During his travels he has recruited 1S4 men for Uncle Sam's army and navy and has sold $10O,OO0 of Liberty Bonds through his patriotio speeches.
 At every performance he gives four. minute talk on patriotism and he always puts it over with a punch With his scenery he always carried service flag bearing six stars, two O. u. 4 representing sons in the United States navy. and four of them brothers fight ing for Great Britain. He never forgets the .boys over there'' and has raised $2o00 for tobacco for them.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. August 5.-(Special.) )--An- other very sharp advance occurred in the market at the opening this morn ing, as the result of continued favora- ble war news and high temperatures with no rain over Sunday in the south west
 Liverpool was a good buyer at the opening. and there is some increase in the demand from domestic spinners although not in the volume which might be expected with such a change in the tenor of the crop advices as indicated by the last government re- port The situation continued to hinge very largely upon the relief of the drouht in the southwest. In this con nection a hurricane is reported in the Gulf of Mexico, with the weather bu- reau unable as yet to give indication of its probable course. It is very early for such a storm to turn into the Texas coast but there is d bare possibility that it will do so. This would of course entirely change the crop outlook, and the situation in respect to this storm should, therefore. be most closely watched Advices from the Atlantic states continue very favorably and the dry weather which has appeared there will be most beneficial.

"MAMMYo IS HELPED

This story is one of the many home service cases of live, human interest hidden away in the manila bound covers of home service file. It is story of Montgomery and was published in one of the Montgomery papers sometime ago.
 An old negro woman came to the rooms of the home service Red Cross and made a sure enough oid-time courtesy. She was dressed in an odd print dress and wearing bright colored turban.
 'Taint much honey' she said to Miss Olive Chunn, secretary of the home serv- ice section of the Red Cross, but I want you to know how much I thank you"
 She set on the table a basket of ripe plums, and untying a knot from her handkerchief, laid beside it a 50-cent piece.
 Harriet Harrison was the old negress' name, and she had just received through the kindness of interested workers the government allotment from her son who is fighting in France.
 Aunt Harriet hung little service flag outside her home last fall when her son volunteered to go to France. Her home is on a plantation near Montgom- cry, where she works in the field.
 Since her son went to France she had no allotment. The Red Cross home serv- ice took up the case and found there had been a hitch somewhere in Wash ington and managed to get the lump sum of almost s1oo to go to the boy 5 "mammy''
 The white folks had been kind to the old woman, and immediately took care of the money for her, depositing it for her and keeping the slip. Aunt Ifarriett was proud of her boy S lighting in France. Probably she has been a slave long ago for Ole Marse who fought in the Civil war She had the

 HOSPITAL FROM HATFIELD
 To transform a hayfeld somewhere in France" into a 600-bed hospital for slightly wounded or gassed American soldiers took the American Red Cross and enlisted men of the army medical corps just 25 days from the moment the site-a deserted race track-was selected by the army medical men. On the twen- ty-fifth day the completed plant was turned over to the army medical corps; medical officers and army nurses moved in and before night 160 slightly wounded and gassed men were safe in bed in the spotless wards. The new plant, thereafter, became a halfway station for the less seriously injured and thus left the beds in other hospitals free for the badly wounded
 The 6eu cross rclrcuS crew, so Calleu because it transforms vacant fields into hospitals about as quickly as a circus gang gets the "big top up on a city block, are picked men trained for tho special job of putting up hospitals, talk ing them down and moving them to new positions. Each man is drilled for special job. As soon as the pole men get their skeleton shacks bolted, can vas men put over the double tentins. floor men lay the sectional floors aud window men put in the sashes Others string the electric light wiring and hang the drop lights and special group far nishes experts on equipping the kitchens, building the operating rooms, installing fumigasing apparatus, and setting up heating stoves in the wards. Still others look aftec the water supply and sanitary equipment, shower baths and tubs. In few days after the truck train starts from the warehouse, the American Red Cross is able to turn the finished plant over to the army medical corps.
 The French officers who have visited this hospital. which grew like magic. comment often on the great change in the use of this field. The old betting booths are filled with bales of hospital supplies. The little matched roof shel- ter where betters met have been trans formed into a smoking pavilion. The names of the horses are washed off the betting board, but, as the courteous wis itors punningly point out the course never hac on it more real thorough breds' than it has today.
