That splendid fellow, Barton Imam
down toward Mexico from Centralia,
called on the Message Saturday. Says
he has a discouraging time picking
seed corn. Well, Brother, here's
the game-Noble Barnes can tell you
how to pick it, but he can't tell you
how to find much that will grow.
Barnes says, "Eexamine your corn,
don't be deceived by the outside
appearances. You can ten the grow
ing ears. a far, far better thing to
depend on than many of the so-called
tests" that are being made this
spring. The tests are always made
under the most favorable circum-
stances; warm soil, warm air. The
grain won't come when put out in
the chilly ground in the field, may
be afterwards to endure a cold rain
and lack of sunshine" That to The
Message sounds like about the right
way to put it.

Shooting a German bomb planes
while they are making their raids
behind the American lines in France
is great sport in the estimation of
Private, Charles d. Bates, serving
with the seth Engineers Search
light Division abroad, but he would
much rather be nearer the front line
trenches where he can see actual
lighting according TO a letter re-
ceived from him by his mother, Mrs.
Susan Bates of New Cumberland
After telling his mother that his
outfit had been moved again, and
were in a large railroad center which
the Germans were trying to raid
by air, Private Bates says in his
letter, which is dated September /:
I'VE are protecting this place with
search lights from the Huns who
are continually trying to bomb it
from the air. We are on duty all
day and sometimes all night. We
had several air raids this week and
/ think it is great sport to be out
there at night with the Jerry ma
chine flying over your head. When
they're above us we get them in
the arc from the search-light so
the anti-aircraft guns can shoot at
them Sometimes they come down
the beam and open up their machine
guns on you. II is nice to hear
those bullets whistle around you
only l wish that we were nearer
the front lines than we are. We
used to he twenty miles from the
front lines but since we have made
our big advances we are about
forty miles"
Private Bates expresses his thanks
that he is able bodied enough to
do my bit for Old Glory" and thinks
that a flag that is good enough to
live for is good enough to fight for
and. If needs be, to die for" Mean
while the young soldier is trusting
in the Lord" to bring him safe
home again.
Private Bates has a brother. Ser
geant George S. Bates, who is at
tached to the Quartermaster Corps
in France.

Paris. oct. 23.-Airplanes and tank !

soldiers over here.
Two chaplains. the Rev. John Nor
an. Of Eugene, ore, and the Rev.
John sullivan, of Tuckahoe. y. V,
We're the first priests TO make their
rounds by the air route. The Rev.
Mr.. Sullivan uses airplanes several
times a week and thus is able to visit
field hospitals within a radius of
200 miles of his camp.
Airplane transportation was used
by the Rev. Mr.. Moran for the first
time when he received two calls to
say field masses one Sunday morning.
The call came from villages nifty
miles apart where troops were bill
leted. An aviation pilot solved the
problem for Chaplain Moran by Of
fering to take him to both places
and he went. The result was a field
mass at one village at o'clock in the
morning and at another mass in the
village fifty miles further on at 80
a. m.
The Rev. Edwin OHara, rector of
the cathedral at Portland. volunteer
chaplain for the knights of Columbus.

to say mass to distant troops and a
secretary went with him to supply
the soldiers with boxing gloves and
