The February Farm and Fireside savs: “Have you some long, strong sunflower stalks? If so, save and store them carefully and use next year for bean poles. They work well.

Do the job now or else begin on its renovation.” Prizes to be paid in War-Savings cer tificates will be awarded by the South’Bend Watch Company to the team of I men or women employes which sells I the most Thrift and War-Savings Stamps during the coming year.

I Total stocks of wool in the United States were about 562 million pounds on December 31. 1917, according to tire third quarterly wool stock report issued today by the Bureau of Markets, j United States Department of Agriculture. The previous report showed total holdings on September 30. of approximately 636 million pounds. In gathering the figures for the wool report. schedules were mailed to 1165 i firms, which included 656 manufacI turjers and 509 dealers. Reports were received from all but two dealers and seven manufacturers. There were 1-1-95 dealers and 67 manufacturers who reported no stocks of wool on hand. Mr. F. R. Lobdell, Chairman Red- ' wopd county, Minnesota, War-Savings Cohimlttee has a splendid suggestion. He has figured that if every child in Redwood county saves 25 cents a month during 1918 that the total from I this source alone will be $16,800. It 'costs $211.00 to feed, clothe and equip one soldier for one year. The amount, the children in that county would raise would, therefore, feed, clothe, and equip eighty men. As this is considerably less than the number of soldiers and drafted men that will have gone from that county during 1918, it has been suggested that the children set their mark at a sum UsuTficienT tenake (are of all men who. go from Redwood county.

In the new and growing city it was sometimes difficult to get and keep a maid. At such a time Mr. Lincoln would help freely In the kitchen. Ou coining from his office he would take off bis coat, put on a large blue apron, and do whatever was needed. At such times the family used sometimes to eat in the kitchen. Happening in. my mother was once invited to share a kitchen luncheon, and vividly remembers Mr. Lincoln’s large figure against the kitchen wall. To him the matter of food was always one of comparative indifference. When called to meals he came when he was ready, and seemed never just ready to come. Mr. Lincoln was not a garden man. and my mother does not recall ever seeing a hoe or a tool in his hand, except once when he was sawing wood in the back yard.—From “Lincoln as a Neighbor” by Philip W. Ayres, in the American Review of Reviews for February, 1918. A man who has made a million dollars in farming says in the February Farm and Fireside: “The average hired man of today is a conundrum to me. I can’t understand him. Farm labor is the highest priced unskilled labor in the world. I figure that a man who is paid SSO a month on our place is getting SIOO. counting rent, fuel, chickens, and so on. Almost everything that lie eats is raised on the place and costs him nothing. The average man in town earns $2.50 or $3.00 a day and doesn’t have work every day. He must pay for every bit of food he eats. How much better off, therefore, the farm hand is! What we need is a revival of the good old-fashioned ideas that a man must work and save, that energy, ambition, and nerve are what make men rich, and nothing else. Work [and save, work and save—that’s the i I'Udlesß chain that takes you to suc--1 cess.”

THE CAR SITUATION We have word direct from the Ford Motor Co. to the effect that deliveries on cars are going to be even worse than they had anticipated. The government has taken over three of their plants entirely and others are turning ouf so much war material—that production on cars will be materially decreased. The government has decided to let all automobile and truck factories run, but most of them will also carry war orders, so the total output of cars will be only about 60 to 70 per cent normal While there will be more money in circulation and more actual need for cars and trucks than ever before the available cars will be a great deal less, and there never has been enough of all makes put together to go around. 11 you waul a Lord, wake up and order il. Even now il will lake several weeks Io gel il. Il' you are intel esled give us a call and we will explain the silualion more thoroughly. Remember lhal some of our customers had Io wail ten weeks last spring for their cars and conditions will be worse this year.
