a grand air such she had assumed

Say not the word fear to me, fair Prin-

as grandy Il need no defender and for
sooth, should this rascal Viga seek to do US
harm. I will myself attack and overcomc\

This doughty answer made Peggy feel very
proud She had two fine knights ready 40

The van was now in rapid motion. Through
the windows Peggy could that they were
heading for the open country. In the dis
tance We're meadows and forests and rolling
hills. The landscape was softened by the
purpish autumn haze, which grew darker
as the weary sun sank into a gorgeous bank
of clouds on the western horizon. Peggy
thought she had never seen anything SO
beautiful. 1t was like poetry and music and
painting all spread out over the earth
feeling of exhilaration possessed her. She
wanted to run out into the meadows and
dance; she wanted to frolic through the
woods she wanted to fly up into the clouds
and dress herself in their colors suddenly
the van seemed close and cramped She
must be free; she must drink deep OF the
fresh air: she must play with the wild winds
in the open.

Niga had locked 1t securely, so she shook
it in vain. Billy Belgium ran to aid her
and together they pushed and pounded. but

Peggy felt little shock of fear, but
strange TO say, it passed in a moment and
the strange gayety again filled her heart
She began to sing and Billy Belgium sang
with her What they sang she did not
know, just words-wid free, careless words
So passed their strange journey through
the twilight and into the dark After a time
the van halted and there was a confusion
of sounds outside.
Viga opened the door and they found the
gypsies had pitched camp. In the center
was large fire around which the children
were dancing. At the edge of the canp
were smaller fires where families were cook : (,

what the gypsies were doing until the gruGt

Then Peggy saw that the tents had been

MADE A HIT
Liedman & Polite Shows Cleanest
Attraction of its Kind Ever Here.

The Ziedman & Polite attractions
which were in Alma last week made a
good hit with the public without a
question, and proved beyond a doubt
to be the cleanest attractions of the
kind which ever visited in Alma.
The favor which these shows met
with here, was the more remarkable
in that carnivals and the smaller tent
shows had fallen into deep repute
with Alma people, because of happen
ings of past years. The Ziedman &
Polite attractions lived down the poor
reputation of their fore runners and
established a reputation for them
selves here, and when conditions re-
turn to normal Alma people will prob
ably be glad to have an opportunity
to welcome them back. and greet
them as old friends.
The coming of the attractions n
Alma proved a good thing for the
Moose lodge. which gathered in a
tidy sum of money from the benefit.

GOING OVER
Lou dip, former Alma girl. Will Go
'Over There" to Entertain Boys

Miss Lou Florence dip. one Of
Saginaw's most prominent young
musicians, will go to France about
July LIST to participate in the enter
tainment of the soldiers in camps
there. Miss dip, who has been study
ing in New York the past winter, has
spent three months in playing for
the boys in the training camps near
New York and has won great success
there.
She goes to France under the au-
spices of the Y. M. C. A. which has
in charge of the entertainment of the
boys and will be there for at least six
months. Her activities will be chief
ly among the boys on furlough from
the front and spending their time in
the small towns a short distance
back of the firing line.
Miss dip is one of Saginaw's best
known pianists. She was for many
years a pupil of j. G. Cummings

admirers here. She has recently been
studying with Rudolph Gnaz in New
forg and last winter she appeared

for the trip.
A great deal of Miss dips time

experience in that field particularly
fitted her for the overseas entertain

MEAT RULE
New Rule Adopted by Food Admin
istration Regarding Use of Beef.

The new rule regarding the use Of
beef in hotels and restaurants, and
other eating places, which has been
officially given out, calls for very
slight use of beef during the summer,
and violators of the new rule are
threatened with being closed for
violation of the rule. The new order
from Geo. A. Prescott, federal food
administrator is as follows:
THE changing situation in ship
ping, and the increasing demands for
our growing army, and with the
fiuctuation in the supply of local
beef in France, all make it impossi-
bic to determine policies for long
periods in advance.
"The demands for beef for our
army and the allied armies are rapid
ly decreasing the present surplus; on
the other hand we have enough in
creased supply of pork this summer
to permit economy expansion in its
use. Therefore, to render direct
service TO our army and the allied
armies, we must substitute beans,
fresh pork, bacon, hams and sau-
sages for beef products.
You are not to serve beef more
than twice weekly, beefsteak at not
more than one meal weekly and roast
beef at not more than one meal
weekly.
an view of the necessity for this
ruling, violation of its provisions will
be sufficient cause for closing your
place of business"
A week ago householders were
asked by the food administration to
hold to such rules until the middle of
September in view of the needs of
the army and the shortage of beef.
