disguised under all manner of names.

Meat is rationed by n card system.
So is sugar. of which you may have
six ounces a week and no more. One
of the best hotels in London is serv-

days at time.
Desserts are a thing of the past,
recorded in history but not among
the things extant. Milk is rationed.
Tea soon will be. Bread is rationed.
Hotels will serve you with one brown
roll per meal. The average man would
be amazed at the British menu today,
but the British do not grumble. They
go on short rations knowing that 1t
must be done, and accept it as part
of the war that must be carried vic
torywards.
Even If it were possible to break
the food restrictions the average Brit
Usher has not the slightest desire to
get more to eat than his neighbors.
Especially among the British workers
is there an obvious grim satisfaction
when members of the American labor

Honey in Place Of Sugar.

The simplest way Of using honey is
to serve 1t like jam or slrup with
bread. breakfast cereals, boiled rice.
pancakes, and other mild favored
foods. AS ordinarily used on bread,
an ounce of honey spreads" as many
slices as an ounce OF jam. When it
is to be used in the place Of sirup
some people dilute 1t by mixing 1t
with hot water, which has the effect
OF making it not only less sweet but
also easier to pour.
Honey or mixture OF honey and
sugar sirup can be satisfactorily used
for sweetening lemonade and other
fruit drinks. Sirup Of any kind Is
more convenient for this purpose than
undissolved sugar. and when charged
water is to be added 1t has further
advantage, since 1t has less tendency
to expel the gas.
The fact that honey consists prin-
cipally Of sugar and water and 10
slightly acid suggests that 1t Is suit

COMMUNITY FAIR
FOSTERS RIVALRY
Farmers and Families Cooper
ate With Neighbors in Ex-
hibiting Best Products.
PEOPLE BROUGHT TOGETHER
First Step 10 to Interest Leaders, Then
Elect Officers and Appoint Com
mittses - Ribbons Usually
Awarded a. Premiums.

John Jones' basket of potatoes takes
diately every farmer In the commun-
ity secretly plans to take that prize
away from Jones next year. And
Jones, seeing Jim Browns winning
corn. resolves that next time he will
add that premium to his other trO-
phies.
And so on down the line of all ex-
hibits, the community fair fosters the
spirit Of friendly rivalry. 1t calls not
only for the exhibition Of the best
products that have been grown and
the best work that has been done. but
1t Includes as well games. athletic
contests. pageants and other features
which bring the men and women and
the boys and girls together for whole
some recreation.
The first step toward holding COM
munity fair is to interest the leaders
of the community; the second is to
call meeting of the whole cOmmun-
ity to elect officers and appoint COM
mittees to have charge of the work.
The fair should be well advertised,
and effort should be made to secure
exhibits from as many persons as pos
slble. rather than to secure exhibits
of exceptional quality. For premiums
ribbons are usually awarded rather
than cash payments. As most Of the
preparations for the fair are made by
volunteer workers, the small amount
Of money required for incidental ex-
penses can be raised by subscription
or by the sale of advertising space in
the catalogue or on the program.
mission charge.
Grouping the Exhibits.
While it Is to be expected that the
exhibits at a community fair will re-
ceive special attention for the purpose
OF exhibition, nevertheless they should
represent as nearly as possible the
normal production of the community,
for one of the purposes of holding n
community fair is to stimulate de-
sire to increase the quantity and to
improve the quality of the average
product. Freak exhibits of all kinds
are to be avoided.
Personal solicitation has been found
to be the most effective means of in
ducing people to make exhibits. Each
exhibitor should realize that he is in
competition only with other members
of the community and that 1t will not
be possible for some stranger to take
all the prizes.
Satisfactory results are usually OBJ
tained In community fairs by group
ing certain classes of exhibits. Thus,
In the live stock department, horses,
cattle. swine. poultry, and pets are
exhibited. In the farm products de-
partment are shown different varieties
of grains and Seeds grasses and for
age crops. field beans and peas, pea
nuts and potatoes, together with dairy
products and bee products. The or
chard and garden department includes
such exhibits as fruits and vegetables,
Ornamental; shrubbery, and flowers.
The woman's work and fine arts de-
partment includes prepared foods,
canned goods. jellies, preserves. and
pickles, and all kinds of needlework.
together with such exhibits as paint

German was talking with a German
prisoner the other day. The prisoner
was a college man and a Heidelberg
graduate. In the course of their con-
versation the prisoner said he saw,
while at home, moving pictures of
New York city virtually destroyed by
bombs and shells from airplanes and
gunboats. lie also said he saw pic
lures of all the Gcrman-owned boats
taken over by the United States at
the beginning OF the war all broken
up and destroyed.
"When we told him that such was
not the case he seemed under the
impression that we were kidding
him. The German prisoners don't
seem to believe there is any appre-

TRANSPORT
AMERICAN SOLDIES

London, Oct. 5.-Of the more than
100000 American. soldiers trans
ported to Europe to the end of Sep
TENDER nearly l 100000 were carried
in British or British-controlled ships.
American vessels carried $4,000 and
the remainder were brought across
the Atlantic on French and Italian
ships.
To insure the safety of this enor-
nous force has entailed a tremen-
dous amount of work for the allied
fleet The British navy has done 20
per cent of the conveying, the Ameri-
can feet q per cent and the French
feet 8 per cent.
The. figures help to emphasize what
is being realized more fully here, and
doubtlessly in Germany also the enor-
nous contribution America is making
to the common cause of the allies.
They also bring out the strength of
the British naval arm and the failure
of the German submarines to prevent
the arrival of an American army.
