perhaps might feel more interested in
than in the young women Of the family
where you are visiting.
Remember that it is just as i'm
pOrtant and necessary for the young
man to write bread-and-butter letter
to his hostess as 1t Is for a young
woman to do. This letter should be
written within one or two days Of your
departure. A married man may leave
this to his wife to attend to but the
unmarried man must write for him.

sister who has been guest Of the

her note.

CTRICTLY speaking the invitation
y bidding young man to be the
guest of household should come
from the mother or wife, or whoever
acts as hostess Of that household.
Actually one young man often invites
q chum of his to be a guest for a
day or two, and the mother does not
send the letter of invitation that the
strictest good form would demand.
There is no great crime in this, only
the young man who writes the invita-
tion should word it so as to make 1t
evident that his mother extends the
hospitality, and In answering the in
yitation the one invited should be sure
to bear this fact in mind andswhether
he has met the hostess-to-be or not
he should express his gratitude to her
for her kindness In wishing him to be
q guest

KITTENS NEW HAT.

KTISS KITTEN could hardly wait
Nl for Sunday, so proud was she
Of her new hat, and she was
quite sure she would not only be en-
wed by all the other Pussies, but she
would also be the handsomest Puss
at church.
Miss Kitten had been working a
long time collecting the trimmings for
her hat and I am sorry to tell you
that 1t was trimmed with wings and
feathers.
Yes, Miss Kitten was not a friend
Of the pretty little bird that lived
near her home and she had feathers

ANNAPOLIS. Md, May 21.-The
Methodist Episcopal Church has large
plans for the work OF that denomina-
tion In Annapolis in connection with
tho work among the midshipmen and
other naval people, many OF whom
come from families attached to that
branch.
The church in,rHeneral proposed to
appropriate $4,000 to assist in the
erection of a building for devotional
and recreational work. and to make
possible a more distinct church work
among naval people. 1t is regarded
as important that the inAuence of
Methodism be maintained among
those disposed toward II, and 1t is
felt that a work can be done through
naval people which will have an in

HOLD ; YOUNG MEN
ON Staying CHARGE
Bail Is Refused Defendants Ac-
cused of Completely in Death
of Musician.

CLARkSBURG. w. Va, May 21.-
Bail was refused Paul Rousch. How
ard Crummitt. Arthur Vannort and
James Belts. charged with killing
Wheeler Sanders. musician Of
Keyser. when application was made
this week before Judge John c.
Southern by attorneys for the de-
tense. Fred Waldo, one of the quin-
tet arrested at the time Sanders
was found in a dying condition on
one of the main streets of the city
one day last week, was released at
the preliminary hearing, but the
other young men must await the
action of criminal court which opens
here June 7.
The Staying of Sanders has stirred
the city as has no other case of
similar nature In years. Testimony
at the inquest and hearing showed
the keyser man was in company
with the fve young men at a local
hotel. Following a night of revelry.
the defendants say. he engaged in
wrestling match with them. This
followed a game OF dice and the
drinking of quart of whiskey,
they say.
In one OF the wrestling matches
Sanders, il is said. threw Rousch, who
is a star basketball player and a
former college athlete. Witnesses
say this angered Rousch, who at
tackled Sanders on the street after the
party had broken up at the hotel. The
young athlete admits striking the
man with his fists but contends that
the death of Sanders could not have
resulted from these blows. The dying
man was found lying in the street
beside an ice truck. and it is said the
defense will attempt to show that
Sanders was struck on the head by
one of the wheels of the auto. When
Sanders clothing was searched a
purse containing nearly 500 was
found.

At least $4,000 persons eat pie
every day. These pie eaters get
their slices of the commodity from
%, 900 pies which are baked in
Washington each day.
And listen to this:
The scent pie will never return
again"
This statement, coming from AL
bert Schulteis, president of the Con-
necticut -Copperthite Pie Company Is
a sad blow for this pie is famous
throughout America.
Mr.. Schulteis says the cost of la
Dor and the various pie ingredients
will never get back to the pre-war
figures which enabled the bakers TO
make small nickel pies.
An announcement of utmost I'M
portance was made by the pie COM
panies today. Cherries, heretofore
used in cocktails, will be used in
pies.
CITY's PIE BILL GIGANTIC.
It's hard to imagine. but do you
know that each and every year
Washington eats nearly 100000
pies Just think of this many pies.
cut into five pieces and the pieces
piled on one on top of the other. If
this could be done pies would be
piled more than 10000 feet high. or
in better terms, just eighty times
as high as the Washington Monu-
ment.
Then take the daily pie output.
Pile these together and they would
reach 500 feet above the monument.
For a city the size of Washington
the money the people spend for pi1s
is enormous. The pie bill runs easily
close to $1.000.00o each and every
year.
Washington, according to pie COM
pany officials. is far ahead of many
other cities in the pie industry. In
this city two standard sizes of pies
are sold. One size. eight inches IN
diameter. sells for 20 cents and th'
other size. 10 inches In diameter, sells
for 40 cents.
APPLE is FAvORTTE.
Then about Washington's favori'e
pie.
The prize in this case goes to the
apple. No other pie is so much IN
demand. 1t is wanted in the winter,
summer. fall and spring.
Berry times. of course, brings
down the apple pie sale. but MT
much. Berries are favorites wien
many washingtonisns, but the vast
majority stick to the old ld-fashionei
apple.
Chicago. according to latest reports,
is eating $4,000 pies every day New
York $4,000 and Philadelphia, $4,000.

gether more than 1000 900, 600 pies are

Strong for Home Paper


NO, / don't take the local paper
any more" one farmer said to an
other as they were waiting at the
creamery to unload their milk.
They had just been looking at a
poster advertising Subscribe for Your
Home Town Paper Week. November
7-12.' Il take a daily paper, and
that's about all / need. 1t has a few
items every week from our cOmmu-
nifty. and | feel that | save two dol
lars a year by not subscribing to the
home paper
"NNell, that's II way to look at it, J"
said the other farmer. "but I've always
felt hat a local newspaper was a
pretty valuable asset to any commu-
nifty, and if everybody took the atti-
tude you do, there couldn't be any To-
cal newspaper. OF course we could
not get along without u daily papers,
because they keep US informed about
what's going on throughout the ma
tion and throughout the world, but
when you say that they take care of
our local news. l don't think you are
sticking close to facts. They simply
can't, and the publishers haven't any
personal interest in our community
the way our editor has.
81 have always felt hat | got value
received for every dollar I've paid out
in subscriptions to the local paper. and
| don't have an idea that running a
country newspaper is any more Of a
wealth-producing proposition than run
ming a farm. SO long as I've got two
dollars / intend that the rural mail
carrier is going TO tuck a copy of the
home paper in my box every week"
That farmer knows that the COM
munity newspaper is a necessity in
his home; that without 1t his home
would be incomplete and his part in
the community would be unsatisfactory
to himself and his family. He knows
the full value of the local newspaper
