been rusticating on farm near At

beast, He dug it out. The hands
were gone, the case rusty. lie
wound it up and it licked as lively
as if it had not lain in mother earth
for many moons
The jeweler smiled and told OF a
calf on a farm in Decatur county
which CHANGED by a farmers vest
hanging on a post. The calf dlned
on the vest and included the watch \
in one of the pockets. The calf
grew to cowhood and gave milk and
produced it's kind until age decided
the farmer to fatten and butcher.
Bossy died by VIOLENCE to enrich
the farmers table. The post NOR

lost watch ticking away as if it had
been regularly wound. The jeweleIr.
said the watch had been kept wound
up by the heart beats of the bovine
The watch the preacher foundI

Lawyers Not Needed in Case OF Cas-
llaltieS.

AS soon as large numbers Of
American troops get into the battle
line in France there are necessarily
going to be many casualties. Near
~ all Of the men are insured in
keeping with the war departments
plan. Already a lot of disreputable
lawyers are offering their services
to those whose sons or husbands
have been injured in battle. In or
der to head off these lawyers the
war department has issued the fol-
lowing instructions: Soldiers, sail
ors, or their beneficiaries under the
soldiers and sailors insurance law
need not employ attorneys or claim
agents to collect the insurance, ac-
cording to the treasury department.
Circulars have lately been sent out
by claim agents and attorneys offer
ing to assist persons entitled to. the
benefits of this insurance in collect
ing their claims. The procedure for
the presentation and collection OF
insurance claim is simple. Blanks
may be secured from the Bureau~of
War Risk Insurance at Washington.
The name of the person in service
who was killed or injured, and the
relationship which he bore to the
person making the claim, should be
given.

LIKE MOTHER

Khaki Clad Boy With a Lump in
Throat Welcomes Home
Cooking.

Imagine your boy on troop train
bound for some United States seaport
where transport lies ready to take
him and his regiment cover there. "
He never felt healthier in his life-in
body. In mind? If he finds moments
when his thoughts begin to race back
toward you, wondering what you are
doing, can you blame him if occasion
ally something Jumps in his throat
about as comfortable as billiard ball
And then the train grinds to stand
still. Some one yells, "Big eats; oh,
boy!" as several Red Cross uniforms
flash out in the crowd on the station
platform. For here is a Red Cross
emergency Canteen. Here lie can get
coffee-good hot coffee-sandwiche
candy, tobacco, fruit, postal cards and
almost anything that he may have for
gotten.
Does it help his spirits? Does It?
Does it cheer him to get these snacks
of good home tasting food served by
women like those in his own family
Probably the most valuable part Of the
Red Cross canteen service work is the
effect Of the smile and cheer from the
women who are in charge. Soldiers
write frequently such messages as the
following, indicating their apprecia-
ton Of this branch of Red Cross
work:
"The Red Cross Of Chicago met us
with coffee, sandwiches and post cards.

There are now more than 500 Of
these Red Cross canteens or refresh
ment units located at the important
railroad centers in the United States.
Every commander Of troop train has
list of these canteens, so that he can
call upon the Red Cross for this serv-
ice at these stations en- route.
