as an address for American soldiers
who are in service in France That IS,
that is the word that comes unofficial
~ from the Boston postoffice from
Mrs. Fred Towne. who has been Wis
iting in the city for several days. The
Boston people have refused to take
packages which have been directed
that way, because they say that let
ters and packages from this country
are liable to be confused with those Of

Will be apt to go astray. Therefore, if
you want to do all in your power to
have your boys get their mail, be sure
and designate that it is the Ameri-

waited an hour in the Boston post
office to send package 70 Major
Towne in France and when her turn
came they would not accept the pack
age until she had changed the "a. F,

er. Mr.. Haines expressed his pleasure
a, being present. He said that he was
interested in agriculture and had hao
experience in this and other counties.

greatly in favor Of the latter place
He spoke of the Importance Of or
SANITATION in agricultural work ana
placed great emphasis on the value OF
the cow 10 the food production or the

lawyer or doctor or other professional
man has anything over the boy or
girl who follows the science OK agrl-
culture for their life work.

good farms in Maine were still being
worked and the abandoned farms
in the first place. He admonished the

thing is better than living" said he,
and that is life If any man needs
an education it is the man who spends
his life in the isolation OF farm"

have an easier time than their moth
ers and grandmothers Home isn't

STORY EXECUTION OF
WOMAN SPY FALSE

Washington, Dec. IA. = Persistent
repetition Of d story that a woman spy
had been executed in the United States
has caused the State Department to
send an official denial to American
consuls and legations in the European
neutral countries. The story original
ed in Germany and its widespread use
is regarded as another case OF propa-
ganda. The nhme Of the woman was
given as ANNA Huitems.
Ordinarily no attention would have
been paid to story so palpably false,
but in this case credence appeared to
have been given TO it in neutral coun-
