boys; or stop to make batch of
fudge for hospital ward Of boys,
we'll enough to crave it. I do not
mind your knowing that some OF it is
used in this way and 1 am sure you

or hear the shout of joy that goes
up. Many of these little extras are
made in our Y. w. c. A. hut kitchen"

STUFF HEROES ARE MADE OF
YOUNG South Dakotan Gives Up eust'
ness and Family Of Four Young
sters to Join the Army.

The Charlotte Observer is In receipt
Of a letter from a gentleman in South
Dakota, inclosing a check and asking
that the Observer be mailed to him as
long as the South Dakota troops are
at Camp Greene, as he has son in
the One Hundred and Forty-seventh
field artillery. The father wrote:
II have a son in the One Hundred
and Forty-seventh field artillery, For
ty-frst division, Camp Greene. You
will also see his name on the heading
OF this letter. I miss him very much,
as depended very much on him in
the business and expected in my de-
clining years to turn the whole busi-
ness over to him. But his country
called him. He was West Pointer,
but had resigned to help me. He has
a wife and four little ones at home.
Look him up and give him my love.
Give us all the Camp Greene news
you can Of his regiment or battery"
he has a wife and four little ones.
but his country called him and he
heard and needed. It In Of such stuff

women AS GREAT ORGANIZERS
Matrons Conduct Large National
Gatherings With Test and Order,
and Not 4 Man 10 to Be Seen.

In the last 20 or rs years parttcu-
larly the women of this country have
become past masters in developing
nationwide organizations. The groups
which they have formed sometimes
number as many as million women.
They take great delight in the perfec-
ton Of their machinery. Much of the
social awakening among women. the
desire to improve their surroundings,
comes from the stimulus and the edu-
cation they get from their organiza-
tons.
But these organizations, 1t should be
noted, are voluntary, writes Ida NJ.
Tarbell in Harper's Magazine. They
are directed to some purpose which
appeals particularly to the group.
Each stands on its own feet-that is,
they are not cooperative organiza-
tons; and again, they have nothing to
do with men. Go to one of their
national gatherings. You will see
meetings conducted with a zest, an or
der, q directness which throws in the
shade almost any mems convention I
ever saw, and not a man to be seen
anywhere.

OBITUARY..
HRDINA.

Edward John Hrdina was born near
Cresco, Iowa, Nov. 6, 1915, and after a
short illness of two days he died on Jan.
z, 1918, at the age of years months
and l day. He became suddenly i'll on
Saturday morning and was Immediately
under the doctors care. Monday morn
ing he was taken to the hospital where
an operation was performed which
proved fatal and he passed away shortly
afterwards, surrounded by his bereayed,
stricken father and mother. -

Hioh Cost Of Counting.

All the world may love lover, but
the trainers of the new war tax bill
adopted q roundabout way Of showing
their affection, asserts T. +. Logan in
Leslie's. The congressional measure
to raise additional revenue makes
a particularly affectionate assault
on the bankroll Of the young man
who wishes to demonstrate his
devotion to a maid. If the object of
the youths passion lives reasonably
near him, he may escape the new
tax on kilograms and telephone mes
sages that cost less than IS cents:
Every love letter he writes will cost
him an additional penny, however,
even If he incloses only single burn
ing poem. If trip to the theater
Is planned. committing lovers who live
more than 30 miles from the play
house must give financial assistance
to the war on the HohenzOllerns. Ac-
tual admission to the theater demands
an additional ten per cent on the cost
Of the tickets. Naturally, the dear
girl will wish to make herself par
ticularly alluring to her ardent swain.
To do so, she must pay two per cent
tax on the perfume essence, toilet wa
ter, lip rouge or face powder that to
her seems the most effective device.

: A Letter

received by Miss Hazel Eldridge. Of
Cresco, from a recruit at the Great
Lakes naval training station who
received an article of clothing recently
sent by her. with other like articles sent
through the Red Cross.
Great Lakes, ILL.,. Jan. q, 1918.
Miss Hazel Eldridge:
received the helmet you made to-
day. Many thanks for it. Idon't sup
pose you people who make them know
how much we appreciate them. About
half of the clothes we get are from the
Red Cross.
There has been so many recruits
coming in here that we only get about
half our clothes for a while. I have
been here twenty-one days. l came
here with ten other boys from around
my home but we have all been separ-
ated now excepting two. My home is
at Buffalo Lake, MIMI. about seventy
five miles west of Minneapolis. Most
of the boys here are from the South.
They sure keep US busy. Something
to do from five in the morning until late
in the evening. But it isn't bad at that.
They say here ''Start from the
bottom and work up" and I guess we
do all right.
The grub we get here is good, except
ing that they are a little too heavy on
some things such as beans.
Well I must close as the guard is
getting ready to turn the lights out and
it's almost nine o'clock. ~" q
The helmet sure will be fine when we
have to drill in the snow storms, and /
hope will soon have a chance to wear
it in France. Yours truly, w.

treat to Garage In Rear.

A certain North side man. tie In.
dianapolis News had patriotic gar
den and it was his habit to get up with
the sun, don khaki trousers, drink /;
cupful of coffee and work until his
wife called him to breakfast, about
two hours later.
He rose about five o'clock one morn
ing and dressed completely-all but
the khaki trousers, which he kept in
the basement. He descended the stairs
and was on the way to the basement,
when he saw outside bottle of cream
left by the milkman. Thinking of the
effect of sunlight on cream and of his
cupful Of coffee, he peered up and
down the street, opened the door,
stepped out grabbed the bottle hurried
ly. Just as he turned to go in he heard
a slam-the wind had blown the door
shut. He found himself out on the
front porch, fully dressed, with the ex-
ception of q pair of trousers. The door
was locked. He looked wildly up and
down the street, vaulted the low &C.
ment railing and made Decline for
the garage, the only available place of
refuge and seclusion. He remained in
the garage until his wife learned of
his predicament, about two hours Ia
ter, and came to his rescue.
The story would have remained a
dark secret had not a neighbor-a
woman, loosen the whole affair and
witnessed, the mad scramble for the
garage.

How a Woman Got a Pumpkin.

She is dainty little madam, relates
the Indianapolis News, and does not
look as If she could lift more than
ten or fifteen pounds. When she &C.
aompanied her husband to the country
recently and saw a field dotted with
pumpkins she said:
Lets stop here and buy pumpkin
for pies"
Pumpkins seemed to be drug with
the farmer, and he told the little
madam:
eff you climb that fence" pointing
to the field, you can have the biggest
pumpkin you can carry"
"I'll accept that offer,'' she replied
with alacrity, with visions CT Thanks
giving pies galore.
Ten minutes later she returned with
a pumpkin that weighed 50 I"unds and
put it down triumphantiy in front OF
the farmer.
