was nothing in it bu: hard luck and

Chamberlain that he might 60 along.
The young American nier in search
OF experience went along and shot
down two German planes. 1t was a
big flight.
His last day. however, was big

needing aviators, sent the young
American out again. He made one

attacked by an equal number Of Ger
mans. 1t was whirlwind battle.
Lieutenant Chamberlain's second day
of vacation passed at high tempo.
Almost at the start of the battle
the British lost three machines. Lieu
tenant Chamberlain's engine was
struck and damaged and one of his
machine guns damned. Thus handt-
capped. he began his deadliest fight.
Losing altitude, but nevertheless
maintaining furious battle with
pursuing planes he sent one German
into a head -on dive. Then instead of
heading for home with his damaged
machine he managed to climb back
to the field Of battle.

Two Of his companions were en-
gagged in life and death battle with

assistance he probably saved the life
of one or both of these fighters. His
fire sent one assailant crashing
earthward. A second hot volley and
he finished another German. Then
he looped to escape the closing enemy

in No Mans Land. Just before land

shortly after abandoning his machine
he threatened a German patrol Of
three with his compass, succeeding in
taking one prisoner. On the way back
to the lines he picked up a wounded
French officer.
Reporting at the British camp with
this large days work behind him, he

Tales ofthe F1iendLvFOreSt
BY DAVID CORY

I the old Red Rooster and put it away
in the Toulouse.
And then the old rooster got dread
fully angry and he ran at Uncle
Lucky and stuck his spurs into him.
And he tapped his wings and crow
ed. and then he pulled out some fur
from the old gentleman rabbits win
ter overcoat. And maybe he'd have
done more dreadful things If all Of
a sudden something hadn't happen
ed. Yes, sir; something's most like
ly to happen when you least expect
1t. but this time 1t helped dear. kind
Uncle Lucky. And this is what 1t
was:
All Of sudden Robber Hawk flew
down from the sky, and before that
old Red Rooster knew what was the
matter he was snatched up by that
old Robber Hawk and carried away.
And IL he hadn't let go Of the door
knob on the old Toulouse door,
guess 1t would have come off its
hinges and cost dear, kind Uncle
Lucky a. lot Of money to have 1t
fixed.
well, we'll" said the old gentle
man rabbit. II guess that's the last
of him." but 1t wasn't. And some
day I'll tell you how that old Red
Rooster got away from Robber
Hawk
For he was a very tough old fowl
Was that lazy, old Red Rooster.
And he'd always Bhirk whenever he'd
work,
For to any kind of work he wasn't
used ter.
So remember, II you please, II you
have a lot Of leaves,
To take my hired man, whose name
is Brewster.

Did you ever see a rooster a-raLing
with rake? ...
II you haven't. let me tell you, it's
a very funny sight. g."
He'll stop to crow a million times
and then he'll want to fight,
And that. of course, you knows a
great mistake.
And that's just what happened the
next day when the old Red Rooster
came up to see Uncle Lucky, after
reading the advertisement in the
Bunnyyille Gazette.
"Are you sure you know how to
handle a rake?" asked the old gen.
tieman rabbit, and Of course the old
Red Rooster said he did. So kind
Uncle Lucky took him out to the
Toulouse and gave him long
wooden rake and then he took him
back to the front lawn. There are
plenty of leaves" said Uncle Lucky.
Rake then UP into big pile and
we'll have a bonfire tonight, and
maybe We'll roast some sweet pota-
toes and apples.
"Hurrah!' said the old Red
Rooster, and he began to crow.
Hurry up" said Uncle Lucky.
And then the old rooster started in,
and by and by he had a little pile not
higher than his knee. Wasn't he a
slow old worker. Well, ! just guess
he was. And the reason he didn't
rake more leaves was because he'd
stand half the time leaning on the
rake handle watching the automo-
biles go by. And, OF course, when
Uncle Lucky came out to see how
things were going. he was disap-
pointed. And l guess he was angry,
too, for he took the rake away from

FROST PROSPECTS

Chicago. Sept, 1s.-Frost predictions
resulted today in a decided upward
swing of the corn market. The frost
area was expected to include territory
further south than heretofore, notably
in Iowa, Missouri and Kansas. For
the most part, however, trading was
local. Opening prices, which ranged
from Is to Is c higher, with October
$1.52& to S1.53 and November SLABS
to q were followed by moderate
reaction ana then by brisk new adj
vance. ast"
Oats rose with corn. Bears were
handicapped by the continued demand
for the government and for export.
After opening a shade to n a &c
higher, with October 1874 q % to- ",
the market scored further gains.
Lower quotations on hogs weakened

has made a record that his friends
and constituents feel justly proud
of. He has been faithful to
every trust, and filled the Office
as acceptably as it is possible for
any man to do. BY his uniform

State of Mississippi.

Unexpected sugar shortage
has developed from several
caused and it has become neces-
sary to control the use of sugar
by instituting a certificate sys-
tenn covering all sugar. handled
by retailers and wholesalers
through the country.
The plan in general is as fol-
lows: Retailers can obtain sugar
from wholesalers or jobbers, as
the case may be, only upon the
surrender of a certificate issued
from the Food Administrator
office. These certificates are in
turn, sent in by the wholesaler
or jobber to the distributor. and
he will in this way be able to re-
plenish his stock.
In order to provide a sufficient
stock of sugar on hand with the
wholesalers to meet all certifi-
Gates presented, we are pre-
pared to issue on interim" Ger
tifcate for not over a thirty day
supply. The amount of such
interim certifica e will be a thirty
day supply less sugar in transit
at time same is issued.
Applications for interim GER
tificates'' may be made at once.
These applications must state the
amount of sugar in transit and
the amount Of untitled orders
outstanding.

When the War Savings Drive
in Mississippi comes to a close, a
number of counties in the state
will have added new laurels to
their patriotic wreaths.
Some of them, long before the
day set for the opening of the
drive, reported that their allot-
ment had been filled. Their citi-
zens are the kind that want to
see the war end.
Others are tagging behind in
the preliminary work of the
drive. They may be Stacker
counties when the last reports
are in-or they may come to the
front nobly, and show that they,
too, want to stop the killing of
American boys just as soon as
possible.
To permit your county to be a
laggard in the War Savings
Campaign is to admit that you
do not care how many American
lives it takes to squelch the
Kaiser.
A completely organized,
thoroughly alive nation, united
and purposeful. will win this
war in one-third the time that a
nation working at cross purposes,
and unwilling to make the neces-
sary sacrifices will win it.
Every day added to the length
of the war means more deaths on
the other side.
These are your reasons Tor
pIedging to buy every War Saw
ings Stamp you can on June 28.
and for urging your friend and
your neighbor to do the same
thing.
1t should be a matter Of coun-
| ty pride and of state pride that
every quota be over-subscribed.
There have been a few counties
that did not make good records
in the Liberty Loan and Red
Cross drives. These have an OPP
portunity for wiping out this
black mark against them by put
ting over the War Savings drive
speedily, and earnestly.
Mississippi has a big job ahead.
Forty millionsof dollars is q lot
|of money. But the war is a big
thing, and whipping Germany the
biggest job anybody ever tack

led. The only thing to equal the
bigness of the task is the worth
whileness Of it.
This is true Of our forty-mil-
lion quota. Mississippi cannot
fail in this campaign. Nothing
can make her fail except apathy,
indifference, or lack Of under
standing of the purposes of the
War Savings Drive.
If every county comes across,
the states quote will be exceed
ed, and we will have once more
proved our right to stand with
the free peoples of the EARTH.
What sort of record will your
county have to show it's boys
when they come back from
France?
