'HOW ARE PILLS DOING?"
AMERICAN IN FRANCE ASKS
Ambulance Driver in Letter Tells How
Yankees Celebrated Fourth by
Bombing Germans

The youths that are In the trenches with
the American Ambulance Corps, in spite OF
their daily arduous tasks, find time to con-
slider the lighter things of life, as is shown
IN an interesting letter to Charles M
Baudiere from Bert Crowhurst, son of
Assistant Manager Crowhurst. Of the Hotel
Walton. Almost the first thing that young
Crowhurst desired to know was how are
the Phillies doing?'
According to the letter the men in tha
trenches are sure that the Allies will soon
be victorious. particularly SO with the aid
Of the United States troops. who are soon
to be at the front.
The hardships that the Ambulance
drivers are called upon to ra4e make thep,
quite expert In the handling Of the vehicles.
the writer states He described one incl
dent where a machine, after hitting two
trees. jumped a ditch and turned turtle
was repaired and put In shape for service
in tho remarkably quick time of three
hours. Crowhurst himself did the repair
work.
During the night, he wrote, the star
Hight shells and batteries light uy the
heavens and make a beautiful sight The
British forces, he said. are using many
more shells than any other on the whole
front.
The news of the landing Of the United
States troops in France was received In the
trenches the day before the Fourth of July,
and to make the Fourth seem homelike a
number of the Americans went into the
trenches and slung a number of hand
0Tenades at tho Germans.

STRANGE ADVENTURES
OF BILLY BUMPUS
THE FAT LADY
BY Farmer Smith

The first night Billy Bumpus was with
the circus. he spent most of the time in
thinking about his life In the army and
wishing he were back.
There are SO many funny things here
which make me laugh while want TO be a
soldier or sailor" Billy stopped at the
thought. The very first chance 1 get,
l am going to run away and Join the navy
/ bet that Is lot Of fun"
By this time It was sunrise and every.
thing was hustle about the circus. BilIv
thought 1t reminded him little of the army.
and as he thought this he went forth to
nnd some one to talk to. At last he came
to Mister Elephant who was eating hay and
swinging from side to side
Billy Bumpus stood In front of Mister
Elephant and swayed to and fro also. and
this attracted the attention of the big
fellow who said
Hello. goat!"
"oh. Mister Elephant, you are so grand.
Billy.
II didn't know that you would consider
eating hay as do" said the Elenhant
What will you do for me?"
II will do almost anything for you
Mister Elephant" replied Billy.
Have you been In the side show g. +. v., ,..

find you out sooner or later, and II I trv

to catch It myself"
"All right, II you are coward then
say So" answered the big fellow.
mo one is a coward when he does what
is right-what he thinks is right. THAT fat
lady has done nothing to me; whv should

Billy looked at the monster who was inst
about to sneeze.
'Look-look- OUT" Just then IN. p,.-
plant sneezed and Billy thought a small
cyclone had struck him. When he cot
his breath once more he trotted of in the
direction OF the side show The big fel.
low shouting after him:
"Good-by. coward"
Billy soon came to where the side sbow
was located, In front and to the side of ths

MRS. STOKES ENTERTAINs.

Marietta's Wednesday bridge club
had the time of its life last week
when Mrs. J. w. Stokes entertained
1t at Sitio, on the car line, because it
was such fine day and the game
was played on the immense latticed
back porch made in a woodsy retreat
by decorations of pine boughs and
forest flowers. Miss Ava Printup,
OF Rome, is visiting Mrs. Stokes and
assisted arranging the porch which
gives a view of miles of ''the forest
primeval".
Besides the four card tables there
were two round tables with churns
of butter-milk and ice tea in the CEN
tiers EMBEDDED in wild flowers.
Besides sandwiches there were hot
rolls and hot tea cakes to be served
with the cold drinks and the fresh
buttermilk was finer than anything
else that could have been had at a
picnic.
The prizes were won by Mrs. Oar
gan and Mrs. N. X. Smith.
Mrs. j. T. Dargan, Mrs. Martin
Dunbar, Mrs. Herbert Hanger, Mrs
Anna Dadham, Mrs Arthur Deveny
and Mrs. Lee Bamford, of Atlanta
assisted in serving. After the bridge
picnic the guests were invited out
to see the 100 little chickens matched
by their mothers, the flourishine
garden and the fine young trees
which are growing so we'll. Mr.
Amorous has asked the railway of
ficials to build a waiting-room il
front of his house and call the sta
ton Sltlo instead of continuing tc
use the other so near by and it is
expected the fare from Marietta tt
this new stopping place will be
| changed from 10 to cents because
1t is not far from the present nickle
limit. When this comes to pass anC
the three popular daughters of Mr.
Amorous come home for the summer
there will be merry times indeed a

with her is a bright spot in any
day.

nerve may be kept at 1t twice as long
as horses are fit for service. Mules
can be raised more cheaply than any
other stock, and, unlike horses, will
never founder themselves If by chance
they should have access to more feed
than Is good for them. They can be
put into the market much sooner than
horses, and If properly handled, when
two years old, will do as much work
and stand 1t better, than four-year-old
colts. Mules are less liable to con-
tract diseases than horses, and their
value is not decreased by blemishes as
is that of horses. Mules seldom run
away, but when they do they seem
to run more from sport than fright
and generally wind up safely. They
instinctively avoid holes, obstacles or
dangerous places. They can stand
heat, abuse or hardship better than
horses and can always be relied upon.
They are sensitive as well as sensible
animals, responding quickly to kind
treatment by docility and gentleness.
The great profit in mule raising lies
largely in their growth. Mules grow
SO quickly that they are marketable
when three years old, while horse
colts cannot adyantageously be sold
under FIVE years. In this way the cost
