True Enough.

An Arkansas stock raiser was
showing his friend from the North
the splendid plantation which he
owned.
After they had returned to the
house and were sitting on the veran-
da putting contendedly on their ci-
gars, the northerner said:
Instead of letting those razorback
hogs run wild as you do, why don't
you put them in a pen and feed them
some of the corn you raise? Don't
you think they'd get fat much quick

''They might" replied the planter

be seen as a battle between the Eng
fish, French and Germans ragged.
While standing in the road unde
c1ded as to which way to run. the
baroness saw group of French SOL
diers rush by and hide in a nearby
thicket. Wondering what was the
cause of this, she waited and soon
saw five stalwart German scouts APP
preaching. She held her breath as
she watched the men advancing to
their death. On they came, first
glancing this way and then that.
When within 120 yards of where the
Frenchmen were hiding, they scented
the enemy and turning about their
steeds they drove their spurs into
their tanks and disappeared over u
hill.
Continuing her journey she soon
arrived in another village, where she
found a doctor working in a hospital
trying to alleviate the sufferings of
the wounded. When he saw the bar
Dress he asked her to assist him
while he operated on the men. From
10 O'Clock that night until o'clock
the following morning the baroness
assisted the physician. Seventeen men,
who had sacrificed themselves on the
altar of patriotism were operated

When the last bandage was tied the
doctor smilingly turned to the
baroness and asked her what she de-
sired. AS she had had nothing to eat
for several hours, she asked him
where she could secure some food.
Giving her the key to his home, the
doctor told her that she might be
able to find some provisions there.

cheese, she lay down to sleep in the

10000 Bodies in Field.
Some of the awful sights that she
has witnessed are almost beyond
human conception. At one time,
Baroness Huard declared she saw
no less than 10000 bodies, lying on
the fields awaiting interment Human
funeral piles of 20 to 40 men were
cremated, while thousands of black
crows attracted to the place emitted
horrible cries.
While walking through town
Baroness Huard was attracted to q
spot where some French and English
soldiers were trying to talk to each
other. Believing that she could be
of service as she understood both
French and English, she offered her
assistance. When the officers learned
that she could interpret the language
for them they drafted her into mill
tary service and as a result she rode
about for five days on an official army

oness Huard acted on his advise. The
president Of the bank noticing that
she had withdrawn all her funds Gu
riously inquired If she was about to
take a trip around the world, She
caused much mirth when she told the
banker that she had taken out her
funds as a precautionary war meas
ure.
Upon leaving the bank she saw
something which brought home the
realization that the land was at war
Three army officers, making maps Of
the country, passed by on BICYCLES
They attracted a great deal of atten-
ton and were treated with much cour-
tesy by the peasants. On the first day
of mobilization two of these three Off
GERS were shot as German spies anG
the French are still looking for the
third, she said.
After a conference as to the best
procedure, Baroness 'Huard and her
husband decided to stock up with
provisions and pay a visit to the near
est town. Because of the mobiliza-
ton orders male clerks were conspic-
uous by their absence. After ma king a
few purchases they were advised to
leave for home at once as the rail-
roads, telegraph and telephone sys-
TENS were soon to be turned over to
the government. The baroness and
her husband were fortunate enough to
catch the last train to run for months.
Offers House as Hospital.
Ten days after the order for
mobilization her husband was called
to the colors. Baroness Huard was
left alone cut off from the outside
world with five youngsters about her
estate to look after.
In order to do her bit toward help
ing the French win the war she
offered her chateau for hospital.
Her motor cars, horses and every
other available vehicle had heen
requisitioned by the government
On August 26 of the same year,
war was brought home in full force
when about 100000 homeless and
helpless women and children, fright
ened by the on-rushing Huns, fed past
her chateau. Autos, carts. wheel
barrows, baby carriages and other
conveyances were being used while
thousands of the more unfortunate
were travelling on foot. Almost ex-
hausted and famished, hundreds OF
refugees, rich and poor, peasants and
princes, lined up in front of her
chateau while they were given bowls
of steaming soup by the Baroness.
The Baroness related a pitiful
story of how lad of IA years
stumbled into her home one night
carrying heavy bundle in his arms.
The Baroness upbraided him for
carrying the bundle. The lad told
her that "he was carrying his great
grandmother to safety. that she was
SO years of age and that he loved
her dearly and that he did not want
the Germans to harm her" He had
walked IS miles and had rested but
two hours since he began his journey.

through another town, Baroness
Huard witnessed a delightful spec
tacle. Hundreds of women were seen
dancing and throwing their arms
about each others neck and uttering
joyous shouts. Upon inquiry she
learned that the French had won a
notable victory at the Marine. The
baroness then decided to leave at once
for her chateau.
Suffering great hardships, sleeping
in the open, going for days without
food and passing over the ruins left
by the Germans, she plodded along
on her homeward journey. At last
upon arriving at her home, which was
once beautiful chateau, the baroness
was filled with grief to find her resi-
dence in a dilapidated condition.
Her personal effects had been car
ried away and what the Germans
could not take with them they de-
stroyed. On one of the doors of her
residence were carved the names of
the officers of the staff of General Won
kluck. 1t was through this that she
learned that her chateau had been
used by the German leader. Over her
farm were scattered thousands of
empty champagne bottles. which had
been discarded by the officers. Upon
gathering up the bottles and counting
them it was found that over 10000
bottles Of champagne had been con-
sumed. The interior of the house
was a mass of ruins. Her piano was
ruined as over 200 bottles of jam had
been emptied in 1t. The heating and
plumbing systems had been destroyed.

Using PATRIOTISM AS AN
ARGUMENT WITH NORTH
GEORGIA MOONSHTNERS

ATLANTA, Ca, April 20.-At last 1t
has remained for the entrance of the
United States into the European war
to furnish the first argument in history
why the moonshiners of north Geor
gia and other mountain regions should
turn their corn into meal, instead of
iato liquor.
One Of the federal governments
principal difficulties in collecting the
internal revenue license on moonshine
whiskey has been that the mountaineer
regarded the right to make liquor as
one of the inalienable liberties handed
down to him from generations and
guaranteed him by the constitution
His fathers before him made it, their
fathers made it. Why should he pay
a license to distill whiskey, any more
than to grind his corn into meal?
But now the revenue officers are put
ting it up to the moonshiners as a
matter of patriotism to conserve their
corn supply because the people of the
United States and of the Allied coun-
tries need it for food. And the ar
gument is appealing to them, because
the mountaineer is as patriotic as any
many that walks the earth.
