HATS OFF TO THIS MOTHER!
BY HERMANN HAGEDORN
of the ViuiIantes,

Regimental Sergt. Maj. William B.
Jenkins, Three Hundred and Fourth
field artillery, is dead at Camp Upton,
but his soul is marching on. 1t is a
question indeed whether in death he
may not do more to defeat the Ger
mans than he could ever have done in
life. For his death has brought from
his mother an utterance Of stirring
patriotism that is sure to rouse to
greater effort the defenders of America
abroad and at home.
Sergeant Major Jenkins came from
Holiday, Tenn, and it is from there
that his mother, Mrs. NJ. e. Jenkins,
writes as follows to Mai. J. D. Whit
man.
"Allow me as one who has lived I'M
til l am now an old woman to EXPRESS
to you my thanks and appreciation for
your many courtesies to me as mother
| of Sergt. Maj. William B. Jenkins. I
had hoped my boy would get his
chance in France, but it was not to be.
! so l am as submissive to his death as
if he had died in the trenches in Eu-
rope. Please accept my thanks for
all your kindness and to any of his
comrades that were with him in his
sickness. With sad heart I dictate
these lines, but with quickening pulse
and an accelerated being I look for
ward to the day when victory shall
come to the brave boys who are giving
their lives for our beloved land. /
shall ever love a soldier boy. MAY

carried on for years methodically and

from the government in Bosnia lands
almost free, loans without interest,
gratuitous seed and wood, and subsi-

are known to but few even in Austria,
although this colonization always had
very important political significance.
The settling Of Germans in Hungary
where they are known as 'Schwabs,

ANIMALS
TO PREVENT WORMS IN PIGS
Especially Important to Protect Newly
Farrowed Animals From Intestinal
Parasites.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Recent investigations have shown
the Importance of taking special pre-
cautions with newly narrowed pigs to
prevent their becoming infested with
intestinal worms. Intestinal worms are
very common parasites among pigs,
and cause a great deal of damage to
the young animals. It appears that as
they become older pigs become less
susceptible to Infection. Accordingly,
if pigs can be protected from infection
during the first few weeks of life they
are less likely afterwards to be serious
ly injured by intestinal worms of the
common variety.
The worms are spread by means of
eggs of microscopic size which are de-
posted by the adult worms in the in
testines of infested pigs, and which
pass out of the body in the feces. After
a period of incubation which varies ac-

THE DAY
BY JULIET WILBOR TOMPKINS
Of the ViqiIantes.

6y JULIET WiI6OH IOMPkINS
of the VigiIantes.
It will come some day-do you rea.
lie it? On some one glorious day the
enemy will cry, ''Kamerad!" In good
earnest, and there will be peace.
Picture that day. The crowds in the
streets are going about their business,
the Red Cross rooms are humming
with work, the thousand war activities
are grinding at full speed, every moth
er and father is facing the morning
with heart braced for loss, every
loyal citizen is at his post Of service :;
and suddenly the news!
The crowded avenues turn white {;
all up and down their length they have
blossomed white with the open news
papers that have magically sprung in
to every ones outstretched hands.
Everybody in the long, stopped stream
of humanity holds newspaper or
reads his neighbor's; everybody knows
everybody, shares with everybody {;
strange hands clasp, strange eyes,
meeting, overflow; and there is just
democracy, but Those boys-those
good boys-they can come home ~
And the second thought will be, "Weve
done it! We've put it through"
And then, standing there, they begin
to sing the men with barred heads
they send up such song as the skies
have never heard since time was
GLORY, glory, hallelujah !"-"Praise
God, from whom all blessings flow !"
The melting pot is a slow process
that song will melt all into blood
brothers at the first chord. Oh, how
they will sing, those standing men and
| women! And then with one impulse
they will surge into the churches, into
| the cathedralS-fOr when man has
been granted the supreme boon, he
| must fall on. his knees, whether he
knows God or not. And no one who
rises up from that silence will ever
lose its mighty vibration.
That day is not a vision; it is com.
ing as surely as tomorrow. Then will
you have it tomorrow? Or will you
put it off for four more bleeding years
1t is in your hands. Every effort
every dollar, you give to service, short
ems the waiting If all gave all they
could, the day could not hold back an
other hour. When you buy the things
you most want, you are not conscious
Of sacrifice in paying the sum de
manded. Fix your eyes on the day
the day when the avenues will sudden
ly blossom white with the news o.
peace-and you will want that with 81
burning-an urgency that you will come
running with it's price.
