LAND

Running a Y. M. G.. A. canteen at
the front is job for regular man
with strong arms and legs. There is
a canteen in Chateau Thierry opened
less. than twenty-four hours after the
Germans evacuated the city that has
its hands full from dawn till late at
night.
The canteen is located in beauti-
full old house opening on a stone
paved court at the front, and upon
with a fountain and a pool behind.
The house has been wrecked by shell
fire, and its exterior has been ravaged
by the Huns. When the Y. M c. A.
moved in, it was uninhabitable be-
cause of the rubbish and filth piled
high in every room by the vandals.
So the first job was housekeeping.
The lower story was cleaned out.
The big salon with it's fireplace was
thoroughly cleaned. A piano was
lifted from canton and put in one
corner. Wooden tables and chairs
were unpacked and put in place so
that the soldiers might have place
to sit and write on the paper that
was put out lavishly for their use.
The adjoining room was fitted with
a makeshift counter for the canteen.
and supplies were toted in and packed
about where they would be handy.
There were cases of biscuits, choco-
late, cigarettes, chewing tobacco, gum,
safety razor blades, shaving cream
and toilette soap. There was smok-
ing tobacco and handkerchiefs and
razors. There was everything that
it was possible to carry to that adj
vanced place in limited transport, and
that experience had shown the BOYS
would want.
The other room was cleaned out for
the headquarters and office of the
Divisional Secretary. He set up his
collapsible cot here, and here he will
sleep until he moves on with a vic
torious army. Other rooms upstairs
were cleaned out, and here the staff
set up their cots and spread their
blanket rolls.
1t was all done hastily, at high
speed. Men who had been prominent
ministers back home scrubbed floors.
A banker hoisted huge cases out of
the depths of a truck. Every man got
down to hard manual labor-labor he
has become accustomed to by months

the writing room was damned to ca.
pacity. The piano was working with
might and main while the boys sur
rounding it bawled familiar songs and
popular airs. Out in the garden a
dozen had found the pool and the

washing, or else, stripped, were
splashing about in the water, en-

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy

This is not only one OF the best and
most efficient medicines for coughs,
colds, Group and whooping cough, but
is also pleasant to take, which is inn
portant when medicine must be CIV
en- to young children. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy has been in use for
many years and has met with much
favor, wherever its good qualities have
become known. Many mothers have
given it their unqualified endorsement.
VIM. Scruby, Chillicothe, Mo-, writes,
81 have raised three children, have
in the house" Chamberlain Cough
Remedy and found it to be the best
for coughs, colds and Group. 1t is
pleasant to take. Both adults and
children like it. My wife and 1 have
always felt safe from Group with it
in the house." Chamberlans Cough
Remedy contains no opium or other
narcotic.

be taken over, the water, gas and
electric Offices could be placed on
the 6rst fcor, thus avoiding the
climbing of long flight of stairs
when one wants to pay light or
water bill
Another objection TO the taking
over of the main building is the
disturbing OF the Red Cross work
which Is being done at this time in
the building. This work is of more
importance than the need of city
hall at this time. AS 1t is, the An.
mex Is being used only for school
board meetings and the Office of the
superintendent Quarters for both
these purposes were provided in the
new High School building and are
not being used.
The school property is the pto-
perty of the city and since the shool
board hasn't any need for it at this
time 1t seems strange that they
don't offer the use of L to the city
administration until such time as
it is needed for school purposes or
that the voters are ready to vote
bonds for a new city hall.

HOW BIG SHELLS ARE TESTED
High Explosives Subjected to Heat
Treatment, Also Tried In a RrineIl
BaII-Testing Machine.

If you wish to test the hardness of
IN apple, the most natural way is to
press down upon it's surface and note
the indentation of your thumb. This
is simple and conclusive evidence. The
French government employs a very
similar test to prove the hardness Of
its high explosive shells, says til Pop
ular Science Monthly.
TO secure the maximum of deStruc-
~tiveneSs, it is important not only that
The steel projectiles should be of a
certain hardness, but also that they
should not be too hard. After the cas-
ing has been roughly formed and hOl-
lowed cot, the shells are subjected to
what is known as Il cheat treatment"
by which the steel is brought to the
correct hardness. TO make dOuhIy
sure, the shells are tested in a Brinell
ball-teSting machine.
This machine tests the hardness of
the shell exactly as your thumb tests
the hardness of the apple. 1t is fitted
with a small, hardened steel ball,
which is pressed into the shell under a
specified load. The indcntation made
by the ball is measured. and if with
in certain limits, the hardness is cor
rect. If not, the shell must be fur
Their treated.

What Becomes of That Cent?

A farmer comes to town with 80
apples, which he sells three for a cent,
getting, Of course, 10 cents for them.
Another farmer, also with 80 ap-
pies, sells them two for a cent, getting
Is cents for his. They get rs cents
in all.
The next time they come in, with
30 apples each, they meet at the edge
of town and put their apples together,
making 60 apples. One man having
sold two for a cent, the other three for
a cent, they decided to sell them five
for 2 cents.
They do so, and when they're
through find out they have received
but "a cents.
The problem is, why did they not
get as much for their apples selling
them five for 2 cents as they did when
they sold them separately, or, what
becomes Of the cent?

far in advance of many in the high
standard of work done and the high
rating given it by the New England
colleges. This has been brought
about by our school board who have
worked tremendously under the pro-
gresslve leadership of DR.. Parlin as
chairman. That this high standard
will be maintained and further pro-
gress made is assured under the
management Of our present school
board. All this progress has been
made on a very modest a%ppropria-
ton, the present tax rate being 75c
on a dollar of the Grand List, and
much below the average cost of a
High school ranking as high as
Island Pond. We have every reason
to ia Ike great pride in our High
school and should more fully appre-
ciate the excellent work of our
school board.
