Dear Miss Dormon:
want to tell you hog | enjoyed my
club work this year, i being my first
year. l enjoyed i5.so well that have
already prepared nay second year plot.
put four ore horse wagon loads Of
barlyard manure and three wagon
loads Of leaves on the plot. Plowed
once with one horse, then planted
wheat for cover crop, and replowed
with two horses.
Last year, in spite Of dry weather, l
canned two hundred and twenty cans
Of tomatoes from my plot, and one
hundred and seventy-ajght from moth
er's plot. We have canned corn, beans,
okra. peas, beef, pork, sweet potatoes
aid fruits Of all kinds on our steam
Gamer. / don't see now girl can
live on a farm near q steam Gamer
without belonging 70 canning club.
Ii all the girls belonged to the club,
and did their best, less iood would have
to be shipped into oAe parish.
| haven't sold all nay tomatoes yet,
but this year am gong to buy my
own clothes and not as6 papa to. If a
girl thinks she ear raise a tomato on
account of school, it IS sad mistake.
/ go five miles TO school, and can keep
mine going.
| had rather be II town and be a
club member than live in the city and
do nothing.
Yours for better work next year,

Dear Miss Virginia:

l most highly appreciate the steam

will be great help 10 me in the work
l have planned for the future, as |
hope to put about 400 cans on the
market the coming year, if everything
doesn't burn up as il aid this year.
think the club work is the finest
thing in the world for boys and girls,
and l would rather give up going to
school than give up being a Canning
CLUB girl, for canning is the most in
teresting thing l have ever done.
feel as if you have been the great
est help to all the boys and girls, and l
know you will DO the same for US
another year. / appreciate your help

"N0 SHADOW ON HER FACE"
Writer Tells of English Woman Who
Has Given All She Had to
the Country.

We English do not read our casu-
atty lists any more. Many of us dare
NOT. When we meet, we do not even
speak Of those who have gone away.
A very touching thing was told me by
one Of my neighbors. He was the last
OF twenty-four officers in one of the
Gordon regiments. He said that the
places were just filed up as soon as
they were emptied, and they never
spoke of those who had fallen. That
brings the reality of the thing to you.
In my own little country-Scotland
you will find many, many villages
from which the Highland regiments
have been recruited. There are no
boys left to come back. They are all
dead.
Not many weeks before I came to
this country was up in the Gordon
country, and on a Sunday night I was
speaking in church on the spiritual
side of the war. At the close wom-
an came to me, little, simple, coun-
try woman, dressed in the uniform OF
the Gordon Highlanders, holding a
yellow missive, which I, alas, knew too
well. "The war Office department re-
grets to inform -. that "
was killed in action" She laid this
little missive beside one of the por-
traits, and said, "That came yesterday.
That's Jimmie, He's the last of the
three" 81 hear you are going to Amer
lea. WIN you tell American mothers
l have given all my lads? / had only
three and l would give six, If I had
them, for the same cause" Another
friend of mine has given all her five
sons. She Is a widow and she has
none left; but she is working in one
of the canteens with no shadow on her
face.-Mrs. A. Burnett-Smith In the

That was answered when the boys

 Every householder, every public util- ity and e~ery industrial user oI coal engaged in work essential to the prose- cution of the war are earnestly ad- vised and urged to place without de- lay their orders for coal to cover their needs for the 12 montbs beginning April 1
 Duriyg the past 12 mon .hs there has been suffering among consumers and a eurtallment of essential production by industries through inability lo obtain necessary fuel after the beginning of winter. A year ago consumers were led to believe that they might safely withhold their orders until later In the yssr They labored under the impress s4on that coal could be bought and se- Cured as we'll at one time as another. They were told that there was plenty of coal for everybody and that there would be plenty of coal cars to move the coal in also.
 This advice and its acceptance by eonsun.ars was one of the contributing causes to the coal shortage, with it's consequent suffering among domestic consumers and lessening in production of commodities needed tn our war ac- tlvities.
 The Fuel Admnistrati | was not then in existence and did not begin it's work until August 23 IL was then all ready too late to undo the harm which had been done. The Fuel Administra- tion would be negligent of its duty to the public IT it failed to call attention at this time to the unfortunate results t ife mls,akeu course pursued by the public year ago and to warn all con sumers in the most emphatic manner possible that a repetition of those re- suits can be avoided only by accepting and ting immediately upon the Fuel Administration advice, here gwen:
