hand grenades, most of the injured
men were conscious and many of
them ahle to get about with the aid
Of improvised erutches. The surgeons
were busy in the dressing stations
and the waiting soldiers wanted moth

something cold and refreshing

or the sugar nobody knows, but the

alongside the barrels on a huge truck
The surgeons said afterward that
the lemonade served to keep down
the temperature of many a lad whose
wounds could not he dressed until
the most serious cases had been at

good old Yankee drink meant to

Even tho the war ends the food de-
mands upon this country will be just
as great and perhaps greater than
at any time during the war. There
seems to be an idea among the peo-
pie that when the fighting ceases,
there will be no necessity for further
saving of fodstuffs. This is enron
eous. Our efforts to produce and save
food shiuld be given as much if not
more attention now than formerly.
The American soldiers must be fed
in France for several months yet and
there are thousands of people in our
allied countries who are starving, and
it is up to the farmers if the United
States to supply the demand and
the duty Of all to conserve. The war
on German kultur may be practically
at an end but the war on waste has
just begun.

Photos OF France

Mrs. Annita Applegarth France,
who is in Europe on a mission OF
mercy, has sent TO her father, former
Senator VIM. F. Applegarth, of Col
den Hill, four splendid photographs
of France. These are being shown
in the windows of Nathan's Furni-
ture Store, on High street. Mrs.
France is accompanied by her hus-
band, Mr.. Jacob France, one of the
leading attorneys of Baltimore, who
gave up a large practice in that city
to give his services to the Red Cross
Society.
In the window are also some pho
tographs and relics brought to this
country by Mr.. Walter Wurzburger,
who maintains an office in New Y FORK
and Paris. These show the ruins of
the churches of France and scenes of
actual battles. One very appealing
picture shows a mother and her two
children, a son and a daughter. The
children have built a little fort and
from the top of it is flying the French
flag. Then the deadly shell takes
the life of the mother and the bro
Their, and the little girl is left crying
for the ones whose voices she will
never hear again.
Can anyone look at these pictures
and neglect to buy Liberty Bonds?

BOYS ORGANIZE TO
RAISE FOODSTUFF
Mr.. LeatherS Promises Them His
Support, And Youngsters Feel
Greatly Encouraged.

A very enthusiastic meeting was
held at the Parish House last night
in the interest of the Boys Garden
Club, and the following boys were
enrolled as members: Lee Mowbray,
John Mowbray, Norman Thomas, Jas.
Shaw, Earle Orem, James Adams,
Harper Moore. William Slacum, Mace
Wolff, James Paul, William Hand
ley, and Allan Jones.
Mr.. feathers, emergency demon
stration agent for Dorchester county,
talked to the boys and appealed to
their patriotism, pointing out to
them the need for food. Under his
direction an organization was form
ed, appointing Lee Mowbray presi-
dent and Earle Orem secretary.
1t is hoped that the men of Cam
bridge will do all in their power to
encourage these boys. The ground
must be plowed for them and ferti-
lizer and seed bought. Last year
the boys had no fertilizer and no en-
coura cement, the result of which was
not very good.
Mr.. feathers has promised to
stand by the BOYS all summer, and it
is understood that he generally fin
ishes what he undertakes. All con-
tributions may be sent to Mrs. Levi
B. Phillips, treasurer. 1t is hoped
that the banks will be as liberal this
year as they were last.
