ANECDOTES ABOUT F0CH

The appointment of General Foch as
geneRalissmo of the Allied forces mas
brought out new crop of stories about
him. Some Of the best are, related by
M Meunier- Surcouf, deputy from Saint
Brieuc, who served for twenty months on
Foch's staff at the beginning of the war.

whether on the reservation, in the
training camp, or over there, he will
gather knowledge and understanding of
the great principles he helps to defend
and come out of conflict an element
of real and progrea3ive strength in our
national life"
True, and he will come out of the
conflict" in an inquiring mood that will
make possible oppressive missionary
effort among the tribes. The posi-
bilities Of the war for bringing rapidly
to the fore 'the latent potentialities of
citizenship among the Indians" and
converting them to our national ideals
are also possibilities afforded for the
influence of the church.
A door of opportunity will be opened
which the church must not overlook
nor fail to enter. When the Indian
shall return from the war-path leading
toward a new day for democracy. let it
be to find a peace path leading to
new day Of hope for his race.

AROOSTOOK COUNTY NEEDS
FARM HELP.

A very critical situation confronts the
potato raisers of Aroostook, in that there
is a shortage of several hundred workers
to harvest the bountiful crop that is now
ready to be picked.
The season is under way; the farmers
of Aroostook are utilizing every means at
hand to get sufficient labor locally, going
so far as to defer the opening of the
schools fer several weeks, and getting
out into the fields themselves with their
families; but they are still short large
number of workers If the crop is to be
gathered without severe loss.
Agriculture has been classed by the
Government as war work, because the
raising of foodstuffs in abundant quantity
is fundamental in war time. Every per-
son who serves in this connection can
rest assured that he is not only helping
the war program, but his own financial
condition as well. The day rate has been
set at So. so to 500 per day and board,
and the piece, rate at cents to IL cents
per barrel and board. The farmers advise
that they can use women in this work as
we'll as men, and urgently request that
people from all sections who can possibly
leave their other duties for a period of
six weeks or SO, accept the challenge and
take up this work.
