For the Fall Bride.

A gift which will remind the little
bride who undertakes TO furnish a
home i'm wartime that Mr.. Hoover has
his eye on her, is bread bag. 1t Is
made of sturdy cotton; an unbleached
muslin would do well. Into ii the
scraps of bread left from the table are
put and are kept comparatively fresh
for use at the next meal or for bread

for the bag is that war bread seems

In the matter OF wearing mourning
for relatives who have given their lives
for their country there are two opin-
ions. One is that 1t is inadvisable TO
wear black because ii depresses other
Ceople. We must not ask others TO
mourn with us, or even remind them
of mourning. The other is that Il
proper respect for the dead almost
compels period of mourning apparel.
1t is matter which each one must
think out for herself. The Red Cross
has adopted a substitute for the usual
mourning and the last bulletin of the
central division has this to say:
The American Red Cross will pro-
vide the mourning brassards 10 be
worn by relatives of men who have
given their lives To their country, ac-
cording to an announcement made by
the war council. These brassards,
which are TO be used i'm lieu of gen
eral mourning, were suggested and de-
signed by the wOman's committee Of
the council of national defense. the
idea being heartily Endorsed by Presl-
dent Wilson in letter he sent To the
wOman's committee. They will be fur
nished free to the parents or widows Of
men who have died in the service and
at cost 10 other members of the fam
lily.
The brassard, which is to be worn
on the left sleeve, miGway between ell
bow and shoulder, is a band of black
brOadcoth or other material three
inches wide on the surface of which
the regulation military star is EN-
broidered in gold thread. The num-
her of stars on brassard will denote
the extent of the sacrifice made by
each family.
THE brassards will be made and
distributed by the chapters of the Red
Cross working in conjunction with To-
cal units of the wOmans committee of
the council of national defense. An
initial supply of materials for the
manufacture of the mourning emblems
has been purchased by the Red Cross
and will be forwarded to the II divl'
sions of the organization for distribu-
ton through their chapters. 1t is eX'
pected that the first of the brassards
will be ready for distribution about
the middle of September. A brief
statement accompanying the announce
ment says:

The World of Finance
FARMERS BOUGHT.
LIBERTY BONDS
MOST LITERALLY

Next to the aggregate number Of
subscribers perhaps the most strik-
ing feature of the Third Liberty Loan
was the support given it by the farm
ing and rural populations of the
country. Not only did the farmers
purchase literally of the bonds, but
the rural communities as rule were
more prompt in completing their quo
tas of the loan than the larger cit
les. More than 10000 communities
in the United States subscribed or
oversubscribed their quotas, many of
them on the first day of the cam
paign. The majority of these were
not cities but country districts.
Iowa, a typical agricultural State,
was the first to subscribe its quota
and was followed by Oregon, Arkan-
sas, Kentucky, and other States in
which agriculture is the leading in
dustry.
1t is impossible to give accurate
figures but it is estimated that while
only Q per cent. of the farming pop
ulation Of the. United States subscrib-
ed to the first and second loans, prob
ably ten times as many subscribed to
the third. The significance is In
creased by the facts that the heavy
subscription was made at a season
when the farmers are ordinarily on
the borrowing and not on the lend
ing side of the market, and when the
farms Of the country are speeded up
to the limit.
This wide distribution Of the third
loan among the whole people shows
that the body of the Nation has be-
come aroused and gone into action
that the sense of duty and the neces-
sity for individual support of the
country has permcated the whole
people. Secretary McAdoo may just.

GOVERNMENT TO
TAKE CONTROL OF
STEEL FOR WAR

Washington, June 1.-The War In
dustries Board made public yesterday
the text of an agreement entered in
to by it with the American Iron and
Steel Institute, by the terms of which
the Government takes over absolute
control of the distribution of all man
ufactured steel products and pig iron.
The purpose of the agreement, ac-
cordine TO Bernard M. Baruch, chair
man of the Industries Board, is to in
sure that the direct and indirect war
requirements of the United States and
the Allies will be fully met. What
ever surplus production there may be
he said, will then be equitably dis
tributed among the industries not en-
gagged in war work.
There has been much dispute of late
concerning the adequacy of the ma
tons steel supply, and some officials
have indicated that there would not
be enough to fill all war requirements
ind leave any considerable supply for
the less essential industries. In it's
announcement yesterday the War In
dustries Board provides for an investi-
cation of the supply now avilable, and
hints strongly at a big drive to in
crease at once the productive capacity
of all steel mills.
! Under the agreement the War In
dustries Board must pass upon all
applications for the release of steel
products and pig iron, thus giving it
absolute control of the industry. Ii
amounts to a communicating of the
output of all mills by the Govern
ment, and approaches closely Govern
ment operation of the industry.
A preference list is contained in
the announcement and the require
ments of the industries named on ii
must be met before other applications
are satisfied.

STRIPPED LIFE BOAT

London, June THE crew of a
German submarine was brutal in it's
treatment of the crew of the Glasgow
steamer Ellaston, sunk some days ago,
Reuters, Limited, says.
The steamer was shelIed for three
and one-half hours. The British Cap
tain returned the gunfire until his
ammunition was gone and then aban-
doned the vessel, which the subma-
rine crew boarded and sank by
bombs. The Captain was taken pris-
oner on board the U-boat.
The drinking water in one of the
lifeboats was removed, and the Ger
mans also took the mast, sails and all
the oars except two, leaving the Brit
ish to find land as best they were
able.
The other lifeboat, which was not
molested, was picked UP by a schooner
near the Canary Islands. The first
lifeboat suffered great hardships and
did not reach Las Palmas until nine
days after the other boat.
