My Wife Hu Ae Knitting Bug.
(Ry John J. Beekman.) My wife's not like she used to be;
She lets the house wot* go; She's gone and joined some knittiTig club, And I'm the goat you know; There was a time I saved s cent, Kut not today—ahe has them
spent— I can scarcely scrape the monthly resit.
I bought an auto car last year;
I can't buy gasoline; My wife buys wool by hundred¬ weight; My purse is spic and clean; I cnn't attend my club no more— Most everything I'm owing for — She's sort o' got me kinder sore.
And when I slate the truth to her She flies up in the air, i
Responding. "I'm helping our brave | boys Who's fighting 'over there'." She don't care for the boy that's
here— \
Living a now day.s is ."ome queer; ' I live in poverty and fear.
Soon as T leave for work each day.
Soon as I'm out o' sight, '
Sh" starts her knitting needle goin' ¦
With all her main and might; |
.So that's the life I must endure, I
A killin' life, slow but sure,
Until my fond wife finds a cure.

About fifty scoutmasters from all I sections of the county Kathored at sx I dinner given for them in Quinn's resfauraiit in the Court House at .Min¬ eola on Wednesday evening, February 27th.
After the Boy Scout leaders had i partaken of a delectable meal, they were addressed by Charles E. Smil;h, I physical instructor at Staten Island i Academy. Professor Smith demon-1 strated 'to the leaders the newest | games for Boy Scouts, and these games will be introduced by the scoutmasters into the activities of the respective Boy Scout organiaa tions of the county.
The Boy Scout men conferred on the best methods of promoting the sale of War Stamps and the forth coming Liberty Bond issue in the county.
Of special interest was the address of H. J. Evans, manager of the Nas¬ sau County Farm Bureau. Manager Evans talked to the men on farming matters and outlined some of the rules to be observed in conducting troop farms the coming season. The Nassau County Boy Scout organiza¬ tion has a program for the planting of troop farms in every section where Boy Scout organizations are found in the county and a plan is under way to have every boy who plants a por¬ tion of the farm, reap a ifinancial bene¬ fit from his labors.

.Kt every meeting of the Freaport Red Cross Society there comes to the members the conviction that they must correct some erroneous opiniion held in the minds of inquiring friends .A.t the meeting last week it develop¬ ed that many of the organization's friends would like to know what be¬ comes of what they get. l/ots of people think every woman and child armed with a bag of knitting has purchased the wool herself. Every yard of knitting wool put into sweat¬ ers, socks, helmets and wristlets is given out at the Red Cross rooms.
Tli2re may bo generous souls knit- ling for other reasons or causes, but that is not Red Cross work. The amount spent by the Freeport Branch for wool is staggering. The last bill was over $600, that is, only for wool. They pay for all supplies and they also pay rent. If you knew the anxi¬ ety of the finance committee to keep their heads nicely above the surface of a sea of trouble and see a little daylight too, you would send along another "bit." It is certainly needed.
The people of Freeport have been princely generous and they urge you to please keep on being so and save the repose of the finance committee. The more they get the more they can do. The more you give into the work, the more you give them, the greater they can enlarge their scope.
Red Cross work is just beginning. More men are being put into the working ranks over there every day and more will need our help. Help the Freeport Red Cross to help them.

Reputation
Wlien you buy an automobile what do you really buy.'
Do you only buy the material aiid labor? Or do you buy what a car stands for in repu¬ tation, in achievment, in excellence «f rank?
When you buy a car, you believfe what the maker says of it. You buy material and labor plua reputation. -
Reputation in motor car building is most important. ^
Without reputation, your metal, rubber and wood would be merely a highly polished mech¬ anical assembly. With it, you are certain of sat¬ isfaction, plea.sure, health, and efficient travel.
