It did not hare an exclamation point after It when the city editor said It In fact It slid out with as little disturbance or perturbation as a spark runs through a fuse to the dynamite charge.) Beer Not Acceptable. ; There are four reporters employed In the office In which this act took place. One was late to work, so only three made haste to volunteer not to take the assignment. This minor detail was decided with two short straws and a long one, the holder of the long one was the vlcttm. "One thinR that has not gone up in price lately," kindly continued the rlty editor to the victim. "To the consumer, I mean." ' "Oh! Well, that's easy. Beer." "No, something that we all use. Something that we must have." The city editor Is a tolerant gentleman. "Red Cross seals." "No, none of that press agent stuff goes either. Now anyone knows there Is nothing funny about high prices, i Young Man is Hardened. And everybody knows it is a grim sort of humor that makes a serious man accept orders to write humorous stories about tragic subjects, the victim being furrowed of brow, though yet young, hardened of spirit and chastened with a rapid current of blue inll mark a
Furthermore, every thinking person knows that there is nothing that has not gone up in price that most people need. ' Besides and furthermore, there are so many other things which would be
humorous without humorous trestr ment, that the assignment is a rank In

Morton Park's financial difficulty, John Thompson paying an election bet by rolling a peanut up Main street anything about politics, especially about the candidates for mayor, and 99-44 per cent of society's philander-

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind- Nov. 17. Newspaper publishers and print paper dealers here are hopeful today that great good will come from the campaign launched by Charles A. Greathouse, state superintendent of public instruction, to enlist the aid of school children in conserving the print paper supply of the state. There is an enormous amount of paper used In public schools which usually finally goes into the waste basket and then into the fire. . By showing children that they can make money not only by saving this paper and by gathering up the paper around their homes, a large amount of paper can be turned back to manufacturers to- be used- again In making some class of paper. The plan, it is

BAVIS SCENTS
Continued from page One the company's gas supply notably the artificial gas plant. "Strange the way ' Providence provides for those who find favor," remarked President Bavis of the board of public works, today. "Just when the question of used and useful properties, actually used and useful in the service of the public, becomes an important factor in the gas appeal case, then this shortage of gas arrives, making it necessary to use the artificial plant to aid and assist in keeping the supply sufficient to meet the demand to aid and defeat the city In Its appeal. - " "The company Is not fooling the public half as much as it is fooling itself," Bavis continued. "The idea is a clever one, nevertheless. If the company's statemetn is true that the pressure is reduced one-half then the consumers are paying $1.40 per 1,000 cubic feet based on the heat unit per cubic foot under normal pressure, instead of 70 cents as the rate is supposed to be. The value of gas Is conditioned on pressure and where the pressure is not maintained the consumer pays for more than he gets."

A thorough examination, however, would be made at once, they said, to determine the exact damage. -' Captain Koenig of the Deutschland appeared pale and r shaken as he stepped ashore from his vessel on its return. He refused to talk about the collision and immediately sent word to Vice President Hilken of the Eastern Forwarding company, who arrived at the company's , offices shortly afterward and went into consultation with him. . Blame Steering Gear In the absence of authoritative information, considerable speculation as to the cause of the accident was current Among shipping men the opinion was expressed that the steering gear of the submersible may have been at fault causing her to run squarely into the convoying tug. The fact that the tusr sank almost immpfliatplv after
being struck was taken to indicate that
tne mow must nave been a powerful one and to have come with unexpected suddenness. Captain Hinch returned to port on board the Deutschland. .
believed, also, will increase thrift among children. It has been pointed out: that the newspaper publisher is one of the chief sufferers of the war, and yet he has been the most 'reluctant to increase prices either to subscribers or advertisers, doing so only when conditions and sound business practice make it absolutely necessary. . Not only has the price of paper increased in many Instances 125 per cent but metal, ink and other things that enter into the making of a daily newspaper have increased. The war has enabled many papers to increase their circulation, but the cost of gathering war news
has been so enormous .that this increase is discounted. , ... ... . ;

You can cut your table expense almost in half by home-baking. You can save money and serve the folks better food. There are no "ifs" about this way of lowering your cost of living. ... White flour foods cost far less two to ten times cheaper, in nutritive value, than other staple foods. The saving is not merely that home-baking costs about half good homebaking tastes so much better that folks eat more of it and hence eat less of costlier foods.
Fo r best H o m e - ba lei n g Valier's Enterprise Flour should be your "standby." Its superfine quality (never varying)is duetowTurkey Red Hard wheat, milled by a slow process that saves all the baking quality; then sifted thru silk to make its texture extra fine. Valier's Enterprise Flour is as fine for cake and pastry, as for bread, and finer for all baking than ordinary flours. Guaranteed to make more baking per sack and better baking than any ordinary four. Order it from your grocer.
Vegetables etc. from white flour! Home baking not only saves money on bread, cake and pastry; but vegetables, soups etc., can be made from white flour. Our little leaflet shows many of the best recipes. Write us for one.
