The very next thing that every one
thought about, as soon as the noise of
He peace jubilee died down, was
something new to wear. There was
of dress, frOm the economiZing that
the war inspired, from the rather Sc
date cOlOrs and plain StyleS-frOm do
ing without-tO just the other things.
DreSsmakers are overwhelmed with
work and all women with one accord
want some new and pretty clothes.
This is the most natural feeling in
the world since clothes are our uni
versal means Of expression and we
must dress up to the jOyOuSneSS of
having our victorious soldiers home
again.
Wraps and coats Of cloth or fur. or
both combined, have been made in q
great variety of styles this season.
Originality in design has been a fea-
ture of the styles so that a new
conner among them must be of SUI
perior quality and very unusual de-
sign to meet the high standards al
ready set. Here's a new wrap,
unique combination of coat and cape
that invites comparisons. 1t appears
to be of a heavy jersey cloth but one
can visualize it in other soft coatings
as velours or pompon cloth. 1t is

Make Over Old Clothes.

Thrift is the watchwOrd of the ma
ton this year, and one of the most
practical ways in which this campaign
is being forwarded is work for the con-
s,arvation of clothes being done by
home demonstration agents of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture Economical persons always have
made over material which had wear
left in 1t. but many who could hardly
afford it have bought new garments in
the past because Of their lack OF
Knowledge Of how to remodel old ones.
Home demonstration agents of the
department Of agriculture and the
state agricultural colleges do not in
tend that this shall be the excuse with
any In their districts who have old
material which is worth remodeling.
At Lincoln, Neb., the mayor donated
space in the city hall for the work in
remodeling clothes. This room is I'M
der the supervision Of the home dem
onstratiOn agent and her assistants.
When their work takes them else
where, it is in charge of trained volun-
teers. Posters advertising this work
are being used extensively.
Long tables made from boards and
sawhorses are used to spread the gar
ments on. Good patterns and some at
tractive made-over garments to serve
as models are at hand, and adj
vice is given on how to put to new
uses any garments that are brought in.
The work is proving both useful and
DODular.

In an official announcement issued
to the 3,S54 chapters and 100000
members, Mr.. Dawson says:
'We must labor in cooperation with
the National Red Cross and relief So
cieties Of other nations to the end
that not alone the heart of America,
but the heart of all mankind. may be-
come modified on behalf of suffering
humanity.
"While. therefore. the plans Of the
American Red Cross in this direction
cannot be formulated specifically in
advance of the general relief program
Of the allied governments, the Ameri-
can Red Cross is nevertheless planning
to develop its permanent organization
in this country uoon scale never be-
fore contemplated in time of peace.
"Study is beng given by the ma
tional organization. not alone to prob
lens of international relief, but to
plans in this country for enlarged
home service, the promotion of public
health education. development of nurs-
Ing, the care AMI prevention Of acct
dents and other correlated lines which
may contribute to the health and hap
piness of men. women and children.
For the completion Of its war
work and for the institution OF its
peace program, the Red Cross is for
tunately in a healthy financial condi-
ton. WHAT the American Bed Cross
needs now is not so much contribu-
tions of money. as the continued devo

In the last sentence was the key
note of the Red Cross Christmas Roll

for funds.

FOOD INSPECTED
BY GOVERNMENT
Some of the Ways the United
States Safeguards the
Meat Supply.
LOOK FOR INSPECTION TAG
Products Containing Meat as Well ae
Cuts Must Pass Inspection
Many Women Now Being
Used as Meat inspectors.

The up-to-date housewife is no long
er ignorant or Indifferent to the neces-
sity of buying clean and wholesome
food for her family. Few realize, how
ever, to what extent the efforts of our
government have been responsible for
the bulk Of the foods sold today being
clear and untainted. With many foods,
particularly meat. there formerly was
40 way of ascertaining whether they
we're free from disease and dirt. One
could only trust and hope as to their
wholeSomeneSS.
Look for the Inspection Brand.
All this has changed with meat since
1900, when the meat inspection act
went into effect. There is still I'M
inspected meat on the market, but the
United States government, through the
department Of agriculture, has made it
possible for you to buy. if you choose,
that which was clean and free from
disease and decomposition, when 1t
left the packing house. There is no
involved method in getting this kind

industry, is carried on only in pack

Or foreign trade. Some states and
municipalities also require meat in

The brand which is shown in the
illustration is a guarantee that the
meat is wholesome and that the car

house; or possibly turned loose by
sone boy who had tired of his pet.
While the chipmunk was drinking

atone to sun himself. The chipmunk
watched the turtle for a second, then
darted at it fiercely.
The turtle quickly drew in his
bead; and the chipmunk ran to the
turtles rear and bit at the tail,
which the turtle quickly folded in
out of the way.
The little chipmunk then began
biting at the shell Of the turtle, and
he tried to get in between the two
layers of shell in order to find a
vital spot where be could bite the
turtle.
Finally man interfered, and
picked up the turtle to throw it into
the water; and even then the chip
munk jumped up in the air and
tried to reach it. When the turtle
was thrown into the lake, the chip
munk ran chattering to the waters
edge; and then scampered up into

Roberts Disappointed
Charles NJ Roberts, supervisor of
Cochise, was greatly disappointed
with the result of the democratic
state committee meeting. He had
actually expected the meeting to en-
dorse his gubernatorial candidacy.
AS a matter of fact, very little at
tention was paid to him and his
speech fell flat. Roberts is still on
good terms with Hunt, although the
former governor does not take him.

Hunt Against Campbell
A NUMBER OF mlQQle OF the ROAD
democrats made an earnest effort to
get Hunt to accept Hugh Campbell
as a guEernatorial candidate next
year. but the former governor re-
fused absolutely to listen to it, and
looks on Winsor as the only man
thus far mentioned who represents
progressive democracy.
Winsor stayed away from the COM
mittee meeting because he did not
want to be tound by any action
which might be taken to set aside
the primary. He did this after a
long conference with Hunt about ten
days ago. 1t is said to have been
agreed between them at this confer
ence that Winsor would stay away
from the meeting and Hunt would
attend to see that nothing was put
over on them.

WENT FOR DUCKS;
BACK With BADGER

Rick and Bob Cook took a run out
to the duck pond to shoot some
ducks, and brought back badger.
Rick says that he speared the
badger through the back legs as he
made for the hole, but was afraid to
pull his head out for fear that the
thing would lite him. We don't
know what they used to back the
badger up, but he got loose from
them, and Rick said the animal gave
them some more sport for about two
hours, till finally they got him in the
sack, and into town.
McDermott has been appointed
keeper and the badger can be seen
at the garage.

held the straws and naturally won the
draw Rick rowed Jim out to the
island before daybreak and was to
come back for him at o'clock for
breakfast but somehow Rick did not
get back at Z or at 8, or 10. Then
Jim, feeling very hungry and with no
breakfast thought the best thing to
do was to wade to shore, which is
about three-quarters of mile back to
the club. Jim says Rick did it on
purpose. However, the boys got three
ducks and had good time anyway.

which proved too tame, so he cranked
