were enough pop and pickles,

the flower arrangement of ragged

seen in some time.
1t seemed appropriate to have
this home filled with beautiful
flowers, for in the past Mrs. Chas.

fleet her skill and pleasure in
raising flowers and arranging
them.
Miss Rebecca Leaman, president

MONTGOMERY SIDELIGHTS
BIZ ELSIE WHITE HAINES-

Perhaps never before in history
have the phrases Il can't do it,"
''It can't be done," II don't know
how to do it" been so overworked
as today when so many jobs are
being done by persons who have
no training for them, little apti-
tude and general attitude of
putting in time" A great help on
any job is a gallant attitude
if We think thing can be done !:
that it will be fun doing itCit is
already half done.
Most of us are familiar with the
little games that help children
through small chores-why not
apply some of them toward our
own work? "Gordy" was thinning
corn on Saturday (at two dollars a
day for a ten-year-old, imagine
that! our lawn stood high and
unshorn on Sunday. Each time a
member of the family passed that
way or had minute to spare, he
or she took the mower for a quick
turn or two around the yard and
soon it was all done. Wasn't it
fun? asked the man of the house.
Well, it was, rather, though the
lawn did look a little patchy.
We have had fun housecleaning
this year, too, on the one day q
week that we can spare for such
work. We resolved to do a thor
ough job and turn out every box
and chest drawer. The progress has
been slow, as we have found such
interesting things-some of them
forgotten for years. In an old
Muncaster mill ledger we found o
letter that may prove of interest
to you all. Perhaps someone would
like to compare the figures with
today's prices. We quote:
"Dear Mr.. White:
/ have made a copy of the en-
closed, thinking it might prove of
interest. The Federal Trade Com
mission will vouch for these sta
tistics. What do you think of it?
Respectfully,
JOHN p. RUPERT.
TWO WAYS TO LOOK AT 1T
"0ne day early in May, 1917, the
general merchant Of small Kan
sas town showed farmer buggy,
priced at $4,000, and the farmer
kicked because twenty years ago
his father had bought one just like
it for $4,000.
"The merchant looked up the sale
and found that the father had
turned in as payment for the
$4,000 buggy 120 bushels of wheat.

Ruth Bondy
Now In Italy

Ruth Bondy, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Robert E. Bondy, of
Fairfax Lane, Edgemoore, was
just another Red Cross Girl to
some of the boys of the Fifth
Army in Italy. She was one of the
four that made doughnuts and
handed them out and did anything
she could to help the spirits of the
boys. She worked all day and
danced all night, but one day she
ceased to be just another of the
four saying goodbye to a truck
load Of boys bound for the front.
A Chevy Chase boy happened to be
member of that truck and heard
her mention that she was from
Washington. That boy was Private
Edward L. Bowie, Heavy Weapons
Battalion, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Pleasanton Bowie of Leland
street. He smiled and said:
"That's funny, I'm from Washing
ton too." "Ted" found that she
was sister of Bob Bondy, star Of
his football team at st. Adams
School, from which they both
graduated last year. Ruth told all
about Bob being in the South
Pacific, and how worried her par
ents were because she was in such
dangerous zone, even though her
father is The Mr.. Bondy of the
American Red Cross and is over
seas himself.
Just talking to Ruth Bo dy
made Ted's spirits soar as he
drove off into "No Mans Land
and he wrote all about it to his
parents recently.
Ted's mother is Red Cross
Gray Lady who puts in many
hours at the Bethesda Naval Hos
pital.

rhubarb preserves and a supply
was left with the club to be used
in the near future.

The merchant then told the son to
deliver him 12O bushels of wheat
and he would give him:
One $4,000 Buggy
One 1900 Wagon

One 5000 Planter
One 10000 victrola
One $500 Watch

refreshing on that day to have the
hostess ask the group at once to
come into her lovely dining room,
where punch and tea cakes were
served by Mrs. Thrift, Mrs. Henley
and Mrs. Poole, hostesses.
Mrs. Sherling Bowman had a
very clever recreation feature for
the closing feature of the day.
Two new members, Mrs. Jennings
Bailey, Jr., and Mrs. Maprice
Manchester, joined the club that

The discussion was on canning
equipment. The group gathered in
the big kitchen and the Home

two-piece, yellow jacket dress
made from feed sacks. Miss Ber-

THAT, folks, is exactly what we would be
doing in this country if we ever voted for

made careful study of the problem, report
that only about so of those who drink

THE real answer is education and better

the distilling industry are working con-
stantly toward that end. They don't want
anybody to abuse the use Of their product
