HIS MIDDLE INITIAL IS w.

You don't often see it in full
but the right name of the elder
lv gentleman we all know so
well is Uncle w. Sam.
What does the initial letter
stand for!
Oh, that's because his full
name is Uncle Waste Sam. His
middle name is Waste.
There is no doubt about it.
You see it everywhere. Most
countries would pretty nearly
live on the things we waste.
We waste more than $50, 600,

much of which is left on the
tables. Most of the costly food
that is thus left behind, goes
into the garbage can. Which
means that the diners wasted
huge sums of money in the ag-
grcgate, and caused great
waste of precious food.
1t is a rare thing not to find
waste in American industry.
Go to almost any oil well and
note how much oil flows away.
Visit almost any factory and

For afternoon frocks they have an impor- tance only rivaled by their prestige in coat styles. and all sorts of things are happening to them; In shape they are endlessly varied in materials they are, more often than otherwise, differ ent from the bodice. and nothing IS too unusual or elaborate for their dec oration in clothes for formal wear.
 In all-day dresses designers follow the lead of the afternoon frock in em- phasizing sleeves and panels-but with the moderation that beflts garments designed for utility. These two style points are evident in the pretty frock shown in the illustration.

WHEN YOU KNOW A FELLOW.

When you get to know fellow, know his joys and cares,
 When you've come to understand him and the burdens that he bears, When you've learned the fight he's making and the troubles in his way, Then you find that he is different than you thought him yesterday. You find his faults are trivial and there's not so much to blame In the brother that you jeered at when you only knew his name. You are quick to see the blemish in the distant neighbours style, You can point to all his errors and may sheer at him the while, And your prejudices fatten and your hates more violent grow, As you talk about the failures of the man you did not know; But, when drawn little closer and your hands and shoulders touch, You find the traits you hated really don't amount to much. When next you start in sneering and your phrases turn to blame, Know more of him your censure than his business and his name, For it's likely that acquaintance would your prejudice dispel And you'd really come to like him if you knew him very well. When you get to know fellow and you understand his ways, Then his faults will matter little, for you'll find lot to praise.

 you have shed; If you think some praise is due him, now's the time to slip 1t to him. For he cannot read his tombstone when he's dead More than fame and more than mon ey IS the comment kind and sunny, And the hearty, warm approval of a friend; For it gives to life a savor, makes you richer, stronger, braver, Gives you heart, and hope, and cour- age to the end, If he earns your praise, bestow it, if you like him let him know it; Let the word of true encouragement be said Do not wait till life IS oyer au1 he underneath the clover. For he cannot read his tombstone when he's dead.

ALLEGED SLAYER
 CONTINUES SILENT

George Flake, who is held in the county jail for the murder of Wallace Wilson in Cypress township, is to- tai loss as a conversationalist, accord ing to Deputy Sheriff J. l. Summers. Flake since he was brought to jail has not broken complete silence, so far as the officer knows. The pris- oner's only communication with the jailer is in the form of affirmative and negative mods of the head and he never utters a word, Mir. Summers said. Flakes appetite, however, is good, according to the officer, and his general health is apparently perfect.
 It is probably that no effort will be made to secure bail for Flake, one of his attorneys said today, and he will be allowed to remain in jail until his case is brought before the grand jury which convenes here the second Monday next January.

 State Normal has also a stretch of hard work before Colemans men from Clarksville invade the local field. Coach Dan Estes will do everything possible to whip the Teachers into shape, and the Mountaineers are by no means certain of easy prey.
