A MOTHERS PROMISE
TO HER SON
By KATHLEEN NORRIS

My Dear One-Pm writing this very,
very small and on the thinnest of pa
per, so that tightly folded it may slip
into one of the olive drab pockets Of
your new uniform without encroaching
for the tiniest part of an inch upon all
the new things that you must have
there-the passports and identifica-
ton slips and photograph, the knife
and pen and writing pad, the lists
and numbers and names and ciphers,
the address book and the thin manual
you have been studying so hard and
the slim little Bible, for this letter is
a part of your equipment, too, or at
least like to think that it is.
I'm going to tell you in it just one
or two of the things we've been try
ing not to sayin these last days. You've
said to yourself, haven't you, that
there we're possibilities that l, thank
God, hadn't seemed to think Of.
You've marvelled gratefully, haven't
you, that l could say goodby with

should do when the war Is over. My
dear, there is nOthing-nothing
can happen to you that haven't fore
seen in every detail since May, since
the very beginning of it all. | know

month or two months or six months
from now, just to read 1t over once
more for the last time. just TO feel
in your fingers out there in a shell

have touched-for goodbye.
And thinking of all this for almost

CHANCE FOR EVERY FARMER
TO TRAIN A BOY TO WORK

(By c. E, Alfred, Farm Management
Specialist, Division Of Agricultural
Extension, Knoxville, Tenn
Many farmers are in position to use
boy help to advantage. Fruit farmers
truck farmers, ETC., can use them ex
ceptionally we'll The experience OF
last year shows that the average farm
er's prejudice against the city boy Is
not we'll founded. Of course, there are
boys and boys. But at least 75qo OF
the boys do good work--a part of tbs
other $50 were with farmers who did
not have enough patience to give then
the preliminary training.
Every farmer should this year train
at least one boy to be farmer.

taaes, but This One Is Enough to
Justify the Work.

(By R. ~ Crane. Poultry Specialist,
Division Of Agricultural Extension.
University of Tennessee, Knoxville.)
Gapeworms destroy young chickens
by cutting thru the lungs, getting &C.
cess to the lungs thru the thorax.
A chicken dies out in the field some
where or perhaps Is buried. The cape
worm, after the body Of the chicken is
dissected, burrows out into the soil.
The female gapeworm lays her eggs in
the outer rings Of the fish worms body.
The Old hen, running with young chick
ems, scratches out these worms for the
little chickens, and they greedily de-
your the fish worms, gapeworms eggs
and all. Grit and the delicate muscles
of baby chickens are not able to digest
the egg Of the gapeworm at the same
time the fish worm is digested. So the
egg Of the gapeworm passes thru into
the intestines where the juices dis.
solve the egg and Iiberates the young
worm, The worms burrow thru the
intestines and work back into the gull
let Of the chicken, where If they are
not given attention, they will go thru
the thorax, gain access into the lungs
and destroy the chicken.
If chickens are taken in time, when
they first begin gaping, and the az
fected chickens to the number Of a
half dozen be placed in a 24-pound pa.
per flour sack, with a tablespoonful Of
air Stacked burnt lime, and shaken up
two or three times, the chickens will
usually sneeze the worms out. The
worms should be gathered on a paper
and burned
The most practical way to control
gapes is to confine the mother hens inI
an A-shaped coop and allow the chick,
ems free range The chickens are not
strong enough to scratch out the
worms themselves, and the hens, be
ing confined to coops, will not be given
chance to scratch.

HOW COUNTY AGENTS HELP
POULTRY PRODUCTION WORK


Thru the joint efforts Of H. H
Thomas, county agent, and Mabel
Moore, county home demonstration
agent, Of Greene county, wonderful
interest in purebred White Leghorn
chickens has been created since last
fall.
Several farmers have Matched moth
ing but purebred chickens and these
iii sufficient quantities to have lay,
ing flock of from two or four hundred
hens. The agents contemplate build
ing several more new poultry houses
during the summer months, each
house with a capacity of one to five
hundred fowls.

THE VARIOUS STEPS TAKEN To-
WARD PEACE.

The first step toward peace was the
signing of the armistice with Turkey
on October 81. America, not being
at war with Turkey, took no official
part in the determination of the
terms; however, this helped us be-
cause it gave us the use of the rail-
roads, warships and territory to be
used for belligefent purposes against
Germany. It also opened the Oar
danelles, the Bosphorus and Black
seas to the British and French. Con-
sequently they were able to send aid
to Russia and destroy the German
power in the Black Sea.
The Austro- Hungarian monarchy,
now that the external pressure had
been removed by the truce, was fly
ing to fragments from its internal
strain. Race had risen against race,
class against class, deserving soldiers
and unrestrained criminals roamed
about the country. There was serious
fighting between civilians and sol
diers everywhere. It was during these
conditions that Count lisa was assas-
sinated November 1.
On November Austria surren-
dered. So this was one more enemy
out of the way and this gave the Ital-
ians more freedom.
On November Germany asked for
armistice terms. Marshal Foch had
been authorized by the government Of
the United States and the Allied gov
ernments to receive properly accred-
tied representatives of the German
and to communicate to
them terms of an armistice.
It was soon learned that Germany
was trying hasten the peace negotia-
lions because the soldiers and sailors
were revolving with the workingmen.
The Kaiser, however, refused to sign
the armistice, abdicated and fled to
Holland. A German representative
signed it, for all the German people
were in favor Of it.
On November IL all fighting had
ceased and the world is now eagerly

 Another remark he made which in- dicated how sadly he misconstrued the epoch making significance of the great war in which the whole world was involved was quite characteristic. "With so mnny men at the front" he said. "sthe men at home ought to be having fine time with the women. eh, whats Do you many good looking girls in Berlin nowfv

 That the crown prince had very littl Influence in the internal affairs of hi country was indicated, perhaps, by al Incident in which he attempted to d me favor.
 l I had a new Mercer" car which
 had had sent over from America jus before the war started. I had bee Iable to use it but little, because tn use of automobiles by civilians wa prohibited as soon as hostilites began and. in fact, most of the cars wer seized by the military authorities.

NO IDEA OF APPOINTMENTS

 The crown prince and I did not get from the fact he was such a physical
 coward that it was almost impossible to work on him satisfactorily, he seemed to have no idea of the meaning of an appointment.
 He would agree to be at my office at 9:30 and l would plan my day ac- cordingly. At about 10 he was apt to call me up to say he would be on hand at II, and he would actually arrive about 12. This happened sew leral times, and I told him that couldn't have my work broken up in that way. After seven or eight visits at that particular period, I didn't see him pro- fessionally for some 10 years Shortly after his last visit to me, in 1905, Princess Won Pless told me that she had just met him and had told him that she was on her way to my office. Well. hope I'll never have to go to a dentist again as long as I live" he had declared emphatically. T hate dentists!"
 As far as I was concerned, I was not at all sorry that he felt that way were more of liability than an asset, but 1 did rather regret that I was ap-
