CHAPTER viii.
On Runner Service.

One night q man named Bartel and
were detailed for runner service and
were instructed to go to Dixmude and
deliver certain dispatches to man
whom 1 will call the burgomaster and
report to the branch staff headquar-
ters that had been secretly located in
another part Of town. We were to
travel in an automobile and keep
sharp watch as we went, for DiXmude
was being contested hotly at that time
and German patrols were in the neigh
borhoOd. No one knew exactly where
they would break out next.
So we started out from the third
line trenches, but very shortly one of
our outposts stopped us. Bartel car
ried the dispatches and drove the car
too, so 1t was up to me to explain
things to the sentries. They were
convinced after bit of arguing, Just
as we were leaving a message came
over the phone from our commander,
telling them to hold US when we came.
1t was lucky they stopped us, for 9th
erwise we would have been out of
reach by the time his message came.
The commander told me, over the tele-
phone, that If a French flag few over
the town the coast would be clear; If
Belgian, that our forces were either
in control or were about to take over
the place but that German patrols
were near. After this we started
again.
When we had passed the last post
we kept q sharp lookout for the flag
on the pole Of the old fish market, for
by this we would get our bearings
and perhaps, If 1t should be a German
flag, a timely warning. But after we
were down the road bit and had got
clear we saw Belgian flag whipping
around in a good, strong breeze. But
while that showed that our troops or
the British were about to take over
the place it also indicated that the
Germans were somewhere near by.
Which was not so cheerful.
AS we went through the suburbs
along the canal which runs on the
edge of the town we found that all
the houses were battered up. We
tried to hail several heads that stuck
themselves out of the spaces between
buildings and stuck themselves back
just as quickly, but we could not get
an answer. Finally we got hold OF
man who came out from a little
cafe.
He told us that the Germans had
J been through the town and had shot
It up considerably, killing and wound
] Ing few inhabitants, but that shortly
. afterward a small force of Belgian
= cavalry had arrived and driven the
D Boches out. The Germans were ex
D pected either to return or begin bonn
}. bardment at any moment and all th'
t inhabitants who sported cellars wer'
t hiding In them. The rest were tryinl
e to get out of town with their belong
t ings as best they could.
r On reaching our objective we mad
Z. straight for the Hotel de Vile. wher
s we were admitted and after a shor
wait taken to the burgomaster. w
d questioned him as to news, for we ha
d been instructed to pick up any infol
It nation he might have as to condition.
I, But we did not get much, for he cOul
y not get about because Of the Germans
who had made it policy to terroriz
o the people OF the town.

WAR GARDEN NECESSITY

Home gardens are being urged as one of the most i'm portant features of the Third Arkansas Profitable Farming Campaign which now is in progress. The object of this campaign is to induce the far mers to raise more food and feed stuff. This is absolutely necessary for two reasons First, the United States must export large quantities of food to her allies in Europe. Sec ond, the nations transporta- tion system is so tied up by the demands of war that if the South does not feed herself, there is danger that she will not be fed. When the railroads are needed to cmry on war ac- tivities, it is not to be expect ed that the government will al- low them to be used to trans port to the South food which she could have raised herself.
 It is not alone the farmers that are asked to raise more food. Dwellers in cities and towns are asked to have gar dens in order that they may produce a part of their own food and thus relieve the strain on the farmer on whom there rests so heavy a burden at the present time.
 At first thought, it might seem that a home garden has a very remote connection with winning the war but not when you consider the matter carful- ly. J. s. Knox, Horticulturist of the University of Arkansas College of Arkansas, says: "There is no other area on the whole farm that is so valuable as the space given to raising home vegetables for home use, and a half acre garden, wheth- CT on the farm or the city back lot if we'll planned and cared for this year will contribute at least $200.0O to the living"
