CONSERVATION TO BE KEYNOTE FOR NEXT YEAR Large Task Faces Americans in Face of Great Crops, Is Opinion of State Food Administrator. "The new wheat regulations, put ting the entire allied world on a par ity in the use of this commodity, is typical democracy and are the last proof that the allies have - pooled everything to win the war," says Gur don W. Wattles, federal food admin istrator for Nebraska, yesterday upon his return from an extended visit to the western coast. "It is fairness to all to the man fighting in the trenches and to the civilian who is backing him op with his last dollar and his last effort. The great crops of the present year have made it possible to bring about this arrangement and it is a change which will be welcomed throughout the al lied world. "Best of all it assures, ample wheat products to the allies sufficient to carry through this great struggle. Will Outline Program. Mr. Wattles will leave tomorrow evening for Washington, where he has been called to attend a meeting of the food administrators of the various states. "After this meeting the program for the coming year will be well out lined," says he. "And on my return 66 By DADDY "Jerry the Clown" A Complete New Adrenturt Etch Week. Begbmlof Umd7 tod Kndlfif Sttardiy CHAPTER I. The Circus Runaways. In previous adventures Peggy haa met the birds, Billy Belgium, Balky Sam, the army mulee, and other Interesting char acters.) "T A-DA-DUM1 Ta-da-duml Ta- da-deel Boom!" blared a rattly-bang circus band some where among the tawny tents which overnight had transformed the creek valley into a mervelous land of en chaanatamaeant. Peggy, lying on the shaady, grassy hilltop, found the mu sic wonderfully fascinating. Its dishing, rapid time, its occasional weird twists conjured u pin her mind visions of spangled performers flying through the air, of daring riders dancing on the backs of racing horses, of smoersaulting acrobats, of clowns provoking gales of laughter, of strange animals bringing the ro mance of faraway places. How she would like to be with the crowds flowing into the mairl tent for the afternoon performance. If only daddy hadn t been called out of town today, I'd be down there now, she sighed, cut HI be a good sport, as he asked me to be, and not complain. Perhaps the next circus will be twice as nice." "Are circuses really and truly nice?" asked General Swallow, who without being noticed by Peggy, had swooped down from the sky to visit with her. . "They are as nice as movies, and magic exhibitions, and vaudeville and musical shows all mixed together, answered Peggy enthusiastically. Huh! That isn t as nice as watch ing the clouds dance as sunset or see ing the sunbeams frolic at dawn," de clared General Swallow. "Where is Mrs. Swallow?" inquired Peggy. Woman s curiosity she s trying to peek into the top of the tent," he replied with a wink. FeKRy pointed down to a gang of boys gathered close to the canvas. Man s curiosity, she winked back at him. "See those boys trying to get a squint at the elephants?" Wish I could squint at them. hooted Judge Owl, poking his head out of a tree and putting on the goggles which Peggy had given him in a previous adventure. "And I! And !" cried other birds, gathering around. Suddenly there was a commotion' around one of the tents, and out of it galloped three animals. Look, part of the circus is coming to us," cried General Swallow. You'd bettef run, Princess Peggy. They may be fierce wild beasts." No, its a mule, a dog and a goat, answered Peggy. ' "Why, I believe it is Balky bam, Johnny Bull and Billy Goat.'? : . .. . Up the hill raced the animals. As they came nearer Peggy saw that a little girl was on the back of the" mule, trying desperately to stop him. She was dressed in spangles and was evi dently a performer ready for the arena. "Hee-haw! Hee-haw! Run for the woods," brayed the mule. "Why. Balky Sam. what's the mat ter?" cried Peggy. The animals stopped short. "Who is calling me Balky Sam?" brayed the mule, sitting down. "I am," replied Peggy. "Are you up to some mischief that you are in such a hurry?" "If you are calling me Balky Sam, you'd better apologize in a hurry, be cause I am Circus Mike, and I don't like to be called names " "Why, you look exactly like Balky Complete the letters of Simon's of a Sail player. Answer ;-P Lamb Wins Medal When He Helps Woman and Child Across Street Thomas Lamb, deputy election commissioner, qualified as a traffic cop on Saturday afternoon when he played a heroic role at Seventeenth and Harney streets, with a woman and her "cheeild in the scene. He observed a little mother with her infant in a perambulator, try ing to make the crossing between the Keeline building and Boyd theater, through two lines of auto mobiles. The machines were lined westward on Harney street for sev eraf blocks without a break, re turning from the aviation fields. The little mother stood timidly in the middle of the street, fearing to venture between the oncoming automobiles. None heeded her presence until Mr. Lamb happened along and took charge of the situa tion. .He raised his right hand a la traffic cop and in a commanding manner brought the long line to a stop while the mother and her tiny charge were safe on the other side of the intersection. Mr. Lamb lift ed her buggy over the curbing and then motioned to the automobiles to proceed. hope to be able to formulate plans wnich will necessitate little change, "Mr. Hoover will outline the con ditions existing here and abroad and will offer plans which will enable America to meet its requirements next year. And America's duty next year, even in the face of these large crops, will be the greatest she has ever been called upon to perform. we must turnisii the greater portion of the foods needed by the allies and in addition we must maintain our army, which will aggregate 3,000,000 by the middle 01 the year. "But America will do it and she will do it through voluntary conser vation." 99 "ARE CIRCUSES REALLY AND ' TRULY NICE?" ASKED GENERAL SWALLOW. Sam," stammered Peggy, all taken aback. I "Nothing of the sort," brayed Cir cus Mike. "He has a white spot over his left eye, and I have one over my right. Any one ought to be able to see that we are utterly unlike. "He is more polite, too," comment ed Peggy severely. "He'd never talk so rudely to Princess reggy. "What, are you Princess Peggy, the girl who talks animal and bird lan guage?" asked Circus Mike. "I am Princess Peggy." "Then I'll forgive you for mistaking me for that rascally brother of mine, this is Nanny Goat and Boston Bull, my chums. We are running away from the circus and taking Countess Alice along because she happened to be on my back when we started. "Why are you running away?" asked Peggy, to whom the circus was so wonderful she couldn't conceive of any one wanting to escape from it. "We're on a strike, because our act is so dull and because Jerry and Clown has become so cross to late." "Who is Jerry the Clown?" "He is the father of Countess Alice, and he thinks he is our master, but we are really the bosses, because when we don't act right we break up the whole show." "Here he comes now," howled Bos ton Bull. "To the woods then," brayed Cir cus Mike, jumping up so suddenly that Countess Alice was jerked from his back. The three animals dashed into the woods as a clown came pant ing up the hill, swinging a long whip in his hand. To Peggy's "suprise, instead of laughing as clowns are usually sup posed to do, he was crying bitterly, the' tears -streaming down his cheeks. Countess Alice ran to him, and he took her tenderly into his arms. "My poor little girl," he sobbed. "What will we do now? If our act doesn't go on this afternoon, we will be ruined. The anials are gone, and so has our last chance to see your brother' Bob before he sails for France." With that he broke down and wept as if his heart were breaking.

Fulton, multimillionaire, la masquerading In Hlllerton as John Smith, genealogist Interested In data concerning the Hlalsdell family. He Is busy watching relatives he has suddenly made wealthy. Mr. Smith boards at the house of Miss Maggie Duff, whose father married the motlxt of the Blalsdells. but who hua Inherited none of the Fulton wealth. They have been attending party given by Mrs. James Blaladell. CHAPTER XIII (Continued). FIVE minutes later he had found Miss Maggie, and was making his adieux. Miss Maggie, on the way home, was strangely silent. "Well, that was some party," be gan Mr. Smith, after waiting for her to speak. "It was, indeed." "Quite a house!" "Yes." "How pretty Miss Mellicent looked." "Very pretty." "I'm glad at last to see that poor child enjoying herself." "Yes." Mr. Smith frowned and stole a side wise glance at his companion. Was it possible? Could Miss Maggie be show ine at least a tinge of envy and jeal ousy? It was so unlike her! And yet "Even Miss Flora seemed to be having a good time in spite of that funereal black," he hazarded, again. "Yes." "And I'm sure Mrs. James Blaisdell and Miss Bessie were very radiant and shining. "Oh. ves. they shone." Mr. Smith bit his lip and stole an other sidewise glance. "Er how did you enjoy it? Did you have a good time?" "Oh, yes, very." There was a brief silence. Mr. Smith drew a long breath and began again. ( "I had no idea Mr. James Blaisdell was so fond of er books. I had quite a chat with him in his den." No answer. "He Says Fred " "Did you see that Gaylord girl?" Miss Maggie was galvanized into sud den life. "He's perfectly bewitched with her. And she that ridiculous dress and for a young girl! Oh, I wish Hattie would let those people alone!" Oh, well, he'll be off to college next week," soothed Mr. Smith. Yes. but whom with? Her brother! and he's worse than she is, if any thing. Why, he was drunk tonight, actually drunk, when he came! I don't want Fred with hint. I don't want Fred with any of them." "No. I don't like their looks myself very well, but I fancy young Blais I dell has a pretty level head on him. His father says "His father worships him," inter rupted Miss Maggie. "He worships all those children. But into Fred into Fred he's pouring his whole lost youth. You don't know. You don't understand, of course. Mr. Smith. You haven't known him 'all the way, as I have." Miss Maggies voice shook with suppressed feeling. .Jim was always the dreamer. He fairly lived in !his books. They were food and drink to him. He planned for college, of course. From boyhood he was going to write great plays, great poems, great novels. He was always scribbling something. I think he even tried to sell his things, in his 'teens; but, of course, nothing came of that but rejection slips. "At 19 he entered college. He was going to work his way. Of course, we couldn't send him. But he was too frail. He couldn't 6tand the dou ble task, and he broke down complete ly. We sent him into the country to recuperate, and there he met Hattie Snow, fell head over heels in love with her blue eyes and golden hair and married her on the spot. Of course there was nothing to do then but to go to work, and Mr. Hammond took him into his real estate and insurance office. He's been there ever since, plodding, plodding, plodding." "By George!" murmured Mr. Smith sympathetically. "You can imagine there wasnt much time left for books. I think, when he first went there he thought he was still going to write the great poem, the great play, the great novel that was to bring him fame and money. But he soon learned better. Hattie had little patience with his scribbling, and had less with the con stant necessity of scrimping and economizing. She was always am bitious to get ahead and be somebody and, of course, as the babies came and the expenses increased, the de mand for more money became more and more insistent. But Jim. poor Jim! He never was a money maker, . al.J 1 He worked, and worKeci naru, anu then he got a job for evenings and worked harder. . But I don't believe he ever quite caught up. That s why triad when this money came for Jim. And now, don't you see? He's thrown his whole lost youth into Fred. And Fred" "Fred is going to make good. You see if he doesn't!" 1 Woman Suffers Broken Leg When She Falls Six Feet During a family row early Saturday morning Will Dawsie, negro, 2505 Pacific avenue, struck his wife sev eral times and knocked her off a porch about 6 fett from the ground.

But-I wish those Gaylords had been at the bottom of the Red Sea before they ever came to llillerton," she fumed with sudden vehemence as she entered her own gate. CHAPTER XIV. From Me to You With Love. It was certainly a gay one that holiday week. Beginning with the James Blaisdells housewarming, it was one continuous round of dances, dinners, sleigh rides and skating par ties for Hillerton's young people, jpar- ticularly for the Blaisdells, the fen nocks and the Gaylords. , Mr. Smith, at Miss Maggie's, saw comparatively little of it all, though he had almost daily reports from Benny, Mellicent,' or Miss Flora, who came often to Miss Maggie's for a little chat. It was from Miss Flora that he learned the outcome of Melli- cent's present to her mother. The week was past, and Miss Flora had come-down to Miss Maggie's for a little visit. . Mr. Smith Still worked at the table in the corner of the living room, though the Duff-Blaisdell records were all long ago copied. He was at work sorting and ' tabulating other Blaisdell records. Mr. Smith seemed to find no end to the work that had to be done on his Blaisdell book. As Miss Flora entered the room she greeted Mr. Smith cordially, and dropped into a chair. "Well, they've gone at last," she panted, handing her furs to Miss Maggie; "so I thought I'd come down and talk things over. No, don't go, Mr. Smith, she begged, as he made a move toward departure. "I hain't come to say nothin private; besides, you're just like one of the family, anyhow. Keep right on with your work, please." Thus entreated, Mr. Smith went back to his table, and Miss Flora settled herself more comfortably in Miss Maggie's easiest chair. "So they're all gone," said Miss Maggie cheerily. "Yes: an' it's time they did, to my way of thinkin'. Mercy me, what a week it has beenl They hain't been still a minute, not one of 'em, except for a few hours' sleep toward mornin'." "But what a good time they've had I" exulted Miss Maggie. "Yes. And didn't it do your soul good to see Mellicent? But Jane Jane nearly had a fit. She told Melli cent that all this gayety was nothing but froth and flimsiness and vexation of spirit. That she knew it because she'd been all through it when she was young, and she knew the vanity of it. And Mellicent what do you suppose that child said?" "I can't imagine," smiled Miss Maggie. "She said she wanted to see the vanity of it, too. Pretty cute of her. too. wasn't it? Still it's just as well she s gone back to school, I think myself? She's been repressed and held back so long, that wnen she ma let loose, it was just like cutting the puckering string of a bunchea-up rut file she flew in all directions, and there was no holding her back any where; and I suppose she has been a bit foolish and extravagant in the thintrs shea asked for. Poor dear, though, she did get one setback." "What do vou mean?" "Did she tell you about the present for her mother?" "That she was going to get It- yes, Across the room Mr. Smith looked up suddenly. "Well, she got it" Miss Flora's thin line unarmed trrimlv Over the terse words. "But she had to take it back." "Tat it hack I" cried Miss Maggie. "Yes. And 't was a beauty one of them light purple stones with two pearls. Mellicent showed it to me on the way 4iome from the store, you know.' And she was so pieascu nr il 'Dh I don't mind the sav ing all these years now,' she cried, "when I see what a Deauuiui wing they've let me get for mother.' , And she went off so happy she just couldn't keep her feet from dancing. "I ran imacine it. noaaea miss Maggie. "Well, in an hour she was back. But what a difference! All the light and happiness and springiness were rnne. She was almost crying, one still carried the little box m her hand, tin' it hack.' she choked. 'Moth- .r doesn't like it.' 'Don't tike that beautiful oinl' says I. 'What does she want?' '"Oh, yes. she liked the pin, said Mellicent, all teary; 'she thinks it's beautiful. But she doesn't want any thing. She says she never heard of such foolish goings-on paying an that money for a silly, useless pin. I I told her 't was a present from me, but she made me take it back. I'm on my way now back to the store. I m to get the money if I can. If I can't. I'm to get a credit slip. Mother says we can take it up in forks and things we need. I told her 't was a present, but' She couldn't say another wora, poor child. She just turned and al most ran from the room. Red Cross to Provide Mourning Brassards Washington, Sept. 1.

NET! "That was last night. She went away tins morning, i suppose, a uiuu i see her again, so I don't know how she did come out with the storeman." "Too bad too bad!" sympathized Miss Maggie. (Over at the table Mr. Smith had fallen to writing furiously, with vicious little jabs of his pencil.) "But Jane never did believe in pres ent giving. They never gave presents to each other even at Christmas. She always called it a foolish, wasteful practice, and Mellicent was always so unhappy Christmas morning!" "I know it And that's just what the trouble is. Don't you see? Jane never let 'm take even comfort, and now that they can take some comfort. Jane's got so out of the habit, she don't know how to begin." "Careful, careful, Flora!" laughed Miss Maggie. "I don't think you can say much on that score." J'Why, Maggie Duff, I'm taking comfort," bridled Miss Flora. "Didn't I have chicken last week and turkey three weeks ago? And " do I ever skimp the butter or hunt for cake rules with one erg now? And ain't I going to Niagara and have a phono graph and move into a fine place just as soon as niv mourning is up? You wait and seel1' "All right, I'll wait," laughed Misi Maggie. Then, a bit anxiously, she asked: "Did Fred go today?" "Yes. looking tine as a fiddle, too. I was sweeping olf the steps when he went by the house. He stopped and spoke. Said he was going in now for real work that he'd played long enough. He said he wouldn't be good for a row of pins if he had many such weeks as this had been." "I'm glad he realized it," observed Miss Maggie grimly. "I suppose tha Gaylord young people went, too." 1 "Hibbard did, but Pearl doesn't go till next week. She isn't in the same school with Bess, you know. It's even grander than Bess's, they say. Hattie wants to get Bess into it next year. Oh, I forgot; we've got to call her 'Elizabeth .now. Did you know?" Miss Maggie shook her nead. "Well, we have. Hattie says nick names are all out now, and that 'Elizabeth' is very stylish and good form, and the only proper thing to call her. She says we 'must call her, 'Harriet,' too. I fortot that." L Miss Maggie. "Yes. And Tim 'James.' But I'm afraid I shall forget sometimes." "Ira afraid a good many of us will," laughed Miss Maggie. "It all came from them Gaylords, I believe," sniffed Flora. "I don't think much of 'em; but Hattie seems to, I notice she don't put nothin' discour aein' in the way of young Gaylord and Bess. But he pays 'most as much attention to Mellicent, so far as I can see, whenever Carl I'ennock will give him a chance. Did you ever see the beat of that boy? It's the money, of course. I hope Mellicent '11 give hitm a good lesson, before she gets through with it. He deserves it, she ejaculat ed, as she picked up her fur neckpiece, and fastened it with a jerK. , In he doorway she paused and f lanced cautiously toward Mr. SnlhTiT" lr. Smith, perceiving tie glance, tried very hard to absorb himself in : the rows of names and dates before him; but he could not help hearing Miss Flora's next words. "Maggie, hain't you changed youi mind a mite yet? Won't you let me give you some of my money? I'd so love to. dear!" .... But Miss Maggie, with a violent shake of her head, almost pushed Miss Flora into the hall and shut the door firmly. , .... Mr. Smith, left alone at his table, wrote again furiously, and with vici ous little jabs of his pencil. - (To Be Continued Tomorrow.)
