Get Ce@.pIete Family Record.

Sugar records now being kept il
grocery stores are causing some per
turbatiOn On the part OF grocery men
Since the food administration lin
tied the amount OF sugar a family
can use per month, the grocers have
had to keep track of the amount sold
to each customer.
For this purpose they use sort OF
book, or ledger, in which the Gus
toner's name and address, and other
information pertaining thereto, are
recorded.
Since most Of the purchasers are
women, it can be imagined that the
grocers' task, sometimes, is not so
easy, but the women, realizing that
the information must be given, have
gracefully accorded it.
Nor is that all.
Grocers do tell that they get more
information than they have any need
for. Here's how it is:
"They insist on telling me all about
little Johnny, and what little Susie
is doing today, and-why, say, since
we started this here sugar record. we
know the complete family history of
all our customers"
Now what do you know about that
Washington Star.

The Right Light.

Not every act of every person or

faction over the work or fight"

IN the right light, we must concede
that some such action is necessary
Il we are going to be producers in
the correct sense. IF we have grown
a crop, and then do not take the
proper steps to make sure of harvest
ing it, we are not producers at all:
but failures. Some there will be, no
doubt, who will lose by having to
change their occupation, but it will
not be for long, and will not be
total loss. Why not make the best
Of it? Assist the planter to save his
crop without more grumbling, and
after the crop is saved, you can 90
back to your old work and the little
you may have lost will or can be
called your contribution to the war
winning program. Of one thing you
can be certain, no one is trying to
lake away your living or work any
Unnecessary hardship on you. What
ever action has been taken either by

GIRLS TO MATCH
OUR ARMIES

The government has handed out
another big job to the Y. w c. A.
About twenty big munition plants
in the Eastern States will be in full
blast by August / and each one will
employ from one to three thousa ID
women. Some Of them are already
under operation, and in them are
living and working all kinds Of wo-
men, young and middle aged, women
with training and women with none,
high school girls, college girls, and
teachers, girls who have shifted from
other lines of industry because they
think that they can serve the gov
eminent more directly, and women
of wealth who see here their best
chance to work for their country.
These industrial reservations"
they might as properly be called can
to1ments, are often built at some
distance from town, and in them
blocks of works and dormitories built
about big campus-is growing up a
new kind of community. 1t is a fair
field. There are no telephones, ex-
cept between shops and Offices, no
no books, no newspapers.
Nothing is going on but working and
eating and sleeping. Outside of
r,o,-I- +bara oro 10 racpopcib;litios
not even a few lessons to prepare
now and then, as in college. The
women themselves must determine
what kind of community life they are
going to have.
1t is just here that the Y. W. C.
A. can help. There is always a house
on the "Hostess House plan" The
government has seen the type and
liked it-and here the social life as
suggested and guided by Y. w. C. A.
secretaries is centered. A big jolly
room with a fireplace, comfortable
chairs and a victrola, affords rest
and cheerful recreation for the girls
and their visitors. A cafeteria run
by the government usually occupies
one end of the building, and the
quarters of the secretaries another.
In order that the girls may enter
freely into the plans, the organiza-
ton thus directed will not be reg
llarly organized ''YW. c. A." but
| War Service Center" mote the
erm).
All the work is planned entirely
n accordance with the wishes of the
iris themselves. That they have a
feeling and want to
strengthen it, is indicated by the first |
equation drawn up by the girls in
ne of the centers at their first self !:
overnment meeting. They resolved !
rmly that for the good of all, and |
20 the dormitories might be kept !

Gen. Foch Knows Great Debt

for Heroic Aid.

One cannot help thinking now that if
General Foch had been operating on the
inner side of the salient, German tactics
would not have availed against him he
would have disrupted the enemy front
and poured hls forces through. 1t was a
supreme test of his generalshlp when he
turned impending disaster into signal
success that expanded with every day of
fighting He has taught the enemy that
when they have to deal with him salient

General Foch more than anyone else
knows how great this debt to the Aneri-
cans is for their obstinate stand at
Chateau-T hicrry and for the vlgor and
herceness of their counterattacks. 'Thou

assault in force at the western side Of the

MAYOR BOWEN HAS
A PERSONAL THlISE
Astonished City Hall Folk
When He Turned Up
Today.

Mayor Bowen put one over on the
city hall officials this morning when
he appeared at his desk minus the
moustachc which had adorned his up
per lip for many years. The mayor
stated that he had long wished to nd
himself OF what he termed nuts
ance but that members OF his family
had streuuousIy objected However
he had always declared then when an
suspicious occasion arose he was go
ing to take things into his own hands
and shave his upper lip The mayor
deemed the signing Of the armistice an
suspicious occasion and accordingly
yesterday when he paid his customary
visit to his barber he appeared few
minutes later minus his brush
Mayor Bowen stated that Mr.. Bowen
had never seen him clean shaven and
did not approve in any way OF the
change in his appearance The con-
census OF opinion however is that the
removal Of the moustache has taken
ten years from the appearance Of Mr..
Bowen an dhe now has it on the other
city hall officials In that he is the most
youthful looking member Of the board.
Visitors to the mayors sanctum this
morning had to look twice before they
could assure themselves that some
one had not usurped the mayors place.
