bringing his plan to conclusion, but
he could not think of a message that
sounded any better than simply the
doctors name.
sally ended her dilemma about writ

telephone and telling him in the
sweetest tone that she had bee made

had he guessed, she asked him, that II
was Ter birthday? And not to dfsap-
point her, the doctor had said that
somehow he had remembered it. Then
Sally took Ping refreshing breath OF
the roses fragrance and asked the
doctor whether he wouldn't come
down to her house that evening. She
liked neighborly calls. she told him,
and she was really quite lonely. The
doctor sait h. was lonely. too. tho he

ina very few minutes he Joined Sally
Perkins in the cool retreat OF her
shaded sui.-parlor where tho fragrance

the honey-uckle that twined just out

rather overwhelming size of the bou-
duet he had sent nor explained the
reason why he had first thought OF
buying the flowers.
Being neighborly was after all q
very nice game, thought DR.. Weston,
and this Sally Perkins. whom he had
spoken to every day for the past ten
years, was after all delightful person
to be near. He wondered why he had
never thought of 1t before.
There was really no surprise for any
one on the course events took, for be-
fore the evening was over and DR..
Weston had gone home after that first
call the good next-door neighbors had
started their neighborhood bandying Of
the news. 1t was all settled before
either DIR. Weston or Sally Perkins
had dared to think that their marriage
might result.
But it did, before many months had
passed, and then the honest doctor had
to tell Sally how it was that he had
bought the flowers.
II knew" said Sally. "I was visiting
the hospital and the children's home
that very day, and I saw your flow
ers and I knew just why you had
sent them-to help the florist out. II
was so like you. But I tried to make
myself think, the way the neighbors
did, that you did it because you had
been especially attracted to me. And
it wasn't my birthday, either" Sally
admitted.
And these confessions having beer
made, Sally felt that there was ne
longer any secret between them.

Owing to the war the river steam
boat is coming back into its own
Mississippi river boats hauled more
live stock to-the stock yards at St
Louis during the first half of this year
than they did in corresponding pc
riod last year, thus relieving-material-
ly rail transportation, according to a
report of the bureau of markets G:
the United States department of agri-
culture. More than one-third of the
receipts of cattle and hogs at the
yards in the last four months came
by the river route and now practically
all the Mississippi river boats using
st. Louis as a terminal carry some live
stock. While boat rates are a trifle
higher than rail rates the stock
reaches the market in better condition
and shows less shrinkage.

CUT SUGAR RAT!0NS
Per Capita Allowance Is Pounds
Instead of Pounds in U. S. Now.

Washington, July 26.-The Ameri-
can ration of three pounds of sugar
per capita per month has been cut to
two pounds by the food administra-
ton. The order takes effect August
1 and is expected to remain in force
until January /. 1t may be possible
at that time to loosen the restrictions
somewhat.
A similar order to public eating
houses limits their sugar supply to
two pounds for every ninety meals.
At the present time, no further re-
duction will be placed on the soft
drink manufacturers who are already
operating on fifty per cent basis. The
food administration expects that the
domestic reduction to two pounds will
save enough sugar to meet the necess-
tiles of our allies.
The ration remains a voluntary one
and there is no intent to make it
compulsory, but the supplies of sugar
on hand are to be- allocated to the
various.states on the two pound basis
and failure of voluntary rationing in
any state will create a deficit in that
state which will not be met by the
national administration by further all
locations

tho before the war she used more
sugar than the United States France
allows its people a maximum of q
pound and a half. while the italian
ration is pound These are compul-
sorry rations.

Probably it has been noted already
by the public that the sinking of big
transport ships by German subma-
rines always takes place when these
vessels are on the return voyage to
America and not when they are go
ing over loaded with troops. The ex-
PLANTATION of this seems to lie in the
fact that on the outward voyage they
travel in groups, protected by conveys,
while they return singly and unguard-
ed We still seem to be short on
guard ships.

WASTING PAPER.

The government, thru one of its
accredited agencies, the federal trade
commission, recently urged the pub
fishers of this country, as a patriotic
duty. to eliminate waste and curtail
consumption of print paper. This
product at the time was being con-
sumedr faster than it was being pro-
duced. and the commission depr> Gated
an alleged increase in the average
size of daily and Sunday newspaI ers.
The commissions advice was good.
where needed, says Leslie's, out it
ould have been better had it been
broader in its application. There are
cynical souls who hold that the gov
eminent itself needs just such IN adj
monition. There is overwhelming evil
del ce that official Washington is mC st
profuse and extravagant in its use 6,
paper. A Washington correspondent
says: There are very few govern
ment bureaus which do not send each
week to newspaper and magazine Of
fees ten times more publicity nater-f
ial than there is any hope of getting
into print. The copy submitted %
Washington newspaper offices cs-ch
day fills several waste-paper baskets"
1t is thus evident that Uncle Sans
own household is needlessly using
great quantities CT paper. True. much
of this is letter paper, but it is made
of wood pulp, as is print paper, and
excessive consumption of it helps to
cause a scarcity of the latter But
vast numbers of printed documents
are prepared for the departments
which are not urgent and which could
well be omitted in this time of stress.
But the commission should also
realize how on special occasions the
government and hers are gully of a
which the worst that may be said Of
the periodicals is as a grain of sand.
A most glazing instance was in the
latest liberty bond campaign. Altho
| tt oLsands of newspapers and maya
| zines we're devoting sufficient space
to free or periodically paid for adver-
Using of the loan to make it a sue
cess, even If no other fundamentally
| had been employed. government en-
| ployes and civilian committees of all
descriptions. some of them extremely
super-serviceable, were avalanching
the public with So much printed mat
ter as to threaten exhaustion of the
paper supply.
A good second to the unnecessary
OUTLAWS in the liberty loan campaigns
have been those in the food cam
paigns. In the United States senate
lately. Mr.. Reed of Missouri animal
verified on bill of expenses for the
food administration which included
$4,000 for ranking copies Of Mr.
Hoover's speeches, a needless bit of
expenditure when all the newspapers
we're only too glad to print them; and
also such items as $4,000 for Hoover
buttons and $4,000 for medallions.
Why should the government resort to
these irregular methods of adve it's
ing? What has it to show for this
waste of paper and other materials ?
Why does it not follow the example

No matter how much money she may
have If there is no coal the Parisienne
cannot buy it; so they say that Paris
has turned to furs for warmth. There
Is every chance of comfort out of doors
muffled up in furs to the ears, as
against next to none in a fireless in
doors. Even bed and lounge coverings
ind lounge pillows are reported to be
made of felts. Everywhere the cheap
er felts prove more than satisfactory
substitute for wool, which is scarce.
In the face of all these considera-
lions furriers have distinguished them
selves by providing handsome gar
ments from the inexpensive skins.
Coats with wide collars, deep cuffs and
borders that extend up to the knees
or higher, make silk garment warm
and save wool in mid-winter coats.
No one inquiries too closely into the
origin of furs that look well and cost
little; they are just as fashionable
as sables or ermine.

Turning to Furs for Warmth.

The coat shown in the picture is as
good a model for general wear and
smart style as one could wish. Its
deep collar may be turned so that it
will engulf the face almost to the eyes
and still protect the shoulders and
chest. The very deep cuffs suggest
warmth and provide it. The front laps
across from right to left and is held
in place by very wide belt in addi-
ton to other fastenings. Fullness is
furnished the skirt by p1aits at each
side-a feature that is especially want
ed in coat that Is to serve the pur-
poses of both street and motor wear.
Among the late arrivals in winter
coats there are some very handsome
satin models with very wide patterns
In needlework or embroidery about the
bottom. Sometimes this extends
across the front and is supplemented
by wide band of fur across the back.
This is something quite new and it is
attractive.

Since hand knitting has really become
fashionable pastime. many women
are knitting sweaters and sweater
coats for themselves, as well as for the
soldiers. New styles for spring are
already presented, and they include
coat and slip-over models, coats with
wide sailor collars and knit-length
skirts plated at the sides and back,
are fastened along the front with very
large buttons. They have knitted
sashes ending in wool fringe, that loop
over the front and hang to the bottom
of the garment.
The hand-knit sweater Is an expen-
sive affair as compared to machine
knit garments. The cost of labor
makes it so. This is where the oppor-
| tunity lies for women who can knit
and make their own sweaters.
Knitted silk sweater-coats for spring
have already been launched. One OF
the new models looks like Norfolk
jacket. 1t fastens at the front with
buttons and has belt that dips Mt tn,

The manufacturers of knitted gar
ments, specializing in the particular
line of work, bring out new styles In
sweaters sweater coats, bathing suits,
and all other garments shaped to the
figures in the machines that make
them, with the return of each spring
and fall season. Sweaters and sweat
err coats probably furnish the bulk
of their business. No member of the
up-to-date family undertakes to face
the winter, or the summer either. with
out a sweater. Even the baby tod
dies out clad in knitted garments from
head to foot.
1T usually falls to the lot of moth
ers to select and buy all these gar
ments, hence she Is interested In the
styles for boys and young men, as well

Held Over Communications

Owing to a large amount of extra
work last week, setting and arrang-
ing a list of delinquent tax payers
and being rushed for time, we were
forced to omit several very interest
ing news-letters from the county. 1t
was not from any desire on our part
to neglect or purposely set aside
these newsy briefs, but simply case
of lack of time. The Herald con-
graduates itself upon having such a
splendid corps of correspondents
and we believe that few papers are
better supplied with wide-awake and
alert news writer's. We trust our
correspondents will accept this apol-
ogy for the omission of last weeks
letters.
