The many friends throughout the
state of Mrs. Almyra Longdon Jones
were shocked to hear of her death
which occurred Tuesday February s.,
in this city. While many knew of her
illness, they were not expecting the
end so sudden. Her funeral was held
last Sunday at Allen Chapel of whose
famous choir she was an active mem
Der for several years and until her
death, and a beautiful eulogy was de-
livered by the pastor, DR.. Thomas.
Brief remarks were made by Nelson
c. Crews an intimate friend of the
family in Chillicothe and the burial
ceremonies of the Daughters of the
Tabernacle who turned out in large
numbers were conducted by Past
Chief Grand Mentor Joe E. HEREFORD.
The floral offerings were beautiful
and numerous and the full choir which
was in attendance rendered many of
her ~favorite selections. That she was
held in high esteem in her former
home %Chillicothe, was evidenced by
the fact that quite a number of her
former associates in that City came
to attend the funeral among whom
we're: Mrs. Ruth Bland, Mrs. Edw.
Gilbert, Miss Lizzie Jones, Mrs. Pau
line Anderson. Beside her husband,
her father, one of the pioneer minis
tiers of the A. NJ. E. church now pastor

FOOD PLANS FOR 1918.

The United States Food Administra-
ton plans for 1918: Wheatless days,
Monday and Wednesday; wheatless
meals, n each day. Meatless day,
Tuesday; meatless meals, one each
day. Porkless days, Tuesday and Sat
urday. On porkiess days no pork
products, not even lard, are to be
used.
By carrying out the plans of the
United States Food Administration the
people will use about one-third less
wheat and thus save 100, 900, 200 bush
els; with one-tenth less of beef, we
can ship to Europe 4S,000,000 pounds
per month: one-fifth less of pork will
enable us to ship $4,000, 900 pounds a
month, and the people of the United
States will have enough to keep health
and strength. The United States will
export only the foodstuffs saved from
our normal consumption.
That the world may be free from
German rule the housewife is urged
to make, or buy, Victory bread, which
consists of one-fifth less flour and in
the place of the one-fifth flour use
corn, rye or other wholesome substi-
tutes. Bakeries are now allowed to
make bread of wheat flour alone but
must make and sell the Victory
bread The hotels and restaurants
are to make and serve Victory
bread" The United States Food Ad-
ministration does not intend that you
shall use bread but asks you to use
less wheat in your bread. We must
save a third of our usual wheat con
sumption to send to Europe.
The United States Food Administra-
ton depends upon the good will and
patriotism Of the Americans to make
the slight sacrifice required to seat a
little less Of some things and more of
other foods, so that you will not be
hungry and at the same time will be
able to help to conquer Germany and
so free the German people and make
the world safe for the nations of the
earth to rule themselves.

Story from Lewisburg

Old Mr.. Santa Claus buttoned up
his warm fur coat, put his pipe In
his mouth and lifted up his sack
of toys and started on his long
journey.
At midnight he stopped his rein
deer and climbed out of his sleigh
and started to 60 down a chimney.
He did this to every house he came
to and filled all the stockings OF
the good little boys and girls. He
filled the stockings of the bad boys
and girls with switches. He visited
every house and at last his toys
we're all gone.
He then went home and found
that Mrs. Santa Claus had some
nice hot soup for him. He told
her about the good little boys and
girls. but did not tell her about
the bad ones.-Jo Rice.

DOING OUR BIT
We want to help win the war.

We want to help win the war.
The way we can help win this
war is by saving foods SO we can
feed our Allies.
The products they need are beef,
pork, wheat, sugar and dairy pro-
duets.
We can easily save these foods by
eating more OF different foods
which are more plentiful and that
we can not send away. l am going
to try harder to save foods.
Another way we can help is by
not putting food on our plates that
we do not want.
There Is one more way we can
help and that way is by buying
Liberty Bonds. When we buy Lib
erty Bonds the money is taken to
help win the war-Dorothy Game,

SAVING FOOD

What we are all trying to do is to
save food. There has been pledge
cards sent out to be signed. They
have people to sign these cards SO
they will think more about saving
food. When you sign pledge card
you are given a card to hang In
your window. This card shows that
you are a member of the food ad-
ministration.
At school the teacher pasted a
paper on the wall. On the top line
of the paper it says, ! promise not
to spend over five cents week
for candy until the Christmas holi-
days. l think every girl In our
room signed it. The teacher said
we would all want candy at Christ
mas time. don't know whether we
can have much candy this Christ
mas as they haven't hardly any
sugar in the city now. If they don't
get some the candy stores will
have to close-Ethei Tillman.

1t was during Christmas time
and Mary's aunt, with whom she
lived, was too poor to buy her
anything, and was often very cruel
to her.

was not going to get anything for
Christmas. But that night, after
Mary had gone to bed. a faint
knock was heard at the door. The
aunt opened it and in stepped a tall
stately man. A cheerful Good
evening" was heard. The man
said, Here, is a present for Miss
Mary Bontx."
Christmas morning Mary opened
the package. Inside was a nice
wooden sweater, a pair of mittens
and wooden cap. Mary was the

FOOT STOVES

The Pilgrims church was made
Of logs. with large cracks between
them, which made it very cold.
The services were three or. four
hours long. All the heat they had
in their church was from the small
foot stoves which they carried with
them. They looked like little
boxes. Our teacher brought one
of these stoves. The wooden frame
was nine inches long. eight inches
wide and six and one-half inches
high. Inside of this frame were
sheets of tin which formed the
stove. Each sheet contained a
number Of holes which formed a
circle. One side had door
opened back and showed small
pan which held the Goals. This
little pan Of Goals was the only
heat. A handle was on the top

A NARROW ESCAPE

In the early history of our coun-
try there were Indians everywhere.
At first, these Indians were friend
ly to the white people but after,
wards they became enmies of the
white men. There was an Indian
chief by the name of Big Foot. He
was very big and strong and there
was a white man by the name of
Adam Poe.
One day when Poe was out on
his travels, he heard some men talk
ing. He crawled very quietly to
the edge of cliff, and he saw two
Indians lying about ten feet be-
meath him. One of them was Big
Foot, whom Poe wanted to kill. So
he shot Big Foot's partner and in
a second, he jumped down on the
big Indian.
They had terrible fight. They
fought for several minutes. first
one bad the advantage. then the
other. They fought until they both
fell into q river Adam Poe held
the Indian under the water till the
Indian was deadly Ivan Druley.

Please Save Food

Money, men arr food will win
this war. We have the money from
the Liberty Loans. and we have
the men. Now we must solve the
food problem, which is harder
to do.
The way to do this is to eat less
of certain things, which are beef,
white bread, sugar, pork and dairy
products. These are the foods that
our men and also the allies are
needing. Some of the things that
are not needed are poultry, vege-
tables, cereals, rye bread, fruits.
mutton and fish. We are not the
only people who are saving. The
French and the English are saving,
too. - Curtis Hayward, Baxter
