Somewhere In France.
All Sorts of Religious Services
In Camp. Five Meals a Day.


Last Friday evening the Baltimore Sun
contained portions of letter from Miss
Alice Wheeler, q Red Cross nurse now
in France. Miss Wheeler, of Baltimore,
and Miss Helen Albaugh. of Thurmont,
and both formerly of the Maryland Cen
eral hospital, are now connected with
Base Hospital No. 4, American Expedi-
tionary Forces, and it is surmised that
they are located near Paris. The letter
stated that they are on duty only eight
hours each day, that there are all kinds
of religious services held right at the
camp, and that every Wednesday free
concert is given by the best talent. Miss
Wheeler says in part,
"Now that am settled l will, by the
pen and ink route, pay you little visit, y
wrote Miss Wheeler.
81 often wish you could be out here
with u.s. At the present time we have a
sufficient number of nurses to make 1t
necessary that we work only eight hours
day, and you know how different that
is from the old life. We were given
plea SAINT surprise upon our arrival, for,
in addition to our salaries from Uncle
Sam, we were informed that we would
also receive an allowance from the Brit
ish Government.
Il wish that could describe the place,
for it is indeed beautiful. There is no
end of flowers. Yesterday being Sunday,
we had supper in our room, or house
should have said, for we, Miss Albaugh
and |, live in hut there being but one
room. Oh, the things we had! Lobster,
chicken, sardines, crackers, jam, pickles
and coffee. forgot to say we also had
flowers on the table. We did enjoy it so
much. am afraid you will not know
me when | return to good old U. S. A.,
for in addition to our regular three meals
a day we have coffee, bread and jam
about 10 a. m. and tea between and 5
o'clock. So you see that we really eat
five meals day.
GAS you know, we are not permitted
to discuss our work to any extent. We
were one month and three days on our
trip, and had a wonderful time The
Volunteer Aid Department nurses were
leaving and we got there in time to be
present at farewell party given them,
and also a reception which was rendered
u.s.
"And now in the way of diversion from
routine duties. There are all sorts of
religious services held right in the camp,
so there is no excuse for not going to
church. Every Wednesday we have
free concert in which some of the best
talent takes part. You would be sur
prised to see how crowded it is and how
early one has to go in order to get seat.
Nurses come from the other camps,
members of the Volunteer Aid Depart
ment. English Army officers and Sisters
of Mercy, and every one talks to the
person next to him and feels perfectly
proper in doing so. And, then, we are
only 20 minutes ride from the city.
Last week we explored it to our hearts
content, and the things we saw! So you
see it's impossible not to be satisfied.
Everybody is so nice. The girls here are
a splendid lot and l am certainly glad
that came"

FIND OUT THE PROFIT
AND LOSS ON Y UR FARM
Only IN This Way Can You Tell
How To Conduct Your
Business.

"Haye you set up your profit and loss
account for last year? Have you set
goal for 1s17--a goal for personal
business achievement" These are
questions asked by C. E. Alfred, Farm
Management Specialist, Division OF
Extension, University Of Tennessee
Knoxville.
Good farmers, hiEh.profit men, today
are thinking in the future-beyond the
present-in order to anticipate the op-
portunities and the difficulties 10
come. Good farmers, in determining
plans for future advancement, likewise
give the closest of consideration to re-
suits already achieved.
Adequate plans for your coming year
call for just as careful survey or the
past, and just as definite chartlng
of the future as the high-price farmer
makes. Proper planning really means
more to you than to him, for you stake
your whole future on one thing-your
success in efficiently handling what
you already have.
In the first place, what about your
actual advancement during the past
year? Have you received an increase
in profits? Have you improved and
increased your farm business?
II not, what has been the reason?
Are you prepared for advancement?
Have you been able to analyze your
own problems?
Make just such a mental review. De.
termine your present standing and
your possibilities for advancement
Take an inventory of your farm bust
ness. Get good record book and fol-

problems and find their solution
