here who knew of his enrolling in
the service are glad to see that the

A certain party made the remark
one day last week that he wasn't
worrying over the sugar scarcity as
he had sixty pounds in the house.
Probably this would solve the coal
question. and many other things that
are scarce. If there could be an
inventory made, which may come to
pass, we would have things revealed
to US which would clear up why
there was scarcity in certain lines
which is necessary to the public.
Whoever has more than he needs
ought to be patriotic enough to put
it in the market and relieve the pres
sure which now exists in every com
munity in this country. God is not
pleased with boarding, as he strictly
forbid the Children of Isreal not to
gather any more mama than was
needed. Contributed.

PAPER FIBER UNIFORMS.

The clothing of some German
prisoners taken by the British was
of such peculiar appearance that
the Englishmen decided to analyze
it. The uniforms the officers wore,
says Popular Science Monthly, were
found to have been made of cloth
woven from leather fiber, while the
enlisted men wore uniforms made
from paper fiber. The fabrics re-
semble the regulation army cloth
used for uniforms.
