BUBBLE Is BURSTED
Slight Oversight in New German
- Plan Costs Fortunes

Another get-rich-quick bubble burst
ed yesterday afternoon in the head
quarters OF the National War Saw
ings Stamps Committee. 1t may have
been German propaganda. this bubble.
or a slight obscurity in w. S. S. pro-
paganda, but in either case the guile
full but too credulous were Initiating
artful financial ideas 10 make
thousands overnight. and now the
scheme has collapsed
II one will look at his W. S. s.
folder. he will find the penny a month
increasing cost Of the w. S. S. re-
deemable January !, 1929. at 500,
brings the price OF the w. S. S TO
only A1 the first of December. 1872.
Now what is more provident and
shrewd than TO wait till December
q. say. invest a few hundred OF dol
lars in the w. 5. S. at san and re-
deem them at the rate OF $500 the
next day?
1t was a grand idea Even the
clown prince could see that. and his
papa's agents here undoubtedly have
helped along the idea OF buying W
S. S. 10 the hilt-December 81, 1872.
The only flaw in the scheme. however.
is that the table Of a penny-more-a
month is the table Of the price OF
redemption of the stamps that par
ucular month, and the present issue
of w. s. S. will be exhausted at the
end Of this year. After that Congress
will have TO authorize another issue,
with a new penny-a-month table and
a new deal all around-and there
quick boys.
So-buy those w. s. S. NOW.

LESS ESSENTIAL MEN
CONSIDERED PRECIOUS
Employers Refuse to Relinquish
Possession Of Employes.

POSSESSION OF Employees.
Less-essential business. the term
that has replaced "nonessential." is
not cooperating with the Community
Labor Board as much as was hoped.
Returns OF the qUestiOnnaires sent
to the nOnwar employers show an in
clination of every man to hold on to
all the employees he possibly can. A
number Of employers apparently with
out realization OF the seriousness Of
the situation have written that they
cannot possibly make any releases.
Washington employers will greatly
assist their country il they will adapt
the duties Of their workers so that
nine, or even eight employees can
carry on the work which is taking
ten at present" said Z. NJ. Kline,
Chairmen OF the board
The release OF even a single man
for war production will be Of mate
rial benefit at this time. and it is felt
by the local community board that IN
many instances a readjustment OF
duties will be Of material benefit at

GOOD TEAMS ARE VALUABLE

Plan to Raise Colts.

Good teams mean more to the up
to-date farmer than is generally be-
lieved. Without good teams it is a
very difficult matter to do good farm
ing. But at present prices farmers
may hesitate to buy heavy draft horses
and mules, notwithstanding the fact
that they are after all economical.
1t would be a good plan to get some
heavy mares and raise colts for sale
or to take the place of lighter animals
and old teams on the farm.

ORIGIN OF THE HOE CAKE

ORIGIN OF THE HOE CAKE
Ing Started This DeIicacy on
Its Way to Popularity.

Did you ever hear of hoe cake? II
you have ever been in the southern
part of the United States of America
you have surely heard of it, and per-
hapS you have eaten it, too, for this
dish originated in that part of the
world.
Long ago, in the days before the
Civil war, when great plantations
fiourished in the South and many ne
groeS were owned by the planters, the
slaves were usually sent out to work
all day in the fields and given Il lunch
to take along with them for their mid
day meal. Wishing something hot to
eat, they acquired the habit of mix
ing a batter, generally of cornmeal
and water, with little salt stirred
in, and baking it upon their hoes on
the hot Goals of a fire which they
built. It was the same thing which
the women in their homes cooked on
the hearth before the cabin fire, only,
in the houses, they usually added
about a teaspoonful of butter, lard
or bacon drippings. They used just
enough water to moisten the meal, so
that they could spread it out upon
their tins or boards.
Later on, SO a Southern woman
says, the white people, the plantation
owners, made similar dish, with
variations, and liked it very we'll
They added or, rather, substituted
milk for water, and added baking pow
der and more shortening, mixed the
dough thoroughly, rolled it out, cut it
into diamond-shaped pieces and baked
it in the Oven.-Christian Science
