The report as il stands shows quite an
interest in preserving foods and a reason.
able amount of success. if the figures are
any indication. Some communities have
preserved few eggs when less expensive
for Use later, while others do it n great
deal. Some canned no meats. Others a
small amount. while q few were very
brave and canned moderate supply.
Meat was perhaps the least represented,
but the meat canning season has only just
begun where farm women especially can
plan for their summer meals. Vegetables
are now being canned in nearly all COM
munities, although in not very large
quantities. when VIC think of the fact
that VIC should plan for vegetables of
some kind at least once each day during
winter as we'll as summer. Fruits have
long been successful preserved and were
this year although in the opinions of most
of the canvassers less fruits were canned
this year than usual on account of the
shortage in both fruits and sugar
On the whole We are glad to say that
Windham county women responded to
the call for food preserving very we'll
a good beginning has been made and
those who have had good success in a
small way this year may safely under
take more another season. To those
who have done this for years We would
say that to give confidence TO others
through your experience is Il great scrv-
ice.
We are asked to conserve to pre-
serve aud thus TO serve Uncle Sam
These very things have taught us a Ger
tain thrift we shall retain as invaluable
to ourselves.
Appreciat ion is extended from those
in charge TO all who helped in toking the
census, and we were glad to find most
people pleased to cooperate. Only two
or three instances were reported Of rc,
fusal because of fear that it would be
taken away" We hope You join with
the sentiment in the words of one of the
census takers who said, "Quitc enjoycd

by all the ladies' When the work and the
good that il ia likely to do in the COM
munity were thoroughly explained nearly
everyone could see that it was good

Baby Marie Osborne

Baby Marie Osborne, the diminu- tive pathe star, upon the expiration of her holiday visit to New York, started on a sentimental journey to friends" which will include twenty four cities between the Atlantic and the Pacific.
 Her trip includes Boston. Newark, Philadelphia, Washington, Pittsburg, Buffalo. Cleveland, Cincinnati, Detroit, Indianapolis, Chicago, Milwaukee, Min neapolis, Des Moines, St. Louis, Kan sas City, omaha, Denver, San Fran ciasco and Los Angeles. Her first pie ture play was made three years ago, in the nature of an experiment. It was titled Little Mary Sunshine" by Pathe, and it launched Baby Marie upon screen career that has made her a favorite with millions of picture fol- lowers.
 Marie, despite her remarkable suc- cess, is an unspoiled lovable youngster She adores moving pictures, but pre- fers to see the work of others rather than her own She delights in romping comedy, and after Charlie Chapin she adores Harold Lloyd. Her two latest successes are "Milady O the Bean stalk and 'Dolly's Vacation"
 At tho end of the journey, Leon T. Osborne, father of the little star, will resume independent production Of these juvenile pictures in the Pathe's western studios

Beach Likes Zieqfeld's Taste

Announcement by Goldwyn that Rex Beach has engaged Kay Laurell to play the leading feminine role in his newest motion picture, "The Brand" recalls the success in previous Rex Beach productions of past and present members of the Ziegfeld 'Follies" or ganization, of which Miss Laurel was once featured and favored player.
 When Rex Beach produced The Auction Block,' fo rGoldwyn release he chose for leading woman Ruby De Remer, a favorite of the "Follies" then comparatively unknown in pie lures. The debut of Will Rogers Ziegfeld's cowboy monologist was more recent in MT. Beach's Laugh ing Bill Hyde" Now MT. eRach is further testing his ability to pick win ners by engaging Miss Laurell, who never has been seen in motion pie lures.
 Miss Laurell has left for the Gold wyn studios in Los Angeles. Rex Beach will shortly go to the coast to personally supervise the production
