You must be the son of my old friend Edward Miller" said the man back on a visit in his home town to the small boy he met on the street, for you have his eyes and his mouth.
 'Yes, and his pants, too" piped up Eddie.
 This winter Eddie Miller won't be alone when it comes to wearing fa- ther's cast-off trousers cut down for his diminutive form All over the coun- try the Eddies and Johnnies are being clad in warm garments made from dis carded clothing which of late years has been given or thrown away, and the Susies and Marys display with pride the dress mother made from her year-before-last skirt" Thrift has be- come the rule almost overnight. The old saw, "a penny saved is a penny earned" has taken on fresh meaning to many in the past year.
 With those whose incomes are thousand dollars ors less economists state 40 to 60 per cent has had to go for food during these war years. Rents have gone up, too in many places, so that often the only place where 9 cut can be made in expenses is in the cloth ing column. Realizing that there are many who, anxious to save by utiliz- ing old materials, are unable to do so because of lack of knowledge, the home demonstration agents under the exten- sion service of the department of agri- culture in connection with the state agricultural colleges have been holding classes in clothing conservation in all parts of the country.

However, the models in these up-to-date fashion shows wear garments remodeled from old material.
 The campaign has been especially strong in Iowa and Nebraska. Stores, halls, private homes and libraries have been utilized for the exhibits and as places in which to hold the eclinies.' D To the clinics" those who are inter ested bring garments and leftovers and discuss with the expert in charge the best way of putting them to new uses Tn Cerro Gordo county. Iowa, an es. pecially interesting display of gar ments was held in the Mason City Ii brary.
