On Foot and Dying He Reached Our Front

Eearer guns, outlined against the sky
over the crest, as they moved quick
ly back and forth. Twice they bore
motionless bodies to the rear. and laid
them down tenderly beyond the fierce
zone of fire. Then the heavier pieces
OF artillery farther down the line
burst into thunder, and we silently
watched a large force of infantry
move slowly past us up the long slope
until they halted in line of battle just
behind its summit. the advanced files
lying flat upon their faces and peer

Nearly noon by the red sun hiding
behind the drifting powder cloud. The
ever-deepening roar Of ceaseless con-
test had moved westward down the
valley, when an aide wheeled his
smoking horse in front of the Colonel,
spoke dozen hasty words, pointed
impetuousiy to the left, and dashed
off down the line. The men leaped
to their feet in eager expectancy. and

their mark, began to chug into our
own ranks, dealing death ifnpartially

Beware cheap Bills.

An examination of paper currency
by Warren H. Hilditch Of Yale showed
an average of one hundred and forty
two thousand bacteria on the bill.
Twenty-one bills were examined, and
while some were relatively clean, car
rying only trifle Of fourteen thou
sand living things, others swarmed to
the figure of five hundred and eighty
six thousand. And, strange to say, the
bacteria did not seem to swarm to
the $1,000 bills in preference to the
81 bills.
This shows that it is far healthier
to carry $1,000 bills about than it is
to tote 81 bills. Here is a valuable
financial hint.

HANDLE THEIR OWN PRODUCT
Boston Gardeners Plan Organization
OF Cooperative Growers Sell
ing Associations.

Ii present plans do not miscarry
Boston will soon see cooperative
vegetable growers selling association.
"A rev days ago, a representative of
the New England Homestead was
talking with one of the big gardeners
catering to the Boston market and
learned Of this movement. He said
that the vegetable grower is at the
mercysof dealers and commission men,
He further declared that#the system
OF selling vegetables which prevails in
Boston today is a disgrace to reputa-
BILE farmers.
Boston gardeners take! the back
seat for none, as regardsag getting high
Yields per acre and predicting extra
fine quality of produce. but they are
Woefully weak when it comes to plac-
Ing that product on the market. They
literally dump their vegetables into
Boston and take whatever the dealer
sees fit to give. They have no alter
native, as they are not organized to
the point of being able to divert their
products to other markets, or to In
duce rapid consumption
AS matter of fact, dealers keep
prices up to consumers, and, at the
same time pay the grower starvation
prices. If growers had a good mar
ket1ng association, and an oversupply
were imminent, they could reduce the
price to consumers, with a result of
cleaning out the market. There are
-FOUR growers near Boston who do q
business Of over 100000 a year, and
the plan is for these men to open a
market, handle their own product,
and perhaps take consignments from
other growers. Such names as Raw
son, Hittinger, Hall and Rane are as
'ociated with the project. The won
Ter IS that these bright business men
lave not attended to this matter be-
ore.
