original appropriation to this end, but
was hlndered in Its purpose because OF
depleted treasury.
Twenty-seven monuments have been
erected on this field. Nearly all these
are the result of private means and sub
scriptIons. One of these is to the mem
ory Of a woman and, strange to say, the
only woman of Revolutionary fame thus
honored. Another is to perpetuate the
memory of a boy and 1t is tine only monu-
mental memorial to boy hero of the war
of Independence. Mrs. Kerenhappuch Iur-
ner. of Maryland, was thus remembered.

Beside her monument, and beneath an

James A. Morehead, her grandson, a.
North Carolinian who was shot down In
battle. Two of Mrs. Turner's grandsons

white, shimmering glacier.
Interlaken has a beautiful lake as well
as fair mountains and the traveller going
from Interlaken to Lucerne does well to
make the trip by water. The lake of

At Giessbach the falls break over the

lovely one; the train makes a gradual

valleys covered with fields of wheat and

rich vineyards; the tall mountains In the
background make a rich display Of their
deep pine forests. The charm of the sur
rounding is increased By many mountain
torrents which come battling down over
the mountains sides. When the top, is

- EsTLED in one Of the most pictur-
esoue spots of Guilford county,
az North Carolina, is to be found the
only battlefield Of the Revolutionary
war that has been marked and preserved.
This beautiful and historic field Is the one
on which the Battle of ,Guilford Court
bonse was fought, one Of the most Inn
portant in that struggle resulting In the
freedom of this nation and the indepena
ence of its people.
The preservation Of this hallowed tield
is due TO the individual efforts OF niue
band of patriotic North Carolinians, ac-
tuated by desire to perpetuate the Valor
of their forebears. AS a result, after a
tremendous sacrifice of time and purse,
the field Is dotted here and there with
noble arches of granite and heroic monu-
ments erected on the spots where those
tn whose memories the shafts are dedi-
Gated, bled and fell for libertys glorious
cause.
For some unaccountable reason the Fed
eraI Government has always been reluc-
tapt In perpetuating the fields on when
the great battles were fought which ulti-
mately resrlted in the Colonies throwing
of the English yoke and giving to this
nation Its station among the great powers
OF the world Superb National Parks have
been established at Gettysburg, Vicks-
burg, Shiloh and Chickamauga in com
memofation of the battles of the Civil
War. The camp ground at Valley Forge,
near which which is located Senator Phil
lander Case Knoxs beautiful estate, which
derives its name from that OF General
Washington's winter quarters, is preserved
and maintained by Ahe State of Pennsyl-
vania. A monument has been erected at
Bunker Hill aud still another at York
town. while shafts and tablets have been
scattered around at various places
throuehout the country, but Guilford's
6eld alone stands intact as IL was on that
fateful Thursday, March IS, 1871, when
General Greene, after technical defeat,
rallied his forces and put CORVALLIS to
dirht and relentlessy pursued him to VIII

something more than 100 acres. Two
years later, by soliciting contributions
from public spirited private citizens, suf-
hcient funds were realized with which to
purchase additional parcels. until, little by
little, the park grew into Its present pro-
portions. Congress, meanwhile had been
appealed to and finally consented to ap-
propriate a sum sufficient to erect the
two handsome granite memorial arches
across the road over which the contend
ing armies marched and fought These
arches are memorials to General Francis
Nash and General william Davidson, re-
spectiyely, both Of whom gave their lives
in the cause of independence. In reality
Congress was but fulfilling the pledge OF

such a keen interest In the field. Not
only are arches. monuments and shafts
there to be found. but the old road
across which General Greene deployed
his two lines of militia and one Of
regulars. still remains. Up this road
CORVALLIS marched Mt the head of the
Queens Guard, Scotch Fusileers and the
bloodthlrsty and mercenary Hessians. A
string of granite boulders marks the line
of the old rail fence behind which the
North Carolina militia awaited the ap-
proach OF the enemy. Each and every
strategic point is marked and preserved
and the general topography of the field
is as 1t was on the day Of the battle,
and thus the progress Of the struggle
can be easily traced.
The battle-ground Association was
formed and incorporated by the late

e WIrZERLAND may well be called
tba diadem of the world; no other
country has so great variety anu
grandeur of scenery. In this small Repuo-
lie are seen jagged peaks snow-covered
mountains, denant glaciers, fertile hills,
rushing waterfalls, placid lakes and fertile
valleys. Nowhere do the forces Of nature
blend more harmoniously. The tourist
starts for trip on the vierwaldstatter-
see to enjoy the shimmering waters OF
the four-armed lake when he is encnant-
ed By a chaplet Of mountains encirchng
the waters He wanders about the Ter
tile valley OF SSchafff fffhhaasen and Is sur
prised by the rushing waters OF the
Rhine-falle. he goes up to the mountains
to st. Morit1 and finds a placid lake
several thousand feet above sea-level.
Proud though the Swiss people are OF
all this grandeur 1t is their mountains
they love most, for these sublime, de-
aant ranges have stood watch more 10y
ally against foreign invasion during the
centuries than the best disciplined army
could have done. The greatest OF the
poets, including Haller, Rousseau, Goethe
and Schiller have immortaliSed the SWISS
people. their scenery and legends In un-
dying words.
There are many ways Of becoming ac-
auainted with Swiss scenery. the trav-
eler may begin at the Rhinefalls, come
mn from the south with the st. Gotthard
or 20 over the Bernese Oberland, but
wherever he starts he is enchanted by
the wonders of nature which surround
him.
Perhaps the most fashionable not
the most popular part of Switzerland
is the Engadine Long before the En-
gadiner Railroad was built thousands OF
tourists boasted of making an annual
visit to st. Moritz and Pontresina The
building of the railroad has only In
creased the popularity of this beautiful
country, and In midsummer the many
hotels are unable to accommodate the
tourists who come here from all parts
OF the world.
This journey is to be made from the
town of Coire. The train starts in a
valley, but everywhere are seen steep
mountains and foamy cascades breaking
with a swift leap over high ledges. Soon
the train begins to ascend the mountains;
In places the incline is so steep 1t seems
impossible for the train to make the
ascent Some Of these mountains are
bare and Jagged, others are clothed with
pine forests and are watered by falls and

candy. Miss velma johnson loves
candy almost better than she does the
the boys and proved 1t by getting that
CONNECTION In her mouth a full minute
before the Others. For this she re-

at peeling apples without breaking
the peel and got a little bag
filled with a red apple as re-
ward. Miss Lena Johnson next
showed herself to be an extremely

across the room. A whistle compen-
stated her for this feat. A lunch at
