 battery areas, tried their skill at polic- ing a cotton field along the Jackson vile road Thursday morning" writes Chaplain Carl l.. Gallman. "rhe regi-

 running ahead of it's schedule, when coming to a cotton field, the big hearted colonel saw an opportunity to give his men some diversion and at with joy and give thel co1ored popula- tion of the county a topic of conversa- tion that will be handed down from father to son in the coming genera tions.
 The regiment was marched to the

 command. Place hat on left arm, hang ing by chfnstrap. Hold stalk with

 would have made movie man for
 tune. It took just nine minutes to strip the three7acre patch as clean as raf bit-hounds eye-tooth and pile the hats full of cotton on the end of the field. By the time the last battery had passed through. the beginning of the column had resumed it's hike and was well on it's way to Jacksonville, where the regiment made it's noon rest"

 The crowd had lot of fun over hav-
 ing their pictures taken. Knox had his revolving camera while two other pho tographers were on hand with their sta- tionary ones. It is no easy job to get a bunch of preachers to keep still long enough to be properly taken. They are as fidgety as a gang of children. A bob- tailed dog, a mascot of the regiment. got 1t into his dog brain, that he was a part of the show and got the cord stretched by the cameramen all bailed up. Finally one of the soldier boys got him and made him sit for his picture. I am confident that the trip was a success in every way, I know one thing, and that is that President Daniel is a hand shaker from away back. am will ing to wager that even Biltl Brandon, who was present. marvelled at the way
 he shook hands with every man, woman and child present. I am glad that he is a good mixer. That is what is needed

PROFIT ~ ExPE1IENCE

In his latest weekly revisw Of mill
tary operations, the Secretary Of War
says: "The magnitude Of The task
before us can Be more fully realised
when measured by the success whjeh
the enemy is still able to gain. IL
means that We must speed up our mil
itary effort"
That was q true statement, and it
was issued December 10. 1917. But
what fine thing it would have besn
to have read such 4 statement from
some one in authority in 1914, instead
of the declaration made by President
Wilson on December Sth of that year.
when he denounced advocates of pre-
paredness as nervous and excited"
and declared that we had not neglect
ed preparedness.
Democrats tell US there il mo use
crying over split milk" That is al
true, but we can be guided somewhat
by experience in choosing people to
carry the pals in the future.

SCORE ONE FOR WISCONSIN

Away up in the northern part Of
Wisconsin, in the midst of the German
settlements of that state, there's .
little town called Neillsville. 1t has
not large population, maybe . cou-
pie Of thousand. But in that little
town is q poor woman-a woman WIZ
has been forced to manual labor as q
means of livelihood was born in
Germany and whose sentiments would
strike shame into the heart of that
senator from her state whose pacifist
leanings have been so pronounced.
Here is what she says:
"If the Germans here don't like
America let them 60 back to Germany,
where the poor people live like swine.
It took me three years to save enough
money to get to this country and I had
to borrow a little then to get . tick
ct for the trip. The people there
wear wooden shoes, held on by .
strap across the top, and l wore .
pair when l came here; but l saved
enough out of my first weeks wages
to buy pair of leather ones. That
was more than could save in month
in Germany. They live like hogs ov-
er there, whole families in two small
rooms, where they dress and undress
before each other. 1t seemed like
heaven when l got to America and
had a room all to myself.
"The American people have treated
me fine and never once made me feel
like lickspittle, as the rich people
do in Germany. The German people
here must not take the American
courtesy and forbearance for fear and
cowardice-no, sir, or they will get
an awful bump soon. know the
American reserve and strength bet
ter than most people of my nationali-
ty. think they have given US every
chance in the world to get along and
prosper, and it's a mean and dirty
thing now to go Dragging and encour-
aging our country's enemy, Germany,
a country that is so conceited that it
thinks it can run the world. Germany
is the worst place in the world for a
person to live, and l would as soon be
in hades this minute as to 60 back
where I came from in Germany"
Score one for Wisconsin.

USE WARM WATER IN RADIATOR

Great care should be exercised in
not using too hot water in the auto
mobile radiator when filling it after
it has become cold. During the very
cold weather especially, if too hot wa
ter is put into the radiator the rapid
expansion of the metal is liable to
cause the joints to separate, thus CIV
ing much trouble with leaking. Use
warm water in which the hand may be
comfortably held.-Fred G. Person,
Colorado Agricultural College, Fort
Collins, Colorado.

"War Savings Stamps mark an
epoch in our national life Secretary
of the Treasury MeAdoo.
Many a successful business man has
said that the saving of his first dol
lar was the most important single
act of his life: that it marked the be-
ginning of . habit and . course Of
conduct to which he attributed his
success.
Something very analogous to this, it
is believed, is going to be the effect
on the American Nation of the War
Savings campaign. Not only are mil
lions of individual citizens going to be-
gin to save but this habit of econ
omy and saving is going to be col
lective movement, movement not of
individuals alone but Of the Nation.
The habit of saving formed now has
q deeper incentive than ordinary. We
are saving now not alone for selfish
reasons, we are saving now for patrio-
tism, saving not alone for ourselves
but for our country. The combination
of patriotism and thrift is, indeed, 60
ing to make the War Savings cam
paign an epoch in our national life.
1t is not only going to be thing of
tremendous benefit to millions of citi-
zens, it is going to be q thing of tre-
mendous advantage to the Nation as a
whole, and affect our whole national
life. 1t marks the beginning of new
era in American life, an era Of econ
omy, good sense, and patriotism.

THE RED TRIANGLE

The National War Work council Of
the Y. M. C. A. was so impressed with
the $3.50 prize poem by Daniel M
Henderson of South Orange, N. j.,
that an appeal was made to the Ma.
tional Arts club to supply posters
containing the poem, to be placed in
every building of the Y. M. c. A. in
this country and in the war zones
"The Red Triangle" was written by
Mr.. Henderson to further the present
Y. M. c. A. campaign and is as fol-
lows:
Lift up the Red Triangle
Beside the laundering guns
A friend, shield, a solace
To our ten million sons!
Go build hut or dugout
By billet or by trench
A shelter from the horror
The cold, the fifty, the stencht
Where boys we love, returning
From out the CORY loan.
Can sight the Red Triangle
And find a bit of home.
Lift up the Red Triangle
'Gainst things that man and main
1t conquers Booze, the wrecker!
1t kills the house Of shame!
Go make friendly corner,
So lads can take the pen
And get in touch with mother
And Gods clean things again!
Where hell's destroying forces
Are leagued with Potsdam's crew,
Lift up the Red Triangle
And help our boys "come thru!"
