Remember This?

There were once five-and-twenty tin
soldiers, all brothers, for they were all the off
spring of the same old tin SPOON Each man
shouldered his gun, kept his eyes well to the
front, and wore the smartest red-and-blue uni
form imaginable.
"The first thing they heard in their new
world, was little boy clapping his hands and
crying Soldiers, Soldiersv"
FROM "THE STEADFAST TIN SOLDIER" BY HANS
CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN.
If you don't remember the story, you re-
member the little boy, for it was either you or
your brother.
One of Mark Twain's dry sayings was:
There are no agnOstics among college stu
dents. Lack of positive knowledge comes later"
Similarly, it may be said that
There Are No Pdcifsts
Among Small Boys
Each and every one of them loves new tin
soldier as Sis loves new doll, or Nurse new
policeman and twenty-five soldiers are twenty
five times better.
There must be fully $4,000 tin soldiers en-
camped in the Toy Store at Wanamaker's-
infantry and cavalry, fully uniformed and
equpped--awaiting transference to the scene
of warfare. We don't think we ever saw finer
or better disciplined lot

today notified grocers and dealers IN food
not to sell sugar to housewives for pre-
serving unless the preserving was to be

Administration that some housewives
have been going To their grocer and OBJ
tanning 10 and ID pounds OF sugar Tor
preserving purposes now.
At the present time there is little pre-
serving TO be done, but some housewives
fearful that there might be n shortage OF
sugar later on, when the fruit is ready, are
buying for that time.
Only sell enough sugar now for
present needs announces the Admins
traitor "'Therc will be enough sugar for
all preserving purposes and when the
season arrives will be time enough to sell
sugar for that purpose
This is the last day on which dealers IN

ments today run the risk of having their
