my profits extensively. but I
don't believe in lacking the war
tax onto the price and then
passing this additional expense
on to the customer. | believe
that the many patrons of the
Barr stores will thoroughly ap-
preciate this method of doing
business, and the additional
trade that will come to us dur
ing the coming year will doubt
less more than offset the in
creased overhead expense which
the war tax makes necessary.
You doubtless realize that it
is a most fragrant violation to
charge war tax to the customer
when the dealer himself has not
paid it. Any concern who has
followed this method will find
themselves coming in conflict
with the authorities if they do
not change their system. In my
case, We are paying the war tax,
charging it to overhead expense,
and yet our customers are get
ting the advantage of the same
cut rates that existed before the
war tax went into effect"

wanting more money for use in an ab- surd so-called charity campaign, cuts down the wages of his employees. A boys father is killed in the strike, and the boy, going to the big city, is drawn into the vicious. evil ways of the life into which he is hurled. He is rescued by girls love. For a crime he did not commit, the boy is sent to prison; the girls baby is for cibly taken from her by the charity workers, and the boy is unjustly com demned for murder. Following an appeal to the governor the condemned man is declared innocent, but only af- ter thrilling race between an auto mobile and the governors train.
 But "The Mother and the Law" IS far from being play of pathos and tragedy. A persistent thread of sat ire runs through it, and Griffith's sense of the artistic is manifest in the delightful comedy relief just at the moments when the story becomes tense.
 Mir Griffith handles great crowds in this production as he has handled them heretofore-with matchless tact and complete understanding of the mob spirit. The big scenes of the play are said to be thrilling and sen- sational, and the final climax verita- ble whirlwind of realism.

Mrs. Emma Blackmar Covers Fifty-Three Miles a Day Car rying the Mails.-Husband Killed By Falling Tree Three Years Ago.

Working from early in the morning until late at night to keep her family together and her three children in school, Mrs. Emma Blackmar, mid dle aged woman of Woodstock Valley, finds time to run her little farm. with the assistance of her fourteen year old boy. after school hours, and also to cover 53 miles daily carrying the U. s. mail, packages, passengers, etc.. on two separate mail routes,
 In Mrs, Blackmar The Patriot claims it has discovered another Nothing to do till tomorrow" worker. Best of all Mrs. Blackmar meets her duties with a smile, is optimistic, and ap- parently happy that she is able to do what she considers her duty to her fatherless children. When asked if the strenuous labors of each twenty four hours did not tire her or affect her health, Mrs. Blackmar said with a smile that it did not, that she was feeling fine, but had grown a bit thin ner.
 Mrs. Blackmar's husband was in.
 jured three years ago by tree falling on him while he was in the woods chopping. He died few days later at the Day Kimball hospital, Putnam. Confronted with the necessity of sup. porting herself and three children and of giving the children the education she craves for them, Mrs. Blackmai faced the situation with the heart of heroine. She did not sit back and wait for something to turn up, or seek assistance, but decided what she must do to preserve the farm, keep the family together and keep the children
 in school. This decision was to dc
 some work that would bring in the necessary income.
 Mrs. Blackmar applied for and SC,

 LATEST GRIFFITH PLAY

David w. Griffith, producer of Hearts of the World, ''The Birth of a Nation" 'The Fall of Babylon, V and other noted motion picture clas- sics, strikes resounding blow at ex- isting social conditions in his tremen- dous dramatic play, "The Mother and the Law," announced as the special attraction at the Bradley theatre We'd nesday and Thursday.
 As in Hearts of the World" MT. Griffith's principal characters are The Girl and The Boy. Briefly, "The Mother and the Law" concerns big strike in a mill because an employer,

WOMAN DRIVES RURAL ROUTES
 TO SUPPORT FAMILY
Has Pair of Horses, Four Head of Stock, Hogs and General Farm Work to Look After Keeps Three Children In School.

Mrs. Blaekmar decided that, in addi- tion to her other work, she could handle this job" so applied and again was accepted. She began driv ing this route the first of November
 Mrs. Blackmar is up early in the morning, long before the sun, espe- cially at this time of year, and after doing what she can about the farm and getting the family breakfast, leaves in her Ford car for Eastford some miles away. She leaves East ford for Putnam Ut s.45, arriving in this city about 10 o'clock. She leaves on the return trip at 11.S0 and arrives in Eastford about t2.45 and, having made her deliveries, drives back to the Valley and home.
 In the afternoon Mrs. Blackmar again leaves the Valley to carry the mail to Westford, nine miles away. When she returns late in the after noon she has nothing to do but to help on the farm where there are, besides pair of horses, four head of stock, number of hogs and chickens. Of course there is housework and mend ing and few other little tasks that keep Mrs. Blackmar busy well into the night. She goes to bed tired, nat urally, but after few hours of sound, healthy, sleep, she awakes refreshed for another full day of physical la bor, labor made pleasant, for it is q labor of love as well as duty.
 Mrs. Blackmar was asked what she should do when the deep snow comes. "0h," was the reply, 'I have my pair of horses" The difficulties to over come in encompassing the drifts to come do not in the least alarm this | brave woman. She has a purpose in life and has the courage to carry it out.
 There are many people who deplore their hard lot, who covet wealth and who wish for ease, who may learn a lesson from the life of this woman and, like her. possibly find rest and contentment in doing for others and having each day full to the utmost, | full of self sacrifice and service, life which is sure to bring joy and happi- ness to those discontented with their lot who live each day for themselves alone and deplore the fact that others are better off than themselves.

FLAVOR DISCUSSION WITH PICKLES AND
 TASTY SANDWICHES
CBy Biddy Bye)

How many times are you called in to help plan a light supper to follow a lodge meting, board of trade meet ing, or, perhaps, q WomenS auxiliary meeting? After many times ideas are liable to run low. Or perhaps the occasion calls for a fairly substantial lunch, while your thoughts travel toward a lighter, daintier affair Any how, it's well to store up a few notes on both kinds
 If the weather is too warm to allow thoughts of hearty food, anyone-man or WOman-Wiu be most refreshed after a meeting by a buffet lunch of berries, either trawberries or rasp- berries, ice ceam, coffee and cake or cookies.
 But if they have an appetite for something more, a buffet supper may be enlarged to this:
 Coffee, bouillon (hoth in large urns), sliced cold-boiled ham, potato salad, homemade Parker House rolls. pickles.
 Or variation of this kind:
 Sandwiches piled high on large plates-good, old-fashioned sliced ham sandwiches, sliced or minced chicken sandwiches, or cheese and to- mato sandwiches, bananas, coffee or cocoa.
