Housewives have been limited to one and two-pound lots in sugar purchases. This is one of themf iv little sacrifices made necess iry by the war. A proas dispatch from the wine grape region of California inci dentally throws light on another source of waste of food stuffs by the liquor interests and also re veils the fact that Prohibition would not work any hardship on the grape growers. The an nouncement is made that the wine grape men this year are go ing to make their grapes into Bugar instead of wine. One ton of grapes will produce 400 pounds of sugar. The crop is estimated at 400,000 tons. This will in crease the sugar supply 160,000, 000 pounds, and it is said that the raw material will cost two and one-half cents a pound. The country will rejoice that the grape men have turned from wine to sugar. Pleasant Familj Gathering. In these war days, khaki suits and military titles so transform our boys that it becomes neces sary for us to have a formal in troduction to our closest friends. . Sergeant Samuel M. Irwin, now at Camp Meade, is probably bet ter known among the younger , set in McConnellsburg as Max Irwin; but, be that as it may, Sergeant Irwin obtained permis sion from his superiors to visit his brother Frank and family at Hagerstown last Sunday. Frank gave other members of the fam ily the tip, and on Sunday morn ing a big automobile left McCon nellsburg with Max's parents, Mr. and Mrs. John A. Irwin, his aunties, the Misses Flora, Maggie, and Ada Rexroth, and uncle George, and in Chambers burg, they added to their com pany Mrs. Jas. McFerren, and on they went to Frank's home in Hagerstown. There they met Max's sister Miss Mary, of Hood College Frederick, Md., who had taken advantage of the occasion to run up for a few hours. It is needless to say that the occasion yvu a very enjoyable one. . Soldier Dependents' Cosiplalo'.s. There have come a number of complaints to the undersigned concerning delinquencies in al lowance due wives and" parents of our soldier boys who left Ful ton County within the last few months. To such relatives of the soldiers, be it said that the addi tion of, perhaps, a million men to the military force of our coun try makes a vast increase of the clerical work of tha War Depart ment. Instances are not want ins where allowances, while long delayed, have come to hand, so, a little patience, needs be exer cised. Another complaint is, that' no word has come from certain of the Boldier boys for some time. This delay is probably due to the fact that part of our new army of drafted men and volunteers are now on their way to France. Several weeks may elapse be fore an opportunity will be af forded to our army boys to com municate with the home land. Letters to this department of the Red Cross will receive prompt at tention. When information is wanted concerning a soldier, or information to be forwarded to a soldier, friends must always give full address of latest received letter, thus; Private Samuel Jenkins, Company F, Regiment 134. Camp Lee, Va. Engineers Chauffer Aviation Corps, or oth er designation. W. C. Patterson, Chairman Civilian Relief, Mc Connellsburg Pa. Red Cross Chain. A method of arousing interest and Raising funds for the Red Cross has been taken up in Mc C6nnellsburg which bids fair to net a considerable sum if carried out. The plan as adopted, is for some lady to entertain ten ladies, for an afternoon or evening. Each lady entertained is required to donate fifty cents to the Red Cros3 and to obligate herself to entertain eight; each of the eight, to entertain six; each of the six, to entertain four, and each of the four to entertain two. Each person so entertained do nates fifty cents to the Red Cross. Refreshments served are to be very light consistingof notmore than three things. It is hoped by this means that a considerable Bum may be raised for the Red Cross work, and that interest may be aroused, and sup port given themovement through out the County. Mrs. Leslie W. Seylar will start the series by entertaining ten ladies Thursday afternoon of this week. The Cost Of Publishing. If the public has been inclined to feel that the publishers have been over emphasizing the ris ing cost of newspaper produc tion, the figures contained in Ayers Newspaper Annual and Directory just off the press should leave no doubt in their minds as to the truth of statements made about soaring prices of paper, ink, labor and equipment. The annual shows that approx imately 1,200 publications in the United States tnd uanada sus pended operations last year. The number included sixty-two dail ies, sixty semi-weeklies and 5G9 weeklies. While it is true that consolida tion accounts for some of the de crease in the number of papers, it is also true that only when they became money losing propositions did their owners consent to sell ing to competitors.
