AMERICANS IN FIGHTING LINE.

Americans have for some time been holding sector
of the general line in France and have shown their ability
to cope with the Germans in trench warfare But now
contingent Of troops has been thrown into the real battle
against unknown odds They brgaded with the Brit
sh opposing the drive which the Germans have staked
all their hopes of victory The German troops massed
for attack and there is no way tell their number in adj
of the assault Judging from previous operations
there is at least initial weight of overwhelming num-
bers In the determination to break through scant re-
gard for losses shown Men spent if there were
beundless reserves Under such methods lines cannot
hod they must give way under the sheer preponderance
of numbers. We may expect the Americans to yield
ground at times, but win be sign of defeat Before
they YIELD and while they yielding they will slaughter
the enemy by the thousand until the time arrives when
there are no German reserves to be butchered to
make junker holiday We may expect great casualties
among Americans which win sadden the heart but they
will not be in vain Every American life that is lost will
hasten the end Of the war.

William Roy Smelser.

William Roy, little son of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. C. Smelser, died at an early
hour Sunday morning at their home
near Warrensburg. The little fellow
had been i'll only short time, and as
a result his death came as severe
shock to his loving parents and
friends. This beautiful baby life
was so precious, so frought with bless
ings to his parents that he seemed a
flower of paradise permitted to bloom
for a brief season by their side, then
recalled to its native skies, leaving
the earthly road for them lonely and
dark indeed. Funeral services took
place Monday morning at 10 o'clock.
Interment took place at Warrensburg.

DEATHS
j. Francis Waddle.

Mr.. ]. Francis Waddle, aged 50
years, died at the home of his son, Mr..
Rufus Waddle, on South Water street
this city, Saturday morning at
O'Clock. He had been in declining
health for some time, and while his
death win be a course of much regret
to his friends throughout the county,
it will not come as surprise to those
who have known of his serious illness
so long.
Mr.. Waddle was man of generous
impulses, and never forgot the hospi-
table ways Of the pioneer. The stran-
ger, even though beggar, never fail
ed to find food and shelter if he
sought it at his hands. He had borne
adversely bravely and enjoyed pros
perity quietly. He had filed the va
rious relations of life, as son, hus-
band, father, brother, friend, and fill
ed them we'll. Who can do more? He
leaves four sons. We can only remind
these mourners that he is not dead,
he is only asleep-resting after long
and well-spent life here. Behind the
storm clouds always Turks the rain
bow and when the storm is past it
weeps upon the flowers of the land
and the pearls of the sea. Darkness
precedes the dawning and out of the
blackness of night comes the sunshine
and joy of the day. And SO from the
beauty Of his life take an inspiration
and go forth to live as he lived, so
that when the summons comes you
may say as he did, "All is WELL"
Mr.. Waddle was member of
Greeneville Lodge F. & A. M. Flu
neral services were conducted at Be-
sheba church, ten miles south of
Greeneville, Sunday afternoon, near
the old home of the deceased. The
Masonic fraternity were in charge of
the services. The large crowd which
gathered to pay the last tribute of
respect to this good man was unable
to gain admittance to the little church
and as result the services were con-
Quoted in the little grove surrounding
it. 1t is in the passing away of good
and true men Of this character that
our community is made to suffer an
irreparable loss.

Millions Of dollars worth of agricul-

with an average crop 1t would take the
value q the greater part of the potato
crop of the country to Offset all that
Is lost annually through the fires on
farms.
This Is a dead loss to the nation
for the fact that most individual losers
are partially reimbursed through In
surance does not In the least reduce
the drain on our national resources
and 1t Is loss that is largely pre-
ventable. Simple ways to reduce this
great waste are suggested In Farmers
Bulletin 9O4. Fire Prevention and
for free distribution by the United
State department Of agriculture.
The fire bucket, according to the
writer's of the bulletin. Is the oldest,
simplest and cheapest fire extinguish-
er, and should be In every farm build
ing and home not equipped with more
elaborate fire-fghting equipment.
Round Bottom Buckets Best.
Any kind of bucket filed with water
and placed handily is good. but spe-
cial fire buckets with rounded bottoms
like kettle are best. There Is no
temptation to use such buckets for
ordinary purposes and they are much
more likely to be left hung on the
brackets or In the round holes cut for
them In shelves. Any kind of fire
buckets should be specially painted or
labeled and never used for any pur-
pose other than fire fighting. They
should be placed near entrances and
near the top of stairways or ladders
where they can easily be reached on
entering the building or loft. Several
buckets nested In a barrel of water
are an effective device.
Needless to say. the fire buckets
should always be kept filed by replac-
ing the water lost by evaporation.
