one piece paper cups can be used for
salads. pickles. olives, etc. and for
mayunnaiSc dressings. Just cover the
top with piece of wax paper and
slip n rubber band over it TO keep it
in place. and it can be packed and car
ricd without spilling.
Cup custards and individual puddings
and cakes may be baked in these cups
and then lifted into the lunch kit. Take
n half pint jar Of mayonnaise dressing.
II will keep for two weeks and may
be- changed into many varieties to pre-
vent monotony.
Chop olives (two) fine and then add
to two tablespoons of mayonnaisc for
olive mayonnaise.
Add to mayonnaise:
One tablespoon Of grated onion,
One tablespoon Of finely minced pdrs-
leg,
ono olire. minced fine.
For tartar sauce.
Oranges may be pared and divided
into scgments. then wrapped in wax
paper and placed in the. paper cups for
easy transportation. A package OF
crackers and n glass of jelly will pro-
vide an extra bit il desired. 1t is easy to
prepare individual potpie, goulashcs and
baked beans at home for the luncheon
for the workers. If these dishes are set
in shallow pnsteboard box it may
be laid upon the radiator to heat for
the noon meal. and they will not appear
unsightly in the office.
To use paper cups for cooking food
for the Office grease the cups we'll with
salad oil and then stand in earthen or
glass custard cups. Fill with the de-
sired food and then bake in moderate
oven. Remove from oven and let cool.
Slip the paper cup, when cold, into
a second paper cup. 1t is then ready
to pack.
The entire luncheon may be packed
the evening before and set in q cool
place. ready to carry of the next morn
ing.
European business men have their cup
Of tea or coffee served about II O'Clock
in the morning and 3:3O in the after
noon. This they enjoy just as much as
we do our fountain Concoctions.

TNHE children's voices could be heard
l. distinctly as they played and pre-
tended.
"Now I must drive up in my car"
said one of them, "and I must say.
Would you like to 60 for a rider and
you must get in"
There was a murmur from the other,
and then the clear voice of the first was
heard mimicking his elders. "Why, how
do you do? Would you like to 60 for
ride?"
Another murmur. suggesting cmbar-
rassed acceptance on the part of the
guest.
Don't get in that way" cried the
host, forgetting. his grown up tones.
'"rhat's the hood-here's the step over
here. Now don't scratch the paint
where would you like to go?"
The soft voice of the guest was lost
in the general laughter Of the grown
ups who were listening.

them, that they have to grow up and
leave all their lovely make believe be-
hind ~
DUT they don't have to leave 1t !.
- They take it right along with them.
OF course it grows up as they do;

it very easy to make believe that she is
walking modestly up a church aisle
clinging to her fathers arm, slightly
pale, but extremely lovely. trailing soft
ivory satin and tullc with few
touches of orange blossoms-and the
best looking man off the screen or stage
waiting at the altar.

spenls most of his time pretending ;
sometimes he is a man of the world,
sophisticated, just n bit bored; often
he prefers the carefree, vagabond char
acter, well dressed, Of course, but very
picturesque.
No, indeed, they don't have to leave
their land of make believe when they
grow up.

American Red Cross Fights Typhus
Washington, March 15.-Typhus.
the disease which has recently made
Its appearance in New York, is being
fought today by the American Red
Cross in one Of its original strong
holds. Poland, with hospital trains
consisting of ten cars each The hos
pital trains prove an exceptional ef-
fective weapon against the epidemic
which is reaping toll of thousands Of
lives among the Poles in the districts
devastated by the soviet armies in the
summer campaigns.
Many thousands Of typhus cases are
found in the small villages and isolat-
cd farm cottages, far from any hos
pital. and proper medical attention is
an imposSibility. The five trains
which arc operated throughout the
isolated districts Of Eastern Poland
were fitted up as means of carrying
on relief work which was abandon
ed while the bolShcvist drive was un-
der way.
The trains have specific sections in
which they operate and are often
away from their base of supplies as
lonS aS tWo llonlnS AT time.
The work is mostly confined to
small villages, for here are found the
most needy cases. When the train
reaches a village, it is side-tracked
and thorough inspection Of the sec
tion is made and all cases of illness
are given immediate treatment.
One car of each train is equipped
as an operating room. another for
dressings and examinations. The
other cars include living quarters for
the doctors and nurses and about
four cars are loaded with relief sup
plies.

What Are You Going To Do?

what are we going to do about
selling cotton? Do you have the
date or time fixed in your mind when
You will part with the feecy staple
that you produced in 1920? The mer-
chants are selling their goods for
less than cost. and great many peo-
pie are saying that the farmer should
sell some of his cotton regardless OF
the cost Of production. 1 have a
time fixed in my mind when 1 may
sell some Of my cotton and / shall
no think of selling it sooner unless I
am forced to sell. 1t is true that the
merchants are selling their goods re-
gardless Of the original cost to them,
but they are guided by what they
can replace the goods in fixing their
price to the consumer. When the
price of all the things used in pro-
ducinG cotton reach the point where
can produce cotton for the price L
can get for my cotton with a small
profit, then ] shall sell some or all OF
my cotton. The cost of food stuffs
and hardware md almost everything
that enters into the growing Of a cot
ton crop is about double the pre-war
prices. The price OF cotton should be
today, to be in line with everything
else, moro than double what IL is 1t
would be foolish from a business
standpoint to sell cotton for present
prices and go on producing moro
cotton to sell for less than the cost
of production. It would not only be
the ruin of the farmer but a few
crops produced and sold below the
cost of production would paralyze
the business ind dustries of the south.
If the present price of cotton remains
for any length Of time and the cost
of implements and supplies remain
where they are, it would not surprise
along the Sapiro plan of controlling
the commodity, by selling all Of the
cotton by a cooperative plan which
would not permit a sale below the
cost of production. The tobacco grow
ers are making some headway organ
lzing along these lines. and three OF
tho southern cotton states are doing
some work along that line. If this
cooperative movement can control
production, and only furnish cotton
for which there is an actual demand.
pray that the movement may soon
spread over the entire south, and that
it may be able to deal with the Eng
lish spinners. who told us a year ago
that lit would be q calamity for the
south to produce less than q four
teen million bale crop" Now they
tell us that we ought to give our cot
ton away because we did not nave
any more sense than to try to pro-
duce all of the cotton that we could
and that we have produced enough
cotton to last for two years.
l have never been one OF those
who tried to advise anyone when to
sell his cotton, hut 1 do believe that
for anyone to sell cotton below the
cost that he can produce another
crop is committing financial suicide.

Columbia, March 22.-An unusuo,
situation exists in the game denart.
ment of the state, according TO renort
submitted by the office of State Rarl,
Examiner Craig, to Governor Cooner

approximately nine thousand dollars
have not been all accounted for. AND
Chief State Game Warden A. A. Rich
ardson has called all the chief wardons
to come to Columbia for a conference
to furnish information regarding the
license not accounted for.
MIR. Richardson has requested the
wardens to appear in Columbia at the
rate or eight day. beginning on the
10Th, and It will require q full week
to confer with all Of the county war
dens. After the records have been
checked with these wardcns, who are
responsible for game department
funds in the counties exact where
abouts of the unaccounted for licenses
will probably be determined, it -
stated.
Mr.. Richardson states he has not
taken over the records of the game
department and will not be able tn do
SO until he has gone over matt ers
with the county wardens There IL q
great deal Of compiexity about the

Pending this checking OF the affairs
Of the office Mr.. Richardson is maxi
ing no contracts with county wardens
There are. it is said. some misunder-
standings in various parts of the
state rs to commissions Of wardens,

wedding out Of wardens will have -
be made in order to straighten out
the situation. There are said to be
possibly more wardens than neces-
sary.

The Bureau OF Mines has built 9

the University Of Illinois is located
and is conducting experiments to de-
termine the best method OF moving
the required amount Of air through
the tunnel.
a number Of Yale Unive rsity stud

made by the Bureau ct Pittsburgh. to
determine the amount Of air neces.

A final check on all experiments
will be made at the BrucetOn, Pa,
Experimental station, where an oval
