United States, the local canteen COM
mittee will probably be very busy dur
ing the next few months. Mrs. Charles
Mitchell is in charge OF the canteen
work in Topeka.
Mr.. and Mrs. E. w. Poindexter. OF
Kansas City. Kan, have announced
the engagement of their daughter.
Helen, to Mr.. Fred o. Zimmerman, of
Kansas City. The wedding will take
The Poindexter family formerly
lived in Topeka where they were
prominent socially. Miss Poindexter
was q Student in Bethany college here
for several years.
It almost always surprises our
French friends to learn that New
Mexico and New Jersey are about as
far apar. as Carrie Nation and the
Model License League. Some of them,
educated by the movies, imagine that
cowboys roam thru the canyons ada
cent to Wall street New York, and that
buffaloes wool and snort and pay the
earth on Boston common.
For our own part, most of us are
in turn ha5y as to the location of
French places. 1t comes as a sort of
shock to learn that Nice is not on the
Atlantic coast, or that Lyon is not
one of the base ports the names of
which we can't use in our letters.
And 1t is little short of shattering
when the truth finally comes home to
us that the province of Maine, France.
is as inland as Iowa.
Something tells us that, as a result
of our sojourn here, the little WillieS
of the future will pay even more at
tention to the contents of their joger-
| fries than the little Willies of the past
I paid to the copies of Diamond Dick
and Fra nix Merriwell that they used to
smuggle behind those bulky books.
| Something tells us, too, that the little
PierreS of the future will be able to
| bound Oklahoma and define Kansas
with the best of us.-Stars and Stripes.
Use wisely all thru the winter the
fruits and vegeta bles you canned and
months. If you insist on having fresh
| vegetables that have been brought
from a distance you are defeating
your summers work. Every out-of-
season vegetable you purchase entails
using for yourself shipping space that
would much better be used to trans
port food and other commodities to
an --'"--~-o' F'urnne.
If you have stored the products
fri al. ,.....4.l ,ou have plenty of
food in your ,il cellar to satisfy that
longing for green, fresh things. FOR
a salad that tastes like midsummer
there is nothing better than turn1ps
chopped fine and mixed with a few
nuts and boiled salad dressing. Green
tomato pickles add spring fresh
ness to the meal.
Then there are canned peas, beans,
tomatoes, dried corn, pumpkin and
squash; there are apples carefully
stored or canned, and bottles of fruit
juice ready to be made into jelly
when there is sugar enough. What
more could anyone ask? Surely there
is no need to go to the store for vege-
tables and fruit.
An enormous shipping problem has
been created by the large number of
men we have overseas and by the
pledge we have made to feed the al
lies. The problem has grown enor-
mously with the ceasing of hostilities.
We now have millions more people in
newly liberated nations who look to us
for food

USE TANK IN INDUSTRY
War Implement Turned to Motive
Power on Canal.

Paris, Dec. 1O.-Industrial use al
ready has been made of one of the
notable war implements evolved dur
ing the recent conf&t-the tank. One
of these erstwhile engines of destruc-
ton was used as motive power on the
Marine canal near Epernay under the
direction of the ministry of public
works. The tank hauled convoy of
barges at a speed of nearly two miles
an hour, as compared with the speed
by animal power of less than mile
an hour.
