the war, the speaker said that Ger
many has now bigger, better equip
ped army than ever before, and
has added to her former resources all
Of the conquered territory. He also
told of how the government there
has for years been taking portion
of the crops every year and storing
them away for use in such an emer-
gency as the present. Regarding
our own progress in war preparation,
he said that it was expected the
first year 60 per cent. of the needed
vessels would be built; as matter
of fact, only II per cent. can be
launched.
In regard to the food situation,
which concerns the authorities most
just now, he said that even in nor
NAL times our European allies can
not feed themselves. Added to this,
more food is consumed during war
than in peace, and he urged in a
most convincing manner the neces-
sity for preparations to De made at
once to increase the food supply.
Altogether Mr.. Cooper did not
paint very optimistic picture of the
situation, and he urged the people
to arouse themselves to the real con-
ditions that are prevailing. AS food
is the great factor at present, the
people who are selected by Uncle
Sam to stay at home must shoulder
the burden and responsibility of pro-
ducing the food. The present con-
dition of the food supply he attrib-
uted to the fact that the people are
not yet fully aware that the war is
on. They know it in general way,
and they will know it in more har-
rowing manner later, but much of
the horror of war may be averted
by meeting the present crisis. Great
Britain and France and Italy are
fighting our battles, and they cannot
hold out unless America supplies
them food. Our failure to feed them
and cooperate with them with men,
money and supplies might mean their
defeat. In this eventuality it will
mean that we shall have to fight the
Germans in America singlehanded.
One statement of the speaker was
of especial interest: He said that
there is reason to believe that Ger
many long years ago planned the
conquest of America, and that the
landing point, it is indicated, would
be along the coast of South Carolina,
in which case we would be directly
in the path of the invaders.

Peter Rabbit Is Cornered.

Peter Rabbit is a funny fellow. Yes.
sir. he certainly Is. But there are
many people in this world just like
him It seems as II they cannot keep
away from trouble when they have
the chance.
Now. OF course, 1t was perfectly
splendid Of Peter to save the eggs Of
Mrs. Slow Poke the Boz Turtle the
way he did. and for him to feel that
he must stay near them to watch over
them so that no harm might come
to them. And 1t was perfectly nat
ural that he should feel greatly re-
Iieved when the raindrops beat down
the earth SO that even he could not
buried those eggs. This meant that
he could go home to the dear Old
Briar-patch with an easy mind. And
this is what he did.
If Peter had had any wisdom at all he
would have kept away from that place
near the edge of the Green Forest
where those eggs of Mrs. Slow Poke
were buried. OF course. Any one
with the least bit of common sense
would have. But Peter didn't. No,
times seems as If Peter hadn't COM
mon sense. This is because curiosity
SO often takes its place. He knew
that both Unc Billy Possum and Jim
my Skunk suspected that Mrs. Slow
Poke had buried her eggs somewhere
about that place and that both were
likely to return there to look for
them. for both are very fond Of eggs
So. knowing these things. you would
suppose that Peter would have kept
away.
But curiosity was too much for COM
mon sense. and Peter was back there
near the bramble-tangle on the edge
of the Green Forest the very next
day. He wanted to know If those

Perhaps It fs the mother herself who

Dressmaker's Helper.
To go out by the day or hour and
prepare garments for the dress
maker to remodel is an occupation
by which an unframed woman can
make a city living. way that calls
only for ordinary common sense
and care, and few simple tools
The principal work is to rip the
garments carefully. remove every
vestige Of a thread, free them thor
oughly from dust, clean out such
spots as do not call for the service
of q professional cleaner, and press
the goods. In short. to so prepare
them that the dressmaker can begin
her work without any delay.
A bright woman will find many
ways in which to improve her serv-
ices and render herself invaluable to
her employers. Such work calls for
extreme care in every portion Of it,
for the garments must in no wise be
injured during the ripping, cleansing
and pressing. The tools necessary are
two pairs of scissors, one with very
sharp edges and round points. the
other with sharp edges and very
sharp points, and a ripping knife. Of
which there are several kinds on the
market. Two dollars or less will
cover the cost of f1rst-class arti-
when buying edged tools.
A woman who would be good at
the foregoing occupation would prob
ably be good at darning and mend
ing. and could combine that with the
other work. Probably every house
that she would visit would have more
or less of this for her to do, such as
darning stockings. mending table
linen, putting on skirt bindings. sew
ing hooks and eyes on waists, mend
ing lace, shortening skirts and SINH
