SPEAK TO HIS MOTHER

DO you know a lonely mother whose boy has
gone away to fight for her and you? -, 49,.
One Of those patient faced, silent heroines,
proud to be able to suffer that the world may be
made better with the help OF her stalwart sons
stron gright arm? There are many Of them here
and on farms Of the northwest, living for that
happy day when HE shall return, with all the
world his debtor.
DO you want to help?
Go to her, visit with her, and ask about her
boy. She is dying to tell someone about him, about
the letters he writes, and about what fine baby
he was. You cannot make her happier than by
telling her how you appreciate the sacrifice she is
making for our common cause. You do appreciate
it. Tell her 50. Maybe she will cry, and maybe
she will smile. but she will treasure your words,
and her venerable head will rest more easily to-
night.~-Dcvils Lake World

Thoughts on True Happiness
Written for THE EVENING JOURNAL
By JAMES 7. CRozIER

The happiest woman or man today,
Are those who are living right;
Who know they are surely on the way.
That leads where never comes night.
That Jesus is with them along the road,
They are holding to His dear hand;
II trials are many lie win help with
the load,
And bring them to Sweet Bueiah Land.
Words OF mine can't express the Joy
that comes in
To the heart OF all on the way.
To feel that they have been cleansed
from sin.
II gets sweeter to them every day.
The day is coming when journey is
done,
And they know wen where they win
go;
They'll be safe at home with Gods
Dear Son,
What a precious thing that Is TO know
Let me ask can you md any Joy down
here.
II faithful its with you each day,
So long as you're holding 70 His Dear
Hand,
It cannot be taken away.
How is Il my sister, or brother WIN
you,
As the days are fast going bys
You know what I'm writing Is surely
true,
VIII be so when you have TO die.
That life Is the sweetest 20 young Of
old,
You could not more happy be,
To know you VIII be where the streets
are gold,
And with Christ spend eternity.
Reader, II you have not got Il today,
Get it soon for the days quickly
80 by;
And yon know not how soon you vii
pass away,
Prepare then, before you die.

HOW POTATO SPRAYING PAM.

Some potato growers, according 60
a recent statement from the Department
Of Agriculture, have expressed the opin-
ION that It does not pay 70 spray pota-
toes for late blight. That thorough
spraying will control the blight In sea-
sons Of bad infection has been proved
many times In the past, says the
statement and most recently In Aroos-
took county, Maine. In 1917. Among
other places In the county this was
shown oonolusively at Aroostook
Farm, where expensive experiments
were conducted by the United States
Department OF Agriculture In cooper
alton with the Maine Agricultural Ex-
perimental Station. In one block where
small test plots sprayed with standard
Bordeaux m Xture were interspersed
with untreated plots, tho average yield
on eleven Of the former was at the
rate Of 1912 bushels per acre. while
that on an equal number Of untreated
plots was at the rate Of i43.5 bushels
per acre, an increase OF ST bushels per
acre, or more than 90 per cent. In favor
Of the Bordeaux mixture.

Transportation Of Soldiers
TO France Proceeds at
Accelerated Rate
OFF TO FRONT
AFTER 80 DAYS

WASHINGTON, April i0.-Moving Of
American troops to France already is
proceeding at the accelerated rate con-
templated by the speeding up meas
tires taken after the battle Of Picardy
begun. Actinng Secretary Crowell made
this statement, but would give no de-
tails.
For military reasons the extent Of tho
Increased troop movement has not been
made public
Following the conferences between
Secretary Baker and Allied oflcials, or
ders were given under which a British
Official statement was Issued saying
that American forces were 30 be bri-
gaded with British troops in order to
hasten American participation in the
war.
Omcials here explained that the pro-
cess to be followed was similar to that
adopted In placing American troops In
The front lines with the French for
training.
II has been estimated tina. thirty days
train ng OF this character, with Ameri-
can battalion units assigned with the
British organizations, will ut the new
comers for active duty at the front. All
divisions now moved from this de are
composed Of men who have had sew
eral months Of preliminary training and
who need only final instruction to take
their full share In the lighting.
The training process VII be quicker
with the British than with the French
it is believed, because the language diff
fculty does not exist American units
will find every Brit sh veteran an in
structor and there will be no need for
interpreters.
Il was indicated that the new plans
cali for a more extensive training
scheme with the British army than has
been the case with General Pershing
original force There probably will be
90 attempt 20 set up a purely American
force within the British ranks, as has
been done with the French.
The Americans are to be Withdrawn
when trained and turned over to Gen
eral Pershing as a part Of his army
They viii share fully with their British
comrades the battles on their front and
the belief here Is that they will not be
withdrawn as Ions as there Is press
ing need for their service with the Brit
lsh lines.

POTATOES SAVE
WHEAT L0AVES
BY BIDDY BYE

When wheat bread Is dropped from
the diet an equal amount Of starch In
some other food form must take Its
place.
The best starch substitute Tor bread
is found In potatoes.
Two slices Of wheat bread contains
81 food calomes.
One medium sized potatoes contains
So food calories.
The logical procedure Is TO double
the serving OF potatoes In meals with
out bread. Potatoes are, Of course, not
the only starchy foods TO compete with
wheat 10 value. Rice, oatmeal, corn
meal, peas and beans, arc IN the same
class, but potatoes, because Of their
abundance, cheapness and easy combi-
nation with other foods are first choice
with the wise cook.
