CHAPTER XII.


Something Carolyn May Wishes to
Know.
Carolyn Mays heart was filled with
trouble.
This was the result of her first talk
With the old sailor. Not from him, nor
from anybody else, did Carolyn May
get any direct information that the
sailor had been aboard the Dunraven
on her fatal voyage. But his story
awoke in the child's breast doubts and
lcYgings, uncertainties and desires that
nad lain dormant for many weeks.
Uncle Joe and Aunty Rose loved her
and were kind to her. But that feel
ing of emptiness" that had at first so
troubled Carolyn May was returning.
She began to droop. Keen-eyed
Aunty Rose discovered this physical
change very quickly.
She's just like a droopy chicken"
declared the good woman. land, good
ness knows l have seen enough of
them"
So as a stimulant and a preventive
of "droopness," Aunty Rose prescribed
boneset tea, "plenty of it."
Three times a day Carolyn May was
dosed with boneset tea. How long the
child's stomach would have endured
under this treatment will never be
known. Carolyn May got no better,
that was sure; but one day something
happened
Winter had moved on in its usual
frosty and snowy way. Carolyn May
had kept up all her interests-after q
fashion.
Benjamin Hardy had gone to Adams
camp to work. 1t seemed he could use
q peevy, or canthoOk, pretty well hav-
ing done something besides sailing In
his day. Tim, the hackman, worked at
logging in the winter months. too. He
usually went past the Stagg place with
a team four times each day.
There was something Carolyn May
wished to ask Benjamin Hardy, but
she did not want anybody else to know
what it was-nOt even Uncle Joe or
Aunty Rose. Once in the fall and be-
fore the snow came she had ridden as
far as Adams camp with Mr.. ParlOw.
He had gone there for some hickory
wood.
But, now, to ride on the empty sled
going in and on top of the load of logs
coming out of the forest. Carolyn May
felt sure, would be much more exciting.
She mentioned her desire to Uncle Joe
on Friday evening.
We'll now. if it's pleasant, l don't
see anything to forbid, Do you, Aunty
Rose" Mr. Stagg returned.
Il presume Tim will take the best Of
care OF her." the woman said. Maybe.
(eeJting out more in the air will make
Her look less peaked, Joseph Stagg'
The excitement of preparing to go
to the camp the next morning brought
she roses into Carolyn Mays cheeks
ana made her eyes sparkle. When
4An, the haclman, went into town
With his first load he was forewarned
oy Aunty Rose that he would have
company going back.

0eed to see his little friend again.

REGARDING The new
MILL FEEDS PLEDGE

A simple pledge of honor is more
binding to an American than signed
and witnessed treaty is to a German.
That is why Herbert Hoover. fore
seeing a disastrous shortage Of wheat
mill feeds and consequent loss Of dairy
herds. simply turned to the farmers OF
America and asked them to pledge
themselves on their honor to use
wheat feeds for no other purpose than
the feeding OF dairy cattle, poultry and
young pigs and calves, and to keep no
more than sixty-day supply Of wheat
mill feeds on hand.
He KNEW that the farmers pledge
handed to the miller from whom he
bought his feed was as good as LIB
FRTY bond. would be enforced by his
COINCIDENCE without policing or inspec-
ton, and would be kept cheerfully be-
ause of the farmers owr farsighted
;ood sense.

SERVICES APPRECIATED

Denver. Colo. Oct IS, 1918.
Mr.. l.. l. Giffin,
Ordway, Colo.
My Dear Sir:
From time to time Mr.. Swain has
called my attention to the excellent
work you did thru your paper in be-
half of the Fourth Liberty Loan. 1t
was impossible for me to write you
personally during the campaign be-
cause of the lack of time, but now
that Colorado is assuredly over the
top and the few counties that are yet
behind indicate that they are going
over the top, l want to take this oc-
casion to express my appreciation of
the work you did.
The Fourth Liberty Loan was rails
ed in Colorado easier than any pre-
ceeding Liberty Loan. This indicates
that the spirit and state pride of the
Colorado people is just right Such
spirit has only been created thru
the active and continuous support of
the press of the state.
l congratulate you on being con-
nected with an organization that can
do so much for the Republic in times
like these.
Very sincerely yours,
S. ID. NICHOLSON,
State Chairman. .

- y, as great importance as conserva-
ton Of food. Therefore, the order has
gone out that the use of china, linen
and silver should be curtailed.
Serve food wherever possible In
the plate or dish from which 1t Is to
be eaten. Plate service should be es-
tablished wherever possible; that il.
the meat and vegetables comprising
the main part OF the meal should be
placed on one plate instead Of served
in several side dishes. Service plates
should be eliminated. Place only the
amount of silverware on the table that
is actually to be used for the meal,
read the new orders.
The old general bill of fare with its
great variety of dishes is also to be
abolished. since this bill of fare calls
for the carrying in the ice boxes Of
large quantities OF food liable to spoil
age. Three simple bills of fare for
each day. each with 4 limited num-
ber of dishes. changed from day to
day to give variety, are recommended
In It's stead.
Table d'hote meals are also sternly
frowned on since they encourage
waste. Serve only what the guest is
going to eat" is the new slogan.
In addition. hotel and restaurant
men are ordered to display no food in
such manner as shall cause its de-
terioration so that 1t cannot be used
for human consumption, to feed all
waste to animals instead of burning
1t, and to trim and save all coarse fats
from meat before cooking, that these
fats may be used by munitions and
soap manufacturers.

served or shall serve any bread and
butter at all except upon request Of
the guest; nor shall serve bread or
toast as q garniture or under meat;
nor serve any bakery product which
does not contain at least 20 per cent
of wheat flour substitutes; nor serve
more than 2 ounces of this bread or
more than 4 ounces of other less
wheat breads at any meal Excep-
tions to this latter rule are sandwiches
or bread served at boarding camps
and rye bread containing so per cent
or more of pure rye flour.
MEAT: Patrons are limited to one
kind of meat. They are to be served
one chop only to an order, II they de-
sire, and prices reduced accordingly.
Reduced portions of ham and bacon
are to go into effect and no bacon
may be served as q garniture.
BUTTER: One-half ounce of butter
is the maximum portion to one per-
son. One-half ounce is also the maxi
mum portion of American cheese to
be served at one meal Cheese is not
to be served with salads and the max
ing of cheese dishes Is discouraged.
SUGAR: No candy is to be served
after any meal. No more cane or beet
sugar icings are to be used on cakes.
The order No sugar bowls on the
table" is reiterated. Guests must still
ask for sugar and only one teaspoon
full a meal is to be served to any one
person.
CREAM: What is known as "dou-
BILE cream" or cream de luxe" can no
longer be served, or any cream con-
tanning over 20 per cent of butter fat.
CEREALS: The serving of cereals
is discouraged as they are greatly
needed by both the Armies and the
Allies and are ideal foods to store and
transport"
Rigid economy in the use of ice and
of coffee is also urged upon hotel
men.

WHY YOU SHOULD

The man who does not take a
county paper is the loser. He not
only misses the general run of news
which keeps him posted on his county
but he frequently loses in a direct
manner.
For instance: Say you lost some
article of a dollar or so value. The
finder advertises it and IL you do
not take the paper you would natur-
ally not see the advertisement. As
result you would be the loser to
the extent of a good portion of a
years subscription price. This hap
pens frequently.

ference. Some commodities might
