canning demonstration contest between
teams representing the canning clubs
from Potlatch, East Coce, tennessee
and Moscow. The ontest was in charge

the younger ones. The giving of the

RAILROAD MEN ARE
PATRIOTIC WORKERS

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. February 26.
w. N. Mitchell, of Atlanta, Southern
representative of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, spent yesterday in the
city visiting his transportation friends
and shippers. He came here with
President Munson, of the Georgia
Southern and Florida railway from
Macon in the latter's private car
Speaking of the congestion of the
traffic on the railways, Mr.. Mitchell
said in part:
Where there was great congestion
on the railroads it is being relieved,
and will be continued to be relieved,
as the unprecedented winter weather
is becoming weather of the past The
railroads in the east and west have
undergone the most terrible weather
ever known in their history, long and
continuous, heavy SHOWS, heavy ice in
the rivers. The recent warm weather
melting the SHOWS and breaking up
the ice, which had formed into gorges,
that had, in breaking kown down the
rivers with great rapidity, breaking
down bridges, flooding destroying
tracks, and thus increasing congestion,
but as spring has opened these con-
ditions will pass.
Mr. Mitchell was asked in regard to
cooperation with the government by
the railroad men He stated unhesi-
tatingly, that in the South at all points
that he had been he finds that there
is 100 per cent cooperation by the
railroad men with the government
and that the speech delivered a few
months ago by Daniel Willard, presi.
. dent of Baltimore and Ohio railroad
was that the railroad men must first
be patriotic American citizens, stand
ing back of the administration to win
the war, and secondly, railroad men
Mr.. Mitchell is telling his shippers
that he feels deep appreciation for al
past courtesies and cooperation, tina
he is ready and gladly willing to hell
them in every way to trace and get
through their traffic, use his best eff
forts in furnishing cars, and doing ev
erything for them that is consisten
with his first duty in doing his bi

BOY SCOUTS To HELP
GET RID OF RABBITS

LONDON, February 26.-In many
ways the Boy Scouts have rendered
valuable national service since the
was started. Now, in response to an
appeal from the Food Controller they
are going to help the farmers kill rab,
bits
From the point of view both of fooa
production and crop protection" says
the Food Controller" the killing of rab-
bits at the present time is a national
ard public service. Every rabbit kill
ed represents roughly two and half
pounds of food for the nation. and
means also one enemy the less for the
crops and the farmer.

PARIS, Oct. 80. Correspondence of
the Associated Press. 1.-The only deco
rations worn by Private Luke Thayer,
Jr., of the United States Marines up
to two years ago were those received
about his optics when he settled his
disputes in the good old Yankee way.
Today, Luke, who is a trifie over
nineteen years old, wears three cam
paign ribbons, croix de guerre with
a palm, two wound stripes and two
other stripes indicating a years SER
vice in France.
Incidentally he is wearing half a
dozen scars from Roche shrapnel and
bullets.
Luke is the son of the chief of pc.
lice of Georgetown, Pa. He was liv-
ing at 1907 Arch street, Philadelphia,
when recruiting poster caught his
eye and decided to see the world
through the medium of the u. S. Ma
rine Corps travel agency. By stretch
ing his five feet six to the full limit
and by looking the recruiting officer
in the eye without blushing while he
swore he was within the legal age

were called for to storm the two

The twelve divided into two bodies,

out of action temporarily. Since that
time he's recovered enough to have
had the war cross pinned on him, and
he's happy, for the surgeons have told
him he will get back into action soon
This wouldn't be such a bad old
war;" said Thayer, IF only those
French generals wouldn't insist on
kissing a guy when they pin a medal
on him."

ACTORS ENTERTAIN

81 should like to convince the peo-

has occurred at Great Lakes training

frankly say that 1t is only through
the tireless work of doctors, nurses

that the boys received the best OF

could have done the work as efficient

splendidly treated and all sources Of
amusement are offered to them to

My Dear Doctors:
Two weeks ago when I came to you,
l was almost a complete wreck, snf-
fering from heart and stomach trouble.
/ was SO bad that could not walk
more than few feet at a time. I
would fall down aud everything would
turn black and would lose conscious
ness for an hour at a time. l could
not eat anything without the most
misery. l would bloat up until could
hardly breathe and 1t seemed as
though my heart would quit beating.
I was very badly discouraged. l had
doctored with a number of doctors in
Wabash and Peru and went to Ohio
to doctor and take a hospital treat
ment, but received no benefit. 1t kept
gradually growing worse until l con-
suited you. I want to say how after
two weeks treatment l am a different
man. My heart action has become
strong. / can walk any distance that
l want to without becoming exhausted.
Can rest good of nights and in fact
feel as though I had new lease on
life.

too highly to anyone suffering as | was
and will be glad to recommend you
to any one seeking good health.

AMERICAN NAVAL BASE, France,
Oct. 80. Correspondence of the Asso
ciated Press) Here on this rugged
Breton coast there is an American
naval establishment which is a sort
of composite Of the busy activity OF
the navy department at Washington
and of one of the big navy yards on
the American seaboard.
Vice Admiral Wilson, commanding
the American naval forces in French
waters, has his headquarters here,
with an executive staff auartered in
one of the largest buildings of the
city, fronting the Place President Viii
SON. American bluejackets are on
guard at all the entrances, and steady
files OF American naval officers and
sailors crowd the corridors on their
various duties
The streets are filed with American
sailors on liberty parties" often 5000
and 5000 in a single party. And on
the water front there is the hustle and
activity of a huge navy yard. with
scores of American naval craft and
transports lying in the harbor, and the
shore line alive with vast naval in
stallation.
Besides the rush of the port itself,
this is the naval administration center
for 800 miles of the French coast,
divided into three districts, with a
number of the chief ports into which
the masses of Aberican men and ma
terial are pouring.
Aside from the American transport
fleet which comes and goes, there is
a standing personnel of officers and
men in these districts, with some 50
ships, destroyers, repair ships, con-

American in German
Prison Camp Suffers
for Want of Clothing

OXFORD, o., Oct. 30.-Andrew Rob-
inson. an Oxford boy who was taken
prisoner by the Germans last April,
writes that he has only one suit of I'M
derwear and one pair of socks. For
several weeks he has been ravelling
out the tops OF the socks to get yarn
with which to darn the feet. He says
he doesn't know what he will do when
cold weather sets in. Packages of
food sent to him in the care Of the
Red Cross reach him all right. and he
has enough to share with other pris-
oners, but no articles of clothing have
ever reached him, although many
have been sent.
