The new bookkeeping, arithmetic
and business English courses which
the educational department of the Z,
NJ c.. A. have scheduled to begin on
Wednesday evening. give promise OF a
large membership among the employ
ed men and boys Of Keokuk.
The course is listed for twelve
weeks, but those who are not able to
finish in that time may continue their
work with the bookkeeping classes
which will be started next fall.
The course is based upon the plan
which is carried out in the larger bust
ness colleges of the middle west with
& definite number of units to be Gov
cred before a student can finish the
course.
Charles F.. Stirewalt Is to conduct
the courses and it oes without saying
that the instruction in these courses
will be excellent.

This is the fourth course which the
educational department of the T., M.
C. A. has put or since the FIRST OF the
year, and the large lumber of work
ing men and boys who have come into
TIE chemistry, mechanical drawinS
and automobile school classes indicate
very strongly that the men and boys
OF the city want to study and to learn
more about the work which they are
dong and that they want to progress
generally. :,
The instruction in all courses Is
free to new members. The y. NJ. Y.

pe this association to help every en-

Shopping Tours and Purchase Prepared Meals Lou Cost

Housewives of Chestnut Hill find
some of their domestic problems Gis-
appearing with the advent Of the com q
munity center home cooked food shop,
which opened recently at $40 Ger
mantown avenue.
Now servantless women may drop
into the food shop on their way home
from club or shopping and purchase
vegetables. desserts and home made
breads. They have to carry the things
home themselves, for there is no de-
livery service. and some of the things
may have to be reheated at home. But
the housewives are delighted with the
plan and its popularity is growing.
Some of them get only desserts or
perhaps just the meat for the dinner at
the food shop. Others carry home the
entire meal. The prices are reasonable,
annd they find the plan great saver OF
time and energy. Meat dishes including
enough for four persons sell for an
average of sixty cents. Desserts are
from FIVE to ten cents for each person
and vegetables are ten cents a serving.

Big Year For Honey

Increase in the cost of honey, due to the big export demand created by the war, makes it safe to predict that the coming year will see the greatest effort ever made in furthering bookkeeping, ac- cording to the annual report of the bu- reau of entomology. United States de- partment of agriculture. During the last half of the year honey to the value or perhaps s2,0O0,o00 was exported-about 10 times the valuation for any year previous to the beginning of the war-indicating that honey has ceased to be luxury in the minds of the allied peoples.
 Also, the home demand for honey has increased. Figures are not availabla, however, as much as the honey of this country never reaches the larger centers of trade. In addition to these two de- mands, the heavy loss of bees during the winter of 1917 and a resultant decrease in production in the eastern United States likewise was responsible for in, creasing the price of honey to the high est figure recorded in many years.
 In expediting shipments of honey and supplies for bookkeeping, and especially in granting permits to beekeepers to buy sugar for feeding their bees where this was necessary, the United States food administration has been of great help it is stated. The issuing of Semimonthly market reports by the bureau of mar kets,' United States department of agri- culture, has made it possible for the first time for the producer to get reliable information regarding the honey mar kets. This has been chief factor in making it feasible to encourage beekeep- CTS to increase their production. Of i'm portance in this crisis in the bee industry has been the continuation of the cror reports of the bureau of crop estimates
 The United States food administration permitted the chief factories of beekeep- ing supplies to operate on fuelless days and supplied one factory with coal at a serious time, and the postoffice depart ment ruled that bees without combs may be shipped by parcels post This ruling materially helps in the proper dis tribution of bees whenever there is se- rious bee shortage in any part of the country.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-01-09

In response to the call of the govern ment to speed up the production of meat state leaders of boys and girls clubs in the northern and western states immediately enrolled S2,650 members for that purpose. They were asked to devote their attention to pork production, inasmuch as hogs can be grown in comparatively short time. On the basis of each boy and girl en- rolled growing one pig, and figuring the weight of each pig at 200 pounds when ready for market. these boys and girls are producing 6,530,000 pounds of pork. At 20 cents a pound this means a value considerably over $1,000,000
 Samuel Evans of Brazil, Clay county, Indiana, club boy Is years old, gives his reasons for entering a pig contest and tells his experience in the follow ing story:
 THE STORY OF MY PIG"
 The reason that I entered the pig contest was an argument that I had with neighbor. He said that a hog would not gain over a pound a day for any length of time. I said that he was wrong and that I would prove it to him.. I immediately started to look around for pig. Because of the previous observations I had made I decided to get a .Duroc Jersey. I sent to different experiment stations for bulletin relating to hogs, and read all could about them in books and farm papers. From the analyses of feeding stuff in the bulletins I got the address Of the firms that sold the best feed. and sent for some. I went into the contest with all my heart because I felt that l must defend my argument.
 BUILT A HOUSE t
 q built house and pen. The house was in cool, shady place, where the sun could shine on it few hours in the, mornings. Close by it I made a cement wallow and an oiler. The fence was built around the patch of rape, oats, and clover that I had sown for tho pig I made things sanitary and kept them so during the contest The next step was to introduce the little runt to his new quarters. If he was disgusted he did not show it by grunt- ing, for from some cause after the first day he never grunted, squealed, nor rooted. Several things indicated that this pig needed spice for his sys- tenn. and as variety is the spice of life 1 decided on a variety of feeds and way of feeding which were none the worst for the pig. People must have their foods prepared differently at different meals, and as a pig comes close to being the same as some so- called humans, I prepared his feed accordingly.
 "I fed only the amount of feed that the pig would clean up in short time, consequently he ate large quanti- ties of pasture I was always on the job and the pig responded. and it was not long until had not a pig but hog instead.
 The results of the contest were: The pig weighed 5S pounds at the be- ginning and 243 pounds at the end He gained lS5 pounds in 92 days, or pounds a day. The cost of food was S9.3O, or cents per pound of gain. The value at the end was $46.17 and the profit was $2S.S7.
 "On account of the hot weather II l'cpt him few days after the contest ended. and when I butechered him he
