Down with the H. C. L.! That's whtt everybody is crying. But how? Why, by laying in a stock of the surplus foodstuffs that the govern ment is selling at cut prices. - After the usual family circle argu ment, Douglas B. Welpton as head of the house volunteered to do the job he'd go shopping in place of his wife and bring home the bacon without emptying the pocketbook. So Douglas did. Everything that looked cheap and tempting he bought. His bill footed up over $70 and he hauled his stuff home, the piece de resistance being a case of pepper.

"You said you needed pepper and they vveK selling it 3 cents a can under what vou last paid for it." "Yes, but we use perhaps two cans of pepper in a year, and you've bought a whole case. Did you say there are 24 cans in a case? "Well, then, we've pepper enough now to last us for 12 years." When last seen Douglas was try ing to figure out how much his last can of pepper would cost him, com puting the investment at 6 per cent, compound interest. China Believes U. S.

"Why, don't you know, Harry?" said little Miss Hope, in mock sur prise. "Mr. Salisbury says the bills that were mailed for his Christmas purchases haven't reached him yet!'

As a result of the continued downward tr-nd of the German mark, the food controller has ordered the discontinuance of purchases in Holland and Denmark. Newspapers in discussing the problem, declare the western fron tier has virtually ceased to exist in view of the unchecked influx of American, English and French com mod'ties across the Rhine. Illicit I traffic through "the hole on the Rhine" is said to have assumed such j proportions as to preclude the pos sibility of customs or other control. As a volume of trade increases, the amount of German money required to finance it moves upward to an ac celerated pace and results in the further depreciation of the mark.
