Two men were talking. Edwardes

to during those rare minutes when

to crouch in the water at the end of
the sap, waiting until the time came
for a resumption of the work. The
German was situated more FORUM

He could not hear the voices of his
own men. They had retired to the

. THE GOD OF BATTLES


BY Frank Filson
Edwardes, listening, could plainly
hear the sound of the German saps
being driven toward the Canadian
trenches. 1t was eerie, listening
there by the light of the electric
torch, burrowing like mole beneath
the slushy Flanders soil and crouch
ing knee-deep in water, to prevent
striking his head against the tim
bered roof
He wondered often whether the
Germans had heard him. Each side
was projecting a sap against the
trenches of the enemy. When the
saphead was ready hundreds of
pounds of gunpowder would be ig-
nited; there would be a devastating
explosion, and the trenches, dam
aged beyond repair, would be occu-
pied by the troops behind.
1t was thus race between the Ca
nadians and the Germans. The sap,
extended outward from the Canadian
lines, was now parallel with that of
the enemy, and the extremity of each
was barely a dozen yards from that
of the other.
The sappers were resting in the
traverse behind. Edwardes sat alone
in the water, figuring out the plan.
So many yards, so many cubic feet

to Canada; those who did would be
crippled beyond repair.
AS he crouched there to his aston
ishment he found that he could hear
the voices of the Germans. There

Danger In Delay

Kidney Diseases Are Too Dangerous
For Colfax People to Neglect.
The great danger of kidney troubles
is that they SO often get a firm hold
before the sufferer recognizes them.
Health will be gradual undermined.
Backache, headache, nervousness,
lameness, soreness, lumbago, urinary
troubles, dropsy, gravel and Bright's
disease may follow as the kidneys get
worse. Don't neglect your kidneys.
Help the kidneys with Doan's Kidney
Pills, which are SO strongly recon-
mended right here in Colfax.
Mrs. w. C. Williams, Colfax, says:
1--WE have used Doan's Kidney Pills in
our family for years and have found
that they live up to the claims made
for them. One of us had doctored and
tried most everything for kidney COM

Cut Your Store Bill
Down One Half

Tens of thousands of farmers as well as
town and city folks cut down their store
bills one-half last year and saved money
in spite of generally short crops and re-
duced wages.
Absolutely millions of dollars were
saved and countless families lived better
than ever before in the face of the cotton
crisis and general business depression.
How were these burdensome store bills
cut down? By the real money-saving
power of good home gardens, rightly
planted and kept planted and tended
through the season.
Hastings 1916 Seed Catalogue tells how
to cut store bills down; tells. about gar
den and farm seeds of kinds and quail
ity that cannot be bought from your mer-
chant or druggist. It's full of garden and

Use Pceans for Shade Trees.

Every farmer of the costal re-
gicn who has not planted pecan
trees is not living up to his best
opportunities. There is no shade
or lawn trees to be found any,
where that is handsomer than
the pecan tree, and none that
better sets off farm buildings and
makes a place home-like, attract
i've and salable. But besides be-
ing a thing of beauty, a pecan
tree is a good revenue produces
which will add materially to
farm proceeds. The pecan will
grow on any land of the South
that will produce good corn or
cotton. The trees should be set
not less than so feet apart. The
wide middles between the rows
can be used to advantage for the
raising of a variety of cultivated
crops. The fertilizer and cult
walton given these inter crops
will keep the pecans in a thrifty
and growing condition. After
four or five years the trees will
be showing few nuts, and by
the time they are ten or twelve
years old they will be able to use
all the land and give paying crops
for its use. The Progressive
Farmer.
