you brave little woman "car-
rying on" while your loved
one is fighting, and to you
Nam, toiling night and day to
keep the home together while
brother is away. They pay
their tribute to you old soldiers,
still trying to do your bit" in
spite of age and poverty, and
to you men, who unable to ac-
cept the heavier burdens of
youth, are still denying your
self of food and recreation in
order that you may help finan-
cially to win the war. They honor
you men Who are preaching the
gospel of patriotism and SER
vice, and you one enlightened
farmer producing "over- twice
us much as ever before" To
you doctors trying to conserve
health, to you men cutting down
unnecessary labor, to you boys
who are raising a pig to help
the worlds food supply, honor
and credit is due.
What of the Reverse Side of
the Picture:
You will note that not one of
the members of the Regiment
referred to writes in this way:
II am a merchant. / have
Gone a splendid business owing
to good conditions in this section.
Out of gratitude to the country
that has educated and protected
me / propose to cut out extrav-
agances and subscribe 10 per
cent of my savings to the Lii
erty Loan"
The one solitary pledge from
a farm owner brings into strong
relief the attitude of several
hundreds of men in this COM
munity referred to who, I'M
doubtedly, own farm lands. We
hoped to have been able to re-
port many replies along the fol-
lowing lines.
II derive my income from
products Of the land. ! have
made more money this year
than ever before. l feel it to |
be my duty to subscribe to the
limit of my ability to the Lib
erty Loan, and to raise or en-
courage the raising of hogs,
winter wheat and every thing
else which will help feed our
soldiers"
Unfortunately, there is hut
one such reply. In fairness
it should be said that the far
mer living out on his farm was
not approach ed to enlist in this
regiment, but the fact remains
that many an owner of farm
land lives in this purely ag-,i-
cultural community.
Again, not one said, 81 have
made money to the extent that
/ do not have to work now. II
cannot remain idle, / will get to
work producing something need
ed by our boys over there. My
little fortune is at the disposal
of the Government"
Hundreds of trim little houe-
es, automobiles, and well dress
ed people lead one'to believe that
there are plenty of people in
this thriving little city who
could have written in this
strain. They did not do so.
These People the War
Cannot Be Won
1t is useless for the tired lit
tie school teacher to wear her ,

that the mother and the wife Z

 LEPER VICTIMS

HONOLULU.-Mother Superior Marianne of the Catholic Order of St. Francis, friend of Robert Louis Stevenson and for thirty years in charge of the Catholic Sisters hos pital work among the inmates of the leper settlement at Kalaupapa, . island of Molokai. died there re- gently. She was buried in the church at kalawao, where lies the body of Father Damien, the martyr priest Sister Marianne was S1 years old and had never visited the mainland after her arrival in Hawaii in 1883.
 { For a number of years she con- ducted the hospital at Wailuku, is land of Maui, and went to Kalaupapa in 1888. She had been a sister of the Order of St. Francis for sixty five years, taking the veil at Syra- cuse, New ork, the mother house of the order Born in Germany, she came to America when a young girl and lived for a time at Utica. : During the reign of King kala- kaua in the early eighties, when lepers were being segregated on Molokai, it became imperative that more nurses be obtained to care for the unfortunates. Walter Murray Gibson, an American and premier of the kingdom of Hawaii under Kalakaua. made known the wants of the monarchy to the head of the Catholic Missions.
 Arrangements were made with the Order of St Francis and sever nuns arrived here from Syracuse in 1883 Of this party, three sur vive Sister Marianne. These arc Sister Bonaventura, Sister Renats and Sister Cresencia

AMERICANS SILENCE
 GERMAN BATTERIES
Considerable Damage Done by Our Barrage Fire-Attempted Raids by Teptons Are Stopped by the British.

With the American Army in France, Fob 23-In the American sector nortbwest of Toul today the Germans tried the tactics of concentrating ar +;llerv fire on one of the American nositions, apparently with the purpose of obliterating it. The American c,ns immediately punished the Ger man batteries with a doubly heavy retaliatory fire and then swept the enemy lines with vicious barrage, undoubtedly inhicting considerable damage.
 The German guns promptly ceased fire. Whether they were silenoed or stopped firing for other reasons is un- known. but since that time hardly a shot has been fired from that point.
 Last night German patrol was found once more within the American wire. It was driven back by machine gun and rifle fire. American patrols worked freely without interference,
 The Germans today dropped into the American trenches an entirely new type of bomb, resembling a base ball. No damage was done.
 Along the front generally there was less firing, owing to low visibility. The Germans continued to shell their targets in the towns behind the lines, adding one town which hitherto had not been shelled.

RULING ON POULTRY

The following communication from the food administration will explain itself: "The following rule has been adopted in connection with special rules and regulations governing deal CTS in poultry and eggs. Rule four teen, the licensee shall not, between Feb. II, 1918, and April 30, 1918, pur- chase, ship, sell or negotiate the sale of any live or freshly killed hens or bullets; provided, however, that this shall not prevent the purchase, ship ment or sale between Feb. II and Feb. 23, 1918, of hens and bullets which were either killed or shipped prior to Feb. II, 1918, to markets for sale as food and provided, further, that nothing in this rule shall prevent the purchase, shipment or sale of live hens or bullets for egg production purposes effective Feb II, 1918. U. s. Food Administrator.
 Under this ruling, and as the food administrator says, this means that farmers must not sell their hens, nor their bullets, and dealers must not negotiate for the purchase of hens or bullets unless for laying purposes until May 1. Country dealers, some of whom have asked for the meaning of this ruling, are somewhat at loss to understand it. The object is to save all the egg-laying chickens dur ing the egg season for laying pur- poses, so as to produce as large a supuply of eggs as possible and con- serve as many eggs as possible for consumption.
 This allows only the shipments of turkeys, male spring chickens, stags and old roosters, guinea hens, ducks and geese.
