Provide Seven Extra Loaves of Bread for Every American. By adopting cleaner threshing meth ods and by literally combing harvest field3 to gather grain formerly wast ed, threshermen and farmers of the United States this year saved fully 10,000,000 bushels of wheat, estimated as equivalent to about seven one-pound loaves of bread for every person in the country. This result, accompanied by corresponding savings of barley, oats, rye and other grains, is shown by reports from 33 grain states to the U. S. Food Administration. Other states. ists in the multitudinous questions J to be dealt with. Among them will be men of high rank, prepared to participate in uiscussions that will take place outside of the formal conference and in position below only the accredited delegates,, who, it is assumed, will take ambassador ial rank. The exact time of the president's sailing, for Europe apparently still is unknown to anyone except the pres ident himself. He is expected to leave the day after he addresses the new session of congress, beginning Monday, and the address usually is delivered the second day of the ses-ssiyn.

This rural food saving achievement, accomplished In scarcely six month" time, was In direct response to re quests by the Food Administration, which asked farmers and threshermen to reduce harvest losses from about 31 per cent. the estimated average in normal times to the lowest possi ble minimum. Country grain thresh ing committees carried Into every grain growing community the official recommendations for accomplishing the results desired. In numerous instances drivers of racks with leaky bottoms were sent from the fields to repair their equip ment and frequently bad order thresh ing machines were stopped until the cause of waste was removed. But In proportion to the number of persons engaged In gathering the nation's grain crop, cases of compulsion were com paratively rare. The Food Adminis tration freely attributes the success of the grain threshing campaign to pa triotic service by farmers, thresher men and their crews. Incidentally grain growers of the United States are many millions of dollars "In pocket" as a result of the gram saved. RETURNS TO HOME IN ST. JOE.

Can you use a pretty new Blouse, and do you want to save money? If you can answer both of these questions affirmatively, then you ought to be on hand here to morrow to take advantage of the splendid savings opportunity offered by the sale of these new, worthy, winsome models. For this Holiday Season we have arranged for a service on Silk Waists, with the World's greatest Blouse makers, which will bring to us constantly the New Styles just as soon as they are evolved, and values that will be truly matchless. To resolve now to buy all your silk Bluses here is to resolve to exercise real, genuine, worth-while savings. The superior silks out cf which these Blouses are made were contracted for some months ago, at prices radically under their cost today; not a single cent of selling expense is included in their cost to us; large savings were effected in their manufac ture, due to the fact that the self-same models were produced for one leading store in nearly every city of consequence throughout the entire Country. And all of these savings are savings for you. The Blouses are all made up to an exceptionally high quality standard that knoivs no compromise. In addition to the excel lence of the fabrics and trimmings, the workmanship is of the highest order, and they are cut on full generous lines so as to be true to size and insure perfect fitting JUST A LIMITED QUANTITY, AND NO MORE OF THE SAME STYLES WILL BE OBTAINABLE. 4207 Early buying recommended of these sensible, styleful Christmas Blouses.
