officer, said last night.
This, he said, is a substantial

Mrs. L. o. Ellis, director of the
Associated Charities, is out of the
city and will not return until Aug
ust l, Roebuck said, and this has
served to hold down the business
of the office to some extent. This
is due to the fact that the clients
who have been provided for
through the charities Office are not
yet using the stamp plan.
Gideon L. Bateman, who has or.
gained the plan here, has said
there is nothing unusual about the
number of clients calling at the
office here, and he, too, predicted

increase.

Spare yourself worry and en-

You can avoid monotony by also
writing down the gift each year.

The girl in the picture at the

wearing boxing gloves with her

the right idea.
Eastern college girls started the
trend this spring by raiding mems

The need for economy may come

seem to go on forever. So many
readers ask for another brides
cake recipe to be made at home,
that we give this exclusive recipe

It is not low-cost. No rich brides
cake can be, but when made at
home and iced with care, it will be
cheaper and just as lovely as one
ordered from a high class caterer.
This cake is unusual because the
top layer is made of fruit cake and
the two lower layers are made OF
rich pound cake.

But, as I said above-here's a new
one: the good people in Cokes-

together and offered a prize to the
Cokesbury farmer who could bring in
the tallest weed; can you beat it?
After all, there may be method in
their madness. I was reading an ar
ticle the other day concerning the way
one should take care of the fender
on ones car. The claim was made
that the fender was the car owners
best friend; that it saved many a
crash, and maybe, many a life, and
special care should be taken not to get
any dents in it. Of course, the point
is that, keep the dents out of your
tenders and you keep accidents away
from your trips.
So, this weed contest may look
back and see some ground cleared OF
the obnoxious plants which might not
otherwise been so treated. Or, may
be the farmers out Cokesbury way
may think the Government will issue
an edict to let the weeds alone and
pay the landholder for not pulling 'em
Very similar things have been done
But about this contest: the report
comes that one farmer brought in a
weed that measured 10 feet high, 11b
inches in diameter, two feet from the
roots. The farmer says he has "cer-
titled seeds" to sell of this luscious
growth.
Now, l don't know whether 1 would
have been eligible or not to compete,

respectable growth of weeds were
