the door of the kitchen and
stepped inside.
Sharlie did not have an oppor-
tunity to talk to Mr.. Collins un-
til late that night. Two seconds
after Dodie walked into the
kitchen the HanaberryS tele-
phoned and asked the Dunns
and Mr.. Collins to come across
the street to have a game of
poker with them.

Collins said when Dodie told
him about the invitation. And
he looked as if he were very,
very glad to get out of the flat.
He stood in the little entrance
hall while Dodie powdered her
nose and Sharlie'S father got
into his overcoat.
why don't you girls make
some sandwiches and things?"
Dodie asked, coming into the
kitchen where Sharlie and Edna
were at work once more. "And
I'll bring everybody over here
for supper along about seven."
The door of the flat closed
after her and the two men, and
Sharlie and Edna were left
alone.

The introduction of a new
special service to women is of
considerable interest during
these trying times. An entirely
new and very simple method of
transferring patterns has been
perfected, and now can be OBJ
tained by women anywhere.
Patch work, quilt patterns,
applique, cross-stitch, silhou-
cites, children's pictures of
objects they love, beautiful en-
broidery patterns in the most
comprehensive collection ever
made. Eight hundred new and
exclusive designs in one pack
age, also three alphabets-
Script, Old English and jap
anese. in three sizes of letters.
just select your design from
the collection, rub the bowl of
a tablespoon over the moist
ened surface, and like magic,
you have the design transferred
to your cloth, wood, paper, or
any surface you desire to dec
oraS2. So easy thC, even a child
can do it. and they love to
transfer the special children's
patterns to the leaves OF a scrap
book to be painted or colored
with crayons later.
Each pattern can be used IL
times, and the uses are so di-
verse, and the number so great
that it is not even exaggerating
to say the Wonder Package con-
tain a lifetime supply of pat
terms.

GRASS FOR RUGS AID TO FARMERS
Cranberry Raising Has Disappeared and New
 Trade Sprung Up

FaIun, Wis, (UP)-Cranberry raising, an industry that once brought $10o,OO0 annually to Bur- nett county, has disappeared, but in it's place has sprung up the bus- mess of raising wire grass for rugs, In the last 90 years of the 18th Century, more than 100000 acres of Burnett county lowlands were devoted to cranberry raising. The crop averaged 10000 barrels each year, and was valued at $100,000. However, the farmers in the vi- cinity killed the goose that laid their golden eggs. Seeking to im- prove their land, they constructed drains and built runways. The land dried out, and the cranberries dis appeared. It was too dry. Gradu- nily the land reverted to the county for back taxes. Later an effort was made to revive the industry, but 1t failed.
 Within the past few years, how
 ever, a new industry has sprung ,up, that a harvesting wire grass In the lowlands for manufacturing into rugs and baskets. The grass is to tough and of such a fine texture that 8 rug company of New York purchased 16,000 acres, and uses 'all the grass harvested for its mills. M only in few isolated spots can !cranberpies be found now. Where once they furnished employment for hundreds, and were a major in- dustry, they are now just a novelty.

Low Situation Along Ship- ping Route Causing
 Concern

Montreal - (UP) - A recom- mendation that tn Canadian gov- ernment appoint commission of engineers to investigate the low water situation along the St Law renee shipping route and report upon the remedial work which should be undetaken has been made to the marine department.
 The water level is causing the government concern. During the past month the levels have drop ped to the lowest point in 30 years. The readings in the harbor here in the middle of this month were only 27 feet, five inches. Many repre- sentations have been received from shipping interests regarding the in- ability of some vessels to load full cargoes here, owing to the water problem.
 Not only is the Montreal harbor concerned, but the marine depart ment also Is experiencing difficulty in securing sufficient water to op- crate the Lachine canal system.
 Shipping interests have suggest ed that the federal government erect compensatiing dam at Lake St Peter. Departmental engineers who are Investigating, however, ad- wise that commission of engi- neers should be appointed fully to investigate the different ren1- cdial works which may be feasible.

Recipients Reveal
 Meridas' Generosity
Stories of His PhanthrOpic Work Reviewed. Alleged
 to Have Cared for 300 Families

A Chief Two Moon different from the resplendent, publicity-seeking figure familiar to Waterburians stood revealed today as friends and beneficiaries of the deceased healer poured out stories of his philan- thropic and charitable work. The only condition he ever imposed, they agreed unanimously, was that any help he gave be kept secret.
 "If this city knew the extent and the amount of the chiefs charitable york;" said James Courtney, pro- prietor of market near Meridas' home and perhaps his closest friend, "Chief Two Moon would be revered as one of the greatest and kindest men the city has ever known" Many others expressed the same sentiment, as they related stories of how he had helped them and others. < +ira
 MT Courtney alone knew of more than 800 families in the city for whom Chief Two Moon bought food and clothing, paid rent, provided fuel and assisted in many other ways. The Chief provided funds for the complete maintenance of more than a dozen families for the past three years, donating every thing from food to clothing.
 Other stories of generosity were many and varied. An official of a Christmas dinner fund revealed that last year Chief Two Moon con- tributing $2,500, stipulating that his name should not be mentioned. A man who had been unemployed for two years told of the chief car- ing for his family and then getting him a job.
 A mother told of Two Moon ad- several hundred dollars to pay for an operation on a crippled child.
 Letters asking for assistance poured into the offices of Chief Two Moon and every request was looked into. In most cases a contribution was made, or else he sent the needy food and clothing. No reuuest was ever denied unleSs the

one applying. after investigation, was not found to be needy. Courtney was Two Moons agent in most of the charity, for the heal CT expressed dislike for being connected publicly with so much generosity. On more than one oc- casion, according to Courtney, Chief Two Moon said, You take care of this family, will you, Jim? See what they need and I'll advance the money, but don't mention me. Wa. terbury'll think I'm looking for free advertising"
 "What he spent in ten years for charity" said Courtney, twas so high in the thousands that 1t would make an unbelievable total. And that was just through me, and there were few others he worked through now and then. Rent, fuel, clothes, doctor bills-he paid for anything and everything he was asked to by the poor"
