Consumers"
followed by few paragraphs of COM
ment on daily market conditions that
affect the housewife. In most cases
the abundant" normal" and
"scarce" foods are listed under these
headings.
"This sort of publicity has the dou-
Bile effect of helping the housewife to
set her table more economically and
also of preventing gluts of products,
or at least greatly lessening their du-
ration" said G. V. Branch of the Bu-
reau of Markets, United States De-
partment of Agriculture. Our local
agents are constantly watching the
market, and when glut is expected
in certain fruit, for instance, he be-
gins to tell the housewife to get jars
and sugar ready for canning. Some
times he gives recipes. In this way the
demand is increased and considerable
spoilage is avoided.
Briefly, the situation works out
along the following lines: The house.
wife is informed through the local
press reports that tomatoes are plenti-
ful and that the retailer is paying Is
cents a bushsl, or about oH cents a
half peck. The consumer compares
this information with the price that
the retail dealer is charging, and if
the price is unreasonably high the re-
taller is soon forced by the demands
of his patrons to make fair charge.
Consumers then buy so freely, when
the price is lowered, that the glut is
consumed, to the advantage OF all,
even the retailer, for he finds that he
makes as good or better net profit by
selling large quantity quickly at a
low price than he did by selling a few
at a higher price with much loss
through spoliation.
In communities where the report
ing service has operated representa-
t!ves OF all classes concerned with
marketing problems feel that the
service has become a distinct benefit
Growers report that prices have been
stabilized and losses greatly reduced.

Just then a farm truck drew up

"If only had some Camouhage
Perfume" Peggy stopped short in
the midst of her wish. Something had
dropped out of the oak tree above her
head and struck her on the nose. She
looked down. 1t was an acorn--the
same kind OF an acorn Judge Owl
had sent to her with the message:

VIII hide you In air so none can see
Peggy eagerly picked up the acorn
and took sniff of it. Sure enough
it was Camouhage Perfume, and it
worked, for her body instantly faded
from view.
She had to hurry if she was going
to catch ride, for the farmer was
starting his engine. She hoped on
the motortruck and away they went.
When the neared Birdland Woods,
the farmer grew nervous. He re-
membered the strange happenings on
the trip when he carried Peggy before,

w look her loveliest she wears
pink georgette crepe. Elabor-
ate beadwork gives a stunning effect
20 this otherwise simple frock of that
material. The bib line Of the bodice
is most becoming to the well-devel-
oped figure, and nohing is more grace
full than the bias tunic, weighted with
bead embroidery. The scant under
skirt of georgette is only wide enough
to step comfortably. This gown will
develop beautifully in any shade of
georgette, dark purple, navy, orchid
or blue. For the dressy summer frock
few models have more style.
