ing gum for our soldiers and sailors
overseas. For n months delivery
recently it ordered 77h tons Of Amer.
ica's f~avorite jaw developer.
When one speaks Of chewing gum
in tons, the human mind starts to
miss fire and skid, for it takes con-
siderable gum to weigh 1000 pounds.
There are 100000 sticks in tn
tons.
Figuring the length of a stick Of
gum as three inches, this means 49,
$50, 900 inches of gum. Dividing by
u we have 4,0S0,O 900 feet Of the sue.
culent sticks. When you reduce this
to miles you have just plain 771.S
plus.
But even more stupendous figures
are to be had when you compute the
number Of "jaw-miles" that this. much
gum represents. It was found that
the average man Of phlegmatic tenn
permanent chews 70 times a minute,
while an energetic, hard-working, am.
bitioss young man will make 80 round

There are drills and discipline and,
for many, the work Of helping to put
France on her feet again. At tho

than they had before.
One Of the most important things
the Y. M. c. A. expects to do during
the rehabilitation period is to enter
into active competition with the
French wine shops. No, the Red Trt

said.

hand up warningly.
"Don't shock me OF alarm me, and

back on the pillows that moved her to
act as he wished, and she slipped up
to her own room without a word to any

as they came down stairs together
Beth heard a voice in the dining room,
a resounding, hearty, strong voice, Mr..

Stanwood bought the old Blain man

intended to move into his new home
before Christmas. Next he announced
that preparations were under way for

The evergreen girl had been sur

Dane had not even called. She had
thought it strange, too, at first, that
she did not receive an invitation to
the party, for she knew nearly every
one in Briefly was going.
But when Ruth was told the party
was to be given in honor of Stanwood's
fancee, she understood why she had
not been invited.
"That is why Helen, Stanwcod didn't
mention the party when she ordered
these wreaths," Ruth thought, a. she

up the path. The bell jingled merrily.

ceived from New York, for educational
administrators, such rs school super
intendents, high school and grade prin-
cipals and college and university pro-
fessors.
There is still Z call for good chauf-

for overseas duty, all Of whom must
be of good moral character.
It is, stated that the Y. M. c. A.

leSenQ, line evergreen SnOp.'
Every year during the Christmas
season Ruth Thomas made hundreds
of evergreen wreaths, which she sold
for Christmas decorations.
This was why the people Of Briefly
called her the evergreen girl.
The day before Christmas Ruth sat
in her little shop finishing the last
wreath she would make that season.
"There" she said, deity twisting a
sprig of bright red berries among the
evergreen stems, that finishes Helen
Stanwood's order, and thank goodness
it's done in time. Oh, dear" she sighed,
laying the wreath aside, q" do wish I

Dane Stanwood had taken her to

he caught her as she was standing
under the mistletoe bough, and
The sudden roar of a high-power auto
mobile broke in upon Ruth's musings,
and she looked out in time to see q
long blue roadster flash past the gate.
The car belonged to Dane Stanwood.
Shortly after the Christmas party at
Dolly Blair's Dane had gone West to
become a mining engineer. He had
written a few times to Ruth and then
the letters had stopped coming, and
she had not heard from him for nearly
four years. Then, just a month ago,

she had seer in the street that day.

that isn't any Of Jul business, is it?"
That Is the attitude Of some people at

out for any outside their own happy
little circle, and such miss the best OF

The postmaster informs The Her
aid that up to Monday morning OF
this week, the total sales of War saw
ings and thrift stamps at all post
Offices in the county, reported to that
date, did not exceed $4,000. This is
a serious matter. Is it possible that
there are enough persons in this
county to make pledges of upward
of $125,000 who would not, keep
their pledges? 1t is almost unbeliev-
ables-.yet these are the facts. The
county pledged to buy about $780,
600 in war stamps last June. Up
to that time there had been sales of
some $4,000 or more, and this
should have put the county across ii
all the pledges had been redeemed.
It is not at all likely that all of the
parties making pledges intend to re-
deem them within the remaining
week in this month. 1t certainly
looks as if about half of those max
ing pledges have no intention OF
keeping them. This is a matter to
cause serious consideration. 1t can
not be that the people are suddenly
confronted with a shortage of money.
Money has never been so plentiful
as now. People have never spent
spent money so lavishly and unstint-
ingly as during the past fall. They
have not baked on paying $40 for a
paid of shoes that could have been
bought for SIS a year or two ago;
vet, when it comes to making this in
vestment in Uncle Sans securities,
they fall down fiat. And, the seri-
Gus part of it is that this is no do
nation, but simply a money saving
proposition. The government only
asked the people last june to pledge
to save %$250,000, which is a mere
bagatelle for this prosperous county.
The county will be disgraced if the
final accounting shows that we have
been weighed in the balance and
found wanting. This is a ! matter of
honor. An honest man feels that his
honor depends on him keeping his
obligations. We suggest the necessi-
ty Of the war savings committees
making a canvass after the first of
January to ascertain who have kept
their pledges. The columns of The
Herald are open for the publication
of a list of all those who have not
kept their pledges. Lists were kept
of all pledges. AS a matter of rec
ord, let's now ascertain who have
kept them, and who have not kept
them. 1t will be a good guide for all
persons who do a credit business.
In the meantime there is yet a week
in which stamps can be bought.
