FREAK APPLE FOUND

Sarah S. Newcomer, Smithburg, Md,
has grown an apple that is an un-
usual freak. The, apple is of the York
Imperial variety, and one-quarter of
the apple is a dark red with lines as
distinct as if drawn, while the other
three-fourths of the surface is col
orded a bright yellow. All the red
of the apple seems to have centered
in the one-quarter and to have
drawn all the color from the other
three-fourths of the apple. 1t was

WAR BREAD Makes

from the turmoil through which he

and he believes he will eventually find
these two blessings. He doesn't know
exactly how, but he's hopeful.
The Russian public is struggling
along with great patience, making the
most of it's very limited food supply,
making over its much-wOrn clothing,
polishing it's shabby shoes and getting
all the amusement it can out of life
by attending the theaters and visiting
the summer gardens.

person-if he gets it, And the quality
Of the bread varies SO greatly that

committees will supply the following

Straws enter largely into the COM
position of the bread supplied to Mos
cow, petrograd and other cities far
from the grain producing centers.
Sometimes the straw is chopped so
finely it cannot be detected. On other
days ii is so coarse and abundant in
the loaf that straws an inch long may
be found
A recent cartoon in the Moscow

wearing straw hats were playing at his
feet, and a loaf of bread from which
long straws were protruding lay on
the table. A neighbOr who stood be-
side the weaver inquired
How do you find the bread these
days?"
