Carl Emile Junck, the millionaire
importer of Chicago, said in a Red
Cross address:
''The grain shortage in Germany
is a most hopeful augury for the
Allies. Germany one of these days
will reach the starvation point. The
war will then end automatically.
Grain to-day flows out with such
dangerous slowness to the German
people that it reminds one of the old
stone mill.
"a miller, you know, had an old
fashioned stone mill that ground
very, very slowly A customer, after
watching the mill while, said:
"T could eat that meal faster than
your old mill can grind it,
'Mebbe So said the old miller.
'Mebbe so. But how long coIld We
keep on eatin' it?'
"Till I starved said the custo-
mer."

LIBERTY LOAN PRIMER THE
BIGGEST ANTI-HUN DRIVE.

That was some drive which Mar
shall Foch directed against the Huns
when he thrust them back from the
Marine and sent them skurrying to
their new line of defense along the
Aisne. Never for a moment did the
Hun-hungry poilous and Yanks stop
their dashing, smashing attack;
never for a moment did they give the
baby butchers breathing spell;
never for moment was there
thought with any one of them of
anything but putting just as many
Germans as possible permanently out
of business. 1t was a world thrill
ing exhibition of allied valor, slim
ulated by typical Yankee punch.
If gave the Crown Prince his most
decisive defeat of the war. It set the
Prussian-dominated press of all Ger
many to camoufiauging the situation.
1t shook the German army morale
and sent the first thrill of apprehen-
sion up and down the spine of the
whole German empire. 1t probably
intimated to Kaiser Bill that after
all the Lord was not altogether hold
ing up his end of the self-appointed
partnership. And it put new spirit,
new hope, new confidence into every
| war-weary allied heart.
1t was a magnificent thrust, but
the biggest anti-Hun drive of them
all, the one that will mean more to
the allied cause than the last victory
of the Marine, that will pave the way
for more tremendous onslaughts than
ever, will begin on the 2Sth of Sep
tember-the fourth Liberty Loan
drive.
We stay-at-homes could not par
ticipate in that glorious Marine vic
tory, but we can, every mothers son
of us, take part in this coming drive.
We can make our dollars fight for us.
We can show the world at large, our
boys in the trenches, and the Ger
man empire in particular, that the
heart of America is in this fight to
the limit.
And if our loyalty is genuine, if
our patriotism is simon pure, if our
sense of duty is thoroughly alive, we
will do this.
| Early we will begin laying aside
for our next bond purchase.
We will save as they struggle, lend
as they fight.
| And we will buy early.

TELEPHONE COMPANIES Re.
CEIVE THEIR WAR ORDERS

Postmaster General Burleson has
issued an order to all telephone COM
panies to confine extensions and bet

and to proceed as expeditiously as
possible with plans for consolidating
and unifying telephone plants where
the consolidation is desired by the
public.
In cases in which two telephone
systems are operating in the same
area the order directs the companies
to cooperate in making extensions
and betterments, that ratification and
elimination of waste in money, man
power and materials may be brought
about Gin an orderly way and with
due regard to the rights OF the own
ers of the properties and the conven-
hence of the public"

DISTRICT BOARD ANNOUNCES
LIST OF NON-ESSENTIAIS.

WASHINGTON, August 26.-The
fact that there now is a shortage in
war work of 100000 unskilled
laborers and that the reserve of skill
ed workers is exhausted developed
Thursday at a conference of field
agents of the Federal Employment
Service Further curtailment of nom
essential production is planned to re-
lease men for war work.
The labor shortage is so serious
that completion of a number of inn
portant war projects for the army and
navy is being delayed, it was stated
at the conference. The field agents
decided that the only way in which
the needed laborers could be secured
was to take them from non-essential
industries.
The following are the industries
which the District Board, the first to
make an announcement, has listed
as non-essential:
Automobile industry accessories,
drivers OF pleasure cars, cleaning, re-
pairing and delivery of same, sight
seeing cars, auto trucks, other than
those hauling fuel or doing Govern
ment work, teaming other than de-
livery of products for war work, bath
and barber shop attendants, bowling,
billiard and pool rooms, bottlers,
cigars and tobacco, cleaners and
dyers, clothing, CONNECTIONS and
delicatessen establishments, builders
and contractors not engaged in erect
ing structures for war work, dancing
academies, mercantile stores, florists,
fruit stands, junk dealers, livery and
sales stables, pawnbrokers, peanut
vendors, shoe-shining shops, window
cleaners, soft drink establishments,
soda fountain supplies.

ANOTHER DR.. JEKYIL AND MIR
HYDE.

1t seems strange that the products
needed for the feeding and clothing
Of our bodies can be used also for
destroying us and our property. Take
cotton for instance. In times Of
peace, this product of the Southern
farm is woven into clothing, its seeds
furnish us oil, feed and fertilizer.
It is transformed into the moving
picture film that entertains and in
structs us. But when international
disputes arise, this same cotton is
turned into an explosive that destroys
and mutilates all that it comes in
contact with. = Indiana Farmers

A NATIONAL CAMPAIGN FOR COL
LEGE STUDENT EN-
LISTMENTS.

One Of the most important an
nouncements issued by the War De-
partnent has to do with the Stu
dents Army Training Corps. Mem
bers of the S. A. T. G. are to be
able-bodied college students not I'M
der 18 years of age, who are enlist
ed as privates in this newIy-created
corps of the United States Army
They take along with their educa-
tional training such military train
lates.
This military training will be
given by competent officers and nom
commissioned officers appointed by
the War Department.
By this plan students will be
equipped for the peace and war needs
of the nation.
The war needs are enOrmous-our
allies have practically exhausted
their reserves of those experts so
necessary to the conduct of war of
such magnitude as the present one.
Trained engineers, electricians, trans
portation experts, doctors, surgeons,
accountants-the list could be ex-
tended indefinitely-are just as nee
essary for winning the war as are the
fighters in the trenches. !
The trench fighter can be trained
in a few months, but he must be
trained before he does any actual
fighting.
The specialists whose work is just
as important, also has to be trained.
Their training takes longer; but 1t
is absolutely necessary that we pro-
vide the trained men, without whom
the fighting men could not go on.
The period of training is, in both
cases, part of the fight, and the man
in training is doing his bit in the
best possible way.

A BILIOUS ATTACK.

When you have a bilious attack
your liver fails to perform its func-
tions. You become constipated. The
food you eat ferments in your stom-
,ach and causes nausea, vomiting and
a terrible headache. Take three Of
Chamberlain's Tablets. They will
tone up your liver, clean out your
stomach and you will soon be as well
as ever. They only cost a quarter.

Diary of a Fashion Model

g By GRACE TEORNCLIFFE

The skirt is softly draped in two tiers that reach to little below the hips.
 The bodice has a deep point in front finishing a panel that runs from the neck. The round collar of cream lace has a burnt orange velvetsbow in front. The sleeves are short, ending a little above the elbow, and finishing in fall of cream lace ruffles.
 The chief characteristics of this very individual gown are the draping of the bodice and the upper part of the skirt. The soft, deep ruff1es of organdie falling about the hips are very becoming almost to any one. They round out curves for the hipless girl and conceal any possible defects of waistline which are so common even among women with the most en- vied of slender figures.
 The softly draped bodice has neither pleat nor ruffle in it, but is allowed to hang naturally from the shoulders, ending in tiny gathers at the waist. The fiat panel from throat to waist line ends in a long point and thus gives little needed stiffness where it SO1S AhIO NhC HIp LII d pSIlSS'
 The rest of the skirt falls in loose gathers from underneath the hip draperies. The absence of any trim ming or pleat or panel of any kind on this skirt helps to carry out the effect of simplicity. The bodice and draper les are set off to greater advantage by the skirts untrimmed simplicity. It is in the hip draperies that skill counts. and Madame makes of it a fine art. Curiously, the placing of the | greatest fitness of the hip draperies not only effects the figure at that l point, but it also changes the appear | ance of the waistline a good deal. No matter how charmingly curved is the waistline, if you drop the hip draper | ies half an inch below the right place | the Waistline begins to look square and angular instead of charmingly i rounded. On the other hand, if the 1 hip fitness is too high an ugly chub- biness is given to the waist and bodice. l What is the right point of hip full ! ness depends on each individual figure. It cannot be reduced even to general averag measurements. Madame al- ways makes a most careful point of hip draperies s-studying the carriage of the shoulders thel ength of back from neck to waistline, the length of arms, for all these little things affect the final perfection.

The California cantaloupes are gone and receipts with this market are now from Ari- zona and the Carolinas. Flats of 12-15 each are bringing s2-225 or from 13-19c each. Carolina Stand ard crates containing 45 melons, are costing the retailer $4-4.50 or from | 9-10c each,
 The potato market is apparently unchanged, local new spuds bringing l $5.75 a barrel and $2 a bushel or | soc 8 peck and outside new potatoes are costing the retailer $550-6.5O a l barrel or 50-60c a peck.

MARY MAGDALEIN.

Catholics today will celebrate the festival of the first of woman saints on the Christian calendar, St. Mary Magdalen. To her first, after his mother, Jesus gave the certainty of ht~resurrection. Many legends are connected with her name, but the one generally accepted is that, after the crucifixion of Jesus, she, in company with the Virgin and Mary Salome, to escape persecution, set sail on the Mediterranean in a leaky boat, and after a miraculous deliverance, landed in the south of Gaul. Mary Mazda len then took refuge in Provence. The cave in which she is said to have lived for thirty years is still to be seen as is the chapel on the mountaintop
 where, according to legend she was caught up daily, like St. Paul ito wis., ions and revelations of the Lord"

"1 could change my disposition by changing my wastline," laughingly admitted Miss Joyce, as she tried on 8 demure little garden frock that Madame had designed for her.
 Wear your waistline six inches above where nature decided it, and you're sweet innocence ready to be taken in by the first mustached villain who crosses your path. Drop that same line to the hips and you're vampire! No actress could possibly play a wicked part in a Directoire gown nor feign innocence in a cling ing crepe de chine, whose waistline was invisible to the eye.

I met a rather forlorn youngster on the street, with his head high, but his lips quivering, and asked what he wanted, without appearing to notice his emotion. He said he could not find his father. He was just around the corner from home, so I took him. A man in khaki came out to meet him. He stopped down to pick the child up and as he did so the boy said: Daddy, I lost my quarters and don't like this post."-Chicago Tribune.

More Trouble From

R. c. Markee, commandant at the
Oregon Soldiers Home, has been caus-
ing more trouble, and it has been neces-
sary for the state board of control to
remind him that he is not the whole
push at the home.
This time he was causing trouble
among the nurses at the hospital Mt
the Home and some of them were quit
ting. Some time ago when Command
ant Markee was before the beard as
the result Of trouble he was causing at
the institution, the board informed
him that DR.. Stewart was to have com.
plete charge of the hospital The board
has again advised him that Dr. Stew
art has complete charge of the hospital
and for Markee to keep his hands off.
DR.. Stewart was given authority to
increase the salaries of some of the
nurses
