How 1 Raised Ny Potatoes

Il made my rows three feet apart
and planted the potatoes twelve
inches apart and five inches deep.
Il narrowed them twice before they
came up. then | began cultivating
them soon after the vines began to
grow
II have learned that cultivation Is
very important, also that seed pota-

Red Cross Membership.

President wilson has called at
tention again to the fact that the
American Red Cross organization
is the only official channel
through which aid may be given
10 the armies at the front and in
preparation for service.
This organization is made up
of Nolunteers--people who will
lingly contribute ST or more an
nually for this relief work and
those who will give some of their
time to the collection and prepar-
alton of supplies.
The Red Cross is thoroughly
non political and non-sectarian.
1t is purely American and wholly
patriotic. It's one aim and pur-
pose is the coordination of all
do something for America in her
hour of need. Ii is designed to be
literally union of all who love
America in the service OF all who
suffer and serve the country.
The Red Gross organization is
adjusted to meet the needs of ey-
cry individual who desires to do
something to help the country. If
you wish to give money every
penny turned into this organiza-
ton will buy service wholly COM
mensurate with the sacrifice. IF
you want TO do some work at
home the Red Cross. will furnish
you the material. If you can help
secure members there is a wide
field of usefulness in this direc-
ton. If you want some primary
knowledge of nursing the Red
Gross has its classes.--Nonpareil.

Great Lakes, Illinois.
May 16, 1917.
Dear Mr.. Fanger and Clerks: I
larrived here a week ago this
morning. The future looked pref
ty dark the first two days. The
first night we had to sleep on
wooden floor without any covers
at all. We had to do this on ac-
count of a shortage OF bed cloth
ing and cots. The government
is not prepared for such a large
number OF recruits. The place
where we get off is called the de-
tention camp. All the recruits
are re-examined and vaccinated.
We came over to the regular
training camp last Thursday and
ever since then we have been liv-
ing pretty good. We have have
camp with five fellows in each
| tent. We each have cots, mat
tresses and blankets and we get
along pretty good.
Yesterday all the fellows in the
camp were given hypodermic
Injection for typhoid fever. We
get three of them. The first one
we get ten drops of serum and the
second one 20 drops and the last
one 30 drops. 1t does not hurt
much only it makes your arm
lawfully stiff and sore.
Lot of the boys wished they
were home, but don't. We have
a good place to sleep and lots of
good clean food. What more
would person want? There is
store in camp where you can
buy anything at cost. There is
also a Y. M. C. A. and moving
picture show which you can see
free of charge. q.
1t seems kind Of funny, though.
Everybody has TO be in bed by 9
o'clock and has to get up at $
every morning. You can go to
church. Sunday. and there's moth
ing to do at all Saturday and Sun
day but eat and sleep.
One of the, petty officers came
around this morning and inspect
ed our tents and also told us to
get up baseball team out Of our
company, because there is going
to be a baseball league formed.
Every Thursday is called Flight
Day" In the afternoon every
body gets around the ring and
there are lots of prize fights. If
any of the officers see a couple
of fellows chewing the rag or
fighting they make them fight it
out with boxing gloves on Thurs
day afternoon. Last Thursday
one fellow hit the other so hard it.
broke his arm The most of them
go in for blood. now, believe me.
One big fellow about the size Of
Jess Willard got knocked out cold
in the seventh round this week,
That is no place for me at all. All
the fights are not grudge fights.
III a couple want to box they go
IN the ring and box The one that
wins gets a lhirty-six hour leave
from Saturday at 4:::3O and must
be back on Monday morning at
500. Anybody that has a full
blue uniform can get shore
leave" every week.
How is business getting along?
Your sale is to last till the 10th.
When you answer this, / would be
much Obliged if you would tell me
who got the Ford. Tell all the
clerks hello and also tell them all
to write to me. must close and
go to mess"
Yours respectfully.

TOLEDO BOY BACK FROM
WAR, NOW IN AUGUSTA,
BEARS SCARS OF BATTLE

A young man who has done his bit
for the cause of the allies and who
bears honorable scars as souvenirs of
the conflict with the kaiser's forces is
Melvin Ward, aged 10, who a few DAYS
ago took a position as fireman at the
Augusta House. Young Ward, whose
home is in Toledo, Ohio, enlisted in
November 1915, with the 9Sth Bat
talon of the Canadian Expeditionary
force.
He saw six months of active service
on the western front and participant
ed in the battle Of Helms, which. he
says, was the most important and
bloodiest engagement in which he took
part. In this battle a bullet pierced
his left hand, and a piece of shrapnel
lodged in his left ankle. For several
months subsequently he was a hos
p1tal patient, first in France and later
in England.
In time the wounds healed, and he
was anxious to get back on the firing
line, but after being examined was in
formed that his lungs were not in such
condition as to warrant his return TO
the trenches.
Ward displayed to the reporter a big
American flag design tattoed on his
left forearm, and remarked with a
smile: There was one American flag
at the front, anyhow" Before com
ing to Maine, Ward passed consider
able time in Canada. He is anxious
to get back to his home in Toledo. and
Will probably make the trip before
many weekes have elapsed.
