LIGHT FARMING CURES
SHELL SHOCK VICTIMS
ConvaIescents Gain Health and
Strength by Filling the Soil
in Hospital Grounds.

The Base Hospitals Of Europe,
where American boys as well as the
boys of our allies are rPcuperatins,
have decided that the men who arc
yet unable to fight, or to 80 back to
their places in the ranks, may gain
health and strength while filling the
soil. and incidentally may add many
tons Of vegetables to the necessary
food supplies.
Ten expert market gardeners from
this country havH been sent TO France
10 direct the work. as it has been found
that this farm labor is one of the best
reStoratives of health. and also that.
there is no better work for those sui
fering from shell shock than this out
of-duors activity. Many soldiers who
have worked AT the farms announce
that they intend to buy farms and con
tinue OF their return from France.
In addition to the helpful exercise
the tables are helped. and in one hos
pital there has been green corn on the
cob served rs n result of the soldier

IN France, but It certainly pleased the
men who were fortunate enough 10 get

green corn on the cob when he didn't
expect there was Such 4 dcicacy near

HOME SERVICE IN EVERY
NOOK AND CORNER

The work of the Home Service
reaches into every nook and corner
of the country, and although money
is certainly the least valuable contri-
button Of Home Service Is the welfare
of communities. by January /. 1919
the Red Cross will have spent through
1t q total of SIX million dollars and
will then be carrying burden Of one
milliou dollars month.
But Home Service gives more far
reaching and subtle things than ear

is binding the nation together into

But with the coming of warm

THE RED CROSS COMES
BY JEANNE JUDSON.

Lest we forget the simple joys,
The kindly thoughts, the human tears,
The harmless laughter and the song
We knew in other happier years,
Lest we grow hard, and cruel and cold,
And being young, our hearts are old,
Held in the grasp Of death undied,
The Red Gross comes to fill again,
The cup of mercy long since spilled;
Bid in our hearts the birds to sing,
Reviving joy that anger killed

they know that their loved ones are
being cared for by the Crossa Rosa. !.

On September l, 1866, he opened a
store in one-story frame building,
1Sx65 feet. which occupied the site
to the right of the main entrance Of
the present building of the George II.
knollenberg company. He opened the
store with one lady clerk. In the
spring of 1877, eleven years later, he
purchased the site and by December
Of the same year new three-story
stone front building was completed
and occupied. The first bill of goods
for the original store was purchased
from the Spencer-Crocker company.
He had obtained a line of credit so
that he opened the original store with
stock of $4,000, paying $500 cash.
Judged by prices of 1914, the stock
was worth about $500, as muslin was
selling at 80 cents yard and prints
for 10 cents in 1866. Within five years
he doubled the capacity of his store,
by renting the room adjoining, one
story building. With increased facili-
ties he enlarged his stock. and with
additional clerks. including his broth
ers and sisters, and by the closest ap-
plication, continued to expand his bus
mess.
Erects New Building.
In 1877 he bought the site his store
occupied for $4,000 and spent $4,000
in constructing the most pretentious
retail store in the city-three stories
and basement, stone and iron front.
1t was regarded as big undertaking
for man not yet thirty.
He doubled his business in three
years. He believed in advertising,
spending $4,000 a year in those early
days for paid publicity about his store
and wares. He believed in conveying
an honest description of his goods to
the readers and of meriting the con-
fdence of the trade.
Trains assistants.
From the outset he believed in
training his clerks in business meth
DDS, acquainting them with costs, and
the details of business. 1t is regarded
remarkable that he anticipated years
ago the training courses which mod
ern mercantile leaders believe essen
tial in the development of their sales
forces.
The result Of this was manifest in
the hundreds of persons who gradual
ed from his store into businesses of
their own.
Among the men, prominently known
here who received their early training
in the Knollenberg store are:
Adam H. Bartel, Chris F. Schaefer,
