FOODS ARE CHARACTERS
IN FARMERS FAIR SHOW

The play is further developed around
a dream which Every Bite has, due to
his fondness for pie. Fat and Sugar,
Beef and Pork and Veal are in the
great pie
The first dream brings crowd of
Tapping Food Posters on the stage
in a nightmare dance. The second
shows Liberty Bonds holding Baby
Bond by the hand.
Soldiers on the battle front are in
the next dream and they look vainly
in their empty knapsacks for food.
The fourth is a crowd Of Belgian
children holding out empty bowls and
the fifth shows the gloating kaiser and
the crown prince.
Then Every Bite awakes and cries
out in terror:
What have l been doing? Wasting
food when my country is at war!
Starving our men and helpless little
children in Europei Helping the

Clean Plate brings about a recon-

ny Comes Marching Home"
"And he'll save, save, save,
Till the boys come marching home"
Columbia appears in the last scene
and compliments Patriotism on the
winning of Every Bite.
Awake, America, and save!" she
cries. "Tis Freedom calls. Shall it
one day be said that we who stay be-
hind were ready with the gift of these
our sons, yet grudged to them the
food with which to win? That we at
home in safety wasted food while
these our sons fought on?"
Club to Have a Booth.
This pageant has been produced al
ready by several schools in Kansas
City. 1t was written by Miss Mary
Ruth Weeks and Miss Bertha Goes
as propaganda for the food conserva-
ton campaign.
The Home Economics Club will also
have patriotic food show in the ma
chinery building at the Farmers Fair.
Demonstrations will be given. They
are planning now for their "eats" booth
and for their part of the parade. A
silk umbrella has been offered by one
of the merchants of the town to the
home economics girl who will turn in
the best suggestion for a float for the
parade.

One of the new features of Farmers
Fair this year will be food lessons il
lustrated in a play which the Home
Economics Club will give. 1t is a con-
servation pageant which forcefully
emphasizes the necessity for saving
food.
I'VE are not giving this pageant for
the fun of it," said Miss Rowena
Schmidt, president of the club, I'VE
are giving it for the real good it will
do"
1t is a modern morality play in
which foods are characters. Every
Bite is featured. while PATTY"
for Miss Patriotism-is the heroine of
the play. Extravaganza and Garbage
Pail are the companions of Every Bite.
The kaiser and the crown prince will
have their say. Liberty Bond will talk
and the children of Belgium will be
seen starving while Every Bite feeds
careless Americans to repletion.
Miss Extravaganza a Vamp.
Miss Extravaganza is the vampire OF
the play, and her brother, Garbage
Pail, the villain. Then comes Clean
Plate, who vanquishes Garbage Pail.
Economy gives the prologue and the
curtain rises upon Patty and her un-
worthy swain. Every Bite. Greed is
written on his face, his teeth are prom
inent and he carries a large box Of
candy under his arm.
Tell me-" he pleads. how can i
prove my love?"
II don't ask great deeds of you Ev-
cry Bite, but there is one thing you
can do for me-"
at shall be done. What is it?"
at is this-Save wheat and meat
and sugar. for you know the promises
| have made.
But Every Bite thinks this is triv-
ial task. He would perform deeds of
valor to prove his love.
II must have these things" he says.
Don't try my love with such foolish
task, set me another
Relations become strained between
Miss Patriotism and Every Bite and
Miss Extravaganza comes in on
vamping tour. 1t is not difficult for
her to steal Patty's beau nor to induce
him to stuff himself with all the for
hidden food. He scorns food substi-
tutes and snubs Clean Plate. He treats
Garbage Pail to choice bits.
Kaiser Gives Reward.
OF course Miss Extravaganza turns
out to be a German spy who is re-
warded by the kaiser.

Schlundt, that the amount of radium
for these compounds be reduced as
much as possible or that some other
radioactive substance be substituted
so that radium can be used in the
medical profession"
The commercial value of radium de-
pends on its brightness. Manufac-
turers vie with each ether to produce
the brightest compound with the least
amount of radium.
DIR. Schlundt says that it will be
year before other materials will be
competing with radium In producing
luminous compounds.

MISSOURI BOY TALKS TO KING
George v, Meeting Aviator on Palace
Grounds, Shakes Hands


Grounds, Shakes Hands
By Associated Press.
ST. CHARLES, Mo-, April 13.-With
war laurels yet to be won and without
having been in any notable action on
any front, H. F. Schibi of this city,
now with the Twentieth United States
Areo Squadron in England, is one
Missouri boy who has shaken hands
and chatted with King George of Eng
land and other members of the Brit
ish royal family.
In letter received here by his par
ents, he says that several days ago,
accompanied by companion, he was
inspecting the grounds of one of the
royal palaces at the invitation of an
English sergeant on duty there. While
looking about they suddenly came
face to face with King George, Queen
Mary, Princess Mary and Prince AL
bert.
Schibi says the king, accepting their
salute, inquired of their guide if they
were Americans and when he found
they were insisted upon meeting them.
I'VE almost fell over" Schibi writes,
but we went over, saluted again and
shook hands. The king asked us what
part of the States we were from; if
we belonged to. the regular army or
the militia; what branch Of the serv-
ice we were in and where stationed.
He told us he was glad to meet us,
since we were fighting for the same
cause. We certainly felt honored by
his attention, as few soldiers, unless
decorated for conspicuous bravery,
ever have that opportunity"
