BOY is HURT.

While feeding the horses Monday
noon of last week, Raymond Chris
topherson was badly hurt by a kick
from a horse they have had for the
past "a years and never known to
kick. Raymond had just given him
his feed and while passing out be-
side him between the horse and wall
was kicked on the side of his head
and fell unconscious and remained
unconscious for four hours. The horse
must have gotten scared of something
as Raymond was beside the horse
when kicked and was found in a sort
of sitting position against the barn,
by his brother Mark. Both Mark and
his father were working about the
barn at the time and heard the kick,
one foot striking the barn, breaking
the siding. Raymond was kicked in
very dangerous place and for some
time the outcome was unknown. His
ear was badly cut and the scalp cut
open but no apparent fracture. 1t
was fortunate the horse was not shod.
After taking him to the house they
Immediately decided on taking him
to the Marshall Hospital where he
has received treatment. We are
pleased to learn he is doing nicely
and will suffer no serious effects
from his injuries Milroy Echo.

Scientists Make
Fighters Happy
FORWARD 29,5OO ARTICLES TO
SOLDIERS, SAILORS AND WAR
REFUGEES IN EUROPE.

About 29,5OO articles were pre-
pared and sent to enlisted men and
war refugees by the Comforts For
warding committee, conducted by the
Christian Scientists of the Boston
district and located at 328 Boylston
street, Boston, during the first three
months of the committees work.
Among he goods forwarded were 49,
coo knitted articles and comfort kits,
$500 articles of new clothing for
French, Italian, Belgian and Serbian
refugee children, and about 5000 Sc
lected secondhand or re-made arti-
cles of clothing.
One American ship has been sup
piled with enough knitted goods, to-
sailors on board. A large number of
the knitted garments and other COM
forts have been turned over to the
different war relief associations in
Boston, which are in direct commu-
nication with the people of their re-
spective countries, notably the Brit
ish, French, Italian and Belgian as
sociations. Some of the recruits from
Boston for the British and Canadian
forces were supplied with knitted ar
ticles before they left home.
A feature of the comforts For
warding committees work which has
brought splendid results is the "unit
system" of preparing new garments
for refugee children. Ten of the COM
mittee were first instructed in the
making of a model garment, each of
the 10 instructed 10 others and the
latter became captains of teams of
10 others whom they in turn in
structed. Two groups of team cap
tains meet at the committees rooms
every day to receive instructions and
material for use by themselves and
the members of their respective
teams, who work at leisure moments
at home. Thus, lilo sewers are
banded together for this particular
part of the committees program and
they are turning out an average of
over 1000 garments week. In this
work, they have been greatly assist
ed by one Of the patriotic manufac-
turing companies of Boston, which
offered and has undertaken to do all
the cutting required for these gar
mentS.
Before beginning to sew for the
refugees of any country, the commit
tee ascertained not only what arti-
cles were needed but also the form
and material desired, so far as was
possible. 1t was learned, for in
stance, that so common an article Of
general use as pillow-case was, in
one country for which the teams
were sewing, very unlike the pillow
case of the American home. For knit
ters, wool is sold over the counter,
instructions are given, and the fin
ished garment is returned to the
committees headquarters when ready.
| In addition, there are four knitting
machines in operation, on each Of
which it is possible to knit a pair of
socks in 20 minutes.
Much praise has been given to the
Comforts Forwarding committee of
the Christian Scientists by persons
associated with other war relief or
ganizations, for the high quality of
the articles produced and the sys-
tematic manner of their productions.
Nearly 500 such committees are con-

Little Willie Ducked.

Speaking at a dinner, Representative Nicholas
some people have in getting around difficult places
in orthography and told Of little incident along
that line.
On his return from school recently little Willie
was taken on his fathers lap and questioned to
the events of the day.
81 suppose you had nice day at school, Willie"
about?"
"Possums," answered Willie. "The teacher told
chased up and down trees and a whole lot Of
things"
"That was fine" commented the parent. "Now
then suppose you tell me how to spell 'opossum."
1t was then that Willie became exceedingly
thoughtful, but only for second or so.

THEY'RE AN Risht.

Some of US are much concerned about the "mor-
ale' of the boys who are going to the front, and
those who already there.
+ We are afraid they'll 60 to the devil because
they are being furnished with cigarettes, and
because they sometimes play baseball on Sunday.
But the fact is there is less venereal disease
among the boys in France than there is among the
boys at home.
They are far more interested in genuine religion
than they ever were in their native towns.
The job they're doing is burning out of their
lives the dross and the dirt that formerly elogged
their brains and their hearts,
They are giving themselves to \ task which
arouses the deepest, truest passion and patriotism
We need to be far more concerned about the
boys who remain at home than about the boys
who have given up everything to fight for demoe-
racy and freedom.
They have their own peculiar temptations, but,
other things being equal, they've got better
chance to come back whole-hearted and true than
the chap who remains at home for almost any
reason that sounds like = good excuse.
When the war is over, the sadest object in
the world will be the man who not only pitied
himself and allowed somebody else to do the fight
ing, but who assumed pietistie attitude toward
the soldier who passed through hell at the front
so that the Stacker might have comfortable time
at home.

traitorous act merits Why, the Hunnish Kaiser
Of Gustaf Hahn would shoot on the spot any per-
son in Germany who said the same thing about
the German flag!
Four months in jail is not enough for this Hun
nor for any other Hun within our gates who by
word or deed does aught to aid the Kaiser in his
damnable war upon the worlds liberty.
There is, however, another and brighter angle
from which to view this and similar cases of Hun
treachery over here. The judge who sentenced this
Hahn put it in this fashion:
- "The only effect of such remarks as you are
accused of having made is to make real Americans
work harder to win this war;" -..: --r

The Hun Over Here.

Custaf Hahn, Chicago baker, was convicted OF
hanging dirty rag, one he had used in wiping his
ovens, outside his bakeshop and calling it "the
American flag" His employees testified of other
things, un-American and ro-German, Hahn had
said and done.
He sentenced to four months in Jail.
Hahn to this country and found
hospitable welcome here. He piled up wealth, more
than he had ever dreamed of possessing in Ger
many. He enjoyed the rights and privileges ac-
corded to all persons who dwell under the Ameri-
flag.
And this is how he repays America for all she
has done for himI
The flag he sought when he was a poor i'm
migrant the flag which has protected him all these
years, the flag under which he reaped harvest
OF wealth, that flag he calls dirty rag! We
have infinitely more respect for the Hun in the
kaiser's army who wallows in bestiality and bru-
talty than we have for this Hun within our gates
who partakes of our bread at our table and then
so despicably betrays us. No decent person in all
America can henceforth think of this Gustaf Hahn
without feeling of disgust; no honest person will
hereafter pass this Hun upon our streets without
drawing aside his clothing so that by no means
will anything upon his person come into contact
with the clothing of this foul and loathsome traitor
and no American in all the days to come should
have any business social relations with this
Hun. =
Four months in Jail is not tbs punishment such

they make war upon perfectly good homegrown
