Mr.. Honeyman looked hopefully at
the pleasant, rosy-faced Norwegian

an interview. Can you wash and

of offset to Arnold's treatment of the unlucky
Americans who met his forces along the banks
of the Connecticut Thames
Gen Arnold had met Gen. Warren in the early
spring of 1775 and had formed a strong personal
liking for him. When Warren was killed it was
found that he had left no means for the support
and education of his four children Arnold be-
came deeply interested in the matter and brought
the chldrens condition to the attention of the
continental congress- which promised to do some
thing for the little ones, but dy-dallied over the
matter. Arnold had idea that the congress
might not act quickly and so he wrote letter
of tender solcitude to Mercy Schollay, who was
caring for the Warren children, their mother hav-
ing died some time before. In this letter Arnold,
nearly impoverished himself sent order for
$500 with instructions that he should be drawn
upon for more as soon as 1t was needed. This
contribution of the traitor saved Elizabeth, Jo-
seph, Mary and Richard Warren from destitu-
tion. Arnold was not satisfied with this, but he
wrote squirting letters to Sam Adams and John
Hancock, of the committee which had the pro
posed congressional appropriation in hand. Then
he sent home some money and said Send Rich
ard, who is now old enough to the best school
that can be found, clothe him handsomely, give
him all that he needs and call upon me for any
future expense"
How much food for thought may be found in
one of the letters of Benedict Arnold traitor,
written to Miss schoay just before his treason.
He had sent more money and had congratulated
the children on the prospect that the money from
congress would be speedily forthcoming. "A
country" said Arnold. SHOULD be ever grateful
to the patriot who lays down his life in its de-
Tense, Greater love hath no man than this"
What suTging thought must have whelmed
this mana brain as he wrote these words. That
letter was received just st the time that Arnold

Certainly it seems like carrying
Goals to Newcastle to speak of export

year the Quaker Oats Company sends
hundreds of thousands of cases Of
Quaker Oats to Great Britain and

The reason is simple; while the
English and Scotch have for centuries
eaten oatmeal in quantities and with a
regularity that has made them the
most rugged physically, and active

has been eating oatmeal and trying all
