Get Complete Family Record.

Sugar records now being kept In
grocery stores are causing some per-
turbation on the part of grocery men.
Since the food administration linn
tied the amount Of sugar a family
can use per month. the .grocers have
had to keep track Of the amount sold
to each customer.
For this purpose they use a sort Of
book, or ledger, in which the Gus
toner's name and address, and other
Information pertaining thereto, are
recorded.
Since most of the purchasers are
women. It can be imagined that the
grocers' task. sometimes, is not so
easy, but the women. realizing that
the information must be given, have
gracefully accorded 1t.
Nor Is that all.
Grocers do tell that they get more
Information than they have anv need

They insist on telling me all about
little Johnny, and what little Susie
Is doing today. and-why. say, since

has, indeed. brought us face to face
with problem in tram >ortation that
Is vital and critical. There is not a
business community from one end Of
the country to the other that is not
dealing with the question. A con-
gestion has arisen that has affected
almost every factory in the United
states and even extended to our homes.
The New York Barge canal offers a
solution to many of our transportation
problems. This waterway-andi 1t may
be called the most important canal in
the United States-has been thrown
open at time when its usefulness can
be fully appreciated, and when It can
fulfill a mission not dreamed Of by
Its original projectors. 1t can easily
carry a total Of ten million tons of
freight and this is as much as can be
carried on One-f1fth Of all the freight
cars on all the rail lines In the United
States. 1t is equivalent to what could
be carried on string Of freight cars
which. II placed end to end, would ex-
tend from Denver to New York city.

Town Did Extra 'Bit."
How Marching Boys IN Olive Drab
Got Delicaey Almost Under the
Eyes Of the Discipline
Loving Sergeant

II is midnight. In the border town
across the river the pOpulace has gone
to bed. TIE streets are deserted and
silent save for the measured tread of
the occasional policeman on his noe
turnal rounds. But the lights are still
glowing in the railway station on the
water front, their brightness intensi-
fed by the envelOping gloom.
A train of Pullmans rumbles in from
the ferry dock with q great jangling
Of bells and creaking Of wheels as the
brakes take hold. In the stiffness of
the night the racket is magnified a
thousandfold, but the town slumbers
On.
Above the incessant clang of the To-
connective bell and the hiss of escaping
steam there comes to the ears Of the
wayfarer from the States q sound that
instantly claims his attention-the
rhythmic tramp, tramp, of feet, hun
1reds, thousands Of them it seems, as
the faint staccato becomes q mufiled
roar. There is no resisting its lure.
The wayfarer turns in his tracks and
waits.
"Left-turn !" rings ont the crisp
command close at hand and. with
wheel-like precision, column Of
marching men in the familiar olive
drab rolls into view around the corner.
"Yanks, sure as I'm alive!" exclaims
the man from the States as he falls
INTO step and follows along the side
walk.
Yes, Yanks-Uncle Sans own
doughbOys ON their way TO Berlin via
the western front, and out to timber
up and get breath of fresh air while
new engine is being hooked up.
On they come. alert. keen-eyed fell
lows fresh from the training camps,
splendid Americans all, and eager for q
brush with the Hun.
Still the town slumbers-it is accus-
toned to such sights; but to the Amer
lean, taken unawares. 1t Is an inspiring
thing.
Far up the street, an oasis in the
black desert Of night, friendly light
beacOns. As the column approaches
the boys recognize the familiar out
lines of fruit stand. The enterprising
merchant knows all about these mid
night 'parades" and Is prepared. A
thousand pairs Of eyes turn hungrily
to punches of yellow bananas dangling
from their hooks, but the trim young
sergeant is looking straight ahead.
They are all business. those sergeants.
The man from the States has seen
1t all /; It Is his chance. A crisp Ameri-
can bank note quickly changes hands
and presently there Is an empty hook
where bunch of bananas hung a mo-
ment before. Magicaliy. 1t seems, the
coveted fruit has found its way into
the rear ranks. Like cork In a rough
sea the bulky thing b tossed along
from line to line, growing constantly
smaller until the bare stalk is thrown
INTO the gutter, leaving hundred
oulging pockets In its wake.
Thus did one patriotic fund sub
scriber do an extra "bit' for the boys
Of the olive drab. At any rate, he
wore the patriotic fund emblem on his
.oat.
