Der Of the armed guard on the Aztec.
This was the first United States
merchant vessel carrying an armed
guard to be sunk. The Aztec went
down on April 1, 1917, presumably
torpedoed.
The night was dark, the sea rough
and cold and the guard unable to
sight the submarine. One Of the
boats after getting away from the
doomed vessel fought for some hours
in heavy sea until sighted by a
french patrol. The boat was in
charge Of Lieut.. William F. Gres-
ham, and he and all his men were
saved, with the exception of the boat

lost his life through his efforts to as

Eopolucci entered the service in 1915
at Rosebank, N. Y, having already

Little Housing Is Needed
For the Raising of Sheep;
Fenced Pastures important

Equipment for raising sheep on
farms need not be expensive. In
mild ATTITUDES, writes an expert, little
housing is needed, and the main need
is for fencing and pastures of suffi-
cient number and size to allow fire.
quent changing of flocks to fresh
ground to insure health. Where win
tiers are longer and more severe build
ings and sheds are necessary to fur
nish protection from storms, though
no special provisions are needed for
warmth. Dryness, good ventilation
and freedom from drafts are the first
requisites of buildings for sheep. Con-
venience in feeding and shepherdlng
must also be held in mind in locating
and planning such buildings or sheds.
Small fiocks can be cared for in Sec
tons of barns having stabling or feed
storage for other stock, but with a
flock of, say, 100 ewes separate build
ings are desirable. The interior ar
rangement of these buildings should
be such as to require a minimum Of
labor and the least possible moving of
the ewes in doing the feeding and car
ing for them during the Landing sea-
son. A building of this type can also
be utilized for fattening purchased
lambs to be disposed Of before lamb
ing begins in the regular farm flock.
A good supply of feed racks, grain
troughs, ETC., can be provided at small
expense and will save labor and pre-
vent waste of feed.

Cream of Celery Soup.

This is a soup rather too expensive
for the average housewife. Take one
fourth Of cupful of butter and one
fourth of cupful Of flour (four table
spoonfuls), cook until well blended,
then add two cupfuls of cold milk
and cook until thick. Cook a large
bunch Of celery, cut fine, in boiling
water until tender, then rub through
a sieve, saving the liquid and pulp,
using two cupfuls. Add the thickened
milk, season with salt and white pep
per, and if too thick add more milk.
For clam soup use the above recipe,
adding in place of the celery two cup
fuls of minced clans, with the liquor.

OF INTEREST TO
POULTRY GROWERS

Chickens will ''pick up good part
of their living from waste that other
wise would never become of any value.
They will feed themselves to an ex-
tent from grass, weeds, insects and
crumbs and small scraps that If not
eaten by chickens would not become
of food value to man. They will eat
the eggs and larvae from which come
various destructive insects, particu-
Iarly orchard pests. In some orchards
where chickens range the brown-tail
moth has almost disappeared, while
nearby orchards where chickens do
not run are damaged by the pest.
Most of the attention required by
farm f1ocks can be given by the wom-
en- and children of the household. The
question of labor is not puzzling and
uncertain problem in the poultry pro-
duction program. If the farmer in
creases his flock to size suitable to
fit in as a by-product of his general
farming he will find that it will not
require extra help.
Because of these facts-that poultry
as a by-product of general farming
find much of their feed in waste and
require no extra labor-the farmer
will produce meat food at the very
lowest cost. Home consumption OF
this will cut down his living expenses
and enable him to sell more of the ami
NAL meat he produces. He will be
making more money himself, and at
the same time he will be helping Uncle
Sam win the biggest war the world
has ever known.

ed I was old enough to accept employ
ment in it, and for years l worked
as a clerk for the generals father. AS
l remember the Johnny Pershing of
those days he was a quiet, well-be-
haved little boy.'
The elder Pershing was strict in his
discipline. AS the boys grew up he
kept them steadily employed at useful,
wholesome work. By the time John
had reached his teens the family pos
sessions included 16O-acre farm a
mile from Laclede and there the flu
ture soldier worked from spring plOw-
ing to corn husking.
Every morning, if you were ZIP
early enough, you could see John and
jim with their teams going out to the
farm" says G. G. Bigger, boyhood
friend of General Pershing, now a
lawyer at Laclede.
John was worker. His father,
though not unduly severe, was strict
in his requirements; yet 1 never heard
John complain. He always had a gen
uine interest in carrying to success
full finish every piece Of work that he
was directed to do.
Not Genius.
John Pershing was not a genius, y
continues his boyhood friend. HE
possessed a clear, analytical mind, but
no better mind than thousands Of other
boys possess. He was clean in char
acter, absolutely so, and a regular at
tendant at church and Sunday school
at the Methodist Episcopal church, of
which he was member and in which
his father and mother were active
workers. His parents were intensely
religious.
1.-THE traits distinguishing him from
many other boys" concludes Mr.. Big
ger, ''were those that characterized
him as a tireless worker, indomitable
in his purpose to perform every task
set before him. And he never was
tough; he never considered it neces-
sary to seek questionable companions
or places In order to have a good time.
In the wholesouled fashion of healthy
country boy he enjoyed our neighbor-
hood parties, our taffy pullings, our
baseball, fishing and swimming. but he
never resorted to rowdyism."
Though never Quarrelsome, Pershing
was abundantly able to take care of
himself. His old associates proudly
tell OF the first term of school he
taught, when he was eighteen.
1t was at Prairie Mound, in Charlton
county. 1t became his duty in the
course of the term to thrash big boy
and he addressed himself to this re-
sponsibility In his usual direct and Wig
orous fashion. The discipline had the
desired effect on the boy, but brought
the boys father rampant to humiliate
| the young teacher.
John was then only a boy himself
a big, strong. bfbad-shouldered boy,
but only boy" says Captain Henley

A notable sign of preparation for the

old man Card, was burly giant, fully
six feet four and wildly determined
to lick the young teacher.
HE made it plain that nothing else
would appease him. John tried to pre-
sent reasonable view of the situa-
ton, but Card only grew more insolent
in word and gesture.
Showed Iron Determination.
"Then it was, as my children re-
counted at the time, that Johns usual
ly ruddy lips whitened and his big
blue eyes narrowed to steel-gray points.
He stepped toward the big man and
his words had a cold precision that
was truly ominous.

these grounds and stay off as long as
I'm teacher-or I'll kill you

From other sources there is addition

problem he would step promptly to the
blackboard and do 1t in a way that
proved his heart was in the work.
"It was the same at college. At
Kirksville Normal, where we were
classmates, John was a Woodworking
student. He always was thoroughly
interested in his class work and was
always looking forward to the succeed
ing years in the course and the finish.
When we came home at the end Of
our first term l was offered a posi-
ton in store, took it and, by heck,
I'm clerking yet. John had similar
offer, but turned 1t down.
I'm going back to Kirksville, any

post office was robbed. His father was

the folks at home.

y&TyIE|0 that he is not genius
and that luck has not aid
ed him in rising from the ranks.
Advantages he had-outdOor life,
farm work, plain living, good parents
and Christian home. Even yet his
old home town carries the flavor of the
open country. Laclede is scarcely
larger today and no less wholesome
than 1t was forty years ago when It's
three nurseries made it at once the
most important and the most agricul-
tural town in the county, writes A. A.
Jeffrey in New York Sun.
To this tlsiving town Of the SOS
came the generals father, John E.
Pershing, from Westmoreland county,
Pa, where his family had been hon
ored citizens since 1749, the year chos-
en- by John and Frederick Pershing
for their pilgrimage from France to
the new home of freedom in the new
world. The ambitious young Pennsyl-
vanian of the fourth generation from
these early patriots came to Missouri
In 1855 to take q sub-cOntract in the
building of the old Missouri Northern
railroad from st. Louis to Macon. AT
the end of four years he had little of
material value to show for his work !;
but at Montgomery City he had won
bride-Ann Thompson, q fair-haired
Missouri girl with brave, sweet mouth,
honest blue eyes and a heart of gold.
Born In Shanty Near LacIede.
Coming westward from Macon at the
conclusion of the railroad building the
young contractor stopped at Laclede
TO accept the first honest work that
was offered, the roremanship of the
west of Laciede section of the Hanni-
bal and st. Joseph railroad. The Per-
shings started housekeeping in little
shanty two miles west of Laclede. 1t
was there that their first baby, John
Joseph, was born September 10, 1860.
ut was just after the outbreak of
the Civil war In 1851" relates Henry @.
Lomax, now Laclede's pioneer banker,
that the Pershing family came to
town to live and John f. Pershing
opened a general store here.
Their family and ours lived togeth-
,er for several months, as my father
had gone to war and there was not an
empty house in town for the newcom-
erx
when the Pershing store was open
