STITCH IN Time SAVES NINE
Just as True in Road Dragging as il
Fence Repairing and Other Work
Around the Farm.

(By M. A. r. KELLY, Missouri Collegt
of A~gricultVre.)
"A stitch in time saves nine" is just
as true in road dragging as in fence
fixing and other farm work. Don't lei
the rush of farm work aus you to
neglect road dragging until the ruts
are so deep and the weeds have such
a start that the drag cannot do its
best work. A little careful work now
and during the remainder of the sea
son will not only keep the roads ir
good shape but keep down the weed,
in such a way to save a great deal OF
work at Woodworking time.

There is an old saying that "a stitch

forcibly to keeping up roads. When 8

wait for the other fellow to do it, be
cause a rain may come along before
the fellow does, and by washing the

and increase the draft of the wagon

Automobiles suffer more than wag

for the junk heap.

THE CoURANT receives week
ly a press clipping sheet from
the Wholesale Liquor Dealers
association, with a request to
use from it freely. We speak
for over l., 100, 600 distillers,
dealers and employees engaged
in the liquor business ex.
plains the editor of the clip
sheet. This publicity bureau
apparently devotes its entire
attention to digging up evil
dences that liquor is consumed
in dry territory. This is fea
tured as incontrovertible proof
that prohibition is a failure and
that all restrictions of the sale
of liquor should be abolished.
The point, however, does not
seem to be we'll taken. We
may as we'll argue that there
should be no laws against muir
der, because in spite of this,
murder is committed daily.
We might contend that our
game laws should be repealed
because they are frequently
violated. The booze publicity
bureau is hard put for copy
however and has to make the
most out of a lettering cause.

avoid any attitude of the professional
heroine. Their aim is to pass into the
ranks as men and very often the sex Of
the girl fighter is discovered only when
she has been seriously wounded or killed.
Before the fall OF Warsaw the Russian
military authorities sent back to her
family q Young girl Of Tchita who had
followed the Serbian troops all the way
from the Trans Baikal. This young girl
of nineteen, Maria Milakeva had pa ssed
six months in the trenches under FIRE.
Another case was that of Rima, who
lived with her father in an obscure coun-
try town. After eighteen months in the
army she became a sergeant in a cavalry
regiment and fought brilliantly in Ca
licia until she fell mortally wounded
while leading an assault on the enemy
trenches by the survivors Of the Orcn-
burg reEiment after all the other officers
had been killed.

Still we were able to gather up part
of her remains" said Zoe with great
tenderness in her tones "On the follow
ing morning when the bOmbardment
ended we all gathered around the place
where Zena had been killed and we
searched for her bones and placed them
in a tomb hurredly made.
We wrote on the cross: 'Zena Moro

ars old, killed during the battle Of

far away and l do not exactly remember
the spot where the tomb of Zena is. 1t
as down in the great mountains of the
Carpathans."
After the death of Zena others Of the
friends were wounded one after the
other. Nadia, Jenia and Choura. Zoe
herself was wounded twice in the leg
and once in the side. The wounds we're
so serious that each time she was left
unconscious on the field of battle and
was found later only by accident by the
ambulance department.
After the second wound she had to
pass a month in the hospital Then she
started again for the front to look for
her regiment and her friends But when
she arrived at the trenches she found
other Russian soldiers whom she did not
know.
In her embarrassment the young girl
for the first time since the beginning of
the war lost control Of herself and burst
into tears, thus Unexpectedly revealing
her sex. The soldiers looked with dis
trust upon this strange young woman
wearing the chevrons of a sergeant and
decorated with the Cross of st. George
who was shedding tears without appar-
ent motive. But the girl showed her
papers and established her right to wear
the cross and the suspicious and anxious
looks with which she was first received
were exchanged for kindness and defer
ence.
One of the officers later on urged Zoe
to leave the trenches at least for a time
and devote herself to hospital work Aft
er some hesitation she consented and
now she is working at a lazaretto behind
the Russian lines.
The sad part of it is that she has had
no news from her friends. What has
become of them, whittier has fortune
brought them, toward the tomb or to
glory, and what has the blind law which
guides shrapnel and explosive shells and
bullets done to them? These are ques-
lions which Zoe anxiously asks but she
receives no answer.

girls in the turmoil of war had almost
had a girls name but each was known
as man and they completely became
accustomed to military life. The Rus
sian soldiers in their presence were cour-
teOus and did nothing to offend them.
The battles in which they continued to
take part were sanguinary, especially
when in the late spring the Germans
having brought up their heavy artillery
toward the Carpathians began to attack
the Russian army with their famous
phalanxes. The fighting was a veritable
hell, hell out of which the girls could
hardly hope to come forth unframed.
1T must have been dreadful" said an
officer who was listening to the nara
tive. Were you afraid?"
Yes" replied Zoe simply, how
could one not be afraid? When the Ger
mans began to send their great shells in
our direction several others of US could
not control ourselves and we shouted
out
What did you shout?''~
I'VE shouted 'mother!' Chopra did

youngest of US and at that time were
only a little over fourteen years of age,
and they were constantly thinking of
their mother. l must say that l myself,
l believe, shouted out the same thing.
In fact, we all cried out. The men also
were afraid"

Zoe with sad smile. THAT is what 1
