BROTHERS III MISERY
ooMRADEsHIP OF WOUNDED ON
THE BATTLEFIELD.
Letter Written to His Flaneee by
Dying French Officer Reveals
Triumph Of the Finer Feel
lngs Of Humanity.

A letter, which is among the most
moving documents written since the
beginning of the war, has been re-
ceived by a young American woman In
Paris. 1t was written by her fiance,
a French cavalry officer, as he lay
dying in Flanders, and with the letter
she received the news OF his death.
After narrating how he was wound
ed in the chest during a cavalry
charge and temporarily lost conscious
ness, the writer goes on:
There are two other men lying
near me and | do not think there is
much hope for them, either. One is
an officer OF a Scottish regiment and
the other a private in the uhlans.
They we're struck down after me
and when | came to myself | found
them bending over me, rendering first
aid. The Britisher was pouring water
down my throat from his flask, while
the German was endeavoring to
stanch my wound with an antiseptic
preparation served out by their med
ical corps.
THE Highlander had one of his legs
shattered and the German had several
pieces OF shrapnel buried In his side.
In spite of their own suffertngs they
were trying to help me, and when
was fully conscious again the German
gave me a morphia injection and took
one himself His medical corps had
also provided him with the injection
and the needle, together with printed
instructions for its use.
After the Injection. feeling wonder
fully at ease, we spoke Of the lives we
had lived before the war. We all
spoke English, and we talked of the
women we had left at home. Both the
German and the Britlsher had only
been married year.

who was falling to sleep exhausted.
and in spite of his drawn face and
mud-stained uniform, he looked the
embodiment of freedom. Then ]
thought of the tricolor of France and
all that France had done for liberty.
Then | watched the German, who
had ceased to speak. He had taken a
prayer book from his knapsack and
was trying to read service for sol
oilers wounded In battle"
The letter ends with a reference to
the failing light and the roar of guns
It was found at the dead officers side
by Red Cross file and forwarded TO

A Valuable Asset To The Farm Dairy

Until comparatively recent years
the full value of the Babcock Test
for butterfat in milk and its products
has not been realized by the majority
of the farmers.
The following are a few facts which
go to show that this form of testing
dairy products should be carefully
considered by the farmer who wishes
to build up his dairy:
l. The milk from each cow in the
herd can be tested at certain intervals
say once a month, and the total
amount of butter fat produced can be
calculated by multiplying the total
number of pounds of milk by the per-
cent of fat. This will show just how
much each COW is producing on the
butter fat basis.
2. Practically all cream and most
of the whole milk sold to creameries
and milk manufacturing establish
ments are sold on the butter fat bas-
is, and if the product is tested by the
producer he can tell whether or not he
is getting value received from his
sales.
3. If butter is made on the farm,
it is u good plan to test the cream
before churning so that the salt (and
coloring if used) may be added in I'M
form amounts. The amount of salt
should range from Y to ounces, de-
pending on conditions, and the amount
of coloring depending on the season
of year.
The first reason mentioned is prob
ably the most important, because if
a COW is not producing at least $50
pounds of butter fat a year she is
usually not paying for the feed con-
sumed and therefore is a losing prop
osition and should be disposed of.
An outfit for testing milk and the
cream may be purchased for from So
to 500, depending on the size and the
kind of power used for operation, but
good serviceable hand machine big
enough to accommodate about IL bot
ties at one time and supply of milk
and cream bottles would cost about
S12, and a machine of this size is
large enough for the average farm
dairy.

CONTRACT LET

N. E. Butler has just let the con-
tract to Davis & Pollard for the con-
struction of new business BLOCK on
lots and 6, block 81 on Main street
Just opposite the Register office. The
contract calls for the erection at once
of two store rooms occupying a space
of 5Ox12O feet with pressed brick
front, and will when completed fill
one of the big gaps in the business
section of Main street. The work
will be started at once and pushed to
completion.
The walls of the big Sunday addi-
ton to their garage, 50x140 feet, on
Main street adjoining their present
quarters, are going up rapidly and
will soon be ready to be enclosed. This
room is badly needed for the storage
of Fords as it is impossible to keep
them in large enough quantities in
the present quarters to supply the
demand. When completed Mr.. Sun
day will have a floor space 100x14O
feet which will be the largest garage
in the Arkansas valley anywhere, and
every inch of it will be in use. Mr..
Sunday has built up in a few years
one of the largest automobile bust
nesses in the state.
There are a number Of other con-
templated improvements practically
certain to be made in Lamar this year
which insures more work in the build
ing line for our city this year than
has been done here during the past
two years.

THE PUBLIC FORUM
REGARDING PoETS-It is reall

surprising how very little some of us
know about our own poets and their
different works.
For instance, "Barfoot Boy" has
been credited to Longfellow, Shakes
peare, Bacon, and now friend "Orris
Root" comes forward and bestows
the honor on Milton, the blind poet.
He, the stickler for exactitude, would
do very well if he would look up his
subject in reference book before he
disputes the word of another who
doesn't know any more about the
matter than he does himself.
Now, the truth is here at last and
information looked up on the topic
shows that John Greenleaf Whittier
is the famous author of the aforesaid
poem. If any one, "Orris Root in
cluded, wishes further argument
about this matter will be glad to hear
from him again.-B. OH.
