Bread and Newspapers Oliver Wendell Holmes. We must have something to eat and the papers to read. Everything else we can give up. If we live in a small way, there are at least new dresses and bonnets and everyday luxuries which we can dispense with. If the young zouave of the family looks smart. in his new uniform, its respectable head is content, though he himself grow seedy as a car-away-umbel late in the season. He will cheerfully calm the perturbed nap of his old beaver by patient brushing in place of buying a new one, if only the lieutenant's jaunty cap is what it should be. We all take a pride in sharing the epidemic economy of the time. Only bread and the newspaper we must have, whatever else we do without.

What an abundance of,

truth in the sage's

opinion !

Bread and newspapers are the necessities of

life. We are hungry if we miss them. We starve physically and intellectually, if they are denied us permanently. Our system craves for both of them. We may almost say that our lives depend

upon them.

We do not appreciate how newspapers contri

bute to our happiness until they fail to reach us for a few days. Then we discover that we cannot get along without them. Robinson Crusoe was not

cut off from the world more effectively than the

modern man is if he cannot buy his newspaper. The newspaper has such a hold on us that we

cannot g6 to bed until we have read the events of

the last twenty-four hours. If our paper is late in arriving, we telephone to the office to find out the cause of the delay. In a republic that guarantees a free and an uninspired press, a newspaper is a prime necessity. It is the medium by which our habits of thought and our opinions are formed. It gives us the facts on which we base our opposition to or our support of men and issues. That is one reason why the American people opposed a censorship law that would have permitted officials in Washington to control the press. , . The government itself depends upon the newspapers for the publication of information necessary for the national existence. The food campaign, the Red Cross propaganda and the selec

tive conscription law, were given such generous and constructive publicity by the press that their success was assured. Facts and information of paramount importance to our national interest are given to the press by the government for dissemination throughout the country. Officials know that people read the newspapers, that they are necessities of life, that one hundred million people can be reached every day. Hence, they use this medium to scatter information which otherwise would not reach the masses for weeks and weeks.

been prepared showing why it is necessary to have meatless Tuesdays and Fridays, wheatless Wednesdays, porkless Saturdays and an absolute abandonment of the use of bacon. -Horace Ellis, 'state superintendent of public instruction, has endorsed the innovation. Prominent school men in the state are co-operating. We believe the surest and best way of teaching food conservation to the American people is through the schools. Children will learn priceless lessons of food economy that will be reflected in their careers when they become adults. They will bring home the reasons for conservation to many parents who have not been reached by the press or influenced by the appeals of patriotic men and women. The example of a child in refusing to eat prohibited food on days set apart for its conservation will be a spur inciting parents to quit the practice and a lesson in general food economy. The conservation propaganda of the last six months will be reflected in the men and women of the next generation. The lessons inculcated during the war period will change the whole method of our living. Extravagant and wasteful use of foods, characteristic of the present generation, will give way to a wise and judicious selection of foodstuffs based on their nutritive values. The schools can contribute much to the national welfare by teaching household science.

Teachers can do a patriotic service by instructing the boys and girls how "they may live comfortably and happily without wasting and squandering. It is gratifying to note that the school authorities are not overlooking the vital principles involved in the food conservation problem.

Indiana Retail Delivery

From Indianapolis News.

HE central delivery system now being so widely-

adopted by merchants is not altogether new in Indiana, as a bulletin, issued by the extension divis

ion of Indiana university 1 demonstrates. Angola established such a delivery system in 1906 with two stores at the start. Last year nine stores were in the system and the number of wagons had been reduced from nine to three. Auburn has the system with twelve stores in it. Four wagons are utilized. Decatur has twelve stores in the system and has cut its number of delivery wagons from twelve to five. Elwood. with fourteen stores reduced its deliverey wagons from seventeen to seven, and the secretary of the Chamber of Commerce there says that his city has the lowest cost of living of any city in Indiana. Tipton started with three firms, but last year had increased the number to eleven. Rochester, with

twelve firms, reduced the number of wagons from twelve to three. Rushville, with fifteen firms and nineteen horses and seventeen men employed under the old system reduced the horses. to nine and the men to nine. ' Emporia, Kas., gives a striking example of how the

delivery force is reduced by the centra! system;" Em

poria started with twelve firms and now has double that

number. But while the number of firms has been doubled the number of men engaged has been reduced from

thirty-six to eighteen. There formerly were thirty-six wagons and thirty-seven horses and this number was cut

to fourteen wagons and one truck. Nearly all of these central delivery systems are privately owned although in

several cities, stock companies have been formed to conduct them. Ann Arbor, Mich., has a stock company plan in which the merchants invested $5,500 at the rate of $10 a share. Five deliveries are made daily and seventeen

wagons are used where seventy would be needed under

the old plan of individual delivery. Stockholders in the company, naturally, obtain their deliveries at a slightly lower cost than those who have nothing invested, but the company makes deliveries for any merchant in the city. Walter S. Bittner, who wrote the bulletin, says that if the merchants go together and conduct a common delivery system they are likely to work in harmony in other projects and that the central system often is but the forerunner of greater co-operation for the common good of the community.

THE MEN WHO CAME BACK (Copyrighted By British-Canadian Recruiting Mission.)

By LIEUT. T. L. C. WILLIAMS Of the 28th Canadian Infantry. (Lieutenant Williams wears two wound stripes on his sleeve and has been given the Military Cross by King George for having led the raid on a German trench and dugout at Ypres, in which the Germans were all killed or taken prisoners. Lieutenant Williams was so bady bayonetted that it was necessary to amputate both legs at the hips. Both arms were wounded and a bayonet was thrust through his right arm in which he also carries scraps of a Mills hand grenade. Lieut. Williams is now serving in the British-

Canadian Recruiting Mission Head quarters.)

I can swim and walk and drive my

car, and I don't give a whoop about th leps I lost. I had bad luck. Lost

both my logs and was wounded in both arras. Have a bayonet wound through

one arm. but if I had to do it over

asaln, I'd go back and do the Eame

thing.

I can't say er.ougb to express my

gratitude to Jhe doctors and nurses

over there. The treatment from the

time a fellow is picked up wounded

until he is discharged from the hos

pital is simply magnificent. He lacks

nothing. And I know, because my op

eration was serious. Most men don't live through the sort of thing I went

through. This is the story as, supplied by a comrade: Lieutenant Williams called down into a dugout,' a large one." Everything was silent. -He led his men down; the place was full of Germans. When our men went away with the prisoners they did not know where the Lieutenant was and he fought on, desperately wounded and alone. They came back a little later and carried him on their backs for a mile and a half, the trench being too narrow to pet a stretcher in. After that he was taken sight or nine milos in a fiold ;

ambulance car to the nearest casualty clearing station where his legs were amputated. As soon as he was able he was moved to a hospital in London where he spent seven months. He came back to his home where he has a large wheat farm at Minnesota Manitoba, Canada, last April. He is back there now.

I farmer. "If it wasn't for them you

could see the scenery clear to the county eat." Mrs. Brown stood in the doorway of her suburban home and eyed the tramp critically. "Are you willing to work for a meal?" she asked at last. The tramp extended his hands expansively as though work was the one thing in life he hankered after, and his apparent sincerity overcame Mrs. Brown's last scruple. She retired into the house, and presently returned carrying a large plate of food and a businesslike looking hoe. When the tramp had eaten the food she handed him the hoe, and, point

ing toward the garden path, remarked : "Now, I want you to clean out that

AN ACCIDENT AVOIDED HOW MADGE EXPLAINED THE PSYCHOLOGY OF "BEING GUIDED" ACROSS THE STREET "Is this Mrs. Graham?" "Yes; Mrs. Smith?" "Yes." . . I flashed a joyous glance at Dicky. Our outing was safe, as far as this telephone message had power to dipturb it. After my experience with Mrs. Smith I knew no request of hers would have any effect upon any plan of mine. "Pardon me for calling you up so early," the smooth tones of Mrs. Smith went on, "but I wanted to be sure of catching you in. My masseuse telephoned me late last night that she would be unable to give me my hour today, and I wanted to reach you before you made any other engagement. Will our original appointment be al! right?" "I am very sorry" I used the conventional phrase without thinking until I saw Dicky's wide grin "but my husband and I are just taking the train for a long day in the country, and it will be impossible for me to get back in time to meet you." "Oh, dear!" To my astonishment the smooth tones took on a tinge of

impatience. "I have some unexpected engagements for the rest of the week. Wouldn't it be possible for you to get

back, say 4, or half-after? Then we could have our appointment today after all." I was so amazed at her effrontery that I could scarcely gather my wits together to answer her. She had broken a business appointment ' with

me for a visit from her masseuse. The fact that I had insisted upon keeping the appointment before I heard from her had almost brought on a serious quarrel between Dicky and myself. Now that her masseuse had disappointed her she calmly expected me to give up part of my day to suit her whim. There was a patronizing note in her voice which I resented. It was almost as if she were speaking to a prospective employe. "It will be absolutely impossible for me to do as you request." I purposely made my tone deliberate and cold. "You will pardon me for hurrying away now. I am afraid I will miss

my train. I will call you up when I return. Goodby." I heard a shocked, protesting "Goodby" as I hung up the receiver. Evidently Mrs. Smith was accustomed to having other women accommodate themselves to her whims. I felt a rapidly growing dislike to her. But overshadowing everything else was an unholy joy at having paid her back for the unpleasantness she had caused me. "Was the old girl peeved?" Dicky asked as we walked down the street, with the early crispness of the morning air filling our lungs and stimulating our nerves. "I gather her dear masseuse or chiropodist fell down and

she was trying to ring you in as sec-

ond fiddle."

"You are eminently correct, in your

deductions, however puzzling your

language, I returned, mischievously. "I know, it's wrong, but I am so glad to have had the chance to get. even with her for all the unpleasantness she

caused me.". . ..

"It gives just the right kind of

fillip to the day's enjoyment, eh? That

is a good feminine feeling, isn't it?"

Of course a man never enjoys get

ting back at anybody," I returned,

spiritedly.'

"Sure. Nothing like winning a good

knock-down fight to give a man an appetite. You can't start any argument with me on that question. Great morning, isn't it?" ...... ' "Indeed it is," I returned, glad of "any excuse for getting away from the subject of Mrs. Smith. "It must be splendid in the country." "Just wait till you get there," Dicky rejoined in the manner of a barker describing the virtues of a side show attraction.

We are both rapid walkers, and it 1 seemed no time at all until we reached

the imposing station of the Pennsylvania road. "Come on this way," Dicky grasped my arm, and started across Seventh avenue, along which street to the taxi entrance a bewildering procession of automobiles was rushing. But I hung back, pulling on Dicky's

arm. As I did so, an auto horn sounded right behind us. Dicky jumped forward, pulling me with him by main force, and the auto glided past, missing us only by an inch or bo. I did not realize the danger we had been in until we reached the curb on the corner of Thirty-third street and Seventh avenue. Dicky had rushed me across the road with such a tight grip on my arm that the flesh felt bruised. "Dicky!" I gasped. "Please let my arm go. You are hurting me terribly." To be continued
