Luxury Market Hard Hit.

"Don't try to sell luxuries in New
Zealand" This is the advice United
States Consul General Winslow gives
American merchants in a commerce
report.
No. New Zealand is not pinched
for money. Its wallet is well filled.
"There is no particular necessity for
retrenchment," as the consul puts 1t,
but the public is opposed to the pur-
chase Of luxuries. especially luxuries
that have to be imported, thereby u.s.
ing tonnage needed to head off the
U-boats.
Trinidad, too, and the whole of the
British West Indies, is abstaining from
use of imported goods. This has caused
the population to change its whole
menu, for many foodstuffs were for
merly imported. Now the people eat
homegrown plants that only the anil
mails ate before. They like the new
diet so well they say they will never
again import any staple food except
cornmeal.

LOST IN BATTLE.
William Andrews Stumbles Into Com
pany of which His Brother is Cook.

Lost in battle and stumbling into the
company of which his brother was the
cook was the fortune of William Andrews
of Burlington, son of Mrs. William ID.
Andrews of loo Caroline street. Andrews
was reported in last weeks casualty list
as being among the missing and it is
only through the visit of Lieut.. Curtis
Malaney of this city that the truth was
learned
Andrews and another man in the COM
pany were lost in fight at Chateau
Thierry 1t was dark, but after a careful
reconnaissance the men made what they
took to be friendly camp and discovered
it to be what was the old NJ Company
of Vermont infantry One of the first
men to greet Andrews was Lieut. Mala-
ney, at one time a near neighbor 1t
was then that Andrews learned that his
brother was a cook in the company and
| the brothers met after having tried for
months to see each other. Andrews was
reported missing when the company
formed that night, in all likelihood, and
in that way the casualty was reported
to the United States.

STOPPING long enough to care for sore
foot, a man will be left behind so that
it will be days before he finds his old
outfit. In the confusion of the fight
Andrews with the other man wandered
away and it is a pretty dangerous thing
to go hunting for anybody after dark.
This couple reached NJ Company just
after supper so Andrews probably had
some of his brothers cooking.
The fact that Andrews was not lost
was discovered by Napoleon Aubin, a
barber in The Palace, and a brother in
law He heard some one say that Lieut.
Malaney saw a former neighbor of his
when he stumbled into his camp and
then investigated finding that at the
time Andrews was visiting NJ Company
he was being reported in the United
States as missing. He was reported
missing August 6 and that is the day on
which he met the Burlington company.
Mrs. Andrews, mother of the soldier
had been kept in suspense since she re-
ceived word from Washington that her
son was missing, and Aubin lost no time
in notifying her of the Burling-
ton Free Press.

Little Profit in Salt.

A recent investigation by the bu-
reau of mines proves that a salt fam
Inc in the United States is unlikely,
says the Popular Science Monthly. At
the same time it was established that
owing to the low price of salt and the
abundance of its supply there is but
little profit in the salt industry, al
though the American salt works have
supplied in recent years practically
all the salt consumed in the United
States. What a pity-for the prof.
teers-salt is not used in munitions!

ONLY MADE MATTERS WORSE
Small Girls Efforts to "Fudge" on Un-
fortunate Remark Could Not Be
Called Successful.

A number of women were discussing
Liberty bonds one afternoon in u neigh
boris house. Almost unnoticed a little
neighbor girl had entered. at this
point in the discussion she exclaimed.
WELL my aunt says she might just
as well buy a Liberty bond as to be
taxed!"
Her remark caused a good bit of
comment. One guest, who has son in
the service. became very indignant,
and exclaimed:
-'The idea! Buying a bond to es-
cape taxation! That's patriotism for
you! That makes me tired-anybody
as able as she is to buy bonds, or any
thing"
With that last remark the speaker
SLEW" out of the house.
The little girl, beholding the strife
and bad feeling she had stirred up,
tried to "fudge" on her remark, ex-
planning that it wasn't her aunt who
made the. remark, but some other wom-
an. The neighbor women held her to
her first remark, and We're making it
pretty warm" for the little girl, when
she finally burst out with:
'Well, you don't know how much II
costs my aunt to live; and how much
its costs her to take that trip to Nj
agara Falls ~
The laugh with which the womer
greeted this innocent remark was suf
ticient to send the loyal and innocent
girl running from the room. Truly, hel

BOY HAD SPIRIT OF HIS RACE
How the Captains Boy, Mackinnon,
of the Cameronia Helped to
Allay Panic.

In the report of the torpedoing of
the Anchor liner Cameronia with
troops in the Mediterranean last sum-
mer, mention was made of the splen-
did conduct of the captains boy, Mack
innon. This youngster was on the
bridge with the captain when the ship
was struck, and he did much to allay
the excitement by shouting through
the megaphone to the troops, keep
your heads, men. Dinna get excited.
It's a RIGHT. Nae hurry" and so on.
The sight of the small boy with a
megaphone as big as himself advising
the soldiers to keep cool made many
laugh and quoted many nerves. The
boy did many other things, and at the
end the captain found he had dis
obeyed orders and was still on the
bridge when everyone else had left the
ship. When the captain told him to
"clear out" he said, 'Tll no go till you
go, sir" The captain then caught him
by the coat and slung him overheard
into the destroyer before jumping him
self. An eyewitness on the destroyer
described seeing the captain and the
boy on the bridge of the sinking ship.
I hear now that Mackinnon went
down in the Tuscania. Probably he
behaved there as he did on the Cam
eronia, and the death he just missed
in the Mediterranean came to him OF
the Scottish coast. In the list of heroes
