ably would have spent more before the
ship reached port, but one day, greatly
to his establishment, he became sea-
sick.
The canteen curios, such as shells on
which are painted the American flag,
attract many buyers, and before the
trip is ended almost every soldiers kit
contains one or more of these treas
ures.
On the British transports the barber
shop is advertised on the door as
"Hairdresser." AS a rule this sign is
not understood by the American look
Ing for a haircut or a shave. He
thinks it is a place for women to have
their hair dressed, and he passes 1t by.
When he confesses to his comrades
that he can't find the barber shop he
is made the victim of a good deal Of
joshing from those who have fathOmed
the secret.
The soldiers who patrOniZe the hair
dresser find the experience rather
novel. 1t seems queer to be shaved in
80 immovable upright chair, and
queerer still, but extremely satisfac-
tory, to be charged half the price one
pays in a tirst-cIass American shop.
"Dlscover" English Money.
1t is on the ship that many Ameri-
cans become acquainted for the first
time with English money. Aside from
stray Canadian dime, they usually
have never seen British coins, and
when in exchange for an American bill
they are given strengthening pieces
of silver and big disks of copper, they
register, in the language of the movies,
wide-eyed interest.
"What are these stove lids for?"
asks an Iowan Of Texan, puzzled and
showing some disdain for the big Eng
lish pennies.
"You put 'em in sock to bean a
Hun with, I reckon" replies the South
erner, netting the coins. "Or maybe"
he adds, 1--WE can use 'em to throw at
submarines"
A sergeant steps up with informa-
ton. "You use those things for tips"
he volunteers. They're worth two
cents apiece. That's gOod-sized tip

motors and trucks, was a stockade
filled with German prisoners Of war.
A Y. M. c. A. secretary met the
writer at the door. The secretary
looked tired, tagged, worn out. In
spite of that, however, his air was
cheerful, brisk, cordial.
Inside all was spick and span. There
was scattering handful of boys in
Khaki, the majority colored soldiers,
who belonged about the place. At the
hut's other end was counter and be-
hind the counter were two familiar
faces.
One was the girl who'd sat in the
steamer chair, her eyes hazy as she'd
dreamed her dream. The other was
the man who'd come across with her
the fellow who'd seen himself framed
heroically amidst the bursting shrap-
mel.
A trio Of soldiers was draped about
the girls counter. The three, it hap
pened, were whites. About the other
counter were four other soldiers, and
all the four were black. The man, a
damp muggy towel in his hand, was
hopping off the counter. The look on
his face was the same look one beheld
on the face of the girl. 1t was a look
Of bored, excruciating WEAKNESS.
"What'll you have, eggs?" he was
murmuring to big Galveston roust-
about.
The girl, her voice even more llst
less, was saying: cigarettes are rs
confines the pack. No, there is no
chewing tobacco today
Their Bubble Prlcked.
AS they saw the writer it would be
difficult to describe the look that
spread upon their faces.
The girl was the first to regain her
poise.
"Im very well, thank you. The
work? Oh, yes. It's not exactly what l
thought 1t would be, but then, C'est la
guerre." It took a struggle, though,
for her to say 1t. Chewing tobacco,
chocolate and cigarettes-that instead
Of glory.
The man was more brief.
TThe war-what do ! think Of It?
It's eggs, mostly-fried eggs"
Their bubble had been pricked. They
were seeing the war, a large part Of 1t
anyway. face to face with it's realities.
Outside, the hut secretary with a
grin stopped to bid the writer good-by.
THAT'S the way with a lot of them
from over home" he remarked. "They
come over here, thinking they're go
ing right up to the front where they
can have a hand in the big show. But
they're all right. That girls got the
right stuff in her, and after she's been
tried out here a while she'll have q
chance at bigger things. The man,
too, is coming on. He's had a jolt just
as all of us get 1t over here, but when
he gets the romance all wiped out Of
him he'll be a mighty valuable person
for our sort of work. No, there's
mighty little romance In this mans
scrap. You can't do much Joy riding

Cities Need Bat pefenses.

The city is the great stronghold of
the rat, its permanent refuge and its
last line of defense. The rodents
might be destroyed in all rural dis
tricts and villages, but if not routed
in the cities the whole country would
soon be repopulated with rats from
these centers of infestation.
Old wooden wharves, brick cellars,
extensive lumber yards, ancient facto-
ries, grain elevators, markets and
many other institutions of cities at
tract and harbOr rats. AS a rule the
older the city the more rats are found
in 1t, but even in parts rebuilt after
large fires they are still to be found,
though less abundant. Many large
buildings, rat-proof as to walls and
foundations, have become infested
with rodents through carelessness or
oversight of owners or occupants and
the animals are intrenched behind fix
lures or merchandise. Fortunately 1t
is possible to rout the rats from these
hiding places.
The biological survey of the o. s.
department of agriculture recon-
mends that cities require that all
buildings to be erected shall be made
rat-proof under a rigid system Of In
spectiOn; that all existing buildings
with rat-proof walls and foundations
be made really rat-proof by closing or
screening every opening through which
rats might enter; that rat-proofing re-
pairs be applied voluntarily to all
buildings that need them. Use of dogs,
cats anG traps also may bring benefit.

WHAT FARMER THINKS
OF THE COUNTY AGENT.

The states relations service Of
the United States department Of
agriculture has on file thou
sands of letters from farmers
telling of help they have re-
ceiyed from county agents.
The following is quoted from
a letter written by w. H. Har-
vey, a farmer of Long Beach,
CAL:
farming is no longer a blum
dering job. 1t is growing into a
science. TO succeed, organiza-
ton, method, system and scien-
tifc knowledge are needed.
These steps are developed and
brought about or made possible
by the right kind Of a county
agent. He is, therefore, a
trained, skilled man In personal
touch with the farmer to help
solve the thousand and one
farm problems as they come up
and has at his beck and call the
scientific men Of this great

Don't let the garden loaf after the
crops planted in the spring have been
gathered. Plant new crops for fall
harvesting and get the maximum bene-
fit from your food plot.
In most sectious of the United
States nearly all the common garden
vegetables can be planted early in Au-
gust with plenty of time for their
maturity before the first killing frost
in the autumn. As late garden crops
which may follow others the following
are suggested:

THE SALOON THE POOR MAN'S
WORST ENEMY.

THE SALOON THE POOR MAN's
WORST ENEMY.
All Of a poor mans wealth Is In
vested in his children. The poor man
sacrifices his whole life to raise his
children and hopes that when they
grow up they will be help to him in
his old age. If the rich mans chill
dren go to the bad the rich man still
has money to support him. but when
the poor mans children go to the bad
oil his wealth is lost and he is left in
his old age to a life of misery. The
saloon Is an institution that robs the
poor man Of his children and he ought
to be against 1t even more than the
rich man.
The rich men will not live where
there are saloons. They viii have
their land deeds fixed up so that no
saloons can be established, or they
will have laws made to bar out sa-
looms. Some Christian people ease
their consclences by having laws made
to keep the saloons away from the
church doors; but when you drive the
saloons away from the rich mans
home and the doors of the church, you
drive them to the homes Of the poor
people-the least able Of all to with
stand their ravages. The poor man
cannot drive the saloon away from his
door with money, like the rich man.
for he has not the money; but he has
a vote, and with that vote he can, and
should, drive the saloon away from his
floor.-Jobn r. Cunneen.

LONDON REGARDS BERLIN
 CLAIMS AN ExAGGERATloN
Concerning the Capture of 1e,oo0 Pris.
 oners and 200 Guns.

London, March 22.-The news com ing from correspondents at the front today that forty German divisions were engaged in the fighting on the front of attack and that the greatest concentration of artillery in the worlds history was operating gave the British public an idea of the. tremen- dous struggle on the west front But nothing in the despatches, either from Field Marshal Haig or from the news paper correspondents, had prepared them for the German claim which reached London late tonight of the capture of 16,000 prisoners and 200 guns as the result of the first day fighting in the new German offensive and the disposition at the moment is to regard the claim as an exaggera- ton.
 According to the correspondents, the British withdrawals, where they were necessary, were carried out in good order from advanced positions which in the nature of the fighting of these days, it had been expected would be given up. These are generally be. lieved to have been lightly held
 It had been intimated that the Ger. mans would claim the capture of sey. eral villages, but the despatches gave no hint of their names, saying onl, that it was inadvisable to indicate thu present British line, because thi.
 would be giving information to tn, enemy.
 All the despatchee emphasize tn,
 heavy cost to the Germans of the firs days struggle. and depict the ground from which the British have with
 drawn as being filtered with German dead.
