WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
NORTHWEST OF vERDUN, October
4, $3.50 pm. (by the Associated Press).
The American ayiators again COW
cred themselves with glory and per-
formed almost the impossible in to-
days drive. Dawn broke with mists
heavy over the trenches and the coun-
try across which the Americans were
to go, and it was hours before the
weather cleared sufficiently to permit
of any observation to speak of.
The splendid liaison that marked the
days operations, and which was near
ly ideal under the circumstances, was
due in great part to the work Of the
avia4ora. who countless times risked
their lives in reconnoitering. attack

EXAMPLE OF A TRUE SCOUT.

A scout in Asheyille, s. c., has
made mn unusual performance as n
government dispatch bearer" Fred
erIeh James Mech, thirteen years Of
age. turned In the names Of $50 citl-
zens to whom he had given copies of
the presidents Flag day address.
He gets up early and works late TO
help his mother and sister He goes
to school and is a good scholar. He is
always either present nj the weekly
meetings Of the troop or presents a
good excuse. In addition to the spe-
cial government work, he placed per
sonally more than $50 food conserva-
ton pledge cards In as many windows
of private residences All this was
modestly done, for his manner is quiet

Monument Business Prospects.

There have been bright spots in the
monument business during the past year
and there seems to be no reason for Sc
rious worry about the prospects for 1918
The business man who now lays down
and fails to put forth the best there is in
him TO make his business contribute TO
our prosperity is a Stacker.
Men in the monument industry can do
their bit by increasing their sales and
their profits.
There are many reasons for encourage
ment over the prospects for 1918. Every
farmer in the country has made more
money during the last year than he ever
made in two years in days gone by.
Every working man in America has a
Job if he wants to work and his wages
are higher proportionately than the in
creased cost of living. The bank de-
posits in the United States in 1917 were
over four billion dollars in excess of the
highest record of the past. Our exports
amounted to over six billion dollars, an
enormous increase over the past, and the
prospects are that this trade will be
permanent 1t is true that the railroad
situation during the past year has caused
all of us many anxious moments, but 1t
is among the possibilities that the ae-
ton of the president IN taking over the
railroads viii result in an improved sery,

as they never before enjoyed in times of

When Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt asked
