“And why not,” demanded the lady.
“Because wo haven't got It and Can't

"Some store,” and the late customer
swept out of the store with her head
elevated to a dangerous altitude.*
“Now that’s Just the reason we can’t
keep thread In stock," observed the
sales buyer.
“Just as soon as a woman hears there
is a shortage on the article she makes
a tour of the department stores and

house and stocks up for the nert ten

“There are hundreds of women in this
city if we could only learn the actual
truth, who have from three to ten spools
of thread which they do not need.”

maka the shortage themselves—and not
do this—we could tide them over.”
There has been and still Is undoubt
edly a shortage of thread In the United
States.
A South Meridian street wholesale
house receives fifty dozen spools a day
Instead of the customary 50,000.
The heavy shortage has been on white
cotton in the numbers ranging from 30
to 70.
These are the numbers where the de
mand is the greatest, although not such
a noticeable shortage runs through all
numbers of cotton thread both white
and black.
The primary trouble begins with the
production in the fields.
IMPOSSIBLE TO
GDI LABOR.
Draft for service and war occupations
made it impossible to procure sufficient
laborers to raise the cotton.
Likewise, the mills have been given
over to war products until recently, and
even now it is impossible to employ help
enough to make a normal output.
The recent factory strikes and the rail
road tieups also have helped to compli
cate the situation.
In addition the new spools are being
made to hold 156 and 250 yards of thread.
Confusion in the local stores because of
the respective increase in prices further
has tangled up the matter.
Merchants advise that If women do not
wish to cause a vacancy instead of a

PUSS IN BOOTS JR.
By DAVID CORY.
You remember in the last story that
as soon as the little goat bleated, the
table disappeared with all ti?e good
things to eat. And then Puss said to the
little girl:
“I wish I had a little goat like yours.
He’d make a fine companion to me on
my travels.”
“I couldn’t part with him,” said the
little girl, whose name was Two-eyes,
"for without him I should have only
crusts to eat.”
“Oh, are you the Two-eyes In the Fairy
Story Book?” asked Puss, and he curled
his whiskers and smiled at her. And
after that he went home with her and
the little goat, and when they were quite
near the bouse, she said:
*‘l fear my mother and sisters will treat
you ill If you come Into the house.” So
Puss said he’d sleep in the stable with
the little goat.
Early in the morning Puss was awak
ened by a noiße and, peeping out of the
shortage, all overstocking and hoarding
of thread be put to an end; that they buy
only what is necessary and no more.
If such rules were followed stringently
the market would move more freely, while
the mills gradually would get back to
the normal output.

And after that a handsome prince rode
up on horseback and the three cruel sis
ters, on seeing him, pushed poor little
Two-eyes under a barrel, which they
were about to fill with the golden apples.
But the noble prince didn’t see this,
for he was still too far away. And when
he rode up he asked for some of the
golden fruit. But, oh dear me! When
those cruel sisters tried to pick the
golden apples the boughs of the wonder
ful tree sprang away from their hands
and they couldn’t touch the fruit.
“Now’s the time for me to do some
thing," thought Puss, and he ran out of
the stable and said: “Noble Prince, the
fairest of the four sisters is hidden In
this barrel. ’Tis she who owns this won
derful tree and only she can pluck the
fruit.”
And as soon as he heard that, the noble
Prince sprang from his horse and lifted
up the barrel, and there sat little Two
eyes with her lap full of golden apples.
“Take her away with you.” whispered
Puss, "for she is most cruelly treated by
her family.” And then the Prince lifted
her up on his saddle, and after that he
took Puss in his arms and sprang up be
side her and away they went on his fast
horse to his stately castle in the green
woods far away.
Over the meadows and over the lea,
The noble Prince is riding so free,
And little Puss Junior safe at his side.
