After some difficulty the catch" was
pulled close enough to the bank to
see that it was huge catfish. Ohio
tied one end of the line to tree and
ran for help. Two men responded and
it was all they could do to hold the
fish on dry land after it bad been
taken from the water. AH of their
strength was required to carry it to
the town, as it did not die for some
time. The fish weighed 100 pounds
and was sold for $3.50 to the village

PRESERVING THE PAPER SUPPLY.

Formerly, food products were sold
from barrels and jars, and carried
home by purchasers in big paper
bags, each containing good sized
quantities. Now these products are
piled up on shelves in the grocery
store. Each has it's fancy colored lit
tie box. 1t sells at higher price,
because it looks prettier and more
snappy. When you buy it, the clerk
needlessly wraps it up in, another
sheet of paper. Every time you buy
goods on this system, you help waste
the paper supply. This makes news
papers and all other paper using pro-
ducts cost more. 1t may not be pos
sible to persuade people to go back to
the old system of buying in bulk out
of barrel, which is good economy
if YOU have a clean grocer. If people
would buy larger packages each time,
and tell the clerk not to waste piece
of wrapping paper in doing it up,
they could do a lot to keep down the
price of all paper using goods.

Community Mouse Cares for Norfhside Youngsters
 While Mothers Are atWork
By CAROLYN n. ELLIOTT

and members of the Volunteer Relief Association have been splendid to come twice a week Only today the children have had the most wonderful time at a party in the big, pretty home of Mrs. E. B, Williams. They rolled on that wide. grassy lawn and ate gingerbread men to their hearts content.
 What else do they eat besides gin- ger-bread men when there aren't any parties. and when there are still 365 days in the year to serve luncheon?" Just think of 45 hungry babies and only one mother to plan a wholesome meal every day.
 They like butterbeans and fresh but termilk and we always manage to find a variety of food that is good for them" Mrs. Gleason replied, laughing ly. as she ushered me into the dining room. Pictures of sunbonnet babies made frieze around the walls, and little deserted white chairs were placed carefully around the low tables. where dozens of diners had sumptiously ban queted on butterbeans and buttermilk few hours before.
 GOOD FOOD
 "We had a more elaborate menu than that" assured Mrs. Gleason. "We try to give them a real dinner in the mid . dle of the day, because we serve only one meal. They have their breakfast and supper at home. Buttermilk sug- gested crowd of sleepy children in the afternoon.
 Not only the afternoon. They take maps at all hours Mrs. Gleason said The little white beds in the nursery in- vited maps and the dingy wall paper wasn't inviting enough to keep a happy cniG awake long, so we decided this was a good place to close one eyes for awhile nest any cay.
 q wish we could paper the whole house." Mrs. Gleason said. "I believe it would help the children to have q more attractive surrounding"

I found what Dr. Simpson had intimated-the nucleus for a splendid nefghborhood welfare work, that on ac- count of lack of adequate funds and equipment is confined now to the limited activities as a day nursery.

Instead of the proverbial. "Old woman who lived in a shoe" with so many children she didn't know what to do, Mrs. Elizabeth Gleason is a lovely young woman who lives in the North side Community House, with 45 chn- den, who, marching in line form stair steps from two years to ten years high.

 ."Such a soap-suddy splutterationi"
 Yes" smiled Mrs. Gleason, this is part of the days fun. When the chil- dren come in the morning, the first thing they do is to change their clothes for those rompers. and gingham aprons to have a comfortable play day But now you see they are getting ready to go out on the street when their moth CTS come to take them home, and oe

 CLEANLINESS
 They're learning to use their tooth brushes, and their own drinking cups beautifully" explained Mrs. Gleason That is due to Dr. R. l.. Houston. H has a regular dental clinic here, and is just as interested in giving his serv- ices to these children as to the finest patients in the land The children think it is great to sit in the big dental chair when he comes to see them
 And. of course, Dr. Snyder comes, too. He's always interested in keeping the babies well.''
 Oh yes" replied the foster mother, enthusiastically. And Dr. Myer comes, too very often.
 Just lots of people are good to the children" she added. Some of the church women have sewing classes,
