The railroad, therefore. is the frst

OF Russia. Perhaps this is why Rus

MAN, and France trains are hurrying
day and night with stores Of food.
Where there are no railroads huge
automobile trucks are used. Nl'
At the beginning of the war the
countries engaged took over practi-'
cally all the automobiles they could
lay their hands on. The machines
thus taken have been used for every
conceivable purpose. There have been
skirmishes between motor cars
armed with auick-fring guns and
mounted troops OF the enemy. In
fantry have been moved with incred-
ible swiftness by means Of taxicabs
which used to ply in the streets of
London. Berlin and Paris. Big guns
are hauled by motor tractors. Gen.
erals and staff officers speed from end
to end of the far-fiung lines in racing
cars. But, most important of all. food
is carried by motor truck to hungry
men. Heavy motor trucks, capable of
carrying several tons each of food, are
attached to the various field depots.
Adjoining these depots are the
bakeries, where thousands of loaves
are baked by day and night shifts for
the men at the front. Bread and other

quent intervals behind the second line
of troops. Where roads are too bad
for the heavier vehicles, light auto
mobile delivery vans or even horse
drawn carts and wagons of every de-
scription are used to convey food to
the replenishing points. From these
small depots men carry food. bread
and coffee to the "dugouts" where the
fighting men rest, or even to the
tren ches, making their way to these
danger zones by deep bitches dug for
the safe passage of men under fire.
The cooking equipment of the arm

and efficiency. Each regiment carries
its own cooking outfits. On the march
the regimental cooks are busy getting
ready the mems dinners or suppers.
Immense cookers are mounted on

DANGERS OF DOING NOTHING
Every Boy Should Practice seif-criti-
cism-Idleness 10 One Of Hab-
H. . Its Disclosed.

The harm of doing nothing Is sci.
dom realized. But 1t means going
backward. Or. If it means floating
along to somewhere. 1t also means
getting soaked and heavy and finally
sinking out OF sight. Everybody should
adopt Secretary Redfield's advice to
business men-to practice self-criti-
cism: to find out If anything is the
matter. and then correct it, says Ohio
State Journal.
We suspect If every boy and girl
would undergo little determination
they would find idleness was one Of
their habits And they are apt also to
think 1t is an innocent habit: but it Is
not; itis a dangerous habit. Remem-
ber the old saying that the devil al
ways finds something for idle hands to
do. and that something is evil always.
Now, work Is not always struggle
with ones hands. 1t does not always
make one perspire and get short OF
breath. If person thinks of things
that are true, If he builds up noble
ideals. If he plans enterprises of good
will, If he makes use of his spirit in
forming fine resolutions-this is not
idling.
The test for idleness is very easy.
When one wastes his time he is idle;
when he does not utilize thought and
deed to make his life better he is
idllng. Teaching boy to value his
time is the best lesson that can be
given him.

BOY HAS ONE vRAND VOYAGE

Made Deeper Impression Than

There was boy whose father kept
a small newspaper and tobacco shop
and sent him out with the papers
every morning One morning the boy
stopped when he came to the Old
Canal dock. where he had to deliver
a paper at the office. The dock was
full of barges of rusty scrap iron.
moored close to an old-style barken-
tine.
What wouldn't I give to get into
the dockkeeper's boat" he thought.
'and go on great voyage to the near
est barge!" The wish was too strong
to be put. off. He ran quickly down
the steps, got into the boat, pushed
1t out to the length of its rope, three
or four yards. and then let 1t drift
slowly back. Each time he did this he
drew a deep breath and said: That s
fine: might be in Valp'raso harbor, at
the other end of the world"
Presently the dockman came along.
"Hi there said he, you clear out Of
that" The boy had to clear out then
and make off. but the breath of ndveh-
