the pendulum swings back and cot

designs for Sc types OF full-fash-
Toned hose have been released to
manufacturers. Several of these
designs will be manufactured for
over-the-counter sales in the near
future. They were developed as
part of an effort to stimulate
greater use Of surplus American
cotton.
Women have long been willing,
even eager, to wear cotton stock
ings, both on patriotic principle
and because such hose usually
wear better and are not given to
sudden runs. But cotton stockings

Ninety years ago Hanson Greg
DRY, of Camden. Maine, a schooner
captain and culinary dabbler. was
credited with being the man who
first put the hole in the doughnut.
He was honored posthumously
with doughnut festival by the
Maine Hotel Mems Association at
its annual spring meeting
Quite seriously. Harold Sever
ance, association president, re-
lates how Gregory once lost six
men overheard after they had
eaten soggy doughnuts of the
holeless variety. The holeless
doughnut made them sink ito the
bottom like plummets before a
rescue could be made" Worried
by the lethal nature of the holeless
doughnut, Gregory began expert
menting, according to Severance,
and fashioned his model after
life preserver, punching the hole
in piece of dough with a Delay
ing pin. Thus the modern dough
nut was born.
Not only will the hole allow the
fat to encircle the doughnut and
cook it thoroughly but it gives the
coffee bunker a better grip. No
announcement was made by the
Hotel Mems Association whether
was permitted at the
spring doughnut festival.

ReUelGtiOn
BY Gordon Pratt Baker

Once, in the days of early spring,
found a bird with broken wing
That filled the air with frightened
cries
For strength to span the rain
washed skies.
With tender touch soothed his
breast
And gently took him home to rest.
When summer came / set tim free
And watched him fly to liberty.
Sometimes beneath my heavy yoke
| feel my spirits wing is broke,
And cry aloud in deep despair
For strength that / my burden
bear.
And then, against my trembling
breast,
/ feel His tender fingers pressed
And know that /, with mended
wing,
Shall fly to greet Eternal Spring.

Some years ago a move spread
over the country to hold Old
Home Week celebra tons. When
the idea was novel. many former
residents We're induced to come
back to revisit former scenes.
Some individuals look at the
places where they grew up or
spent many years with some con-
tempt. They used to say those
old burgs were "One horse places"
and they wanted no more of them
never wanted to see them again,
nor set eyes on anyone who lived
there.
If people have done their part
in the life of a community they
should have some real friends
there. whom they would wish to
see again as the years pass. If a
person has made no friends in a
town and never wants to see it
again, it is sign that he has con-
tributed little to the place.
In many places celebrations of
this nature are mostly business
events, method for attracting
trade and drawing in visitors. 1t
is desirable plan, which enlarges
business and promotes progress.
People should always want to
celebrate an Old Home Week of
their own as often as possible 1t
is good to go back to the old
scenes, and to show old friends
they are not forgotten. The peo-
pie who cherish old friends and
old scenes promute new friend
ships wherever they go.

it needs quarters adequate to
carry on its work. 1t must have a
sufficient number of sales people
and clerks to serve the customers
and to keep correct accounts.
Business authorities agree that
for most concerns, some form of
advertising is also essential. If
people are asked to buy certain
business, they should ask if it is
we'll advertised, if the public knows
about it. if the impression has been
created in its business sphere that
it is giving good service.
An enterprise has an uncertain
future in these times unless it is
widely known and favorably
thought of. 1t takes many years to
build up such an impression by
any method other than newspaper
advertising.
