the 400-mile string of trenches
which Madame Europe wears on
her breast.
Just as the great transconti-
mental railroads of the United
States pass impressively through
small towns, so the great trans

their route bent by the great Eng

find the residents of the city
extremely proud of the distinc-
tion. This is probably because
they personally helped General
French i'm his task of trench
bending. There are no French
people remaining here; in fact
there are no houses remaining.
Rainbow Appears.
This showery afternoon a rain
bow is shining on a huge black
cloud over Neuve Chapelle and a
party Of French magazine artists
are making every artistic effort
to draw 1t into their pictures.
The rainbow was bending over
the little, crushed French town,
with no one to see 1t but the Eng
lish soldiers who peeped out OF
their trenches at it, and the art
lists.
All the artists but one are put
ting in the rainbow. The one is
Matania of Italy and London. A

experience with this form of ad-
vertising to prove, beyond any
doubt, that newspapers are, I'M
questionably, the standard form
of advertising.
when you consider the num-
Der of newspapers that daily go
into the millions of homes and
how dependent We all are upon
them for the, worlds news, It
would be hard to depreciate their
value as an advertising medium.
After all, It's a simple matter Of
manufacturing a good article
and letting the people know the
truth about it."

Miss Deborah Smith sang 1.-THE
Holy City," with orchestral and
chorus accompaniment, and the
beautiful effect was greatly
heightened by well managed light
ing arrangements. An extra
scene in act six gave opportunity
for a group Of white-gowned
maidens to pantomime. THE Rock
OF Ages" as that famous hymn
was sung by Miss Valley Bigby.
Large credit for the production
is due w. G. Alexander Ball, di-
rector, and he and the students
were given AN enthusiastic re-
ception by the audience.
The full program will be re-
peated tonight.

ENGLISH PROUD OF
NEUVE CHAPELLE.
TOKEN OF VICTORY

1t. So now he is drawing pic
ture of a bursting shell with a
correspondent and artists running
away from the huge lily of mud.
A visit OF Neuve Chapelle is
bound to be full of incidents of
the sort that attracted Matania s
attention.
Crushed Like Egg Shell.
Neuve Chapelle is as thorough
ly destroyed as a crushed egg
shell. Its only streets are trenches,
its only houses are dugouts.
Death fills the space above the
trench line. shells criss-cross the
sky above it and burst In the
ruins. There's nothing more that
shell can do to Neuve Chapelle
except stir up the debris.
The shells have ransacked the
cemetery. blown open the graves,
scattered bits of collins and frag-
ments of bones over the demeterr
lawns and then churned the lawns
into mass of mud, bones, coffin
bits and fragments OF grave
stones.
Proof of PrOwess.
Neuve Chapelle has disappear
ed, but its name goes down into
history as the town which was
shelled by 600 cannon, as the
town which was fought for he
tween the English and the Ger
mans, at a cost of 100 lives for
every ruined house in it's streets.
The English prize Neuve Cha
pelle because it is a token OF
General French's proof that the
German, in trench, can be rout-
ed in an attack.
1.-The worlds better now" said
an English soldier to me in the
trenches this afternoon. I'VE had
stuck in our trenches month after
month wondering how strong the
fellow across the way really was
and now we know"

MEXICO BOASTS ONE.

II seems somewhat strange that
rest rooms or comfort stations are
not more generally provided in viii
lagos and small cities in which farm
ers and their families drive to trade.
Women, especially when children
are with them, are often inconven-
fenced by the lack of such places.
When tired with the shopping and
oftentimes affected by bad weather
the existence of such rooms provid-
ed by the business men or by the
municipality would indeed be boon.
Regarded from humanitarian
standpoint they make greatly Nfor
convenience and health. Regarded
as business proposition they pay,
for people are glad to trade in a
town where such privileges are
found. To be sure, the cost of pro-
viding and maintaining such rooms
is considerable, yet nothing to what
is often expended for institutions
or events that have no value, or at
the best only a passing value.
Warrenton Banner.
Mexico has a REST Room" all
right. And the people make use of
it too. Go after a rest room, you
other towns. You can get it. And
you'll be glad you are in it too.

BOY HAS MARROW ESCAPE.


(From the Centralla Guard.D
Last Thursday afternoon about
one o'clock Mrs, Reams, who lives
on the Mrs. Lucy sappington place,
northwest of Centralia, went out to
the barn to feed thorobred coon
dog that was kept there. She was
followed by her little four-year-old
son. After feeding the dog she re-
turned to the house, but was not &C
companied by the boy. After a
short while she looked out of "a
window toward the barn and saw
smoke coming out of the roof. Re-
membering that the child had
been out there she ran out and
searched the lower part of the barn
for the child. Not finding him she
went up into the loft, which was
only IA feet above the fround. The
hay was on fire and the boy had run
and covered in a corner away from
the fire. Mrs. Reams seized the
child and ran toward the ladder to
find that the flames had cut off that
means of escape. She ran to the
loft door and jumped out with the
child in her arms. Her dress was
on fire and her hair singed and by
the fall, but she saved the child. 1t
was a close call for both mother
and son.
1t is presumed the child had got
ten hold of some matches and after
following her to the barn had climb
ed up in the loft to strike the
match matches and had set the hay
on fire in a small loose pile. See
ing the magnitude of the fire hehad
started he ran to the corner and hid.
Only the fact that the mother hap
pened to look towadrdd the barn
when she did and saw the smoke, to-
gether with her prompt and heroic
action, saverd the child from the
same fate as the poor coon dog that
was burned up with the barn and
contents.
Wind carried sparks from the
burning barn and set two stacks of
hay and one stack of straw on fire,
and destoyed them. They were a
considerable distance away from the
burning barn.
