Cured, Flshall write in following ar

environs Of La Panne. some of the
places we were privileged to visit. 3,
We, were in possession Of several
letters of introduction to high ON
cials, given US by Madame Wander
velde, and these opened many doors
of opportunity to us. In company OF
one captain Of the engineers. was
taken one day in his car to visit the
little "Jardin Marie Jose", At Vinck-
EN-. This is little school In which
are housed over $50 children ranging
from infancy to eight years Of age.
These children are the proteges Of
the queen, and have been gathered by
her from all the homes in range Of the
shells, or in the line Of fire. Many Of
these children are orphans with homes
destroyed by the enemy, ana these lit
tic innocent victims are kept here by
Her Majesty. So near they are to the
firing line that the boom Of the can
non Is constantly in their ears, and
only the slender line of trenches man.
ned by their fathers and brothers, pro-
tect these babies from the destruction
that has befallen their homes.
The little school Is formed Of diff
ferent units built all on the ground
floor, and simply but most comfortably
furnished. Each child had its own
little crib bed and one unit was set
apart for a school room, on the kin
dergarten plan, with tiny chairs, etc.
Then there were playrooms and din
ing room, but all so dainty and COM
Portable that one could see in all the
hand Of the queen in even the small
est detail. We saw many toys, that
kind friends had contributed. One
generous gift Of toy swords was do
mated by President Poncare.
In the little kitchen the kindly ma
tron showed me the heaps Of bread
and butter already prepared for the
children's evening meal and spied on
a shelf several boxes Of Quaker Oats.
"Oh yes, the children love that dear
ly," she told me, as ! drew her at
tention to them. That night when I
got back to La Panne I sat down and
wrote letter to Mr. Crowell, pres
ident of the Quaker Oats Co., who
happens to be our good friend. AS a
sequel, might tell you, that thanks
to his kindly interests I have just
been enabled to send to the queen for
the "Jardin Marie Jose," almost ton
of Quaker Oats, and have received a
letter from Her Majesty telling me
how deeply touched she has been by
this gift, and that she Is giving the
gift to the children in our name.

What sickness has been among the

Major Utley sent a good likeness Of

he would have his friends here be-
lieve he shot with his army rife. We
had supposed that Major Utley went

the Philistines and his betrothal. On
the way to the marriage he Stays a

Manager Braman, OF the Jerome
. COOPERATIVE Creamery, may well
: feel elated over the returns received
from the last shipment OF butter
made to Spokane. Several shipments
have heretofore been shipped to that
market, and as result our butter
has already won reputation on that
market to such an extent that the re-
turns from the last shipment show
that jerome butter topped the mar
ket, bringing one cent per pound
above the market price.
Accompanying these returns was a
letter from a large buyer Of butter
in that market, In which he speaks
in the highest terms of the Jerome
butter, and pays high compliment
to the butter maker, and that the
Jerome butter will always find q
ready market in Spokane.
This should, indeed, be a source of
pride to every stakeholder In the Je-
rome Creamery, and should encour-
age the patrons to take particular
care In marketing only the best Of
cream. The report as given last
week makes a wonderful showing
for a new creamery, without any rep
utation established for It's product,
and from present appearances this
record will be surpassed the present
month. The people of Jerome and
the surrounding country should feel
proud of their creamery, as the ex-
cellent quality of the product turned
out will put the name of Jerome be-
fore many who have never heard OF
US before. 1t would seem that the
directors made no mistake in their
choice of butter maker in the per-
son of Mr.. Braman, and equipping
the creamery with the best machin-
cry that could be procured, and II
now rests with the farmers in this
section to make this creamery the
most successful of any In the state
