The fly is a right persistent little worker LinHaeus, the celebrated Swe- dish naturalist, saw one of the flies which attack cattle follow reindeer drawing sled an entire day. The fly flew almost. continuously by it's side watching for the moment when it might introduce one of its eggs beneath the skin. I have seen horseflies follow a horse for miles.

Home Economics Meetings.

The meat canning and War Bread De-
monstrations which were held in six
different centers last week were a de-
cided success. These demonstrations
were conducted by Miss Gertrude
Erickson, a specialist from the State
Department and Miss Frances E. Ger
Der, County Home Demonstration
Agent.
Nearly two hundred women attended
the meetings, When crowd of thirty
busy women can be secured for one de-
monstratlon at nine O'Clock in the
morning it is indeed most gratifying.
The meats which were canned were
beef, pork, sausage, chicken and rab-
bit. The war breads demonstrated
were those in which corn meal, whole
wheat, rye and oatmeal were used in
different combinations.
Bulletins and recipes on the above
work will gladly be.sent to those who
desire them.

ALL-AMERICA ARMY IN FRANCE.

With National Guard units from
every state in the Union IN France it
may be said that the United States as
whole is actively in the war. The
news from the American Army Head
quarters abroad puts a new thrill into
every corner of our country. 1t will be
a new stimulus to effort to win. 1t will
spur every loyal citizen to fresh en-
deavors in support of the government;
to more eager sacrifice and labor in con-
tribution to the safety and comfort Of
our boys who are carrying Old Glory
under the guns OF the enemy. Pennsyl-
wanna and Oregon, Maine and New
Mexico, Florida and the Dakotas and
every other one Of the AZ states, each
represented by q white star in the field
of blue, have sons with Pershing How
much closer that brings the war to all
of US! What a unifying feeling that
gives US! The common interest which
we have felt all along, rather vaguely
as to some it must be confessed, has be-
come vitalized'with the knowledge that
cover there" the boys of the whole ma
ton are sharing whatever may be their
lot for all of US at home. There are no
sections represented in Pershing's
army; there can be no sectionalism in
the sentiments of US at home They
are all Americas boys under the Stars
and Stripes in France. They make up
an All-American army. We must be
an All-American people back of them.
That means we must exert ourselves to
the utmost limit of our means and
capabilities to support them and bring
victory swiftly to their arms.
Very wise was.the decision to send
units from every state to France. A
thin line the National Guardsmen will
make, as armies go today, but what a
mighty force to bind our nation to a
holy purpose.

THANKSGIVING At
CAMP GORDON
Soldiers Have A Feast Of Good
Things.
CAMP GORDON, GA
Nov. 18th, 1917.


Nov. 18th, 1917.
Dear Garrett county Friends:
This is Thanksgiving day and a beau
tiful day at that, after little rain last
night. We feel that we must tell our
friends how We are enjoying ourselves
today.
This is early in the afternoon and our
belts are rather tight after our large
Thanksgiving dinner. It is so seldom
we get such big dinner in the army
that we cannot help tell our friends
what consisted Of The menu was as
follows: Turkey, dressing, gravy, mash
ed potatoes, corn, cold slaw, celery,
coffee, cranberry sauce, pumpkin and
mince pie, ice cream, oranges, cigars,
etc. How many can beat that for
Thanksgiving dinner?
Billy Sunday made quite hit with
the soldier boys at our camp auditorium
this morning. Many of the boys had
heard Billy before in other states,
therefore he received many cheers and
was welcomed by all. Ma Sunday also
gave US little talk. Rodeheaver, the
choir leader, made hit with his from
bone and singing.
The Y. M. C. A. Hostess house, which
is erected close to the auditorium, was
dedicated this morning. Rev. William
Sunday gave the dedicatory address.
Here the mother can meet her soldier
boy; the wife her soldier husband; and
friend her soldier friend. They are
serving light lunch to all the soldiers
this afternoon. There were athletic
meets between different company's of
each regiment in Hhich quite number
took part. There are Thanksgiving ser
vices in all the Y. M. c. A. buildings
this evening.
Some of our Garrett county boys that
had the measles are well again. and so
far as we know ali the boys are getting
along fine.
We will close with best wishes to all.
Yours respectfully,
AUGUST F. NEIL.
