selvse to Two Pounds of Sugar
Per Person Per Month for
Household Use?

To honorable equalize the limited
sugar supply among all who sit at
our common table.
To give our soldier and the Allied
armies the sugar they require for
the quick energy and the super
human endurance necessary for
fighters.
To give the people of England two
pounds per month.
To give the people of France one
and one-half pounds per month.
To give the people of Italy one
pound per month.
+ There is only limited amount OF
sugar available until the next crop,
We cannot increase the amount but
we must divide it honestly.

EASY FOR THIS FARMER.
His Harvest Taken Care of by
Thousand Soldiers.

his harvest Iaken care OF by
Thousand Soldiers.
To the strains of Bringing in the
SheaVesS' patriotic selections and
martial airs, the largest threshing
crew ever known to work in one field
in Indiana, recently harvested sew
enteen acres of wheat near the State
School for the Deaf near Indianapo-
lis. The crew was composed of L.
900 drafted men attending vocation
al training school there.
The number of men at the school
had become so large that suitable
drill ground was lacking Nearby
was the seventeen acre wheat field
The owner offered the soldiers the
use of his field for drilling as soon
as the wheat was off," He did not
have the men and facilities for
handling it, and could not obtain
help.
The commanding officer at the
training school told the farmer to
order a threshing machine into the
field at seven o'clock the next morn
ing and the wheat would be taken
care Of regardless of teams and wag-
ions.
The farmer reported the threshing
outfit ready for work, and within a
few minutes 1000 young soldiers
marched into the field headed by the
band. They were instructed to carry
the bundles of wheat to the thresher.
Since then the men have drilled
in the field.

KICKED BY ZEBRA, DIES.
Fayette County Man Killed at Cler
mont by Circus Animal.

West Union, Aug. 5.-The distinc-
ton of being the only man in Fay
cite county, and perhaps in the state
of Iowa, to die as result of being
kicked by zebra, belongs to Henry
Grossman of Clermont, town about
ten miles north of here.
Honest Bills" circus showed in
Clermont last Friday, having been IN
West Union Thursday. Henry Gross
man, aged IS, attended the perfor-
nance and came too near the zebra's
rear guard. His stomach was torn
wide open by the violent blow of the
vicious animals heels. Az surgical
operation was performed but failed
to save the mans life, and he died
Monday. Today, Tuesday a suit for
900 damages was filed by the
mans relations against Honest
Bill" The plaintiff alleges that the
zebra was running at large in the
circus grounds while the defense
claims that Mr.. GSossman was feel
ing the zebra's stripes to see if they
were real or painted.
On Thursday evening while Hon
est Bills" aggregation was in West
Union, an ostrich escaped from the
,grounds, creating much excitement
and conservation as it raced down
the street, which was crowded by
motorists hurrying to get home be-
fore a coming storm. After futile
attempts to blind the bird with flash
lights, he was finally captured by
lassoing, when he had gone several
blocks from the circus grounds.

those undertaken directly by or under
contract with the War Department or the
Navy Department of the United States

foure looks well in some modification OF
this style and very little good trimming
shows to advantage on the tlat-tabs OF
material, that often hang at irregular
lengths over the satin skirt.
All Satin Dresses.
Satin is the leading material favored
for dressy wear, and while some drapery
is employed on these dresses it is Of the
simpler sort, georgette crepe with satin
makes many modish costumes, and near
Nv every style shows more or less fringe
in its finishings. Anything that is fringe
goes. from heavy twisted styles that sug-
pest upholstery trimmings, to long silken
aprons of Hawaiian proportions. Wool
and silk cashmere and homespun mix
lures are also bidding for favor, and for
sport use corduroys are favored especially
in the brown tones.
Colors.
Brown, particularly the new ''Henna"
shade-a reddish tint-is liked and will be
used as contrast as we'll as for the body
color of the dress. Taupe, with touches
of Henna, and with peacock blue and
terra Gotta with navy or navy and tan or
putty color, are some of the notable COM
binations. Velvets, especially in black
and brown are very fashionably endorsed
and now checked velveteens make novel
looking suits.
Prices have scared to startling heights,
but there is great opportunity to remodel
last years clothes with little additional
material and everyone is proud to con-
serve and yet look well and stylishly
turned out. LUCY CARTER.
