TRENCH LIFE IS THE THING
 AT THE FRONT

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, March 19. - Here's an incident that happened in a little shell spattered town in the rear of our lines which shows how the average Ameri- can soldier feels about life in the trenches. It was just at dusk. A lone sentry was walking up and down in front of an abandoned church, upon the door of which was a little printed sicn conveying the information that in the event of a gas alarm the church bell should be rung for minute. 1t was the sentry's duty to pull at the hell rope, should occasion arise.
 He was plaStered with mud from head to foot. A substance not unlike red mortar was ground into his put ties. There was d dent in the cantecn that swung at his waist, the top of his shraDnel helmet bore red, muddy stains; his face was covered with a growth of about three days of hair.
 Failing to see a passing captain of artillery, he did not salute. The cap tain asked him few pointed ques- tions, gave hinl few pointed inst,uc- liens about saluting and passed on.
 "Good Lord" remarked the sentry "I have been out of the trenches - days TOW and am going back tonight perfectly happy. There used to be a time when l thought a trench was about the last place on earth to spend q week or so. But l have changed my mind. There is that officer, for in- stance, l ran into him up on the line not long ago and he was as nice as could be. Now because 1 did not see him I catch h -.
 Yes sir, give me the trenches every time. l like 'em. 1 would rather be in a front line trench than any other place I know of in France. There is something doing there all the time end a man is a man and knows it
 Next time we are relieved I think l shall ask if I can't stay with the re- lief. I don't want to come back here again and stand guard over the end of bell rope where there is nothing go- ing on. Nearly every other man I know feels the same way about it. They would pick the line every tine"

Britisl, Turn Back Attack Made Northeast Of Ypres-In- fantry Active on Ital-

New York, Zee 30.-Aside from bon bardmcats ard reciprocal artillery duels, little is going on in the major thcat9rs ., the WG'. On the french fro3t the weather is sill cold and this. with the snow that covers the grouna everywhere, is impending ov- c.a.iC.s on a large scale.
 Tae Golmaas Saturday night essay ed an attack against the British northeast of Ypres, where for the last several days they had been laying down 2 heavy preparatory artillery fire. The attack, however, was fu- tile, for the British, ever on the watci, raked the Germans with their fire and repulsed them with consider able losses.
 Likewise, attempts by the Germans t.. carry out raids on small French posts near St. Quentin, Beezonvaux and Vanquois resulted in failure and in addition the enemy lost men made prisoner. There is still considerable intermittent artillery activity along the entire French front.
 Artillery Keeps up Fire.
 In the Italian thea-er, the infantry for the present is idle, but the big guns continue to carry out mutual bomberdments against opposing posi- tions in the hill region from the Asia go plateau eastward to the Piave riV- CT This activity is particularly pro- nounced on the Monte Tomba sector and few miles to the east on both sides of Pederobba. near the upper reaches q the PiaFe river,

teens and rest stations have been established at the front. in Paris, and at important railway centers.
 Over 10000 French children are be- ing cared for by the Society. At Evi- an, near the Swiss border, is a great American hospital for children that have been repatriated from points within the German lines. Five large military hospitals, great tuberculosis hospital near Paris, and twenty civilian dispensaries in the American Army zone are being operat- ed.
 Fifty base hospitals have been or ganized in America by the Red Cross, and more than dozen have been all ready sent to France. Each unit is planned to take care of 800 beds, but several of those in service have been increased to twice or four times the unit size.
 Forty-five ambulance companies, a. total of 5,5SO men, have been raised by Red Cross chapters and mustered into the Army Medical service.
 The year 1918 starts under the dark est war clctld that has ever over-hung the land. But never was war-cloud provided with more resplendant lin- ing of silver than the American Red Cross Society-the entire nation, mob- ilizei for charity-is setting against the darkness oe the present hou.
 The official position of the American Red Cross has been defined by Presi- ient Wilson as follcGHs:
 'Iuttiefield relief will be effected through Red Cross agencies operating under the supervision of the War De- partment, but civilian relief will pre- 5cnr a field of increasing opportunity Ii, .rtich the Red Cross organization is especially adapted to serve, and l am hopeful that our people will realize that there is probably no other agency gllh which they can associate them- ;cl,es which can respond so effe ctive

MORE PAsTUT Es NEEDED TO RE DUcE THE COST OF MILK PRO-
 DUCTiON IN ARKANSAS.

A committee of experts with the Agricultural Extension Division in their survey to determine the cost of milk production around Little Rock and Hazen found the following to be true:
 "The cost of feed and pasture per COW per year was $114 at Little Rock and $65 at Hazen, or a difference of $49. Each Little Rock COW ate s pounds more rouhgage per day and half pound more concentrates per day in the winter season than did their HaZen competitors. They also ate } 1-2 more pounds of concentrates per day in the summer season. The Little RCck cows produced 3,S23 pounds of milk per year while the Hazen cofs produced 3,340 pounds. The cost of feed per quart of milk was about two cents higher at Little Rock than at Hazen."
 This difference was undoubtedly due to the fact that the dairymen at Hagen live on prairie and have plenty or pasture Wnlle the Little Rock dairymen live on farms often not exceeding 10 acres and buy prac- tieally all of their feed. According to the committee, Arkansas' need for the economical production of milk is better cows and moro permanent pas. lures made up of Bermuda grass, les pedeza, buIr and white clover for the central and southern part of the state and orchard graas for the northerr part of the state.

 B ..41..... !. f--GJ,!-
Some Of tI;o Things the Red Cross is Doing Outlined ill Brief F0rm-Plans for
 Future.

The Red Cross, which had 8uca wonderful record in Arkansas, begins its work for 1918 with a huge roll e. new members as result of the Christ mas drive.
 Appropriations already made have used up nearly half of the one hundred million dollar War Fund subscribed last summer. A drive for a second fund will have to be made next spring.
 Sixteen thousand graduate nurses are enrolled with the Red Cross.
 Already 1,671 O. these nurses are in France; ? IFS more are in the eantca- ments and stations over here Those selected and organized for service with the military forces but no5 yet mobiiiz- ed number 2.343.
 This makes total of 6692 Red Cross nurses in active service.
 II is estimated that z0.060 of the 00'- GOO trained nurses of tEe country will be needed by the end of next year.
 The grey-clad army nurse is the best symbol of the work of the Red Cross. But the Society has shown people other ways of doing their bit besides nurse ing.
 American women are making in Red Cross work-rooms and in their homes surgical dressings, knit goc1s, hospit- al garments, and comfort kits to an estimated value of $36 100000,
 The surgical dressings go to every ship in the navy, and to 2,0OO war hos pitals behind the lines in France.
 The Red Cross has promised to ship to France 5000. 900 dressings a month for the next six months,
 More than 5,O00,000 worth of yarn has been purchased or ordered for the Red Cross, to be knitted into sweaters and mufflers.
 This great volume of volunteer pro- duction in America supports a huge distributing establishment in France.
 Tour-hundred men in the transport atitn department there are handling $50 tons of supplies a day, A ware house personnel of 125 operates stor- age capacity of 100000 tons. More than 400 motor cars, most of them heavy trucks, are in service.

Economy and sav- ing and the lending of savings to the government will constitute, during the balance of. the war, one of the high est forms of patriotic service. The campaign, however, is of particular interest to students of fundamental conditions, because in addition to per- forming patriotic service it is abso- lutely sound from an economic point of view.
