THRILLING STORY
OF WAR TOLD BY
AMBULANCE MAN
Guest of Harrisburger Has
Been in Thick of Fight
ing; Atrocities True

Thrilling tales of the war with
Germany were told Sunday by Rob
ert Harding, of Syracuse, N. Y, who
recently returned from France. He
was the guest of Leonard Hinckley. a
Pennsylvania Railroad clerk, who re-
sides at 2O03 Derry street. Mr..
Harding left for Washington, ID. c.,
yesterday and will stop over in this
city on his return home, within two
weeks.
Mr.. Harding was a member of the
Red Cross ambulance division in
France and was located at Verdun.
He won a medal for his bravery and
good work. While on duty in August
his division was attacked by German
aeroplanes.
Bomb Affects Hearing
Orders were given to lie fiat on the
ground. Mr.. Harding was on his
knees preparing to follow orders
when bomb dropped from an aero
plane exploded in the air. The con-
cussion was so great that his hearing
was affected. Others were injurStl.
After the raid the injured were sent
to the hospital and later Mr.. Harding
was given leave to return to America
to recuperate. He expects to return
to France soon.
Has McmentocS
He is but 25 years of age and was
one of the first to go to France for
ambulance duty. He says the stories
told about Germany's barbarous war
fare are all true and that even Red
Cross nurses and ambulance forces
are not exempt from the murderous
attacks. He brought many wounded
men from the battlefieldS and had
numerous narrow escapes.
Mr.. Harding brought along with
him from France a gas mask and
other mementoes of the war, includ-
ing buttons and medals worn by Ger
man soldiers and 'founN on the bat

EDITH CAVELL'S
LAST LETTER

Thoughts of life were stronger than
those of death in Edith Cavelps last
hours on earth. Her anxieties were
directed toward the future welfare of
girl friend afflicted with an appe-
tite for drugs. A letter written to
this girl on the evening OF Oct. IL.
1915. the night before the execution.
How shall l write you this last day?
Standing where I stand now. the
world looks already far away. / wor-
ried about you great deal at 1st,
but know God will do for you abun-
dantly above all that / can ask or

ter than I. do earnestly beseech
you to try and live as / would have
had you live. Nothing matters when
one comes to this last hour but clear
conscience before God, and life looks
so wasted and full of wrong-doing
and things left undone. You have
helped me often. my dear. and In
ways you little dreamed Of, and 1
have remembered our happy holidays
with mother and many small pleas
ures. want you to go to England
at once now and ask--to put you
where you can be cured. Don't mind
how hard II II, do It for my sake, and
then try and find something useful to
do, something to make you forget
yourself while making others happy.

you and love you and wait for you

ready for then. / want you to know

quite ready to give my life for Eng

ways with me and I know you will
like to wear 1t. ! shall pray God for
you at the last that he win keep you
in his tender care. Forgive me that

COUNTRY STORE
BOWS TO AGE OF
THE MOTOR CAR

SMITH CENTER, Kan.-The day of
the country store, once family land
mark to be encountered every few
miles In the western part of Kansas,
is numbered. 1t is the frank admis-
sion OF the proprietors Of those that
remain that within the next years
mercantile establishments will be very
rare in rural districts. The general
use Of motor cars, say the rural store
keepers. Is the cause of their loss in
trade. Less than 10 years ago motor
cars were practically unknown here,
and the farmer living 10 or Is miles
from the railroad, hitched up to his
buggy and wagon and taking his pro-
duce and cash went TO his neighbor-
hood store to trade. If forced to go
to the railroad Il took him an entire
day to make the trip. Evening found
him home. tired out. Now all is chang
ed. In his high-powered motor car,
usually with his wife and children
along, the same farmer makes the
same trip In the cool of the evening
at 30-mile gait, and the lonesome
country storekeeper merely hears the
honk OF the horn as his former patron
fits by going to the larger stocks in
the railroad town. II the farmer wants
to haul hogs or grain to market, he
uses his motor truck, but the result Ia
| the same to the rural storekeeper. With
the rapid decline in patronage, hard
ships came to the country storekeeper
and 1t was either close out his stock at
auction, or 60 to the wall financially.
More Of them chose the lst a'.erna-
tive, and later moved to town to con-
tinue business or remained to go into
the farming game themselves. AT this
time there are not to exceed coun-
try stores in this county, where form
erly there were more than a score.
The oldest and best known of them is
at Hummer, but this week the pro-
prietor Is giving notice OF an auction
sale of his goods and retirement from
business. Only few years ago the
store had the largest business of any
store In the county, and hundreds gath
cred there on Saturday to do their
trading and witness all kinds of ath-
letfc sports which were promoted by
the proprietor.

WHEN DISCOURAGED
PLANT BEANS, URGED

WASHINGTON, D. C.-"When dis
couraged, plant beans" This is the
cheering Injunction which the United
States department of agriculture Is
sending to the gardeners OF the coun-
try who have had poor luck with 9TH
er crops. There is no widely adapted
garden crop that will do so we'll on
poor soil and nothing that is so nearly
fooi proof as beans" says a statement
of the department. THE limits OF the
planting season are so elastic. The
gardener may give his backward on
Ions or beets another chance to make
good and still have time to fill in their
places with beans. II they fail. Beans
of the garden and field sorts may be
planted in the latitude OF Washington
for a mature crop until the middle OF
July, and string beans may be planted
all thru August. In the latitude of
New York, beans may be planted thru
out June. Black Valentine is very
hardy variety and Green Pod Stringless
is very prolific. Limas are more exact
ing in their requirements than other
beans" AS a result Of a recent sur
vey of 100 boys and girls club gardens
in a typical community, the statement
points out, the department OF agricul-
ture finds that where failures have oc-
Cured in gardening this year, they
have been due In general to shade,
poor soil or / or more of the follow
ing mistakes: % Failure, in prepar-
ing the garden, to dig deeply enuf and
pulverlze the soil sufficiently. (2) Too
thick planting. (s) Too deep planting.
ca Ridging the garden and planting
on ridges instead of keeping the ground
level This causes the water to drain
away from the plant. (6) Planting too
early, especially corn, lima beans and
cucumbers. (6) Too many light, sur
face waterings. Roots seek water, and
wet surface causes a growth of
roots there, which are later parched
by the sun. Such watering tends also
to form a hard crust over the surface.
In general there should be less water
ing and more hoeing. Keep a loose
layer of soil on top to retain the water
that is present. IL you must water.
soak things we'll. hoe as soon as the
soil dries a little. and then leave the
garden unwatered several days rath-
err than sprinkle lightly each day. 90

tables attempted. Instructions con-
corning bean culture may be had by
