COMFORT BAGS PLEASE ALL
Nothing Given Out by the Red Cross
Is More Appreciated by the
Soldiers on Service.

The following is an extract from a
letter of Red Cross hospital repre-
sentative:
"The men like the comfort kits bet
ter than anything the Red Cross gives
them. We have asked dozens of them
what they like best of all that is given
them-t0baccO, magazines, amuse-
ments, etc.-and they all say at once
the comfort kits and toilet articles.
They come in from the. front without
even a toothbrush, and when l send
the bags around by the. other patients,
they come back and say: Say, you
oughter see how pleased those guys
were-they said it was just like Christ
mas. They were all sitting up in bed
looking at the things in their bags
"The other day one man who had
lost his right hand, called me over to
him and said: Here, I'll donate my
sewing-klt. My wife has got to do
mine after this. I'm out of it. You
can give this to some other fellow who
needs It, He had heard the others
asking for sewing-kits all down the
ward. They are in great demand and
very hard to get"

Hold No Grudge.

Time brings many changes. Take
for instance the fellows who volun-
teered their services when war was
declared and who have since been pro-
NOTED to be commissioned officers.
Some Of these men toiled in shops and
offices and had to toe the mark for
clerks or foremen to get fired. Then
came the draft and these same clerks
and foremen became doughBSys and
now take orders from their former Of
flee boys and employees. Some humor-
Gus stories have come to light from
the nearby cantonments, but let 1t be
said to the credit of the former office
boys, they have not made life I'M
bearable for their superiors,. although
they have had the opportunity to do
so. AS an illustration of this the 9th
er day doughboy was serving mess
to his top sergeant. AS he did so he
spilled some dressing from the salad.
The sergeant noticed this and smiled.
"Just about year ago was serving
you with SOUP" said the sergeant, at the
same time mentioning the hotel where
he had worked as serving man, "and
you gave me the devil because 1t was
cold. I'm not going to kick because
you spilled the dressing. I'm going to
treat you right" And that is the gen.
eral spirit throughout the camps.

THREE KILLED, Is INJURED
In C. T. r. Wreck At West Fall
mouth, Me-, Nov. 21st.

The Montreal express leaving here
at 2:15 p. m. and due in Portland
at 745, was wrecked at West Fal-
mouth, Me. Thursday evening the
21st.
The present toll of dead is three.
Fred A. Little, 60, and John H. Van
ier, SO, who were riding in the smok-
ing car, died soon after the accident.
William c. Rollingson, a travelling
salesman of 100 Revere street Port
land, died Friday morning at the
Maine General Hospital. Fifteen
others were severly injured, but are
recovering.
An official statement from the
Grand Trunk Railroad gives the cause
of the accident as broken rail and
not to spreading rails as was previ-
ously reported. The accident occur
ed at 1880 Thursday night as the
Montreal express due in Portland at
7:45 was near the West Falmouth
station. Trhee passenger coaches
were derailed and overthrown in the
ditch as the trucks struck the broken
rail. The train was composed of five
cars and heavy engine and was 60
ing at moderate speed. The mail
car and the baggage car did not
leave the rails but the smoker, a
passenger coach and a parlor car
made up the section of the train
wherein the fatalities and injuries
occurred.
Fully so or more Of the pass
engers suffered injuries to some de-
gree, being hurled against the sides
of the cars and cut by flying glass
The people riding in the parlor car
escaped with slight injuries as this
conveyance did not turn completely
over and the passengers in that car
were few.
Although the West Falmouth sta
ton is fully a mile from the scene
o. the accident, the crash could be
plainly heard there, so plainly, that
the railroad employees at once sent
word to Portland calling for assis-
tance. The passengers who were un-
hurt, or were only suffering minor
injuries organized themselves into a
relief party and at once went to the
aid of those who are suffering injur-
les, and saved from death. Work
had to go on in absolute darkness
and it was only when the crew from
West Falmouth arrived on the scene
with their lanterns that there was
any light.

HERRING FISHERS Do WELL
Splendid Catches and High Prices
Have Been the Rule Among Them
for Many Years Now,

The herring fisher works always on
the night shift, not because the fish
feed at night-herring take no known
bait-but because they can be seen at
night.
Taking their cue from the whale or
seagull as to the location of the her
ring, the boats go off two by two (for
they work always in couples) late In
the evening to the fishing ground Ar
rived there, they stop their motors,
and gliding silently over the dark wa
ters they look for the fish,
One of the men bumps the anchor
two or three times on the bow of the
boat, and instantly Il patch of water
lights up with bright phosphoreScent
CLEAN. 1t IS the herring, and the ring
net (now more generally used in the
west of Scotland than the driftnet) is
lowered. 1t is held up by corks and
has small light at one end. This
the partner boat picks up; they circle
around the herring until the two boats
come together when most of the men
climb into one boat, where they draw
the net, with the herring, on board
In this little Highland village the
men of the last two generations have
done well with the fishing. Their
boats, complete with nets and motor,
cost between E3OO and f4OO, but only
the other night couple of boats, own
ed by brothers, divided f750 between
them for one nights catch.-London

boys in service and the life of Pvt.
Foss as he had known him. p.
Private Foss was 21 years old
coming into the last June draft. He
had a brother, Edmund overseas in
the service, and his patriotic purpose
was to do his part in this war. He
tried several times to enlist, and
wanted to get into the navy, but
failed to pass. He persisted, how.
ever, and when the call came fol

One Man from CRANKY in Service

CRANKY has contributed as small
number of men to the war as any
town in the state; lin fact, no town
can have, according to the records of
the adjutant generals office, contri-
buted any less number and been re-
presented in the list that had sent
forth men. The records show only
one man sent from that town. West
more goes Cranky one better and has
sent a sailor and soldier to the war.
Prehaps there are other towns which
have similar records, but these two
are about as little populated as any
two towns in the state.

PRUNE COMES INTO ITS OWN
Has Won Official Recognition as Con-
fection Worthy of Being Served
to Fighting Men.

In the piping times of peace the
prune was the butt of cheap wits and
the bane of the boarder. Now when
the acid test of utility and palatabil-
ity is applied the despised prune steps
into the preferred class-at least on
the American army bill of fare. 1t
has won it's way solely on It's own
merit. The counts in its favor are
food value, tonic value and value as
confection. 1t nourishes, stimulates,
and delights.
The surgeon general of the army
himself testifes to the loyal and help
full support of the once belittled fruit.
He has added his recommendation to
the approving report of the subsist-
ence division. This report tells us that
out of the 1917 crop 20,000,000 pounds
of prunes have been consumed by our
fighting men. Based on size fifty-five,
which is the trade designation Of the
average prrne, the total number con-
sumed would be 1,100,000,000. Placed
side by side it is quite possible that
this total of prunes wouldn't reach
from the American trenches to Berlin,
but each prune, no doubt, is doing its
best to help the Yankee fighters cover
the distance.
There would be sort of poetical
justice in the circumstance if the
cheerful idiot and the other boarders
whose table wit fingered longest about
the patier prune could meet it over
there in Flanders and in Picardy and
find it honored and eXtolled as the
food of fighting men.
