American artists who longed for
some work more active than painting
posters have began to find it. They
are forming a United States wing OF
the "Camoudage."
TITS mysterious word is descriptive
OF huge French department Of art
ful :rickery, department to which
only the most skilled painters and col
or authorities: can belong. It has
saved no one knows how many lives,
how many cannon, how many car
loads of man and gun food. It's mem
bership has been depleted time and
again by death, but always the loyal
artists of France have filed up the
ranks again and kept the very ne
cessary work going.
"The Camoufage" is a corps OF
painters who go about with paint and
brush, concealing all the military
equipment and activities possible
They perform these miracles by clev-
or pieces Of color execution, painting
whole railroad trains so that from an
avia,tors situation far above they look
like grassy fields or dirt roads and are
distinguishable. Another part OF their
work is to conceal cannon by hang
ing painted canvas above them.
Horses and men have been literally
painted out Of real landscape. Snip
ers creeping into the thickets to pick
Off enemies receive an elaborate coat
OF facial and clothing paint which
makes them blend almost completely
with the scenery. When a sniper Is
c1cuching in a shaded nook he is paint
cd in mottled colors so that the sun
light and shadows conceal him by
similarity.
Long stretches Of road have been
initiated on wide strips of screen and
placed in position during the night,
so that when the German aviators
looked down in the morning they were
able to report to their artillery that
nothing was passing down this much
travelled path. At that very time, how.
ever. underneath this strip OF can
vas which lied so amiaoiy about its
state Of inactivity hundreds of French
cannon were rumbling to the front,
comfortable in the assurance that the
airmen above taem were searching for
them elsewhere.

DIR. ]. A. B. Seherer, Former President
OF Newberry College, in Columbia
On Wac Work.

I The State.
! After a series of conferences with
Gov. Manning and local members of
the State council of defense during
! the past two days, DR.. J. A. B. Scherer,

lege, and pastor of St. Andrews Lu-
theran church of Charleston, now pres

of the war member of the council Of
national defense, was yesterday ready
to approve heartily the patriotic work
that has been done in South Carolina
i to put the State on a war footing, and
help in the plan Of national defense.
DR.. Scherer was particularly enthu-
siastic over the work done by the Wo-
mans organizations, and by the State
council of defense, headed by David R..
Coker of Hartsville.
DR.. Scherer volunteered for war ser
vice soon after the presidents declar-
alton and was made member OF the

some time spent in conferences IN
Washington DR.. Scherer was sent on
a tour of the States to hold confer

national body is doing. South Caro-
lima. where he is we'll known as one
| of the leaders of the Lutheran church
in the South, is the first State visited
by DR.. Scherer; on Monday he will
go to Georgia to begin series Of cou-
ferences similar to those held here.

MOTHER'S LOAD THE HEAVIEST

Among women, at least during the
earlier progress of the war, and if it
be not unduly prolonged, it will be
the mothers who will suffer most.
Already there is hardly a church
in which some mothers heart has
not been torn in the conaict between
love of country and love for her S[st-
, born. And where there is one today
there will be a hundred tomorrow.
1t is easy to preach enlistment, whenN
one has no Sons Of eligible military |
/: :. enr it is quite different matter /
wien there is q son old enough to be-
called to the colors. We witnessed re-
Gently a father, in speaking before a.
company of people, overcome for the
moment with emotion as he thought
of his only son, already at Fort Sheri-
dan. But real as was this fathers
sacrifice for his country, it coald aot
In the nature of the case be quite
so great as that Of the mother.
No one but a mother can ever know
the cost of motherhood. 1t. is to her
an open book of memory. We some
how take for granted that mother
hood is foreordained to self-surrender;
that self-sacrifce is really her meter;
and that, for this very reason, she
will play her part well. That moth
ers are to give up their sons Is mat
ter of course, and matters Of course
elicit neither comment nor CON-
mendation.
The motherhood Of America will pay
its share Of the war, just as Canadian
mothers have done, in silent suffer
ing. People who really are making
sacrifices do not talk much about sac
ri6cing. They are too busy doing the
thing itself: 1t is relatively easy for
a young man to enlist, even though he
lieves almost certain death, if he be-
lieves that he is giving his life for
liberty of his country. 1t is infinitely
harder for the mother to give up
her son; she would rather face death
herself, if by so doing she could rem
der her country the same service and
save his life. And this would be only
repeating what in some real measure
she has already done, when, in bring
ing him into the world, she had en-
tered without fear into that strange
borderland Of suffering out of whose
mingled joy and pain there came
forth her frst-born hope.
It will not be long before every one
of US in one way Or another will be
bearing our share of the burdens OF
the most direful conflict ever witness
ed in modern civilization. But the
fiscal load will not compare with what
the motherhood of the nation will have
to bear.-Baptist Standard.

McKellip, Little Sank Leader, Declares
Socialists, Not Farmers, Control
the League

]. w. McKellip, well known. farmer
of Little Sank township, who presided
at the debate at Long Prairie Satur-
day between N. S. Randall, state or
ganizer of the Nonpartisan league,
and Rudolph A. Lee, announced today
that he has severed his connection
with the Nonpartisan league. He has
been one of the its leading members
in Todd county.

was a good thing for the farmers to
get together he said Tuesday. But

of it that the league is socialism un-

accomplish anything of value to the
farmers of this state the way they are
going at it. 1t is being run by social
lists and the farmers have little to say
"Mr. Lee is correct when he said
that the league members were not cen

Mr. McKellip's case was said to be
one of several OBJECTIONS from the

MELROSE RESIDENT DEAD

After suffering for three days with

ARE INTERESTED IN DRAINAGE
Ashley Township Farmers Will Thor
Oughly Investigate Proposition
to Reclaim Farm Lands.

A number of farmers from the town
of Ashley met in City Engineer Ben
ner's office Saturday and discussed the
feasibility of installing a drainage
system through a part of the above
township. This system, if installed,
will embrace portions of Sections 2,
8, 10, II and IA and will greatly ben
eft what is already very valuable
tract.
S. L. Ingram was present and spoke
at some length on. the matter, setting
forth the advantages Of a private
drainage system over that of a coun-
ty ditch, laying particular stress upon
the fact that a private system is much
chEaper. Mr.. Ingram has had consid-
cradle experience in both private and
public drainage matters in the past
two years and knows whereof he
speaks.
: tfheiland owners were very enthu-
siastic and Mr.. Bonner was requested
tohegim preliminary survey at once.
If the survey indicates sufficient fall
from the head to the outlet to insure
a rapid discharge of water, it is prob
able that the work of laying the tile
will begin within short time.

Union Services Largely Attended,.
One of the satisfactory sides of the
special services being conducted by
the pastors of the Congregational and
Methodist churches is the large con-
gregations which have assembled each
evening to hear the sermons. Indeed
the meetings have been so successful
and have aroused so much interest
that it has been decided to continue
them up to Easter. The meetings will
continue this week in the Methodist
church and on Sunday at 500 they
will be held in the Congregational
church and continue in the Congrega-
'tional church all next week. The meet
ings commence each evening at 1880;
those who have not been attending
should take an oportunity'of doing so.
The preaching is done entirely by the
two local pastors and already much
good has been accomplished. Singing
is feature of the services.

UNKNOWN MAN FOUND DEAD
Body of Stranger Discovered Lying
Beside Railroad Track Near
Richmond Tuesday.

The mutilated body of an unknown
man was discovered early Tuesday
morning alongside the railroad tracks
three miles from Richmond. The
same man, according to section hands,
was seen Monday night at $50 only
half a mile from the place where his
body was found. The head of the
stranger was caved in and one foot
was badly crushed, so that it is sur
missed that he was hit by train,
though there was no freight past the
depot until near o'colck. 1t is thought
that possibly he sat down by the track
and went to sleep.
The deceased was about 45 years of
age, medium weight, with light mus
tache. He wore duck coat and was
neatly dressed. He carried a light
grip.
Some difficulty was experienced in
finding the coroner and authorities
were forbidden to search the body I'M
til his arrival.
The man whose body was found On
the railroad track near Richmond
early Tuesday morning has been iden-
titled as Richard Peterson, a laborer,
who had been working near New Lon
don, for some time.
1t is apparent that Peterson, just
arrived in this county. He stopped AT
the first wet town and loaded PIP with
several bottles Of ] alcohol. TWos NIl
bottles were found in package. he
carried and broken bottle wasyens his
hip. 1t is believed that he was drunk
when the train hit him. ...s.Y +
The body was ordered, left until the
deputy coroner arrived so that it was
nearly "a hours after the accident be-
fore an information could be secured.
No valuables were found onsthe body
but Identification was secured through
letters that were in his pocket. The
family with which he had been stay
ing at New London was communicated
with and members said that so far as
they know he had no relatives. The
county attorney decided that an in
quest was not necessary.
