Commercial Poetry.

For an enclosure in letters
acknowledging orders, the Louis
lana Oyster and Fish Com
pany had The Review print q
short poem of exceedingly appro-
pirate sentiments, on a card.
The card had been in circulation
but very short time when Of
ficers of the local fish company
were much surprised and amused
to receive a reply from one Of
their customers, dealers in San
Augustine, Texas, couched in
the same language and form.
Mr.. Lowrance hasn't decided yet
whether it will be necessary to
compose still another bit of verse
as a "come back" for such a con-
tingency as this. Who knows
perhaps poets will be the sales
promoters of the future! Here
are the two poems:
BACK ORDERS.
Keep Your Temper, Gentle Sir,
Writes The Manufacturer,
Though Your Goods Are Overdue,
For A Day Or Maybe Two.
We Can't Help 1t, Please Don't
Swear,
Labor's Scarce, And Very Rare,
Can't Get Oysters, Fish, Supplies,
These Are Facts. We Tell No Lies.
Harry's Drafted, So Is Bill
All Our Work Is Now Up Hill,
So Your Orders We're Afraid,
May Be Still A Bit Delayed.
Still Well Get EN-, Don't Get
Vexed,
Maybe This Day, Maybe Next,
Keep On Hoping, Don't Say Die,
You Will Get EN-, Bye And Bye.

Il like to wait and let you try 80.
To fill my order bye and bye.
But life is short, and I may die,
Before I ct an Oyster pie.
For the want of Oysters now to eat

I've found a place where Harry and

Are on the Job and working still
So NV order let it die.

The Editor :, S Trials.

It really isn't much Of a job to
run a newspaper these days. Help
is very plentiful-that is editorial
help-not mechanical. For exam
pie, in Wednesdays mail (and that
is only the usual run Of mail) we
received voluminous communica-
tions from the following bureaus
and departments, with the urgent re-
quests that the matter be published
in this weeks issue:
Liberty loan committee, 2.
Red Cross,1.
National council Of defense, !.
Treasury department, l.

tee, 1.
Public information. 8.
War board, ].
Safe farming Newspaper service, l
Railroad administration, /.
Judiciary committe, 2.
Educational bureau, l.
University bulletin. /.
Provost marshal, I.
We wish we had time and inclina-
ton and facilities and forbearance
enough to have published all Of it,
but had we done 50 and printed no
local news or advertising in this is
sue you would have a Record Herald
comprised approximately Of 81 pa
ges. The government is urging pa
per conservation and if we get time
we may organize a night class and
tell them something on the subject,
!as every newspaper office in the
country has to empty it's waste bask-
ct thrice daily of its communica-
tions.
Every day we get more material
for publication than we could even
read from sunrise to sunset. How
ever, we are running a local news
paper and our customers still insist
on an occasional local item.-Arcola

Thrift in using fats means wasting
none. 1t means making the least
amount go the longest way. Above
all it means saving every scrap OF
fat that comes into the kitchen in the
form of trimmings from meat and
suet. Careful housewives have always
saved these fats and prepared them
for cooking. If all housewives would
form this thrifty habit not only would
America have no need to fear fat
shortage, but the allies could be amply
supplied from our stores.
In rendering fats for cooking the
following things are useful to know:
Grind the fat if necessary, and soak
lit several hours in water that has one
teaspoon of salt to every quart. Drain
