catalogue Of the forms it may assume.
Certainly the spirit has been
abundantly present in these communi-
ties near our training camps. The aid
which the War Camp Community Serv-
ice has been able to render in it's ex-
preston Is partly indicated in the fol-
lowing account Of some Of the things
that are being done.
Soldiers Clubs.
One form Of this War Camp Commu-
nifty Service is the starting OF soldiers
clubs: clubs which the soldiers run
themselves. usually through non-com-
misSiOned officers, in which they find
opportunities for bowling billiards.

talk and listen to music, to read or

the navy men, 70 secure a nights lOdg-

Newport where a tract of 125 acres
has been secured, with an old mansion
on it, now fitted up for all the pur-
poses of a club with q grove Of trees,
in which 100 hammocks have been
slung, a bathing beach, ample OppOr-
tunities for every kind Of outdoor
game, an outdoor theatre at which last
summer as many as 5000 navy men
were sometimes present. The naval
authorities have So appreciated the re-
sources of this club that they spent

number Of other cases in which this

the new has taken place.
Athletics.
Another thing the War Camp Com
munity Service is doing is getting up
games and athletic sports between sol
\ dierS from Inherent camps, ana be
/ tween soldiers or sailors and local
/ teams. Some of the football games
/ have attracted large crowds of specta-
+ tors, and the proceeds have been hand
\ ed over 10 the soldiers TO buy footballs
or other athletic supplies.
/ Mobiizing Community Resources.
The more important, though less
visible, part of this Community Serv-
ice is not in doing things directly for
/ the soldiers but in getting the com
munity itself TO do them.

SUGAR SHOWED
OUR BACKBONE
American Willingness to Give Up
Luxury Demonstrated Ma
tion's War Conscience.
STAND WITH THE ALLIES
BY Reducing Consumption People Of
the United States Averted
Famine at Home In Spite
Of Low Supplies.

The fact that the people Of the
United States were able to reduce by
more than one-half million tons their
July, August, September and October
consumption of sugar proves cOnclu-
sively that their war conscience was
thoroughly awakened and that the
country as q whole stood ready to fol-
low the injunctiOns Of the Government.
Our normal consumption Of sugar in
the four-mOnth period beginning with
July has been 100000 tons persmonth.
total of 100000 for the quarter
year.
In July, when our sugar stringency
began to reach Its height, consumption
was reduced to 100000 tons. In An,
gust only 325,0OO tons went into dis.
tribution and in September only 279.-
600 tons. In October the distribution
fell to 100000 tons.
II the general public had failed to
observe the injunctions Of the Food
Administration this country would
have been in the thrOes of a sugar
famine before the end Of August. Our
visible supplies were so low as to bring
the sugar situation. They feared that
1t would be absolutely impossible to
reduce consumption to point where
sugar would no longer be a mere lux
ury in the American diet
Few accomplishments OF the Food
Administration will stand forth so pre-
dominantly as this reduced consump
tiOn Of sugar. BY 1t we have been able
to bridge over the period Of strlngencv
until the new beet and Louisiana canr
sugar crops were In sight.
Now the nation is in a position so
that II we choose we may return to
our normal home use of sugar, and
Europe with the release OF ships to go
far afield, can maintain its recent re-
stricted ratiOns. If, however, those
nations are to increase their use of
sugar very considerably 1t must be by
our continued sharing with them
through limiting our own cOnsump.

Now II. Rotter,,ess Pie.

When is pie net pie?,is a ques-
tiOn which will tax the wits of some
wartime Solomon to solve in sQuarely
facing the issue Of "bottOmless pies"
as measure of war saving of food
stuffs in the latest Hooverized innova-
ton Of baking for the nation. The
movement TO remove the bottom crust
from pies is being taken hold of by
housewives and bakers generally. and
is gaining wide support. New York Is
a pie-eating city. 1t is estimated that
an entire pie is eaten between Is per-
sons daily. or total consumption of
100000 pies each day in the metropoli-
tan district. In one year the collective
stomachs of New YOrk's pie-eaters ab-
sOrb 1S2.OO0,0OO of the dainties. Some
one with penchant for large figures
has gone so far even to state that the
bottom crust of those pieces, If rolled
out with large rolling pin across a
40-acre lot, would in week cover the
surface Of the field and lap over the
fence posts. On the basis of 100000
pies eaten by the entire nation each
day. at the end Of the year the bottom
crust of the pies would form strip
of crust nine yards wide and long
enough to encircle the globe at the
equator. Some crust.

Brave Milk Girl. of Reim..

The little milk girls of Reims are
given high rank by Paul Dramas of
that martyred city, in an article he has
written praising the heroism displayed
by the women of Reims.
"The little milk girls" he writes,
"will never be forgotten at Reims
Milk was n necessity for the children,
the aged and the sick. Thanks to the
little milk girls they never went with
out. The tlnkling of their little bells
announced their arrival and for A
months they traversed all the streets
of the city. Many time they were
taken by surprise by a storm of shells.
Three Of them had to be carried away
on stretchers, yet the others continued
on their route so that the children and
sick should have their milk all the
same. On February 2S we heard the
tinkling Of their bells for the last time.
The little milk girls We're sent out Of
the city. They had filled their mis-.
sion to the very end. for after that
there were no longer in Reims either
children, aged or sick. All had left"

LUKE MeLukE SAYS

wouldn't this be a fine old world II
1t took as long to spend money as II
does to earn 1t?
And what has become Of the old-fash-
ioned girl who used to wear "shim-
my?"
Some men spend their lives sitting
down and trying to determine the cas-
lest way to make living.
Life with the average married woman
Is a constant round of trying to get a
$50 outfit with IS bill.
Another Damli: Once upon time
there was wife who believed that she
was getting all the best of the deal.
The reason why a street faker gets
something for nothing is because he is
talking to crowd that wants some
thing for nothing.
Remember this. and act accordingly:
The world will walk away from you
when you try to explain why you failed.
And the world will shake hands with
you and spend an hour listening to how
you made good
After a man has learned all there is
in books. he has to get married to COM
petite his knowledge.
Did you ever stop to think that hap
piness depends more on what you don't
do than 1t does on what you do do?
You have to beat little boy to make
him wear his Sunday clothes once a
week. And you have to beat little
girl to keep her from wearing her Sum
day clothes every day in the week.
A. fellow doesn't call a girl a peach
just because she has fuzz all over her
cheeks.
Too many men pray for their broth
ers one day week and try to bunk
them the other six days.
We do not know much about diagno-
sis. But we do know that If a small
boy comes home at night with his face
and hands clean, we would give him a
big dose of castor oil and then send
for the doctor.

STILL HAVE BARN.RAIslNes
Good Old Custom Has Not Died Out.
Though the Conditions Have
Greatly Changed.

The Connecticut Valley Advertiser
tells its readers that on Saturday of
last week barn-raising was held at
Hadlyme with about everybody in Had
lyme and East Haddon present. That
seems much like the old type of barn
raisings, but something new comes in
the statement that three kinds of Ii.
guilds were to be had for the asking,
one being water and another root beer.
Formerly there were but two, one be-
ing hard cider and the other West In.
dia rum.
From early times up to 40 years ago
dwellers In the country did not have
the knack Of erecting a building with
no more timber In 1t than could be car.
ried on a wheelbarrow hence. to erect
the frame for a barn or house was q
work which taxed the strength Of all
the men and boys in the community
and which brought the local carpenter
into a place Of proud Importance. II
was considered altogether out of the
question to do the work without stimu.
lants. and these were furnished gen.
erously. for, though man might be
"close" about many things, he could
not afford to ration those who came tc

rest of his life in the community.
Having this In mind. he bought rum

raise building without 1t. and, on
some occasions. fairly difficult to raise
one with it. Not infrequently It was
found necessary to continue the work
to second day because the spirits
from st. Croix had done their work
not wisely but too well. Changing man.
ners have modified the work. for the
Advertisers account says that the barn
was raised in a single afternoon. 1t is
a pleasure to know that the work was
done successfully and that this old
form Of communal living survives

MUST CONTINUE TO SAVE FOOD

To the people of Colorado. Robert ].
Grant. executive manager of the State
Food Administration, Monday issued
this message:
'Mr Hoover has set aside this en-
tire week for the consideration of AM
erica's food program. l believe that
this is a good day for Colorado to con-
slider particularly her share in the full
filment of that program.
"of the total exports which the ma.
tion pledged to make before July /. 1919,
Colorado's proportion is 100000 tons.
Colorado must save and export &C.,
900 tons of meats and fats. 100000 tons
of bread stuffs. 1880 tons of sugar and
$1,000 tons of feed grains.
1.-The saving of this large tonnage of
feed grains by the farmers of the state
is very important. The life of the
dairy herds and therefore the milk sup
ply of the little children of Europe
rests upon this saving.
1.-The most important saving which
must be effected by the people of the
state in general is that of meats and
fats. In the next seven months every
person In Colorado-not every family.
but every PERSON-must save fifty
two pounds of meats ana fats-that
means 260 pounds must be saved on
