MEET CONSUMERS
Virginia, Maryland and Penn.
syIvanfa Farmers viii Con-
fer Here December 20.
TO WORK WITH cENTERs

Virginia. Maryland .apd Pennsyl-
! lumbia consumers will be asked to
attend a sget-together meeting. to be
held at the District building Decem-
Der 20, to consider plans, for In
creasing food production next year
, and lowering the price Of foodstuffs
to local households. The meeting will.
be he'd under the auspices Of the
, citizens food council.
The executive committee OF the
council. which met last night with
District Food Administrator Wilson,
determined to exercise the functions
of a clearing house in bringing to-
gether local community centers and
rural community centers, now being
organized for a discussion of the
best means of developing the farm
to-table plan through the post office
motor truck service.
Growers Are Organizing.
1t was stated that growers in
Maryland, Virginia and Pennsyl-
vania are rapidly effectinG organiza-
tions through which to dear with
routes. Adams county, in Pennsyl-
vania, has perfected such an organi-
zation. and Prince Georges and st.
Marys counties, in Maryland, are
slated to organize community centers
this week.
The rural centers will be located In
schoolhouses, each in charge of
postal agent to be designated by the
Post Office Department. Here the
farmers of the several communities
will deposit food supplies for direct
shipment to homes in Washington.
The executive committee OF the
food council considers that the grow.
ers and local consumers would best
promote their interests by becoming
acquainted with one another and en-
gaging in discussion of all the prob
lens related to the new method of
food distribution now receiving a
limited try-out. 1t is believed the
meeting will stimulate the producing
of more food in nearby territory next
season and in imm mediately expanding
the motor truck service.
Conservation Is Topic.
The meeting of the council to be
held Friday of this week, at the
District building. will be devoted eA-
clusively to consideration of food
conservation measures. 1t was de-
cided by the executive. committee last
night to prepare home card con-
tanning practical suggestions as to
food saving. The card will be pre-
sented to the council Friday night,
and thousands of copies printed next
week for city-wide distribution.

The citizens buying food movement
in Takoma Park has grown SO popu-
lar and has met with such success
that steps are being taken to organ
ize under the name of the Takoma
Park Buying Club, Inc
In forming this buying organization
the leaders of the movement empha-

number of persons to take part in
the buying. It is not to be 4 close
corporation. Agents of the buying
club will visit every home in the
section and give everybody an op-
porrunity to place an order.
Cash on Delivery.
Goods must be paid for at the time
they are ordered This is necessary,
it is said. because the association,
must pay in advance, and the size of
its orders necessarily requires con-
siderable capital. The citizens in this
section already have bought four
carloads of No. l grade Michigan
potatoes. Two carloads of this order
arrived at the -Takoma Park station
the day before Thanksgiving. and be-
fore dark every potato in the ship
ment had been distributed: 1ncluG-
ing the delivery price. these best
grade potatoes cost the buyers q
trifie less than S1.40 a bushel.
Une feature III connection with this
community shipment was the almost
ir1rnediate reduction in the potato
price in the. various grocery stores il

Evolution of the Lamp.

Or. Waiter Clark OF Philadelphia

ves'igations to find out how the old
.inae lighting conditions In his city
anafe with those Of today, says the
Popu.ar Science Monthly. He has dis
eovered that until as late as 1885, only
.llckering sperm oil and candles were
IN use. Not until the following decade
sd the highly improved" kerosene
lanp appear. Gas did not come out
until the period between 1868 and 1875.
And then only the wealthy could use
it. II sold at $3.50 per thousand cubic
feet The efficient Welsbach mantle
came out ten years later, reyolutioniz-
ing artificial illumination. The pres
ent era began in 1895, when gas and
electricity came into general use-gas
selling at 81 per thousand cubic feet
and electricity at 10 cents per kilo-
watt hour. Since that time the gas
mantle and the electric filament have
seen vast improvements, so that today
the average family is obtaining about
eighteen times as much light as the
people of half a century ago.

ANYBODY CAN MAKE MISTAKES
Everybody Able to Blunder. But Few
Are Willing to Frankly Admit
They Have Made an Error.

Mistakes are things anybody can
make successfully.

land Gillian, In Farm Life, who seemed
to fail at every other kind of manu-
featuring who could make as splendid
specimens Of mistakes as one could

about.

If am not the fellow who invented
them.
Sometimes q fellow takes miss
that nobody else would take. and aft
erward finds out 1t was a mistake.
Anybody under twenty never admits
that he has made q mistake.
And he is usually honest about it.
II anything goes wrong, blame it
onto someone else.
After twenty-five he begins TO think
of few he made when he was eleven.
BY the time he is forty-fiYe he win
forget the mistakes he made in early
youth because, In looking back over
the trail, the little ones of childhood
are completely hid by the whoppers
he has made since he was thirty-five.
I don't know why people have to
make mistakes.
But they are built that way.
I believe never made the same mis-
take twice.
This encourages me.
For as I look back over mistake
dotted career believe I have reached
the point at which / cannot make any
mistakes without repeating.
But that may be mistake.

Temperament Of Canals.

Bearing an innate grudge against all
restraint and oil who restrain him, the
camel viii use the great strength Of
his long legs to kick his keepers or the
dogs which guard him in the waste
places, but in the presence of enc
mics, among wolves or other beasts
Of prey. he Is a coward, forgets the
very use of his legs and proves his
erratic temper by screaming and spit
ting in terror. No camel wants to be
loved, and no one familiar with camels
ever entertains the least affection for
them. They make savages of what
ever people breeds them. The man who
owns and uses camels cannot live in
4 city, he cannot travel the highways
through cultivated country, he cannot
have a permanent abiding place. He
is doomed TO 1--we In deserts and arid
grasslands, to follow the paths that
are lined with evergreen thorns, tama-
risks and bitter weeds, to drink the
saline water that his evil tempered
beasts prefer and to avoid the haunts
Of men and horses as the horsemap

FAv0RITE STOGlE IS DOOMED
Long, Slim Smoke, Popular With Many
Men, Soon viii Be No More, Ac-
cording to Tobacco Dealer.

A Cleveland tobacco dealer is au-
thority for the statement that stogies
soon will be no more. The war has
knocked the stuffing out of them, or
rather, it has taken the stogies' stuff
ing away to fill cigars of more aristo-
cratic shape. Profit is all but gone.
Prices climb, but so also do the Objec-
tons increase against paying the high
er rate. Taken altogether, the chances
for the stogie are as slim as itself,
says the Toledo Blade.
As virtually all Cubans can roll
cigars so was ii once possible for
many Americans besides professional
cigarmakers to manufacture their
own smokes. Hospitable folk Of the
rural districts thought 1t the fine thing
to offer their guests cigars which had
been made in the house. The stogie
was the last of It's kind which could
be said to have an unprofessional ORR
gin, many thousands being rolled by
women at their homes in periods of the
day when household duties were light.
If now the stogie is to disappear,
clgarmalzing in this country will cease
to have even the slightest of the anna
teur touch.
This vanishing is to be regretted,
not simply because the stogie was a
cheap smoke, but also because it was
picturesque. 1t fitted certain type
of American face. 1t went with long
chins, long legs, bodies without super
fluous flesh. The man whose pockets
were stuffed with stogies seemed to
be armed against lonesomeness and
the power OF anyone to turn him
down." Smokers of timid spirit never
affected stogies.

Hooverized Country Breakfast.

Excerpt from the Hooverized food
experience of the man who edits the
Missouri Notes" column in the Kan
sas City Times:
"The friends who entertained us
warned us that they were living very
frugally and proved the assertion mt
every meal For example, for break
fast one morning we had nothing but
cereal and real cream, homemade
sausage, fried potato cakes, stewed
fruit, hot biscuit, two kinds Of pre-
serves and coffee. The menu for the
next morning, as announced the night
before, was nothing but waffies, ana
that's all they had, with the exception
of bacon and eggs and few little side
dishes. We Mortified our hostess that
morning by eating only % waffles. Our
allotment was 81, and she said It was
unpatriotic not to clean the platter"

The woman sat bewildered In the
presence of such extraordinary hon.

the trust. After the man left the car,
she, too, attempted to establish line
OF communication with the conductor,
but failed. She was nearing her own
destination, but conscience forbade
her leaving the car until her neigh
boris fare had been paid. Before that
feat was accomplished she had been
carried four blocks past her street.
When she finally got home her temper
was slightly damaged.
