I,K ITERS
To the Editor The Nassau Post:
Those who have negleclod lo make the most of these strange aud horri¬ ble "ondilions. better gel thinking: when we could have bought flour at normal prices, we did not buy that barri 1, which would have saved the family so much expense. .Now in con- seque'ice we suffer. All these necessi¬ ties are very much higher than we have ever seen them. Let's stop say¬ ing v'hat we should have done, but think what we can do now to make the most of the situation. Buy some real estate; it is at a low t>l)b at Iiresent. Get a little of- it. The holders are sick with their heavy bur¬ dens, f.nd some of them too impatient to wail even a few months for a cer¬ tain I ise in values. You who do not own a home can he benefited by this situation if you buy now. Take the opportunity and be thankful, for it would not he easy to build now, and there are many good homes for sale at prices lower than we will see them again. Buy a home or buy some acre¬ age. This great movement toward ag¬ riculture has only commenced.
These aie just a few ideas from an old Txmg Islander. ,

Tbere is '. worl' to be done, and ev«ryoae wish-; ing to help their country in tbis time ; of s'icss Is urged to come to the' room; and sew. There have bc-en over , 280 workers there during the past four weeks, and much work has been accomplished. However, many more workeiB would be welcome.
There have been two card parlies given aurins; the week for tbe beneflt of the Freeport Branch of the Red Ooss. One was given by -Mrs. Perry at her home on Madison Avenue. The oth". was given at the hotne ot .Mrs. Bradlty, 312 South Bayview Avenue, at which .Mrs. Swezey, the chairman of th' Freeport Branch, was the guest of honor. .Mrs. Perpegnair presented .Mrs. Swezey with a large bunch of flowets tied with red. white and blue ribbor, aud a flag floating from it--^ with tl.e woids that Ihe Bayview peo¬ ple pltdged tbeir 'oyal support to her. A bunch of flowi'is was also pres-.lied to .Mrs. Bradley.

COAL «"0 A H»'

Under these circumstances, unless the ^.cvernment takes over the food suppi}. when we are actually at war. we i:i\a Imagine a housekeeper going down to the coal yards and ordering thrc" coals tor the month's supply. If soin" genius now would only discover a method of generating coal heat by] .soiii'-- device, wherein we can warm up an en'ire room, with a coal, he would; be a .-om|nion benefactor. As for gaso¬ line, we 'are lead to look upon that as , a lux.IIy. in which the man or woman ; with an auto, or a damaged suit of; clotlii-s, can And some degree of com- I fort.
We never did like potatoes much. We are strons for a big reduction in coal prices.
