THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN
 CAMPAIGN,

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Well, the campaign for the Fourth Liberty Loan has opened! Are we all ready to do our share toward making it an overwhelming success? l trust so.
 Last spring my dining room rug was hopeless-worn out; but instead of buying new one. we decided to wax the floor all over and use just a few small rugs. We put the price of the rug into the Liberty Bond Fund, and the bare floor still looks good to me; so good. that we are going to try to manage another Liberty Bond this time.
 It seems to me that doing without works out about the same as having everything" only it is the other way around. If we do without one thing we can manage without another, and if we have a certain thing we must have another to go with it. Isn't that true. Sisters?
 Now, put the question up to your selvesi What personal sacrifice can make, so that I may buy another bond" Perhaps you have already done all you feel able to do, but, just think! We are only asked to lend our money while our brave boys are giving that than which there is noth- ing on earth more precious-their lives! Let us each do our part, so when the glorious day does come that our victorious boys come marching home, the empty sleeves shall not be a reproach to us; and no soldier shall shame us when he asks;
 What was your individual part in winning this war;"
 Would you like to answer. Moth ing!" To those one occasionally meets who prefer to keep their money in the savings bank CT in real estate, mort gages, etc, would say, are you aware that every bank keeps a list of those who buy Liberty Bonds? Possibly after the war, the government might order that list published. I imagine if your name was not on the list. loya American citizens would H2t borrow another cent from you if money could | be obtained elsewhere.
 Let us each do our best to put the Fourth Liberty loan lover the top" | Success to America, the best coun- try in the world! Do your part. and do it we'll

 On my arrival at the station l look ed about for the yellow bows, and had no difficulty in following the trail to the house, which was very prettly trimmed with The Corner color5, and from the midst of which foated the Stars and Stripes.
 Inside the house l found a very jolly crowd, every one seeming to be doing their best to have every one else have good time; and Deliah Deal always on the lookout to be of service to someone.
 During the afternoon we took turns at occupying a chair which is 2O9 years old It is a very unique affair. con sisting of d high backed chair and desk combined, and I feel that Deliah Deal must be very comfortable while sitting in it and writing her letters to The Bulletin.
 Another novelty for our entertain ment was visit to the police station, 10 which we were escorted by the hus- band of our hostess, and while there some of the party experienced the pleasure CD of being locked up. At o'clock a delicious lunch was served consisting of salads, cold meat. sandwiches, relishes, cake and coffee, after which I felt very much like the little girl who while visiting her auntie and having eaten a very hearty meal was asked if there was anything more she would like, replied: "No-o!

HE DOESN'T KNOW BEANS.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: I used to think I knew beans but I didn't Betsy Bobbett awole me to realiz- ing sense that what I didn't know about beans. would fill big book.
 She sent me samples of the beans which pleased her and they all diff fered from the beans which pleased me, and there was not a disappoint- ment among them.
 And I added to them the Scarlet runner, a rather coarse bean, but a good one. but because of her kind of fers we have not only had green beans straight and green beans mix ed, but we have beans canned and beans salted and beans dried.
 used to think I knew the best beans but all of them were so good that feel all beans must be best; hence, cannot tell whether l know more ol less about beans than I did
 I have Betsy Bobbett to thank fol many a fine bean feast and for lots of fun in growing them.

Tha EMaster Painter.

Days are getting shorter. and the summers slipping by, Soon will come October when the blossoms fade and die; Soon the Master Painter will get busy with his brush, And tint the orchard apples with their most becoming blush. Then the frost will find the meadow and the green will disappear, And the bitter winds will whisper that old Winters very near. Oh, the Gays are coming closer, when we'll reap as we have sown: When our worth shall be recorded by the fruit that we have grown: Soon the Master Painter shall inspect
 what we have made. And brush our deeds Of valor with the
 hues that never fade. In the glory of life's autumn we shall
 see our work revealed, And know how we have ,abore

GREETINGS FROM DIANA.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: I am writing a few lines this beautiful au- tumn morning to greet you. It hardly seems possible that fall is here, be- cause time has flown swiftly, but the cool air, at times chilly, and the changing of the hue of the. green leaves, some of which are fading and dying, others varying and blazing with color, indicate that ere long the trees will be arrayed in gorgeous beauty.
 The green fruit has also changed to handsome shiny red, peeps out be- tween the green leaves and looks very tempting, and if we have none our selves, We begin to plan to stretch the cents, dimes and dollars so that we can purchase some of this delicious fruit to enjoy during the coming cold weather
 These indications prove to us that fall has surely arrived and ere we are aware Thanksgiving will be- here and then comes winter.
 Am glad so many of you have en- joyed the social outings and picnics. Soon the different clubs will begin to meet at the different meeting places I hope that most of you have enjoyed the beautiful summer time, and tc those to whom sorrow, grief and trou-
 
 and sympathy.
 Let us pray for strength to keel our faith firm as we with tearfu hearts endeavor to be cheerful on the surface as we bid adieu to our dea1 boys as they enter the training camps and as the days, weeks and months pass by let us try not to let that faitt waver, even if our hopes for the future are crushed. Many lives will have tc be sacrificed, but in the end we believe l that right will prevail
 I extend a hand of welcome to the new members of The Corner family l but let all you older Sisters rally anc write oftener for The Corner than you have been doing of late. Don't be afraid of sending too many recipes; we need them all every one and every ] letter you will write is needed, for ir l one way or another they will help some i one of us.
 With best wishes, from yours, | DIANA.
