Congressman J. R. Clancy, of New York, 35th District, has Joined the Thrift Movement. To a recent an nouncement of the American Society for Thrift, from the Chicago head quarters, that October Is to be Thrift Month the country over, Congress man Clancy replied: "I am In most hearty sympathy with your efforts to create thrift among the American people. I know of no better way to secure practical results than for all of ua to reduce our tastes to a simpler and healthier basis. In securing thl* no one tiling can he of greater aid than all buying for cash. Unrestricted credit is always apt to lead to extravagance. "Your suggestion to revive the old fashioned practice of buying vege table for winter use in quantities Is most excellent. Many of the cheaper winter vegetables such as were used in my boyhood days are equally as healthful as the canned vegetables of today, and very much cheaper. Pos sibly the slogan might me, eat only the things that Rre of the season thereby securing the maximum of quantity and flavor at the minimum cost.

BILLY PIG RESCUES BILLY GOAT. Billy Pig was on his way to his grandmother's one morning. He had a basket on his arm, which he was very careful to hold straight, as It con tained a Jar filled with fresh milk. He had gone half way through the woods when he Uiought he heard a groan. Hilly Pig stopped and listened, hut he did not put down the basket, and he waited until he heard the groan again, and then he started to run. When he reached the end of the woods he looked hafrk,, but to his sur- Vkw'r ye*'* **»r*f# */*'** „ vet/’ prise, he did not s*e anyone following, as he had expected. "Perhaps It was not old Bruin after all." he said. Billy Pig looked about and eelected a place to put hla basket and then went cautiously toward the bushes from where the groans seemed to come. Something moved, and Billy Ptg stopped, but the groan came again, and Billy took a step nearer. He could see a whit# coat. He went nearer and saw It had black spots. Billy Pig grew holder, nnd pulled aside the bush es, and there on the ground was Billy Goat, held fast by the horns in the briar bushea. "Oh. oh, oh. oh!" Billy Goat groan ed. "Don't kill me, Mr. Wolf." for he could not see Billy Pig; the briars held Wear and Use More Cotton Goods Every woman who buys and uses cotton goods at this time is helping to revive American industries. She is helping the South to move its cotton crop; she is giving impetus to the mills and spinners. Cotton has a multitule of uses—it is the world’s great staple. Today, because of the European war, it is lower in price than in many years. That means lower prices for manufactured cot ton—better buying opportunities than in many a day. The stores are offering many attractive values in cotton goods as can be seen by the advertising in The Herald. his head so close to the ground. Billy Pig began to understand now, and he thought It would serve Billy Goat right if he made him think he was old, old black wolf, and paid him back for all the tricks he had played on him and all the frights he had giv en him. Then he saw that the briars were really causing Billy Goat pain, as they were sticking Into his head. So, with out saying a word, he began to pull them away from Billy Goat’s horns. When the last briar was removed and Billy Goat jumped up and saw Billy Pig ,he was the most astonished fellow you ever saw. »"Was that you every time I have t(|ught old black wolf came to carry me off?" asked Billy Pig. who was thinking of all the times old black wolf had appeared to him. "Yes,” said Billy Goat, “and I cer tainly had you some scared, didn’t I? You would do anything I asked if only Mr. Wolf would let you off." "Yes, I was scared," said Billy Pig. "but it seemed to me you were about as scared as any goat I ever saw this morning when I found you and Mr. Wolf had about as much promised him as anyone I knew of. You better come over where my basket Is and get something to eat; you must be hun gry." Billy Goat began to be ashamed of himself when Billy Pig handed him the jar of milk and some seed cookies out of his basket, and then bound his handkerchief around Billy Goat'a head where the briers had hurt him. "Won't your mother punish you for giving away the milk and cookies?" asked Billy Goat. "I suppose she will," said Billy Pig, "hut I could not leave you here with out anything to eat, and you were al most faint from hunger." "I will go back home with you and tell her and get eome more milk and cookies for your grandmother, and then I will carry the- basket all the way, for you are a pretty good fellow. Billy Pig, and I am ashamed of all the tricks l have played on you." "Oh, I played a few on you, so I guess we are about even now," said Billy Pig. Ills mother forgave Billy Pig and told him he was a brave fellow and did Just right to feed Billy Goat, who was *<• much in need of feed.
