CONSUMER CAN ORDER
GOODS DIRECT FROM
GOVERNMENT NOW

There may be some question in diff
ferent parts of the city as to just why
Mt. Vernon is not getting in on any
of the large meat sales and sales of
general army-supplies that the govern
ment is now disposing of from Wash
ington.
One reason is because the PROPOSE
tion was not talked up seriously
enough among the different organiza-
tions Of the city that could afford to
finance such purchase.
At first it was necessary for pur-
chaser to buy car load of produce
before n shipment would be made, and
the purchaser was to pay for 1t within
ten days. or course no one person,
no matter how philanthropic he might
be, would care to go this risk. The
city organizations did not agitate the
matter and the proposition went by
for others
But now the government has chang
ed It's policy of sale. and the cOnsum
er can buy any amount of goods that
he desires direct from headquarters by
going to the postmaster and getting
the proper papers, which are now be
ing supplied every postoffice In the
country from Washington. The good.
will be sent the purchaser by parce
post.
The city post office will have these
papers in few days.

IT is fashionable this season to
wear the small fur neckpiece
which, with the muff, that is also
worn smaH-quite small and round
adds richness as we'll as warmth to
the winter suit.
Though furs are like everything
else are extremely expensive this
year, there is the redeeming quality
about good piece of fur that it US
ually is good for several seasons, pro-
viding, of course, it is properly cared
for. An expert furrier advises fur
should be combed occasionally and
gently beat to separate the hairs.
When wet it should never be exposed
to steam or other heat but permitted
to dry naturally.
About the most popular fur sets
this season are of squirrel, of which
nice model is illustrated in the
center sketch. Fitch is not so pop
ular as several seasons ago but it lis
shown a good deal in attractive neck
pieces and muffs like the model at
the top The mole collar at the bot
tom showed a talent for the unusual
in adding a little cape.
