BEHOLDING PERSHING,
GERMANS HOPE DIES

ficer Who Had Doubted United
States Aid

PARIS. Sept 3.-A German officer, taken
prisoner i'm the recent French advance north
Of verdun. is quoted by the Echo de Ia
Rochelle as declaring:
TT is a pity so much blood has been shed
in vain" A staff officer who interrogated
the German is given as authority for the
interview. The German paid homage to the
heroic courage of the French soldiers, but
tried to discourage the idea that help would
be forthcoming from the United States.
French officers vainly Informed the pris-
oner that thousands Of American soldiers
have landed in France and England ana
had marched through the streets or Paris
and London; that division of American
troops was preparing for service at the
front: that ether contingents, more inn
portant, would arrive before the end OF
the year and that the United States was
arming millions of men.
''Those are only adroit maneuvers de-
signed to keep up the spirits or the COM
batants," replied the prisoner The
French officer said:
We will convince you; you shall be
conducted before General Pershing, the
commander in chief of the American ex-
peditionary forces in France, now here on
the Verdun front. You can question him
yourself, and you VIII learn whether II
is the German people or us who are being
deceived by those who govern
When the escort came to conduct the
prisoner before General Pershing, big tears
rolled down his cheeks and he remarked
sadly, "Since that is the case, 1t is al
over We are lost"

FARMER FIRES HAY STACK

Good Provender

TowANDA, Pa. Sept. 3.-H. ID. Shores,
4 farmer of Shores Hill, near here, discov-
cred a big nest of hornets in a four-ton
stack of hay on his farm. He decided to
smoke them out. Taking box of matches
ana a pail of water he visited the stack.
His idea was to light the hay near the
nest, permit the first pun of smoke to kill
the insects and then extinguish the blaze
with the bucket of water. All went well
until the match was applied, and then in an
instant the entire stack was ablaze and he
lost the four tons of hay. But he ridded
the stack of the hornets. ,

What food is better for sick or well

possible is being done by the press
to discourage the production Of poul-
try and eggs.
In former years, up TO last year.
the average price Of feed Tor poultry
cost $L25 per 100 pounds and the
average price for eggs for the entire
season was 80 cents per dozen, and
ofteutimes they brought from so TO
IS cents. Last year poultry on the
market brought from two 20 four
cents more per pound than this sea-
son.
At present the average price Of feed
for poultry is S3-75 per 100 pounds,
and II the poultryman gets a square
deal ne should have no less than S1.20
for his eggs, and they should range
up TO 81 per dozen, according 10 the

The jitne is a luxury and not a

sumed by the jitnes is needed by
Uncle sam and no doubt If every
jitne was put out OF business the
price Of gasoline would decline. The
men IN the jitne service are badly
needed in other useful and necessary
Industries.
Putting the jitne out Of business
would work a hardship on the patrons
