ELLABELLE MAE DOOLITTLE.
BY BIDE DUDLEY.

III HE subject of Habits" came up
i at the meeting of the Woman's Bet
torment league of Delhi Wednesday
afternoon and for a while threatened
to inject animus into the affair. Mrs.
Elisha @. Pertle, promptress of the
league, suggested that the ladies take
two minutes for silence and thought,
each to select in her mind what she
considered her strongest habit. and
then tell the assemblage about it if
she saw fit.
When the two minutes had flown
Promptress Pertle said she would
testify" first,
II have bad habit of yelling at my
little son and | ought to quit it, she
said.
"You sure ought" said Mrs. Boggs.
You ought to quit yelling and soak
him with a bedslat."
We'll, l declare" said the Promp-
tress, amazed. :And you with all
those little Boggs idiots running
around loose'
Right on the nose" sang out Mrs.
O'Brien. Pop her again"
Undoubtedly some of the ladies
would have become embroiled in a
wordy alteration had not an inter-
ruption taken place just then. As
Mrs. Boggs was preparing to say a
few words to Mrs. O'Brien a slender,
graceful figure appeared on the ros-
trum. 1t stepped to the fore and held
up one hand. 1t was none other than
Ellabelle Mae Doolittle, the noted
poetress of Delhi.
Ladies' she began in a sweet
voice, trained for conversational pur-
poses, "let me tell you of my strong
est habit"
Quiet settled over the assemblage

AMERICAS GREAT OPPORTUNITY

John GateWOrthy m HlfpeT 5.
America, after the war, IS going to
be more emphatically than ever in
material things the most important
and powerful nation Of the earth, and
all especially we British, have legit-
innate and breathless interest in the
use she will make of her power, the
turn she will give to her civilization,
the lead she will set. All these de-
pend, not upon her material wealth,
not on her armed power, not even
primarily on her world policy: they
depend really on what the attitude
toward life and the ideals of her cit
liens are going to be.

N Well beat the substantial doors, tread =
Those dusty highroads of the aimess dead,

Stoop under faint gleams thread the shadows, find
Some whispering, ghost-forgotten nook, and there

And feel, who have laid cropping hands away;
And see, no longer blinded by our eyes.

FOOD AND FUEL ADMINISTRA-
TORS MAKE NEW RULING

a special dispatch from Nashville
to the Memphis Commercial Appeal
Hi&ier date Of January IS, says;
''The food and fuel administrators
at Washington have agreed that all
wholesale and retail stores dealing
in food should close at noon Mon
day from January e to March Is,
from patriotic motives.
"In accordance with this agree
ment, State Fuel Administrator Myer
has notified all county administra-
tors of the following change in the
original ruling:
No store or office will be allowed
to remain open and burn wood or
other fuel after II o'clock on Mon
day during the closing down period.
Amy store or office, whether it
sells food or not, burning only wood
and no coal, and using no light other
than electric lights produced by wa
ter power, may remain open and
transact its usual business until noon,
but no longer, on Mondays.
Drug stores may remain open
all day, provided they sell only drugs
and surgical supplies.
"'Places of amusement burning
only wood and no coal, aud using
only electric light and powe produc-
ed by water power may remain open
on Tuesdays.
Manufacturing plants burning
only wood and no coal, either directly
or indirectly, may operate all day
on Mondays, provided they use no
light or power other than that pro-
duced by water power or wood
ut will be understood from this
ruling that only manufacturing plants
and amusement places using wood are
allowed to remain open on Mondays.
Other classes of business can remain
open only until noon, provided that
they use wood and no light other
than that made from water power.
Soft drink stands can remain open
longer for the purpose of selling
food.
"The announcement that the output
of the state mines had been put into
the hands of the state fuel admin
istrator has created somewhat of a
CONSERVATION at those points in other
states that have been obtaining their
coal supplies from Tennessee mines.
Fuel Administrator Myer set them
at rest Friday, however, when he
filed the following telegram to the
fuel administrator of. Georgia: M
"'The output Of the BrushysMines
at Petros was turned over to me BY
the State of Tennessee to enable me
to bring about fair Dissatisfaction
among old customers in Georgia, Car
olinas and elsewhere, as we'll as in
Tennessee, and relieve cases where
slightest delay might result in dis
aster. Rest assured that | will con-
tinue to view the coal situation from
a nationwide Standpoint, and not
from a state-line point of view. Your
people are citizens of my country,
as well as those of Tennessee, and
they shall have a square deal.'"
