Prudence watched them with painful
soliatude. Her years Of mothering
had given her an almost supernatural
intuition a. to causes and effects.
On Wednesday morning Mr.. Starr
bAde his family goodby and set out on
Q tour Of Epworth league conventions.
He was to be away from home until
the end of the following week. A
prospective Presbyterian theol0sian
had besn selected from the college to

At ten o'clock the train carried their

returned to the parsonage. Prudence.
Fairy and Aunt Grace sat sewing on
the side porch a. they cut across the
parsonage lawn. their feet crinkling
pleasantly through the drift Of autumn
leaves the wind had piled beneath the
trees.
"we're out Of potatoes. twins," said
Prudence, as they drew near. you'll
have to dig some before dinner"
For one instant their complacent fea-
lures clouded. Prudence looked up e.
pectantly, sure Of q break in their Sc
rene placidity.
One doubtful second, then
"Certainly, Prudence" said Carol
brightly.
And Lark added genially, "We'd bet
ter fll the box, I guess-s0 we'll have
enough for the rest Of the week."
And singing light but unharmonic
snatch Of song, the twins went In
search Of basket and hoe.
Prudence's brows Knitted In anxiouA
frowns and she sighed q few times.
"What 10 the matter. Prue1 You

Fairy.

answer.

"Why. they've acted like angels lately" I"

Fairy laughed and returned to her
embroidery. Aunt Grace smiled and

began plying her needles once more.
But Prudence still looked troubled,
and sighed often.
There was NO apparent ground for
her alarm. The twins came back with

In the afternoon they Joined the
little circle on the porch, but not to

Prudence, In spite Of her devotion to

"What are you reading1" she asked

to Simple Terms.

Small Children, Grandfathers and
orandmothers May Be Efficient
Soldiers In Service Of Nation
by Assisting.

Anybody who can do good house.
work and who will make serious ef-
fort to master some essential details
can be a successful home Gamer.
OF course, good sense and more than
ordinary care must be exercised, and
certain definitely demonstrated prin-
ciples must be adhered to.
It Is not necessary to discuss those
principles here. The United States
department of agriculture has reduced
them to simple terms and printed them
In plain language. Full printed infor-
nation on canning may be had from
the department of agriculture by any
who care to ask for it-both general
Information and specific Information
on particular fruits and vegetables. In
addition to that, the department Of
agriculture has an army Of home DEM
onstrators, experts In canning, who are
anxious to give practical, first-hand in
struction, and one of whom is within
reach Of practically every housewife in
the United States.
Operation and Equipment.
The operation Is simple. Means Of
instruction are adequate and easily
available. The equipment Is neither
expensive nor hard to find. An or
dinary wash boiler with some strips of
board at the bottom Is as good a cam
ming boiler as can be found. There Is
no equipment required in canning be-
yond the ordinary articles to be found
IN the average household.
The things that must not be 20 read
lily dismissed Is the duty Of everybody
to see to 1t that all fruits and vege-
tables not required for immediate use
shall be canned and carried over into
the winter, to increase the food supply
Of q world that, for some time to come.
cannot be very far from the verge Of
hunger.
There II. as everybody knows, a
shortage Of available labor for food
production. All people cannot do all
the kinds Of labor that are necessary
TO produce food. But here Is an op-
portunity for those who cannot plant
and plow, harvest and gather into the
Earner-an opportunity to make avail
able large quantities Of a. good food
~ there is In the world.
Housewife as Director.
Probably the housewife. In most
cases. will have to be the director of
the canning operations. But, in most
cases, she will not have to do all, or
even the greater part. of the labor. In
most Of the processes Of canning. boys
and girls-even comparatively small
boys and girls-can be efficient help
ers. Old persons-grandmoth who
have ceased to be active heads of
houses and grandfathers who have
long since retired from businessman
do excellent work in helping along the
canning operations render as real
and as efficient service to the nation
a. their stalwart sons who are growing
food crops or making munitions Of
var Or building ships.

AUDIENCE
CHARMED
ASSEMBLIES At NINTH STREET
CHRISTIAN CHURCH TO
HEAR MRS. LEWIS.

The visit Of Mrs. Marvin II. Lewis
to Hopkinsville. last evening and her
patriotic address at the Christian
church brought out large assembly
Of loyal men. women and children.
Before the arrival Of the speaker, the
audience entertained itself by singing
patriotic songs such as the Star Span
gled Banner. Battle Hymn ~ the Re-
public. Keep the Home Fires Burning
and Over There. The latter was
sung by the Boy Scouts, led by Doug
las Williamson.
In few happy and complimentary
remarks. Mr.. G. r. Clark introduced
the speaker Of the evening. Mrs.
Lewis lost no time in getting into
her speech and she made a deep and
lasting impression upon her hearers
by the simple. direct and feeling
manner in which she pictured to them
the horrible atrocities and crimes Of
the German soldier in France, Bel
GUM and Poland as practiced upon
defenseless men, women and child
ren.
Mrs. Lewis main effort was TO
inspire the women Of this section with
the patriotism that this is as much
woman's war as II is a mans war.

RAPIDLY.

Miss Mary Clark. County Chair
man Of the Woman's Liberty Loan
Campaign has received from head
quarters instructions and plans for
organizing in Christian county a

Although this department has just
benn organized and started. several

eeived. And from present indiea.
tions this Is going to prove one OF
the most popular departments OF the

plication as early as Nossible to LIB
erty Loan Headquarters or to anyone
