The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-09-21

The life Of a F'renchman was saved
in a similar manner. He, like Breton,
was going to visit some friends when
the idol of the Legion applied the
coattail pulling act to him with even
greater vigor.
He, too, fell victim to heI-"plead-
ings and remained at home, and al
lowed Jacques" andother comrade,
to take his place.
The girl showed no objections TO
his going, and he therefore made the
journey.
The f1rN night he slept in the house
it was blown up by a shell, and four
persons were severely wounded, but
jacques escaped without a scratch.
He removed to another house, and
on the second night it was demolish-
ed. One Of the occupants was killed,
and two severely wounded, but the
Legionary again was lucky enough to
be unhurt.
The French people are highly sup
erstitious, and none of tho neighbors
would agree to take in the soldier ON
the third night, and he had perforce
to return to the Legion.
In the end a sad tragedy overlook
the pals of the Duchess A man
named Laurent, who was a cook and
not real Legionary, was nevertheless
much attached to the little mystery
girl.
ton one day, and the young child
held son desperately to him. Laurent,
however, disengaged himself and went
off with the party.
They cautiously worked their way,
and all went well until they came to
a RACED village. Not dog, cat, tree,
or house with roof could be seen.
The work of destruction had been
well accomplished. Only the village
cemetery stod intact.
The party fingered for a. moment
in this consecrated place, and then
they came across a soldiers grave,
sad relic of the 1914 retreat.
The little wooden cross lay flat up
on the mound, and on it were inscrib-
ed the words:
ITO the soldier Laurent of the Thir-
ty-Sixth Infantry
Laurent, with his eyes bullying out
of his head, and with a look of awe
written over his face, bent over the
cross and read it.
.God!' he exclaimed, ''if my wife
should pass this way she might think
it was me-
Hardly had these words passed his
lips when German shell exploded
with terrific. crash.
It laid Laurent a mangled mass up
on the CROSS which SO singularly bore
his name.
In terror the other members of the
Legion left the tragic scene. -fWhy
did not Laurent pay heed to the en-
treaties of the child?',, they asked.
This is the mystery girl Of the war,
and now efforts are being made
throughout France and Belgium to try
and, restore her to her parents.

SOLDIERS BOARD is
$500, 900 EACH DAY
CHARLES PACK SAYS

Z, Philadelphia, Sept. 20.-''War has
made Uncle Sam the biggest buyer of
food in this country and the board

day Charles Lathrop Pack, presi-
dent of the National Emergency Food
Garden Commission of Washington
today told the conference of the
American Academy Of Political and
Social Science.
I'VE are to have two million men
under arms shortly according to the
best reports. At forty cents a day it
will be seen what that means. True
hthese men ate before becoming sol
diers to make the world safe for
Democracy. They doubtless ate more
than. forty cents worth daily which
Uncle Sam figures is the cost per man.
But you must remember that these
men have suddenly become non-produ-
GERS and they must be fed The army
is making great plans for camouf1age
to deceive the eyes of the enemy but
you canont deceive soldiers stom-
ach He must have real food.
81 am told that the reserve stock
of foodstuffs at each camp is $125,-
600, and there are 3S camps in the
country today. That means that food
valued at s4,125,0o0 is taken out of
the regular channels of trade. These
figures give but an idea of the need
of food conservation ON the part of
the Individual at this time. The Ma
tional Emergency Food Garden Com
mission urges every Soldier of the
Soil to at once promote himself to a
colonel of conservation and store and
can food as never before.
Germany reports that its war gar
dens produced more this year than
any year since the war started. This
shows the value of experience. We
| have had one years experience and
| have raised $3.50, 100000 worth of
produce In our war gardens. Next
year we will do even better. We will
then have more war gardens and the
| average product of each will be larger.
E"Housewives of this country this year
preserved and canned at least 460

appearing upon the streets of the city
in frofusc quantities. Some of the
buckaroOS are mounted on lively
horses, while others pound their boots
and spurs upon the cement walks.
However they are propelled no one
can help taking note of their presence.
Some are picturesque anud others are
not pronounccdly so. But they are all
buckaroos and the most insignificant
looking one of the lot may be the
winner of the prize saddle, to say not
n word about the big purse that is be-
ing hung up for the best bucking
horse rider in the contest
When the Stampede is staged here

If employers are unwilling to meet
the new wage scale announced ycStcr-

prevent IL strike, union men believe.
In event of any dispute of the merit
Of the transfers demands, a con-
terence between union representatives

sociation probably will be held.
Officers of the transfers say that
the first move will be up to the en-

the new scale, they say, it will be
considered in conference. Last winter
a revision upward of the scale was
granted by the employers without
argument.
The new scale calls for a wage of IS
4 day for man and team and 81 a day
for driver, eight hours to constitute
Il days work. At present the scale is
s. and $3.50, and in coal and lumber
yards a nine hour day is in effect.
