PATRIOTIC HENS RAISE
THEIR OWN WAR GARDEN

Mansfield. GA. A. Arnold,
superintendent of parks, has a
flock of Rhode Island hens that
planted cultivated and raised
war garden that produced O
peck of potatoes. The largest
potato weighed II ounces, the
next one 10 ounces.
The owner says that when po-
tatoes were selling for $4.25 q
bushel last spring his wife was
so economical she pared the po-
tatoes as thin as she possibly
could, then fed the thin parings
to the chickens. Instead of eat
ing the parings, the chickens
planted them in the barnyard.
All summer long the fowls not
only kept the weeds down in
their war garden, but kept the
bugs off. These patriotic chick
ems did their bit to win the war
by raising "a potatoes from
three stalks that came up from
the thin parlngs which they con-
served.

PERSHING'S COMMAND DRILL IN SEA OF MUD;
 FRENCH PRAISE MEN

American Training Camp in France, July 20-Construction of field and base hospitals, for the American scl- diers has commenced. Rainy weather is giving the troops some discomfort. but they are kept hard at work drill- ing and may be seen daily plodding through sloppy roads and muddy fields.
 The French officers are delighted with the appearance of the Ameri- cans They decare tf1e United States soldiers are the. finest specimens of manhood seen among al the armies of Europe.
 General Sibert, second in command. has arrived to make his first general inspection of the camp.
 The generosity of the French has put the American army officials in q ouandry Tn addition to the gifts of ham and jam to the Americans on Bastile Day, the French have give1 the Americans one quart of cham pagnes for every four men, and haf a lltre of red wine for each man as an expression of friendship.
 The American officials. while ap- preciating deeply the spirit of the gift. have been unable to decide whether to> give the wine to the men.
 The gift has raised the question as to what course shall be pursued when it drinking water cannot be obtained. It is being considered carefully by the officers in charge.

ToDAYs ANNIVERSARIES.

Students of the Bible generally place the subsiding of the great flood at about the end of July. It is said that on or about July 21, in the year 1756 B. c. the ark was opened to re7 lease it's inhabitants, which was forty days after the appearance of the tops of the mountains. It was on July z1, 17ss, that the Battle of the Pyramids was fought. Murad was defeated by the French under Napoleon, with the loss of forty cannon, many cam els and their whole baggage and pro visions. It was in this battle that the great Corsican won for himself the name of King of Fire" among the Mohamedans. This victory re- suited in the conquest of all of lower Egypt. Everybody knows the fa- nous mechanical figures that play chess and defeat the greatest experts. The inventor of these, or rather the man who improved them, John MaeIzel ,an ingenious German mechanician, died on July 21, 1898. He visited many countries of Europe sna Auisrara w.t.l isae autoln~..o chess player and improved it by giv- ing it the power of mechanical speech.

MARRIAGE OF MRS. HORTON.

In October. 1771, the Duke of Cumberland, brother of George III married the Hon. Mrs. Horton. George III did not know of it until a month later when he was informed by letter from Calais. The king was furious and subsequently, caused the passage of the Royal Marriage Act, designed to prevent similar alliances. Cumberland the year before had made himself disagreeably conspics- ous by figuring as correspondent in a divorce case in which the wife of Earl Grosvenor was the principal fig- ure. It is said he married her only after having failed to win her on ''easier terms This Mrs Horton should not be confused with Anna bella Horton, who was the mistress of the Duke of Grafton.

CONCLUSIONS

Her battle cry in August 1914, was: 'sweltmacht oder Niedergang" (world dominion, or downfall). Thus in her mad pride she avowed her purpose to dominate the world.
 By the war of 1870 against France she consolidated the South German Confederation into the German Elm pire.
 Her essential purpose in the pres .ent war is to clinch her present hold on the vast and continuous domains of Austria Hungary the Balkans and Turkey.
 If Prussia can do this he will in reality have won the war even though she retire from France, Belgium and Poland and indemnify them She will have won because she will have in creased her autocratic dominion from less than seventy million people to over one hundred and seventy million --an increase by the present war equal to the population of the United s Then at her chosen moment again she will attack, perhaps with new all lies, to make complete in both hemi- t heres her world dominion. Her his- tory and her present announcements both forecast this as her intent
 Her present peace talk and her fu- ture talk is and will be solely to pre- serve her present dominion.
 For American and for her Allies to make peace until we have broken for ever this dominion which Prussia has won in the present war would be to bequeath to our children the certainty of still greater and more horrible war followed by letters such as she Is now attempting to rivet on her aI- lies.
 Therefore we must carry on this war, without one thought of peace, until we shave shattered the grip of Prussia on Austria Hungary, the Bal kans and Turkey for all time. If we do not carry on this war to this end our grandsons will be the con- script soldiers of Prussia to help her conquer Asia or Africa or else our grandsons alone will have to defend their land against Prussia and her Asiatic or African allies of the future l To end the world warning of Prus- l sia the web she eNhas woven from Ham 1 burg to Bagdad must be shattered l through force of arms supplemented l by intelligent diplomacy.
 It is necessary to the safety ol America as it is to that of her Allie. I that we realize that now this war il I our war as fully as it is their war 4 that we all fight it with all our migh
 to the only end which will make tn, world safe for democracy.

WOMEN IN GREAT
 NUMBERS ARET0
 MAKE A|RPLANES
Experts State That in This New Field, the Women
 Excel Males

The war has opened up new field for women, in some departments Of which their work is so superior to Nmens that they will soon have monopoly Women have been found to excel in making the wings and wing surfaces of airplanes and with this country pledged to build immense fleets of aircraft, their work will be vitally important in winning the war. At the Plainffeld, N. J., plant of the Standard Aero Corporation, which ob- tained the first large war order of airplanes for the government, more than 60 per cent. of the employees mak- ing wings are women. Harry Bowers Mingle, president, told yesterday why his company preferred women for this work.
 Preparing the linen wing surfaces and making the wings," he said, is light work requiring delft fingers and close application. It Is ideal work for
 women-the very characteristics of their sex make them superior to men.
 Before undertaking the manufac- xure of airplanes in, large quantities such as the government demands. we thoroughly investigated the question
 of labor We found that women were
 extensively used in England and France in making wings and that they
 had proved to be better at this work
 than men. We soon satisfied our
 selves that this was the correct prac- tice and stanted to employ women for
 the same class of work. In very
 short time we found that the women
 were better workmen than the men and will soon be employing 800 of
 them at Jour Plainfield plant alone. We found the women to be painstak- ing and fast in their work and in ad- dition, they are precise, which means
 much when they are doing the highest grade work.
 f Soon we will be employing women in other departments. Our superin- tendent wants to have at least 35 per cent of the machine shop work done by women and will put that many at work as soon as the shops are enlarged. With their light touch and careful manipulation of sensitive machines, women are admirably adap- ted to much of the light machine work ldone on airplanes and it is probable that we will have thousands working on our airplanes before many months Of course. we have made special ac- commodations for the women but this slight cost is forgotten in the adnvan-
 tage of employing them
 Airplane manufacturer all over the country are employing women and the thousands of airplanes that will carry the Stars and Stripes over the battle fields of Europe. will represent the work of the women of this country.

HE WHO CARES MORE FOR
 HIS. GIRL THAT HIS JOB

Sad it may be to the longing, with
 patience faint anH weary,
 For a deferred hone-and sadder
 still, to see it fade and fall.
 Yet to grasp the thing we long for, I and with sorrow sick and dreary
 Then to find how it can fail us, Is
 the saddest grief of all"
 Life usually goes on smoothly and
 contentedly for young man. until he meets the one girl of all others who appeals to him. From that time on, 1 his hopes and ambitions are apt to
 undergo a sudden change. The ques- ltion that confronts him is no longer 1 what he has decided to become It resolves into what she wishes him to
 be. More often than not, when he al- lows her to decide his future career. tshe makes a mess of it. How can an inexperienced girl judge accurately l that for which he is best suited? Only the man himself can judge that wisely.
 Suppose he las the earnest desire and capability to become an expert mechanic, and likes the calling. The girl whom he loves takes a decided dislike to his working as a mechanic. She sets her heart upon his being great actor. He knows full well there's nothing of genius about him. But under the infuenqe and pressure of her will. regretfuHy he turns from the shop to the stage. His girl is worth more to him than the job he has just given up. It doesn't take. him long to find out that he is in the wrong atmosphere. Nor does 1t take long for the girl whom he is engaged to, to become dissatisfied with that line of worv. She wanted to see him a great actor yet she had lost sight of the facts that he would be thrown in contact with the prettiest of stage beauties. She did not breathe freely until he throw 1ug, this position and sought another kind. s
 She thought she would like to see him in the natty, brass Ibuttoneds suit of a car sconductor. Tn this he was seemingly an that her ardent fancy painted him. She soon found, how ever, that that line of work had its drawbacks. His duty called for long hours and he could not even be sure of his evenings. There was an empty chair in her parlof, many time when she had looked fdrward to his com ling. If there's anything that dissat- isdSS woman it is the loss of her tswðeart's society. She, concluded that line of employment would not do at afl Sne suggests that he take a position as boo1keeper, on finding out he had taken up a course of that study while attending night school. He was not safe there. The desk at his right was occupied by a pretty blonde stem ographer he mentioned; while an equally attractive brunette was as- signed the position of assistant to him. The sweetheart who has moro lJealcusy than wisdom in her make up knows little heart-ease until she has persuaded him that bookkeeping Is not his forte. At last, the man is obliged to asserts himself, declaring: iI realize the work I am fitted for ibetter than you do, Mary Every man i should work along the line of what he can do best. If you take me, you must take my jcb along with me- I|No man should quit his vocation, if 1t was good one, and an honest one, to satisfy a woman's whims It's the
