he could sip chocolate while lying

Another boy said all he wanted
was little talk with an American

A MERICA'S best known writer
II of sea stories, Ralph D. Paine,
"A will on Thursday evening,
November 81 at the Brandeis
offer the first Navy talk since the
United States entered the present
world war. His lectures, THE
Fighting Fleets" should prove more
than interesting, as he will be the
.irst person who comes from visit
o the Allied fleets after over five
months stay upon all kinds of craft,
from the little scout boat, the sub
marine, the destroyer, the cruiser,
and the battleship, to the flagship OF
the American and British high COM
mands. Mr.. Paine's observations
and the information gathered have
been submitted to Secretary Daniels,
and that gentleman, in conjunction
bassador, and Admiral Sims, re-
with Lord Reading, the British am
quested him to tell it to the great
american nation. Mr.. Paine, in do
ing so, particularly praises our own
ack tars whom he has seen under
all sorts of trying conditions, when
for weeks at s. time the storms OF
the North Sea made the waters SO
rough for many of our smaller craft

Craze on New England hills in vast

Il have been surprised to find
farmers even buying canned vege-
tables and other supplies that
should be raised on their own soil.
I know the argument advanced by
some farmers that there is more
profit in specializing in one line than
developing all phases of farm pro-
ducts, but it stands to reason that
if you own the land you can raise
things on it very much cheaper
than you can buy them"

SOME FIDDLER"

n IA GYGI is probably the most
I remarkable violinist vaudeville
~ has had to present in long
while. Evincing his rare talent at
an early age, Gygi was fortunate
enough to attract the attention of
Joachim, admittedly the greatest
violin teacher of his day. Joachim
instantly saw the boys possibilities
and forthwith took him under his
patronage. Those early days were
rot easy ones for Gygi. Joachim was
a hard teacher, a difficult master.
Like all geniuses he was Indifferent
of weakness in others and he was
harshly intolerant with Gygi's mis-
takes. But Gygi's desire to become
great violinist was so keen that
it ameliorated everything else and
eventually, because he had the stuff
in him and because he persevered,
he reached his goal.
When Gygi made his debut in
Europe his vogue became instantan-
cous. His fame reached the ears
of every ruler in Europe and he has
played by invitation in nearly every
European court, receiving in turn
various honors and decorations.
Greatest of these perhaps is the
honor bestowed upon him by the
King of Spain, who, in appreciation
conferred upon him the degree of
royal professor of music, distinc-
ton that created an artistic sensa-
ton. AT the expiration of his pres
ent Orpheum tour he expects to re-
urn TO the concert field.

tually owns a farm of 50 acres in
Massachusetts,, which she superin-

taken up farming as a pastime-
with her it is a serious occupation
and she runs her farm to make
money. Born and brought UP on
a farm in Yorkshire, England, she
came to America with her own ideas
relative to how farm should be run
and she is showing her New Eng

outside New England and yet
large percentage of food is brought
there by boat and railroads. Old
England, with no more territory
than is covered by New England,
supplies at present three-quarters
of the food of her 100000 people.
New England has 100000 and while
the soil is not as fertile as that of
England, yet there is ample good
ground to feed everybody who
lives there.
THE reason why Boston has to
import food from the west is lack
of energy and good sense by the
farmers. With plenty of good land
for pasture many of them do not
even attempt to raise cattle. l have
seen many so-called farmers who
kept but one cow. Many of the
farmers, too, purchase their butter
from others. Pigs do not require
fertile soil and are very profitable,
but few New England farmers raise

Letter Tells Terrible
Story of Bombing

John s. Webb, 2918 South 8th
street, recently received a letter
from his nephew, George Brooks,
who enlisted In Everett with the
Canadian engineers.
Brooks wrote the letter in the
st. Mary's hospital in Seafold,
Sussex, England, where he is re-
covering from serious wounds re-
ceived in a gas bomb attack.
In the letter Brooks told of the
death of his chum which had at
fected him vey much. This
friend of Brooks had been injured
in battle and was being carried
away in a stretcher by Brooks and
another man when a large gas
bomb exploded near them. 1t so
tore up the earth that the injured
man on the stretcher and the 9TH
er man carrying 1t were buried
and killed.
Brooks was badly injured but
succeeded in crawling out and is
now convalescing in England.

 Little Rock, Feb. 20.-In state ment from William Blackman, direc- tor of Labor for the Emergency Fleet Corporation, received in Little Rock yesterday regarding the labor situa- tion. especially with regard to ship building, occurs the following sig nificant paragraph:
 "The situation is one in which not only the nation is vitally interested but one which strikes at the very heart of labor itself. Interruptions to business and consequent loss of earn ings to the employer will occur, or at least production will be retarded with the same result-until we have shipping adequate to@ the task o1 clearing the port congestion. It is only through shipyard labor that re. lief to labor throughout the natior can come, therefore, uncalled strikes not only threaten the safety of oul armies in France, but the very hear of labor itself through the reduction in employment, which is faced by millions of men not engaged directly in shipyard work"
