All the Testimony Needed.

Up till the outbreak OF the war the
queen of Roumania took q deep per
sonal interest in the school OF dOmeS-
tic economy for Roumania girls, which
she founded with q sum OF money sub
scTibed by Roumanian women as a
wedding present at the time Of her mar
riageA
Once, on one Of her periodical visits,
the queen asked one Of the pupils, a
bright-IOoking little lass. how she was
progressing with her studies.
"Oh, firSt-rate, ma'am," replied the
child, with ready assurance. I'm the
best scholar in the class"
Indeed - said the queen I'm very
glad to hear it. When did your teach
er tell you so? This morningz''
''Oh, no, ma'am," came the unex-
pected answer. Teacher didn't tell
me. 1 just noticed it myself

ALL IN READINESS To MOVE
Teuton Evidently Had Been Looking
Forward to Time When He Would
Be Taken Prisoner.

A young British officer, now home
on leave, tells me that when some OF
his battalion recently took a German
trench which they had deemed TO be
rather lightly held, they found it occu-
pied by just one man. This was a ven
cradle Hun, aged fifty-eight, with a
long white beard. When the BritonS
doomed into his vision, he exclaimed.

are you doing in my trench?"
We've come to take you to Eng
land" blandly replied one of the Tom
mics.
Good" replied the elderly Teuton.
That's exactly what I've been want
ing, and I'm all ready"
1t developed later that he had lived
in England for several years before
the war. My young acquaintance
added the interesting information that,
in many cases, when a trench is taken,
they find its placid occupants literally
'tall packed up''-being conscious that
they have "some place to oIH-Ex-

HONEY'S CHANCE TO HELP
INCREASE SUGAR SUPPLY.

The average annual honey
crop of the United. States is
about 25O,OOO,OOO pounds and is
sufficient to supply each man,
woman and child with about 21z
pounds a year, which is eQuiva-
lent to 3 per cent of the amount
of sugar they consume in nor
NAL time. Thus there is ample
room for expansion of both the
production and consumption.
The present use of honey in the
home usually is as a substitute
for jellies, jams and strip. 1t is
little used in domestic cooking
or baking, but this use should be
increased. While honey within
recent years has sold at prices
sufficiently low to justify its
use as a substitute for sugar, it
is rarely used in commercial
food manufacturing except in
the making of certain cakes
which must be kept moist for a
considerable time. Usually,
however, the supply of honey is
so inadequate that most of the
crop can be used as a spread for
bread. With the use limited as
it is. many people in the United
States rarely eat honey. but it is
evident that there might be de-
veloped a ready sale for honey
as a supplement to sugar, if pro-
duction were increased many
times.

Fruit PickePs Dream Come True.

An ingenious method of gathering
fruit which reduces the fruit picker's
work to a minimum, makes use of a
large net suspended above the ground
directly under a tree and does away
with the usual fruit-picking harness,
buckets, pals and baskets, says the
Popular Science Monthly. The fruit
is dropped from the tree by the picker
and 1t falls into the net and rolls
down through a cone-shaped canvas
spout into barrel or fruit box. The
net Is held taut by a framework sup
ported by. iron posts driven in the
ground.

Look to 1919 Seed Now.

To be prepared for a possible scar
city of seed next year, growers of root
crops of all kinds would do well to
take steps to insure at least a partial
supply by growing seed themselves,
specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture advise. This
can be done only by the use Of roots
already grown and now in the ground
or held in storage. Such crops as car
rots, beets, onions, turnips, rutabagaS,
parsnips and satisfy are involved,
owing to unfayorable weather condi-
tons so far this year in regions where
the chief seed supply of these crops
is produced. This fact, together with
the uncertainty of the usual European
sources, which cannot be relied upon
to supply US, threatens a very consid-
cradle shortage for next years plant
ing, Since it takes two years to pro-
duce these seeds, this shortage can
only be alleyiated by the planting for
seed Of roots already grown. Farmers
Bulletin SS4 gives directions for the
home production of seed of those crops
mentioned and other vegetables.

Reasons Are Numerous.

Let every woman who has a particle
of sympathy in her soul for the for
lorn women and children of Belgium
and France buy a Liberty bond Let
every woman who believes in justice,
and freedom, and right buy a Liberty
bond. Let every woman who hates
war and Graves for peace buy Lib
erty bond.
The trip that you had planned, the
new frock you were going to get, how
pitifully small is the sacrifice of these
for the sake of those who are sacri-
ficing their lives to protect you and
yours.
Buy all the Liberty bonds you can,
and then go in debt for some more, so
shah you prove yourself a worthy
daughter of Uncle Sam.
This is a time when money talks
and tells the kind of patriot you are.
The woman who hasn't a bunch Of
Liberty bonds if she's rich, or who
isn't paying on a Liberty bond if she's
poor, is a traitor to her country and
should hang her head in shame every
time she passes a man in khaki or
feels the fold of the red, white, and
blue floating over her unworthy head.

Such Vastly important Part
LEND Your Money.
by DOROTHY DIX

Buy Liberty bond, ladies' No mat
ter how many you have bought before
stretch point and buy another.
You can't shoulder a gun and go OF
and fight for your country, as the men
are doing. You can't put on nurses
uniform and go and nurse wounded
soldiers or drive an ambulance or work
in munition factory, as many other
women are doing, but you can do your
bit by backing up these other men and
women, who are risking their lives to
defend you with your money.
Without guns and munitions, with
out food and clothes, without hospital
supplies, the army in France is just
SO many sheep led to the slaughter; if
We let them die for the lack of the
things that money buys, their blood
is on our heads, and our crime against
them will be blacker than the BocheS,
because they trusted US.
1t takes money, money, money and
yet more money to carry on war, and
this war is to be the war of the long
est pOcketbOCk. It is the last ton Of
bombs, the last load of shrapnel, and
the last big gun that will thunder out
victory. Therefore, if we want to win
this war, we must find more money,
and it is particularly up to US women,
who can fight with our hands, to
fight with our dollars, and pour them
like water at Uncle Sans feet.
Women's Greatest Sacrifices.
In no war in all history have WON
en- been called upon to play such ire
mendOus part as in this war. Never
before have won II had to give so
many of their husbands and sons and
brothers to be cannon fodder. Never
have women before gone into the
trenches and fought side by side with
men. Never have they gone into fac
tories to make munitions of war with
their own hands. Never have they
had to take upon their shoulders the
heavy burdens of hard physical labor
that men laid down when they went
forth to battle. And never before did
their country call on women to make
such sacrifices as they are called on
to make now.
1t is because this war touches wOm-
en- more nearly in every way than any
other war has ever done, because more
wOmen's hearts have been broken by
it, more women impoverished and
made homeless, more mothers have
seen their babes slain before their eyes.
more mothers have beheld their young
daughters ravished, that women must
use their utmost effort to put an end
to war.
Women must see to it that there is
never another war to lay waste to the
world and drench it with wOmen's
tears, and this can only be accomplish
ed by our winning this war.
And to do that we must have money.
So, let every woman who has some
loved one at the front buy a Liberty
/ bond. Let every woman who has a
hearthstone that she would keep safe
buy a Liberty bond. Let every wom-
an who has q babe that she loves, or
a young daughter whose purity she
would guard. buy a Liberty bond.
Reasons Are Numerous.
Let every woman who has particle

PROGRAM

naughts, six Battle cruisers and 1f0
small craft at an estimated cost of
$500 ,000, 600. Hi9'a

latter is reported as having
said of William /: ''He is quite
distinguished from those born
in so high a position, at least
most of them. You know that
people of his rank, born in the
purple, come to believe them
selves different from their fell
low creatures. They attach
little Importance to the wishes

and in compensation England
was given the German consent
to an English proteeterate
over Zanzibar.
The kaiser has always been
known as man of almost in
