BREAD AND BEAUTY

Arrived in Paris late Sunday night after
a very safe and comfortable journey.
The weather was fine in London, but
cold Coal is scarce and high. Sugar
is served in individual dishes there, about
teaspoonful for breakfast, one helping
of meat and two ounces of bread.
Have been in Paris just week tonight,
having arrived safely and comfortably.
OF course it is quite different from the
way l saw it in 1910. Many men one
meets on the street are in French, Eng
fish or United States uniforms. There are
not so many in mourning as expected to
see and the people seem quite cheerful
and happy. There seems to be more to
eat here than there is in England One
has all the butter and all the war bread
he wants.
For two days three of us had nothing to
do but go about, so we went one day out
to Versailles. The palace is closed but
we went through the beautiful grounds
and gardens and took lunch at a cross
roads near the Trianon. Wish you could
have seen the trees, such beautiful color,
sun was shining and instead of birds in
the air We saw air craft and heard the
hum of their motors.

SAND SHOTS FROM
The 18th REGIMENT

While it is estimated that nearly 500
tents were IeveIed throughout the division
by the severe wind and sand storm OF
late Friday night, not more than thirty
squad tents and only three or four Off
GERS dwellings were blown down. It
didn't take Lieutenant McLouth and his
men long the next morning to see that all
torn canvas was repaired and the men
made comfortable as soon as possible.
One pleasant feature of the storm was
the hospitality of the Y. W. G. A. the
men at 76 threw the building open to all
the soldiers who were rendered tempo
rarily homeless by the sand storm, and
a good many spent the night there.
The first fire in the regiment in a long
time destroyed one of the tents in Com
pany D street Sunday afternoon.
The 18th Regiment Band achieved
new honors last Sunday when they gave
another of their enjoyable concerts, this
time at the Grand theatre in Augusta.
The program was up to the h1gh stand
ard that Band Master Roy Miller mas
established and the musicians OF ms Or
ganization easily won new laureis with
the old favorites.

THE RED CROSS GORDON.

An American Red Cross worker who was among those volunteering to help in the hospitals and at the station where the hospital trains arrived, ov heard some of tine wounded talk about the American Red Cross.
 Gee! We'd a starved if it had been for the Red Cross !" said one and then, laughing at his own exagg ation, he went on to explain the cumstances under which the Red c representative with his division done some timely service.

 The evergreen girl had been sur prised and a little bit hurt because Dane had not even called. She had thought 1t strange, too, at first, that she did not receive an invitation to the party, for she knew nearly every one in Brierly was going.
 But when Ruth was told the party was to be given in honor of Stanwood's fiancee, she understood why she had not been invited.
 'That is why Helen Stanwood didn't mention the party when she ordered these wreaths," Ruth thought, as she began tying them together. "Of course, I would not go anyway now. My, but they will have to hurry if they hang all these Wreaths before eight o'clock"
 The evergreen girl was so busy get ting the Stanwood order ready that she did not notice that the blue roadster had returned and stopped by the gate. Neither did she observe the broad shouldered young man who was striding up the path. The bell jingled merrlly.
 There's Helen now, after the wreaths," Ruth thought, and she ran to the door. Dane was standing in the porch.
 "Why, Daner' she exclaimed, draw ing back in confusion. ''How you startled me I thought it was your sister, and"
 Helen has gone to Balford to meet a friend who is to spend the holidays with us," said the young man, "so she sent me after the wreaths." He smiled down at the girl. "This is the ever green shop, isn't it?"
 "Yes," said Ruth, forcing smile in return.
 And you are the evergreen girl?"
 'T believe they call me that" she answered.
 "Well," said Stanwood, Isis told me to be sure and fetch you back with me when I returned"

legend, ''Fhe Evergreen Shop"
 Bvery year during the Christmas season Ruth Thomas made hundreds of evergreen wreaths, which sEe sold for Christmas decorations.
 This was why the people of Brierly called her the evergreen girl.
 The day before Christmas Ruth sat in her little shop finishing the last wreath she would make that season.
 "fhere r she said. deftly twisting sPrig 0f bright red berries among the evergreen stems, "that finishes Helen Stanwood's order, and thank goodness it's done in time. Oh. deari" she sighed, laying the wreath aside, "I do wish I could spend one Christmas time en- toying myself as others do. Why, there has not been anyone here over the hoi- days since can remember. and have not been so Christmas party in years not since the time I went over to Dolly Blair's with Dane."
 A warm eo2or suddenly gloWed in the girls cheeks and there was a soft light in Der brown eyes as she thought of that memorable night.
 Dane Stanwood had taken her to that party. Once during the evening Ae caught her as she was standing under the mistletoe bough, and The sudden roar of a high-power auto mobile broke in upon Ruth's musings, and She looked out in time to see a long blue roadster flash past the gate.
 The car belonged to Dane Stanwood.
 Shortly after the Christmas party at Dolly Bkafr's Dane had gone West 10 becone q Mining engineer. He had written a few times to Ruth and then the letters had stopped coming and she ba,f Hot heard from him for nearly four years. Then, just a month age,

The Greatest Quality.

The Christmas message tells us of Gods fatherhOod. It is no cold heart that waits us when we turn to grati- tude and prayer. God has always loved us; he loves us still. Every true Christmas thought and gift is an ex- pression of that divine love which has made our own love possible. Every claim upon our mercy and our gener- osity is a call to become like Christ. All the enduring qualities of the hu- man spirit were present at the man, ger: "But the greatest of these is love-"

Jackson County Goes Over
Its Quota In United War
Work Campaign.
First County In The State To
Subscribe Quota Wins
Beautiful Flag.

The whirlwind campaign for
sunds for the United War Work
Organizations in Jackson Coun-
ty, resulted in the county being
awarded a flag, for being the
the first county in the state to
40 "over the top on the original
quota. 1t is a beautiful flag Of
standard army bunting, IL l8
feet, and is something the coun-
ty has Alright to be proud of.
The success Of this campaign
was greatly due to united efforts
of the Rev. j. ID. Gum, jeff
Wall and wife and Tom Presley,
who rendered invaluable assist
ance. The Rev. Gun is a prea-
cher of powerful force. who pre-
sented the needs of the organi-
cations so logically. that it was
impossible to refuse to help. and
Mr.. Wall simply sang money out
of the peoples pockets, and MIR.
Presley, Familiarity called Tom
is one OF the very best mixers
ever. He had been engaged in
Y. M. C. A work at camp Jack
son. and knew every thing about
the work and what it is doing
for our boys. His stay of sever.
al days in the county was an
inspiration to the various dis
trict war workers. We hope to
have all of these people with us
again.
The county's quota was $5, 500
and 81, $780, 90 was subscribed.
The amounts subscribed by dis
tricts will be published later.
