HOME BUREAU WORK
IN LAFAYETTE COUNTY
Executive Committee Making
Preparations For The
Coming Year.

The women Of Lafayette
County are planning the Home
Bureau work for another year,
as the first years work ended
July /. The executive commit
tee of the organization is count
ing on the support Of all the old
members, three hundred eighty
five strong, as well as that of
many other interested women.
In spite of the fact that the
demands Of the Food Admins
tration had to be met as to the
kind Of work given, and the in
fuenza epidemic that curtailed
the work to a great extent, much
work has been accomplished, as
the following summary will
show.
Many meeting were held on
these subjects, reaching the fol-
lowing number Of women:
Six talks were given on Child
Feeding to 70 women. The val
ne of the hot lunch for school
children and the equipment and
management of the same was
discussed at six meetings before
189 interested persons. Six pro-
gressive schools put in the hot
lunch and another secured the
stove. We expect to greatly in
crease this number next year.
Twenty-Five women attended two
talks on Foods and Diet. How to
plan the balanced meal was ex-
planned, menus were criticised
and lists of various food groups
and their uses we're given to
149 housewives. The members
of two towns enjoyed 4 lesson
on the preparation Of trays fol
invaiids, members of the club
preparing the dainties. At the
same lesson, the diet in typhoid
was given and lists of suitable
foods we're received by the 6E
club members. The Home Bu-
reau work was explained at foul
meetings to 80 people. Foul
meetings for the organization Of
Girls Canning Clubs were helC
with an attendance of &C. Forty.
six girls and women enjoyed
three demonstrations in colo
pack canning. One club of si2
girls was visited. Home decora
tion was discussed at four meet
ings, attendance 112. Twenty

educational advantage. The first

Lafayette County has been one
of the pioneer counties in intro
ducing the Home Demonstra-
tion work, the biggest education
al movement since that of the
public school, and cannot afford
! to lose step with the other pro-
gressive counties in the state in
an effort to put the business OF
homemaking and the bringing
up of children on a scientific ba-
sis.

MAY GET REAL WAR RELIC
Distribution in This City Of a
Part of $4,000 Hand Gren-
AIDES is Announced.

auNo 10 AAAiUuANCus
Any school child of Lafayette
county may obtain free of cost a
real souvenir of the World War
if he takes advantage of the OPP
portunity that is now offered.
A real grenade, such as Uncle
Sans boys in khaki used when
they went over the top and
pounced down upon the boche,
is theirs for the asking.
Federal Director Wilson Of
the War Savings Organization
for the Eighth Federal Reserve
District, st. Louis, has about
10000 of these gernades, avail
able for the children of Missouri,
Arkansas and Kentucky. Distri-
button will be made in this city
through the agency authorized
to sell War Savings Stamps
during 1919.
The only requirement is that
the pupil be under 18 years of
age, and that he buy from the
/
authorized agency at least one
War Savings Stamp before re-
ceiving the grenade.
In view of the fact that there
are many hundreds of thousands
of pupils of an age to entitle
them to one of these genuine
war trophies and only 10000 a.
vailable, quick action will be nee
essary to obtain one.
Thus one of wars most deadly
weapons is converted into an in
strument to instill in the minds
of the young the spirit of thrift.
The weapon, before it was sent
on its peaceful mission was rem
dered harmless. The charge of
7. N. T. that it contained. and
the detonator and fuse have been
removed, and a slot has been
cut so that pennies and dimes
may be dropped in.
In most cases the distribution
is made through banks and
trust companies. This city was
one of the first in the state to
obtain a supply of the grenades.

Mr.. Rusheroft 0IssoIVes, Mr.. Jones IN

Mr.. Rushcroft explained that he had
had his supper. In fact, he went on
to confess, he had been compelled,
like the dog. to ''speak" for 1t. What
could be more disgusting, more degrad-

she had expressed in the ability and

would have looked for In . wild and
irresponsible youngster.
He recalled with thrill the imperf-
GUS manner in which she gave direc-
lions to the man, and his surprising
servility. It suddenly occurred to him
that she was no ordinary person; he
was rather amazed that he had not
thought of it before.
Moreover, now that he thought Of 1t,
there was, even in the agreeable re-
j0inders she had made to his offerings,
the faint suggestion of an accent that
should have struck him at the time
but did not for the obvious reason that

he had failed to detect the almost i'm
perceptible foreign flavor that now
took definite form in his reflections.
He tried to place this accent. Was
1t French or Italian or Spanish? Ger
tainly 1t was not German.
He took a few turns up and down
the long porch, stopping finally at the
upper end. The clear, inspiring clang

Of q hammer on an anvil fell sud-
denly upon his ears. He looked at his
watch. The hour was nine, certainly
an unusual time for men to be at work
in a forge. He remembered two men
in the taproom who were bare-armed
and wore the shapeless leather aprons
Of the smithy.
He had been standing there not
more than half a minute peering in
the direction from whence came the
rhythmic bang of the anvil-at NO
great distance, he was convinced
when some one spoke suddenly at his
elbow. He whirled and found himself
facing the gaunt landlord.
Good Lord! You startled me-" he
exclaimed. His gaze Travelled past the
tall figure of Putnam Jones and rested
on that of a second man, who leaned,
with legs crossed and arms folded,
against the porch post directly in front
of the entrance to the house, his fea-
lures almost wholly concealed by the
brOad-brimmed slouch hat that came
far down over his eyes. He, too, It
seemed to Barnes, had sprung from
nowhere.
"Fierce night" said Putnam Jones,
removing the corncOb pipe from his
lips. Then. as an afterthought.

ing that he was being pumped" "One

"What about them countries down
around Bulgaria and Roumania? I've
been considerable interested in what's
going to become of them If Germany
gets licked. What do they get out of
it, either way?"

come!" He neglected to say that Mr..
Montague Bacon, in passing a few
minutes before, had leaned over and
whispered behind his hand:
"Fellow upstairs from New York,
Mr.. Rushcroft-fellow named Barnes.
Quite a swell, believe me-"
1t was well-placed tip. for Mr..
Rushcroft had been telling the natives
for days that he knew everybody
worth knowing in New York.
Barnes was momentariIy taken
aback. Then he rose to the spirit of
the occasion.
"He,io, Rushcroft," he greeted, as If
meeting an old-time and greatly be-
loved friend. "ThIs is good. 'Pon
my soul you are like a thriving date
palm in the middle of an endless des-
ert. How are you?"
They shook hands warmly. Mr.. Dil-
lingford slapped the newcomer on the
shoulder affectionately, familiarly, and
shouted:
"Who would have dreamed we'd run
across good old Barnesy up here? By
Jove, It's marvellous
"Friends, countrymen," doomed Mr..
Rushcroft, "thls is Mr.. Barnes Of New
York. Not the man the book was
written about but one Of the best fell
lows God ever put into this little world
of ours. do not recall your names
gentlemen, or 1 would introduce each
Of you separately and divisibly."
Lyndon Rushcroft was tall, saggy
man of fifty. Despite his determined
erectness he was inclined to sag from
the shoulders down. His head, huge
and gray, appeared to be much too
ponderous for his yielding body. and
yet he carried 1t manfully, even the
atrically. The lines in his dark, sea-
soned face were like burrows; his nose
was large and somewhat bulbOus, his
mouth wide and grim. Thick, black
eyebrows shaded pair of eyes in
which white was no longer apparent
1t had given way to permanent red.
A two-days' stubble covered his chin
and cheeks. Altogether he was sin
gular exemplifcation of ones idea Of
the old-time actor.
Passing through the office, his arm
linked in one of Barnes, Mr.. Rush
croft hesitated long enough to impress
upon Landlord Jones the Importance
Of providing his distinguished friend,
Robert w. Barnes" with the very best
that the establishment afforded. Put
nam Jones blinked slightly and his
eyes sought the register as II to ac-
cuse or justify his memory. Then he
spnt copiously into the corner, nec-
essary preliminary to grin. He
hadn't much use for the great Lyndon
Rushcroft. His grin was sardOnic.
Something told him that Mr.. Rush.
croft was about TO he literally fed.
