Miss Mary floss, and her brother, Arthur floss and family. Mrs. Harve Shroll and her guest, Mrs. A. M. Wertzberger, of Tulsa, Oklahoma, spent the day in Fort Wayne. They called on Mrs. Howard Burdg while there. For several years the plan of selling eggs by the pound instead of by the dozen has been agitated among the Canadian grocers, and in some towns the system has already been put in practice. A trade journal which called upon a large number of dealers ’ for an expression of opinion of this point states that the weight of opin--1 ion was in favor of the movement. The only obstacle in the way of a unanimous indorsement of • the plan is that the "public has not been educated to buy in this way.” As refuting this objection, it is pointed out that in view of the wide variation m the size of eggs the consumer would quickly realize that the system offers a fair and just basis of charge. Chestnuts possibly but worth remembering: Buy thrift stamps. Write cheerfully to the soldiers. Be confident of final victory but double the speed and horse-power so that victory may come all the sooner. Remember that even garbage has real value these days and must not be thrown away. Collect the junk ami sell it and make careful use of the money. Build silos. Increase the acreage of wheat. Keep the new crofts in tight bins. Postpone construction jobs until after the war. Help to direct both common and skilled labor to the points where it can be concentrated on war worst. Do everything you can to make mtr fighting men comfortable, physically fit and self-respecting "Berlin via America.” the war picture out of the ordinary, will be . shown for the last time at the R x theater tonight. The picture stars Francis Ford, as a member of the secret service w'ho is sent out on a dangerous mission by his chief, and is told to prove disloyal to his country if necessary. He is branded >y his mother as a slacker, and while at his club he is asked to enlist; when he refuses, he is asked to resign. He calls on his sweetheart, and she hav- , ing heard of his actions turns him down. Still he is forced to rem tin quiet. His actions please some G >rI man agents, and they ask him to join their band. He consents, and is smuggled into Germany where he becomes an aviator. He is known as the “Dove” by the allies, because tie does no harm, learning of ;• big Hun offensive that is to take place, he fib's over the allies' line, and gives them the information

■ .. ■ — ■ ... -- ‘ Dr. Harry Barnard, our Indiana 1 1 Hoover. says that any one who helps ‘|the eanner to take earn of tin huge ‘ crop of tomatoes will be performing ' a real patriotic service. Tomato ‘ have away of ripening in a hurry and a lot of extra worker- are needed to * get the crop into the cans. A good 1 old "air-tight” of American tomato is one of the most prized essentials r among the boys at the front. There- ' fore, Dr. Barnard says, help out lie canners even if you don’t need the ■ wages. One of the great munition wo ks i 3 the Midlands ot England has a. hiev»ed remarkable ’success in th. cu’’i Jvation of the waste land s.ir I rounding the factory buildings and shells. This land, which s rcvi. ■r- ,. to the war would have been neglect - I t as waste and unsightly with refit-< J heaps, by means of in inlensie > tent of cultivation is producing great . quantities of potatoes and all kinds j of vegetables, which fully supply the ! requirement • of thousands of wor people. This season pig and poultrv ) rearing and breeding have widen.d s the scope of the scheme anil inimen < ly added to its food-producing value s One hundred acres are under eulti-. _> tion and it is expected that the |7 x tory wdll be entirely self-support'. s as regards vegetables As the em 1 ployees number about 12.000 people a great saving of foodsaufls is secur'd.

I day shopping in Fort Wayne. Mrs. M. E. Johnson and son spent , the day in Fort Wayne. There ar -two angles from which, to look at the war. We may decide that we are unfortunate to come upjn i a period ot heavy responsibilities and unusual sacrifices. Or, we may rejoice that we have been favored above i all other generations in having a - chance to j'id the world of cruel djs- ■ potism and establish decency, democ- • tacy and liberty as permanent assets. A total ot. 4iu»,3t>:: Hoosiers, about i ”0 per cent of the population, sub- . s-iibed to the Third Liberty Loan. The tverago subscription was $174. Only 11 per cent of the total populaI tion subscribed to the second loan. . The fourth loan is on the way. You I can seo it coming down the road. Bury your excuses behind the wood- . shed and have your war profits tied up in neat bundles when the call i comes. Can Indiana make it 25 per . cent this time?
