MARY-UP TO DATE

Mary sold her little lamb
To the butcher shop,
And with the money she received,
She got one tiny chop.
To her home this Mary went,
In tears that fell like rain,
And with the story, that she told
She gave her ma a pain.
"Listen, child and stop your fuss;
Your wailing aches my soul;
Since you've been gone, I've sold the
house,
And bought a ton Of coal.

MESSAGES TO THOSE

New York, Sept. lS.-"Jenny
Jones OF Ardmore. | want to make
YOU acquainted with Alice Brown
OF Sheffield, Eng; here is a letter
from her thanking you for saving
food so that she need not go hun
cry. Invite you to write to her
This, in effect, though perhaps
not by the use oi those words, Is
the plan adopted by United States
Food Administrator Herbert {.
Hoover to convey the thanks OF
English school children to the chill
dren OF America for helping him to
conserve food for the benefit OF
English girls and boys.
Mr.. Hoover has brought back
from London many thousands OF
letters from the British boys and
girls and his plan is to send at least
one letter to every public school
in the United States.
The letters were delivered to Mr..
Hoover during his recent visit to
London. Two motor cars were re-
quired to carry them. Some OF them
were written by individuals while
others were signed by the children
Of whole school; so that the total
represented the thanks Of hundreds
OF thousands OF British children.
The editor OF the Teachers World
presented to Mr.. Hoover a deputa-
ton OF English school children and
told the American Food Admins
traitor that the letters were heart

itself to provide England with food,

these letters among our American
schools" replied Mr.. Hoover. 81
am sure that they will form one of
the most effective links possible be-
tween the people of the two nations.
Each one OF them will be priezd and
| will see to ii that not one OF the
the thousands OF schools scattered
throughout our country is lett with
ont at least one OF them. They form
a heap OF real treasure, and should
have a very far-reaching result.
II feel that too much is made OF
my own part in the American en-
deavor by addressing all these let
ters to me personally, for really the
thanks should go TO the American
people. There is, however, some
thing very beautiful and inspiring in
the thought underlying them and for
the American people | thank each
one OF my correspondents heartily.
For some time the school teach
ers in our country have been organ
led on this work OF food saving and
cxcellently they have carried ont
their important share OF the task.
They have taught our children to
leave no effort unturned to save
food with the result that the whole
nation, young and old alike, are con-
centrating upon this endeayor.
Specially have the children OF people
OF moderate means put forward ev-
cry eXertion to this end and almost
to family each of these children
is practising the utmost self-denial
In this great pile of letters | think
we have excellent material for a
second stimulation next year.

could turn out better pictures. But

from the owners, they proceeded to
rob those who had employed them.
Following Judge Covingtons ad-
dress, Miss Margaret Skinner rem
dered delightful solo, which so
pleased the audience that she found
it necessary to respond with another
selection.
After the music, Mr. Woolford re-
ported that he had understood that
there were few people who thought
that the allotment plan of raising the
Liberty Loan was wrong, and that
some of them had questioned the
right of the committee to make such
allotments. He then stated for the
benefit of the public that all mem
Ders of Committees were representa-
tives of the Government. that the
chairman was appointed directly by
a representative of the Government,
and as such represented it. The al
.otment plan is the only fair plan,
and, as a general rule, the fellow
who is opposed to it is against it be
cause he does not want to do his
part; he wants to subscribe less than
ne should, and he squeals because he
is afraid that he is going to be made

When one hears a fellow sQuealing

ten, it is Il wealthy man, who is try
ing to eyade taking his share of the

The Sugar Hogs

There are three children in the
Jones family. When their mother
brought home half a dozen oranges
for them the other day, it was fairly
plain even to 6-year-old Susie that
each one of them could have two
oranges, and that if she got three or
anges either brother Tom or sister
Jane would have to get along with
only one.
But at the same time Mrs. Jones
was congratulating herself on a
scheme whereby she expected to get
hold of more than the ten pounds of
sugar allotted to the family for the
month on the two pound basis. What
Mrs. Jones failed to see was that the
sugar of the country is on the same
footing as the oranges she brought
home for the children, and that if
her family had more than its allotted
ten pounds some other family would
be short
She would have scolded Susie for
sel6shness if daughter had tried to
grab three oranges. She didn't ap-
preciate that she helself was doing
with the sugar exactly the sort o.
thing she wouldn't allow Susie to do
with the oranges.

"The Knife"
At The Grand Opera House Tonight.

One of the sensations of the past
season was the presentation on the
stage of this dramatic story by Eu-
gene Walter, the eminent playwrig ht,
and the screen version, with Alice
Brady in the leading role, is even
more sensational. In brief, the story
deals with the life of a young South
ern girl who falls into the hands of
a gang of white slavers, and the
unique but adequate revenge of her
surgeon lover The production is an
elaborate one, and the scenes taken
in the South are most picturesque,
showing as they do the surroundings
of the old Southern aristocracy in
which the girl was born and raised.
The scenes laid in the Northern city
to which the girl comes are hardly
less interesting.-Adv.
