is SAVING OUT OF FASHION?

Davenport Times-After all the in,
dividual has much to do with the
high cost of living. Perhaps we shall
all have to return to that old prac-
tice of thrift which enabled our pa
rents and grandparents to accumulate
enough to buy their farms and homes
and scrape together the capital with
which to establish the factories and
other business enterprises which con.
verted this undeveloped prairie coun-
try into a fairly decent place in which
to live. There has to be some regard
for outgo as well as income. Net in
come is increased in two ways, by
saving and by getting more wages.
All attention seems now to be focused
upon getting more wages when at
least half of the duty of the individual
in trying to make ends meet ought
to be directed to the practice of rea-
sonable personal and family economy.

Put Up Every Pound of
Fruit You Can Get
This Summer

Many a woman hesitates to try putting
up fruit at home.
She fears she will only waste expensive
materials.
It really is very simple. Just make your
preserving syrup with "a Karo (Red Label
and "a sugar instead Of sugar alone.
You can then be as sure of your results
as the woman who always has 'luck" with
her preserving.
Nice fine, clear Karo Syrup has a natural
affinity for the fruit juices. 1t blends the
sugar with thc juice-brings out the rich
"fruity" favcr, ard insures firm jams and
jellies that never candy" in the glass.
A well-flled fruit pantry will give you
much pleasure this winter, when fresh fruits
are scarce and high, if you just use Karo
Syrup with your sugar.
For Cooking, Baking and Candy Making Karo
(Red Label is used II millions of homes. In all
cooking and baking recipes use Karo instead OF
sugar. 1t is sweet, of delicate flavor, and brings
out the natural flavor of the food.

VICTORY LOAN
 AERIAL CIRCUS
 AT LITTLE ROCK
Flying Exhibition Will Be Staged on Sunday,
 April 13.

Definite dates have been set on which the big air squadron to assist in the Liberty Loan programs in the Reserve District will make their ap- pearance.
 Memphis will be the first cty in the district to be visited by the flyers. The squadron will exhibit there on April 12. Little Rock will entertain them on April 13, St. Louis on April 14, and Louisville April 23.
 The air squadron assigned to the eighth federal reserve district will consist of seventeen planes, includ- ing some of the very latest French, British and American types, and four captured German Fokkers.
 Two other squadrons similarly for med will be sent about the country for the double purpose of advestising the Victory Liberty Loan and ac- quain the public with the develop ment of aeronautics during the war.
 The planes will be carried from city to city on special trains, each consisting of the enddoor baggage cars. They will be accompanied by a group of noted American, French and British pilots, who have seen actual battle service at the front, and by one hundred enlisted men and civilians who will set the planes up on arrival and take them down again for ship ment The exhibition will consist of sham battles in the air between four planes representing the Allies and f-, ~ I 11. J,l, will attack two Allied scout planes sent out to drop Liberty Loan litera- ture over the field. The scout planes will escape and during the chase four Allied planes will slip upon the Folk kers and attack them. The battle between the Allies and the German planes will afford opportunity for the flyers to show the crowd all the latest and most successful tricks of sky fighting.
