from being crippled for life. More
than one man will go through life with

The spirit of sacrifice is wonderful.
For all the suffering caused this war

new men of her sons; has welded all
classes into one glorious whole.
And / can't help saying that the doc

hospitals, are angels on earth. l love
them all and can never repay the care
and kindness shown to me. For the
rest of my life the Red Cross will be

War Is not a pink tea. but in worth

far outweighed by the deep sense Of
satisfaction felt by the man who does

much more easily than he anticipated
he fills his responsibilities. 1t is reallt

He has nerve for the hardships; tho

When Horses Get "Pipped."

When an army horse is wounded
about the face or jaw 1t is not sent
down to the veterinary lines, but is
kept to be tended by its driver.
Then 1t is that good drivers care
comes in. for the men tend them most
carefully. feeding them by hand. boil
ling their oats, making them mashes.
and spending most of the day with
their charges until they can feed in
comfort again. 1t is this personal
care OF the man for his horse that has
been the cause Of the new order that
all horses have to be returned from
hospital to their own pnitsJagain; for a
mans care is by no means transferred
TO the same extent to a new team of
horses.

Making Their Own Sugar.

Women In Utah are going to make
sugar at home. The great interest TAX
en- in sugar-beet production for sirups
by the women of one county has led to
the planting of from 75 to 100 pounds
OF sugar-beet seed. This Is the d.
rect result of the work of the county
home demonstration agent. who has
demonstrated the use and making OF
the strip to each OF the Is organiza-
tons in the county with whom she
works. The women have also made
between 1000 and $500 pounds of POI
tato starch. averaging - pounds to 4
bushels Of potatoes. This means the
saving of 800 bushels of potatoes that
otherwise would have been wasted.
