Most of his fimily woreprUoo'ers of the ena my in Germany and Austria and coulnVt get out to help in the world war, and tie was more than eager to go for he knew bow bad ly he was Deeded abroad by the Allies 3i d the people in tho war countries. , But all the same he did worry a bit about the way tilings would go to America in his absence Youlsee, in civil life before thy war, bo'd dhou in the "Sweets" business. His chief line was candy, with cake and pudding branches. "Whatever," said lo to Lis CT-miuitiding (flicor, "will the folks do without, mc? Tnsy de pcrd on me so I'ma family pet." ' YiU lire.' was the reply, '"but ypur duty is p'.am. You must go to tLo aid of the Allies. Mean while we must try to tiud sub stitutes to carry on your busi ness. We'll look out iorsucli as aren't so wull titled for overseas service and they can do ttieir t it at borne. So, Captuu Sugar, youVe not to worry." "I shan't worry." said Captain Sugar, "but I have a personal basinoss, and I fear folks won't want to givo tljoir coulidcnco to strangers." "Loave it to m3." rcp'ied his ch'ff, reassuringly'. "Well since you're no. sure, just as a favor, savi a little cor ucr for mo when I come home aga.ii'," j Kod Cuptiiu Sugar. So hw wailed across tho sea and his commanding otlicor, wtio had had his wits working bmily, set about rounding up helpers to carry on Captain Sugar's busi ness. One of Ilia first chaps be thought of for the j jo was Mr. Corn. "Seems as if tho ones that are doii:g tho most already a:e always the first ones asked to do fcnmeihing extra," said Mr. Corn with a cheerful grin reaching from ear to t ar. "I've beon do lr g a lot of C.iloncl Wheat's work since he's been in the service llowtver, you may count on mo. Certainly it's up to mo to bo pat iioticv for I'm an American to my very roots." "And what's the special stunt I'm to do? 1 ' Your jb," sad his chief. v ill bo to form the Corn Sirup Association aud take charge of the' Cake Frosting business, with tli Pudding Scooting brauch " Good," said Mr. Corn, I'll orjy that Maybe I can even put one over on Captain Sugar," sud ho winked kuow.igly. "Theie.s a firm up iu Vermont ought to help me out right now," sud tho General to himself us ho finished his sucessful interview with Mr. C n il. I'll just wire the Maple Brothers Wouldn't woader if they know enough about tho sweetening business alrcadyto be valuable " "To Maplo Brothers, Sugar J till, Vermont. C in you lend your services in the 'Sweets' business for duraliou of warV LiKNKkal Food EiisoriiCES, ho telegraphed. The auswor came back at once: "To General Food Resources Washington, J. C, Will be giad to help out in 'Sweets' business Entire re sources ot Mapb Sirup and Sugar Association at your com mand. Maple Pkos." ltsoemod a good idea to Jet tho Maplo Brothers and Mr. Corn j 'in forces to a certain ex tent ia the Cake Frosting and Puddi.ig Sweotniug branches, as thoy had ulready beon ac quiiutances i,n the Pancake Club and knew something about the same line of work. With Mr. Corn ar.d the Maple Brothers enlisted in the war tha General kit that a good be ginning had boon made, but ho knew that ha must widou his corps of workers, bo by post plane ho commuuicated with the Busy Hue Company. They eo thosnistica'Jy agreed to give tho pot vices of Miss Honey, their m 'st efficient employee. "You'll find Miss Honey a great htlp iu the 'Sweets' busi ness," thoy wrote from Clover tieH, Ohio, "She's an expert." Tiie General immediately planned to make her an assist ant in the Dassert Department. "I neod n good head for that, department. I believe 1 can get Miss Mol.issea to fid the pl.ca: as sh.Vs a relative of Captaiu Sugar, sua ought to be lnterested." Sure enough, she was proud to como up from the south and takotbejtb. She was full of splendid Ideas about ginger bread and Indian pudding and Brown Betty and made some good suggestions which were Uhod in tho Candy Department. .Miss Moiassos's Scotch kisses were divine, so everybody said, and she,and Potor Popcorn came to some kind of an understand ing which was looked on kindly by tho General and was immense ly euj yed by the children. Of course evtjryb dy coopera ted in the Candy Department, Mr Corn through his Sirup As sociation, tho M&pla Brothers through their Sirup and Sugar Association, and Miss Honey in countless ingenious ways of her own. But still moro aid was needed, so tho Gflneral called for volun teers. Then came forward Mr. Prune, Mr. Date, Mr. Fig, Mr. Nut and all his family, the pretty Fruit girls aud even old lady Ginger "Grandmother Ginger," tho rest called her. Madame Chocolate was director, and Mr. Nut made himself use ful everywhere. He and Mr. Prune, Mr. Date and Mr. Fig ofton got together for tho boue tit of the businoss. So well did these candy volun teers succeed that tbe keepers of all can ay shops begged them to take front stats In thow win dows, and little girls and boyh going by would pull at their mothers' sleeves and say, "Pieaso buy us some stuffed dates or peanut balls. And every young lady shopper with a sweet tooth would ruu into the canuy shop and buy nut aud fig caramels, stuffed p. uues or chocolate almoads. "Gettiug along without you hnely," caoled General Food lie sources to Captain Sugar, "so stick on oer their till the las. gun is fired " Aud that's what Ciptain Sugar is doing! Wheat and Rye Conference. Plans for carrying out the wheat and rye planting program of the United States Department of Agriculture for 1918-19 in the Central West were considered at a conference of officials of the department and State represen tatives, held in Chicago, July 25 and 2G. State agricultural col lege extension directors and wheat specialists from 10 States were present. These States Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Mich iganhave been asked by the department to plant a little more than 27,000,000 acres of winter wheat or practically three-fifths of the acreage suggested as a minimum for the entire United States. Every State representa tive at the conference felt confi dent that the minimum acreage allotment for his State could and would be planted, and that if conditions continued favorable the maximum acreage suggested by the department might be reached. Compelled Men. The world is full of men who are compelled to do what they do. Sometimes it comes of an inherent weakness of foul, which often is the result of wroug choices early in life, or, porhaps moro frequently, of a weak will which is incapable of choosing the higher thing, or of sticking to a choosing, after it is made. Peter made a wise choice; but he was frightened out of it by tho word of a serving maid. A boy goes from home with good ideas not his own, but derived from the teachings aud the at mosphere of the home in which ho has lived. It is an anxious time when he first goes away from home. Is there a real pur pose in his own soul to drive hiai? Or will he follow the first strong influence he meets? Con gregatioualist. Sale Regiser. .
