YANKEE BATTALION
HAS DIXIE COMPANY

Toronto, Dec. 10.-According ~
announcement which has just been
made by Lieut.-Col B. ]. Mccormick,
officer commanding the 213th Bat
talon, which has its slogan the
phrase. every man American from
the colonel to the cook" there will be
a 'Dixie Company" in his unit.
Finding that there was good deal
of resentment among the men of the
American Legion, who were so often
called "The Yanks" which is the Can
adam designation for everything
south of their border1 line, Colonel
Mccormick inquired into the case and
found that about one man in every
three in his command were from
south OF "The Mason and Dixon line"
and naturally, being southerners, the
word yankee" did not appeal to
them. He struck upon the idea of or
ganizing a Dixie Company, and when
this plan was announced, all the
southern men were certainly enthusi-
astic
In the legion there is a rule that
the officers are promoted from the
ranks, and it was found possible to
officer the Dixie Company by south
ern men who had thus won their COM
missions. In Canada battalion is
composed of 1900 men, this being d.
vided into 4 companies of 300 each,
and it is hoped that very soon the
Dixie Company can be brought up to
full strength. There are about rs
places in it which are still open to
Southerners who believe in real lib
erty and want to fight for it.

When Rosa, SHUTS mama, saw
him lying beside his white, pink
nosed sister. she stamped her foot
and hunted him away.
Poor little Smut He Rolled over,
got upon his four weak little legs
and cried terribly. But with Rosa
There was never another such lamb
as the little pink messed sister. She
would not Let him come near her.
He would have Jared very poorly
indeed if Nellie hadn't seen it all.
BUT she cuddled and petted him to
his heant's content.
She fed him warm milk from her
own silver spoon until he became
stronger and could drink from the
bright new basin papa bought for
him.
Dean me, said mama. THAT lamb
is a nuisance. He is worse than a
goat.
Let Nellie have him., said papa.
Ard so Smut staid, and grew so fast
and SO pretty that even his mother
was glad to make friends with him.
iii One night in the fall Smut was
sleeping in his bed of hay in the
corner of the barn, when a light
suddenly awakened him.

was. 1t was growing warmer, too.
Perhaps summer was coming back.

bers and went out to have run
with Rover on the lawn.
But Rover would not go. He ram
around in the grass, sniffing as he
always did when he smelled some-
timing. This way and that he lodged
and parked eXcitedly as much as to
say, Come here, quick, Jennie. I've
found something.
Jennie ran to see and what do
you think it was. A poor little tat
tered nest with four little robins
spilled all out in the wet grass;
and they all opened their mouths
when they saw her as if expecting
worm.
The old robins were dashing about
overhead, and now and then diving
down in great distress. Something
must he done at once on Dinah, the
cat, would eat the whole family for
breakfast.
Jennie ram to find something to
put the little birds in. There was
her little work basket, it had once
been strawberry basket, but she
had lined ii with red cloth and put
red bows on the corners. 1t was
quite a sacrifice to give lit to the

Jennie Grover, and tumbled YOU out

severely.
And she replied by taking the
basket and some stout string, and
tying it securely TO the branches of
the maple tree. Then one by one
she carried the birds UP and put
them into their new home.
The old birds, after perking their
heads on one side and carefully
looking the odd little house over
seemed TO decide that it was just
what they needed for their homeless
family, and began carrying worms
as fast as their wings could fly.
