and it will require the best efforts o
the nation.
Miss Hickman followed. She gave
a history of the ulcb work and said
there were now thirty-three Louisiana
parishes with a membership of eight
thousand girls. Last gear st. Ian
dry. had forty-eight members in the
clubs, now it had six hundred. Three
thousand girl members in the state
each had one-tenth acre and therefore
can have a garden all the time. The
boys, she said, can help too. She ad-
Yised the members to keep a record
of what they do, saying that this work
viii help win the war.
Mrs. Laurie Lake Ihrie, district
agent, spoke on the Potato" She said
that there was at least one way to
help, and that was to save all the
wheat we could. There we're twenty
five ways in which to use the potato,
and then exhibited samples of potato
cake 0 sunshine cake (made by Mrs.
Simon Isaacson of Palmetto, who has
ably assisted in demonstration work.;
fine rolls, bread, mullins, ETC., and
the receipts for these different arti-
cles could be obtained at Jacobs News
Depot Companytin Opelousas. She
told how some of these can be made,
and closed by saying Potatoes for us,
wheat for our boys over there and
our allies"
A feature of the meeting was the
address delivered by Miss Gabrielle
Barclay, fourth year club member of
Scott, Lafayette parish. She gave a
detailed history of her work under
her able instructor, Miss B~oudreau,
home agent. The first year she failed
to prune and stake her tomatoes and
they did not do so well. The next sea-
o she attended to this important
work and attained good results. She
canned her crop of fruit at night
while during the day she worked the
entire time in the house. She ad-
Yised all to have courage and told of
her many trials and discouragements
with cut worms, blight and kindred
evils and after going through these
trials had finally changed her plot of
ground.
This girl is about twelve OF thirteen
years of age and last year canned
six hundred jars, winning first prize
at both parish and state fairs for
three consecutive years or the three
years she entered the contests. Last
year at New Orleans, at the stock
show she won first prize. Last year
her money profits on one-tenth of an
acre was $102 and besides won $45
in prizes. In this her fourth year
she hopes to go one better. Hats off
to this Lafayette child who works all
day and cans until midnight! She
gives due credit to her teachers for
her many successes.
Following the exercises on the
court square, the assemblage moved
to the high school grounds where din
er was served and later in the even
ing many attended the moving picture
show as a finale of the days festiv-
tiles.
Much credit is due Mrs. Mary B.
Giesen who has lost no opportunity
since her residence here and connec-
ton with the demonstration work to
make everything a complete success.

Great Britain

Let those who, in their haste, have al- legged that England has not done her full part in this war, consider these facts and hang their heads in shame: Lord Curzon of the British war cabinet announced the other day that Great Britain has given 1000, 900 men to the war Heavens, what total! And Australia Canada, New Zea- land, India Ireland, Scotland and Wales are all represented here; the Seven Sisters of the Seven Seas, come to help the Mother at home Five million Britons are under arms today in foreign fields of war. de- clared Lord Curzon, so 2,000,000 must have already done their bit. This means that there are but few soldiers in England now, except invalids and men in training camps and depots awaiting orders to sail The total includes the navy, too. England has soldiers in France, probably 2,000,000 maybe 3,000,000 by this time; and soldiers in Italy, in Egypt, in Palestine, in Russia and in Greece. She has kept the seas for four years inviolate from any German keel upon their surface. And English gold as well as English blood kept the war going until America entered with her billions to help carry the load. All unprepared at the beginning except for her Grand Fleet, Eng land has blundered often and moved slowly at times amidst great confusion but there has never been doubt as to the resolu- ton and final death grip of the British bull dog on the daschund throat England is in to stay In deep. In 100000 men,
 Stand Fast is England's word by mouth of Lloyd George to the allied world And some day, not far distant it may well be, English troops are going to move eastward from either Albert or immortal Ypres in an offensive unmatched and unknown in this great war. The Briton never forgets That German drive of March 29 last Is yet to pay for And never fear, the Hun will pay.
Bisbee daily review., 1918-08-07

As the stories of the last Marne battle come in from the pens of both American and foreign correspondents, the glory of the American troops who fought there glows brighter. When the Prussian Guards were sent in to drive the Americans back from Sergy then was seen what the core spondents called the classic fighting of the campaign-man against man and the better to win. There was no call for quar- ter. The pride of the professional German soldier was up against the pride of the free man of peaceful republic both preferring death to surrender And as the fighting extended further eastward hour by hour, the Prussians who attacked were annihil- ated in every instance. It was declared further that members of the Prussian Guard taken prisoner stated that thei orders were to hold the line at all costs. They obeyed. Most of them died on that line. Their cour- age and fighting qualities compelled Amer ican admiration, even as they did at Y pres three years ago when the English at bay destroyed two divisions of the Prussian Guard fighting then as now, to the death and gave ungrudging admiration to their foes. The common foot soldier has fought we'll many times before this war in bad cause at his leaders call and command. Mores the pity.

A WEEKDAY STORY ABOUT AN
 EVERYDAY MAN

w. E. Smith, better known as Slim" fell down a mine shaft in the warren district day before yesterday and was instantly killed. A brief story of the iatal accident was ca1rieu in The Review of yesterday. But Slim" Smith was entitled to more than passing notice in the columns of the Arizona press His two gocd old friends. Martin armstrong, rancher. down south of .Bisbee on the Mexican line, and Charlie Mailer cattleman 0I the Sulphur Springs valley, called on the newspaper man yesterqay 10 speak sadly and m praise of the man who had just crossed the Great Divide.
 Sim was fearless and cool and modest declared Armstrong, and ne never had an enemy around nere Lna- know or. If a liner epitaph than this can be spoken of any pilgrim in this vale below this newspaper man does not know what it cOuid be.
 Many men are brave bur few are cool and fewer still are modest. And all of us seem to have the unhappy faculty of making enemies easier than friends. But the dead cowboy who was so brave and so skilfull with his gun did not make any enemies. That he made friends was manifest yester- day when these two stern. strong, brOnzed cattlemen sat in the newspa- per mans den and spoke softly and m broken tones of the vanished horse man Of the ranges
 For twelve years Slim" Smith had ridden the ranges and the valleys of Sonora and COchise county and had passed through every danger of the Southwest unscathed. His ooolness and his skill as much as his bravery carried him past sudden dcath m is manifold forms in this border land or the old days. But when Slim turned his skilfull hand from his old trade oi the saddle, the rope and the gun Co the unfamiliar patds or mining. he quickly met tho death that had re- treated before him for SO many years. He didn't know anything about min mg," said Charlie Miller, and so he went and got killed within a month after he turned from the ranges to the job of taking that iron pipe out of that old mine It just shows that a maa ought to stick close to the thing he knows well how to dO.'
 slim" Smith had many other good friends besides the two who sat and talked to the newspaper man. One or these was none other than George PatullO, the well known writer of ad- venture stories for the Saturday Ev- ening Post PatJllo and Slim were cronies in the wild days Ol the Ma derO revolution in Mexico, and the newspaper writer made his cattle puncher friend the hero of many Of his tales. He could well GO this and write truth as we'll as fiction, for Slim" had some hairhresdth escape herding cattle i'm the Canauea country during all that stormy period from the overthrow of DiaZ Co the final estah- lishment of Carranza i'm Mexico City.
 Slim" came from fighting stock. Two of his brothers are now in the United States army. one of them being in France His mother lives in Nixon. Texas. and the remains will be ship ped there after the funeral this after

The stern, dark side of war now presents its terrible face to America the casualty lists of the last big drive are just coming in With a quarter of million men en- gagged in some of the hardest fighting of the war America can well expect no light lists of the dead, wounded and missing But the young republic has been blooded before. She read the Civil war lists, the heaviest of modern war with the possible exception of Napoleon s wars, and did not shrink from paying the price of an un- divided union And she will not shrink now from the great price of world free dom But 1t Is sad, very sad, to read the names of those gallant boys from state after state of this union who died in those French forests and among the ripened grain of the wheat fields and in the sunny vines and sloping meadows of the land of France They died far from home; died so soon after they pressed foot on France But, by the living God! their memory will never die, either in America or France Sergy and its woods and farms and fields will live forever and for aye in the song and story of three great nations of the world
