CEILING PRICE
SET FOR BUTTER
State 0PA Announces That
Delaware Housewives Pay
No More Than 81 Cents
OTHER PRICES NAMED

Delaware housewives should pay
no more than 81 cents per pound
for the best grades of butter, the
OPA announced today. This new
ceiling price is the maximum re-
tail selling price for go and SO score
butter, packed in one-pound car
tons of quarter pound pieces. Prices
have been similarly set for cheaper
grades. At the same time, dollar
and cents ceiling prices were speci-
fled for butter sales at every stage
of distribution from the time it
leaves the creamery until its pur-
chase by the ultimate consumer.
This regulation will enable the OPA
to keep a closer check on black
markets than would otherwise be
possible. Highest retail store pric-
es for butter in Delaware are: U. S..
Grade AA (93 score) or us. Grade
A (92 score), 557 cents; us. Grade
b $50 score) or U. S. Grade c (S9
score), Sc cents; U. S. Cooking
Grade, 81 cents.
Rules For Farmers
Butter which is produced by a
farmer on his farm, from milk
which has also been produced on
his farm, is not cvered by this reg
ulation. However, under Maxi
mum Price Regulation 28O if the
farmer has sold more than $500
worth of farm products during the
previous month he must not sell his
farm butter at price above the
! highest he charged from Septem-
Der %, 1912 to October 2, 1912.
Butter sold by the half pound or
quarter pound must be figured to
the nearest even cent on the basis
of the pound price. If the fraction
al amount is one-half cent or more,
the dealer adjusts the price to the
next higher cent. If the fractional
amount is under one-half cent, the
price is set at the next lower cent.
Certain types of retail stores, es-
ipecially large super-markets, may
have lower maximum prices than
those given above. However, in
most cases ceiling prices will re-
main the same as previously, but in
some cases they may be actually
lowered as result of this regula-
ton.

BUDGET POINTS
in RATION BOOK
H. r. Bodley, Ration Board
Chairman, Suggests Curb
for Corresponding"
FOUR SHOPPING PERIODS

Simple point arithmetic" will
assist homemakers of Smyrna to
budget their family point allow
ances over the 81 days of March
under the processed food rationing
program, Harley R. Bodley, chair
man of the local War Price and
Rationing Board, said today. Mr..
Bodley pointed out that since point
values are necessarily high, it is
quite possible that unless caution is
exercised, some housewives might
unwittingly use up their 48 points
per person at a faster rate than
they realize.
Avoid cover Spending
The result of this lover spend
ing" he said, would be to create a
family Shortage" toward the end
of the month insofar as ability to
buy rationed foods is concerned.
This will be particularly true if
housewives budget their point
spending on the basis of four 7-day
weeks which would leave 3 full
days unaccounted for in March. 1t
is recognized, of course, that some
families, especially those who live
out of town, will wish to spend
their family point allotment for
two or three weeks, or even a
month ahead. In these cases the
problem then obviously will become
one of making the rationed foods
acquired last for the full ration
period.
4 Shopping Periods
To help those who wish to bud
get their point spending" evenly
over the full 81 days of March,
OPA divided the month into four
suggested shopping periods as fol
lows:
March 1 through 8 eight days.
March 9 through 16 eight days.
March II through % (seyen days.
March "a through 81 eight days.
This arrangement makes point
shopping weeks" begin, respective
ily, ON Monday, March 1; Tuesday
March 9; Wednesday, March III
and Wednesday, March "a = II
keeping with OPAs advice fol-
housewives to shop for rationeo
foods early in the week.
Points Used Evenly
! If the 48-point per person allot-
ment is used evenly over these per-
iods, the rate of spending in each
period by families of from two tc
eight persons works out in 12-point
multiples as follows:

Of things Jack had said, but she

things a doctor had said to her

Miss Leigh" the doctor had

"What?' she had exclaimed,

But not you women! Oh, no, you

The vesper sparrows are friends
of ours. They feast on injurious
insects. Indeed, they live on 80 per
cent Of insects and / per cent OF
fruit or green material. They are
clever at catching graSshoppers, and
they love beetles, cutworms, army
worms and other smooth caterpil-
lars.
These sparrows always place their
nest on the ground sunk in a slight
depression where it will not be seen
too easily. Usually, the pasture
meadows or along the roadside in
the brush will be the chosen build
ing site. The cradle will be rather
clumsy, thick trimmed but well
cupped. Dried grass, weed stalks
some strips of bark and fine grasses
will be used for the interior walls
There will be a hair mattress and
soft grass for the comfort of the
babies.
Four, perhaps six, eggs will be
laid. They are grayish- white, deco
rated with spots of burnt lumber
and chestnut brown. While his
mate is keeping the eggs warm, the
singer is not far away, and his very
sweetest songs are reserved for her

far-reaching effects on those who

Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Peter Rabbit is one of the most
kindhearted little people of the
Green Forest or the Green Meadows.
He is happy lucky and his dread
full curiosity is forever getting him
into all kinds of trouble. Perhaps
1t is because he has been in so many
scrapes himself that he always feels
sorry for others who get into trou-
Bile. Anyway, no sooner does Peter
hear OF some one in trouble than
he begins to wonder how he can
help them. So, just as soon as he
found out for himself that Sammy
Jay had told the truth about Chat
terer the Red Squirrel and that
Chatterer really was in a prison at
Farmer Browns house, he began to
think of some way. to help Chat
terer.
Now, of course, Peter didn't know
what kind Of prison Chatterer was
in. He remembered right away how
Prickly Porky the Porcupine had
gnaWed great hole in the box in
which Johnny Chuck's lost baby was
kept by Farmer Browns boy. Why
shouldn't Prickly Porky do as much
for Chatterer? He would go see
him at once. The trouble with
Peter is that he doesn't think of all
sides of question. He is i'm
pulsive; that Is. he goes right ahead
