SEEKING HAPPINESS FUTILE
Experience Not Gained BY Pursuit, but
Comes TO One Who Does Kind
Deed Without Thinking of II.

Those who seek happiness never find
it-a truism that has been going the
rounds since philosophers began get
ting their words into print or upon
craven tablets, observes the Dayton
News. But 1t is we'll to repeat 1t oc-
easl0nally, to keep II ever before the
masses Of humanity, that 1t may be-
come so much a part Of u creed and
faith that the youngest among us and
the Oldest may realize the full meaning
Of the expression.
There is no greater unhappiness
than that of pursuing happiness, for
happiness is never o%vertaken by those
who pursue it. Happiness m to
him who is not thinking of it; to him
who is doing something for others
with never a thought of his " hap
piness. No man has ever yet followed
a eours of conduct with his own hap
piness in view and achieved his pur-
pose.
Service 10 others-that is all there
is 10 life that savors of happiness. The
service need not be great ii Is given
10 few persons to be Of great service.
And those Who are Of great service do
not realize if-they do not start ont
with that in view.
To b. kind and courteous and eon-
siderate of the comfort of others-that
Is the service which brings happiness.
The man who helps n crippled old
woman upon the street car is happier
for doing so. The fellow who stops to
wipe away the tear from the eyes of
a child Who bruised its hand the wom-
an who visits a sick neiehbor 10 see II
she can be Of any use the man who
puts another in position TO help him
self-these little services are quite
great in the realm of things that go to
make for happiness. And they are
possible with all of us.

CAR BRINGS
A SHOWER BATH
EVERY AFTERNOON
Babies Grow Winter as Doctor and

Door to Door.

Good morning. We have come TO
give the children their BATH this. Of

from of the motor car slides a porfa-

For the mex half hour that little

the blessing Of "A warm. clean shower
pumped by the doctor falls ON the head
of Young France, while the nurse
scrubs %religiously and the d~arkening

And as you might well imagine, the
Riddles like 1t, except the last cold
dash that the doctor slyly engineers
by quickly transferring the supply
pipe into a bucket OF cold water-for
~hygienie effect.
And what a blessing II is to these

have been without all of life's COM

1t is perhaps understandable TO
them that les Americans" out of

For they have seen a great miracle

minlstering angel who has taught them

CUBA HELPING US IN WAR

Hun.

Neutrality-suspicious. latest war Of
fering took the shape Of a consignment
of 100000 cigarettes and $500 pack
ages Of smoking tobacco for distribu-
ton to the American soldiers in France.
In transmitting the gift, the Cuban
minister explained that it was sent by
the Cuban people in recognition Of the
work OF the American army and as a
token Of the sincere friendship be-
tween Cuba and the United States.
This is not the most important con-
tribution Cuba has made. While larg-
er nations of this hemisphere have
been doing their best to defeat the
Prussian dream of world conquest,
Cuba has not been idle. Her declara-
ton Of war came on the same day as
our own. Since then, Cuba has fur
nished us sugar and has sent us ships.
She has made outright presents of
money and has established an active
Cuban Red Cross organization headed
by Sonora de Menocal, wife Of the pres
ident Of the republic. She has passed
selective service law and has issued
$20,OO0,0OO worth of government bonds.
American officers have been invited to
the island to train her troops. There
has been constant cooperation be-
tween Cuba and the food authorities
Of the United States. Everything with
in her power to do, Cuba has done.

INCREASE IN POTATO YIELD
Average in This Country Has Risen
From II to 81 Bushels
Since 1894.

Washington.-The yield of potatoes
per acre is gradually increasing, the
records Of the bureau of crop esti-
mates show. During 1S66-1974 the
average was 81 bushels, but it declined
to 71.3 bushels in 1875-1894. Per-
ceptible recovery was made in the fol-
Lowing ten-year period and a much
larger recovery, rising to a new high
water mark, was reached in 19O5-1914,
with it's average yield of 81 bushels
rer acre.
This increase is due to various
causes, among which are greater spe-
c:alization Of production, more inten-
sive treatment and higher fertility of
the soil. The ten-year average yield
If 81 bushels per acre in 19O5-1914 was
followed by 96.3 bushels in 1915, 8O.5
bushels in the very low year Of 1916,
and 1908 bushels in 1917.
Compared with population the yield
Of potatoes per acre declined from
1S66-1874 to 19O5-1914. The gain of
production per capita in recent years
has been more because of increased
acreage than because of increased pro-
duction per acre.

YANK ESCAPES FROM HUNS
Pittsburgh Boy Strikes Guard With
Stick and Flees to the
American Lines.

With the American Forces in
France.-Private Edward F. Baker Of
Pittsburgh, Pa, is one Of the few
Americans who claim to have been
prisoner in Germany and then escaped
back to the line of his comrades. Here
Is an outline of the story told by
Baker. Early one morning there had
been street fighting in Fismes and sew
eral Germans got the drop on Baker
end marched him back to their lines.
Before noon the Germans had Baker
working in the trenches, and they kept
him digging most of the afternoon
without suggesting that he might want
something to eat. Late in the after
noon the Americans started an at.
tack.
When the German guarding Baker
turned his head to look in the direc.
ton Of the whiz of an American shell
Baker seized a stick Of wood and
struck the guard blow on the head
end then ran into wood toward the
Americans. Several Germans fred at
him as he disappeared in the brush.
Baker reached his companions that
night just 10 hours after he had been
taken prisoner, and he had had moth.
Ing to eat all day.

INTERNED GERMANS WATCHED
Close Attention Paid to Their Con-
versation in Order to De-
tect Plots.

Camp WadswOrth, Spartanburg, S.
C.-There Is someone at all times
among the soldiers guarding German
prisoners here who can understand
German, paying strict attention to
their conversations, to detect any plots
that might be Matched to escape, and
secure other information.
But it would seem that such pre-
cautions are hardly necessary. The
prisoners have repeatedly expressed
themselves as being very we'll content
to remain here until the end of the
war. They realize that it would be
foolish for them to try to escape, as
few OF them speak English and they
could not get very far before being de-
tected. They have been heard to ex-
press the hope that they will never be
exchanged for American prisoners in
Germany.
The prisoners are willing workers,
and they do great deal of work about
camp. They are given humane treat
ment, get plenty to eat and the same
medical attention as is given to SOL
dlers, but they are not by any means
treated as guests of the nation, as has
been done at some other prison camps,
according to stories which have been
printed in the newspapers. The Ger
man prisoners here more than earn

SODA INSTEAD OF ABSINTHE
American Girl In Sky Blue Uniform
Attends to the Wants Of the
Thirsty Soldiers and Sail
BY ROY DURSTlNE.

Paris.-In the very heart Of
French port town, where traffic Is
thickest, there stood a barroom. It
was just at the point where a sailors
or soldiers thirst was greatest as he
trudged up the hill. It did a rafting
good business, such good business
that the authorities kept special eye
OIL it.
Whenever a military policeman had
nothing better to do, he would stroll
up to this bar to see how many men
were draped over it.
Accordingly, it's trade languished.
for there are more desirable things to
do than to be consistent drinker In
the most conspicuous place in town.
Before long the madame found that
her business had fallen on evil ways.
Her success had been so great that it
it had failed!
Bids for Y. M. C. A.
A public sale was announced-a sale
of all the, oh, so beautiful fixtures.
Without thought of price, everything
would go beneath the hammer Of the
auctioneer. Everyone in town knew
CT it. And when you say "everyone,"
you include Arthur S. Taylor, who
used to be newspaper man in Phila-
delphia, and who is now the head Of
the Y. M. G. A. in the district Of the
port town.
So he went to the sale. And when
the bidding fell off, and the madame
wrung her hands because the price
was so low, then up stepped Mr.. Tay-
lor, and bought all the fixtures for the
Y. NJ. G. A.
After that he dickered with the
landlord, and came to an agreement
which permitted him to leave the FIX
lures where they were, to leave the
bar where it was-but to change what
passed across the bar.
That was only a little while ago.
But today, as you mount the hill Of
the town, as you see the doors of the
Tar stretching out their invitation to
bring in your thirst and have it
Quenched, you will see a strange
thing. Over the door you will see in
large letters the words:
The Red Triangle.
Inside, behind the bar, you will see
an American girl in the sky blue uni
form Of the canteen worker. And you
will see sailors and soldiers leaning
their elbows on the shining mahogany
end hear them say things like:
"Gfve us chocolate milk-shake."
make mine pineapple"
"How's the Y. NJ. special today?'
package of cookies and two straw
berry sodas."
Think of it.! Sodas, in France! And
yet this is only one Of three places In
that one port town where the Y. NJ. O.
A has a soda fountain.
Beside the bar sits another Ameri-
can girl selling soda checks and, In
the lulls, changing the record on the
monograph. Nothing old about those
records, either. With New York just
"e few days away" the supply of
tunes is kept up to the minute.
In the back room there are small
tables and chairs. Those who prefer
TO rest as they drink may do so. And
many do.
"You see, figured it out this way"
said Mr.. Taylor,oas he looked over the
blue-and-olive-drab shoulders packed
along the bar, II figured it out that
half the attraction Of bar is the So
ciability Of drinking slowly and Cos
slping while you do it. And, you see,
it ISL!
