Women'i Stamp Booth,

Reports at the committee meeting of i the Local Council of Women's Clubs, held Tuesday afternoon at the Chamber of Commerce, developed the fact Mhat the plans for the campaign for the sale of Thrift and War Savings t! Stamps were going forward with a rush. Mrs. U. O. Cox, together with

Mre. Carney Chess and Mrs. Robert 4 E. Lee, have enlisted the aid of the members of tl.e different clubs. To date but few of them have promised their assistance. The initial meetings |of the Federated clubs have not as yet been held, and the officers are in many :instance absent from the city, which 'occasions this lack of response. Those clubs which have signified their cooperation in the drive are the Council iof Jewish Women. The Athaeneum, s Equal Franchise league. Hawthorne club and the Edgewood Woman's club. iMiss Hilda Nicholson, chairman of the 4|., committee on music for the drive, has procured a ukelele orchestra and will .jt endeavor the have the chorous of ft'i f&mp Fire Girls King and a demonstration from the Hoy Scouts for the two Saturday evenings of the campaign. Booths will bp arranged in the :downtown district vj^der the supervision of the women.

LIMITED SERVICE MEK TO SERVE AS CLERKS

Army Men'In Uniform To Perform Clerical Work For Exemption Boards.

Local conscription boards are to have real soldiers for clerks. A war department order just issued provides for the induction of limited service registrants to entrain for Ft. Benjamin Harrison on September 7th. One clerk each may be used for each of the three boards for clerical work at state headquarters, local and district exemption boards and medical advisory boards. The recompense provided for those who qualify is quite alluring too, to those who are not mechanics, but merely school educated. The pay as a private would be $30 per month. Then there are various other allowances which would bring it up to $87.50 per month. These clerks will be assigned to local boards upon the application of board members, one clerk to each board.

That was the threat he always held over her. Anything that contributed to his discomfort or inconvenience was met with the menacing, "hard day tomorrow."

To keep fiim awake "when he had "a »iard day tomorrow," was the height of feminine selfishness. That was the implication he never failed to convey, and the one before which Helen was always abjectly contrite.

On her left side, her arm cramped under her, she lay rigidly still—her mind worrying on. She, too, had a "hard day tomorrow"—the day of anticipated discords. A number of unpleasant duties augmented, bar dread of the morning.

Above all she feared a clash with the maid. It was the day for cleaning the dining room. The work was so arranged that every room had a thorough cleaning once a month. The dining room being the easiest, the hall and hall closet went with It.

For some reason Nora had a deeprooted aversion to cleaning that closet. I^ast month, wanting things to run smooth, as they were having company the next day, Helen had discreetly overlooked the fact that the closet had not been touched. But tomorrow she was determined it should be thoroughly cleaned. Nora was becoming entirely too slack about the work.

A twinge In her carmped arm. Cautiously, not to disturb Warren's now even breathing, she drew it from under her. If only she could get to sleep! She tried counting a hundred backwards, but could not hold her mind to that effort beyond the forties.

She must speak about the bread! Nora would cut more than was neces

SEVEH-YEMD LOCUSTS DOE IN 1919

Six teen-Year-Old Grabs Are Working Thei| Way Out of Soil Now, Says Clinetell.

Next year la seventeen-year locust year in Indiana, warns County Agent Clinebell.

Careful records made by trained observers in all parts of the country during the past thirty years have proved that there are more than twenty well marked broods of this insect which make their appearance at different times and in different localities of the United States. There is seldom a year in which the seventeenyear locust may not be found in some part of the country.

The largest and most important of these broods oovers practically all of Indiana and spreads over into neighboring states. This brood last appeared in 1902 and consequently it will be due for its next appearance in 1919.

The pupae or grub-Tike yourtg are now sixteen years old and,are already working their way toward the surface the ground. Next year fhey will be ready to complete their change ir:to winged insects and will come out of the ground the latter part of next May. The newly emerged locusts climb the nearest convenient object where they cling while the pupal skin splits open along the back and adult locust comes forth. The life of the mature insect lasts several weeks, which the males occupy in ^"singing," while the voiceless females lay from 300 to 600 eggs in the young twigs of shrubs and trees. The eggs are laid in ragged cuts made in the twigs, causing many of the small branches to die later in the season. The eggs hatch in about six weeks and the young locusts descend to the ground where they burrow beneath the surface to spend the succeeding years of their long underground life.

Mr. Clineb«T! said thjtt many experiments had proved that vegetation and trees effected by the locusts can be protected by a lime-sulphur mixture diluted to summer strength. Apple trees, oaks and hickories and many kinds of v»prft,ition are attacked.

A SLEEPLESS NIGHT MAKES HELEN REALIZE THE FUTILE WASTE OF BROODING WORRY.

"Here, stop that thrashing about'" growled Warren. "How tiie deuce d'you expect me to sleep?* "Am I restless, dear?" apologetically, drawing further away. "Restless?" with a yawning snort. "You've been squirming around there for the last hour."

They had been In bed hardly 20 minutes, but Helen did not dispute this inaccuracy. To keep Warren awake was a grievous offense. Whatever her wakefulness, he must have his sleep— the importance o£ that was deeply implanted. "What fool thing you worrying about now?" "Why, nothing," untruthfully. "Well, stop it and go to sleep!" leaving her almost coverless as he rolled over, drawing the bed clothes with him. "I've got a. hard day tomorrow."

sary. The bread box was always full of stale slices. She was extravagant with the ice, too—she would not keep the ice box shut.

When would they fix that bathroom shower? It had been bver a week since she reported it. She made fower demands on the superintendent than any of the other tenants—yet everyone else seemed to get better service. If that shower was not fixed tomorrow— she would report it to the agent.

A single chime from the library clock. Was it one or half-past? Would she never get to sleep? If she could only stop worrying.

That waist from the cleaner"*! She must call up about that the first thing in the morning. She had said distinctly not to clean it if they could not take out those spots. They had cleaned it—but not feazed the spots.

And the milk bill—another rankling vexation. Last month she had twice ordered an extra half pint of cream, and both times they had charged for a pint. She had written that if they continued to make such mistakes she would have to cancel her order—and they had ignored the letter.

A cloud of other worries drifted vaguely through her mind. It was so hard to find a reasonable cabinetmaker. but that chair with the broken arm must be fixed. And that lock on the bookcase—*

The swish of running water from the bath room. Was Warren up— without waking her? Dizzily, she blinked at the strip of sunlight that barred the bed.

Instinctively her hand pressed lier forehead. Across her eyes and at the base of her neck was a dull, depressing ache.

The sound of Warren's atropplng razor rasped her nerves. Jiecollingly, she cuddled back under the covers. Never had it seemed so hard to get up. It took all her will power to force herself out of bed.

For the first morning In weeks she ofhltted her exercises. She felt too wretched, she could not goad her aching muscles through their usual tortuous stretches.

In spite of her effort to dress quickly, Warren was finishing his cereal when Bhe went to the table. "You look rotten—liko you'd been on a bat," was his cheerful comment. "What's the matter? Didn't sleep?" **Oh. I thought I'd never

ANNUAL CONFERENCE TO BEGIN SEPT. 24

Northwest Division of Indiana Methodism To Convene In Terre Haute For Week's Session.

The sixty-seventh session of the Northwest Indiana conference of the Methodist Episcopal church will open in this city Tuesday evening, Sept. 24, and will continue through the following Monday. Services will be held each day from 8:30 o'clock in the morning until 10 o'clock in the evening. The final details of the program are now being completed, and these programs probably will be ready for distribution the first of the coming week.

Bishop Francis J. McConnell, former president of DePauw university, will preside at the conference. The first evening will be given over to a reception for the ministerial delegates, of which about 250 will be present. A short address of welcome will be given by Mayor Charles R. Hunter In behalf of the city, and by Rev. W. G. Rice for the united Terre Haute methodism. The response will be made by Rev. Salem B. Towne, financial secretary of DePauw university, and a former pastor of the Centenary M. XX. church, of this city.

One of the lecture features of the conference will be a series of three addresses by Bishop McConnell on "International Conditions." There will also be a series of four lectures on "The Social Relations of the Church to Its Task," delivered by Rev. Worth M. Tippy, of New York City, a former pastor of the Centenary M. E. church. On Friday evening of conference week there will be a lecture by Rev. M. S. Rice, of Detroit, conceded as one of, and possibly the most, forceful speakers on methodism in the country.

Visiting ministers will supply 1n all of the pulpits of the city on conference Sunday.

Katraed hy V. 8. Weitkcr Barets.

Good rains of last week benefited corn in most sections east of the Mississippi river and from the central Missouri valley northward bat from

the

lower Missouri valley and central plains southward, the crop made little improvement, and the conditon continues poor. However, there Is this exception that good progress was maue by the late corn in portions of Arkansas and Louisiana. Corn is maturing rapidly, and the bulk of the crop will be safe from frost damage by Sept. 15 or 20. Catting for fodder and ensilage is progressing northward to Maryland, Missouri and central Nebraska.

Thrashing small graini made rapid progress and yields continue satisfactory. Rains preatly benefited soil preparation. Seeding is progressing over most, of the principal wheat belt and in the eastern states. The workis being pushed with many reports of increased acreage. The rains were very beneficial to potatoes, truck, pastures and meadows in practically all of the central and eastern states, but more rain is needed in the southwest

THE WORLD IS MOVING FAST KEEP UP WITH THE TIMES

Another Old Idea Sent to the Junk Heap

Who ever thought ten years ago that millions of American working Men and Women would some day be owners of Gorernment bonds? s

The safest investment on earth.

A new idea did IT.

How docs it happen that these millions of people own millions at dollars' worth of bonds?

Did it so quickly that old conservative, stuck in the mud bankers and leaders of finance in their respective communities were amazed —almost dumbfounded.

Men who had been giving advice for years on how to float bonds, sell stock and invest money, suddenly found that they didn't know how to sell bonds to the millions of patriotic working peoples [who were anxious to own .some they were up a tree,

Suddenly on the scene appears a man who couldn't tell a Liberty bond from a marriage certificate.

"Easiest thing in the world," said this unfinanctal chump-

"Offer bond far $1.00 down md let the people pey for them oat of their earnings, $i.oo week or more, just as they choose*''

In a minute the great question was solved—the unfinaneial chump was hailed as one of the brilliant and newer leaders of finance and now plays solitaire every evening with a bunch of bonds big enough to .start a paper mill. .•

And if you are an intimate friend of the nnfinancial elramp h« will probably confide in you that the reason he is so well informed on the $i.oo Down proposition is this:

"I've, been buying my Clothes tit Menter's thet way for year*."

»It doesn't really matter what the unfinaneial chump would say. We are done with him in this story. Good luck to him—let us leave him counting his bonds,

Menter made the $1.00 Down idea famous.

And made it honestly famous by coupling with it these words that mean something.

But the world is changing fast. It has ever been the Menter policy to keep ahead of the times.

So here is Mentfer's fie# idea. j,t.

It is the old $i.oo Down idea brought up to fit these high-priced times.

We believe the people will appreciate this new idet—this easy way of buying clothes.

Hereafter Menter's terms on $30 purchase will be $2.00 Down and $2.00 a Week.

On a $15 purchase the terms wit! remain the siffl£, $1.00 Down and $1.00 a Week.

And for those who want 40 or 50 dollars' worth of Clothes the most genexous terms will be cheerfully arranged.

mWe

The subsequent payments are small and can be paid weekly, every two weeks or monthly, as you get paid.

We cordially invite all who are considering the problem of clothes to pay this store a visit* You don't need anyone' to introduce you—you don't need to bring a bundle of references.

Simply choose the garments you want—-jay I want to open an account and you can depend upon it— You will receive just as courteous attention as if you laid down the cash.

These are the days when all good Americans can beat aid our country and the cause of Freedom by being content.

All must make sacrifices for the commond good.

"Let us all do the best we can—we can do no more/*

"Reflect upon your present blessings,, of which everv man has many not on your misfortunes, of which all men have some."

You are welcome at Menter's. Courteous treatment awaits yoti.

Bo As We Advertise," fits these chang

ing times perhaps better than ever and we will continue to us it— and practice it.

Everyone knows that the price of everything we eat, drink and wear has advanced during the past two years.

The prices may and may not go higher that is a question for each individual to determine for himself.

The Menter company owns and operates 38 stores in 38 cities in which stylish, reliable clothing for men and women is sold.

Out advice this season is to buy clothes early.

Understand, we are not urging you to do 30—we advise you— that's all.

Thousands of people in this city must of necessity hare bills to pay for fuel and food and other tilings—bills that are hard to meet.

The extra problem of clothing yourself and family is one to be well considered*

In considering this problem, Menter -eait sorely help you, btcause you can get the choicest clothes ia the land here and the first payment secures the clothes.
