/ TO SHIP GULL GRAPE
FRUIT TO GENERAL HOS
PITAL OF U. 8. ARMY

AT the last weekly meeting OF the
executive committee OF Plant CITY
Chapter, A. r.. c., communication
was presented from Ashley P. Beck
EFT, building secretary, Y. M. 9. A.
Building No. All, U. S. Genera. Hos
pital No. IS, Waynesville N. c.. rela-
tive to shipment Of Gull grapefruit to
this hospital. The inquiry came
through Mrs. T. c. Mcguire and was
referred to P. A. Merlin. as a COM
mittee of one, will have charge OF this
work, securing containers and super
intending shipment of fruit.
It was brought out that the hest OF
the Gull grapefruit can be used to
advantage to the army hospital the
patients Of which will be delighted to
be served with this delicious Florida
product. The impression that only
the best fruit should be given to the
hospitals is dispelled by the fact that
the term "cull' does not signify that
a fruit is not good-in many cases 1t
IS only a slight blemish that causes
it to be cast out. Shipment to fancy
trade must bear only fruit of the fin
est appearance, and in asking for
"culls" the "Y" representative knew
that it would bring product Of good
quality.
Report of shipment Of supplies
made by work committee was read.
The report was filed for record and
the committee complimented on the
splendid achievements of the Chapter.
The treasurer's report as to re-.
ceipts included return of $2275 from
sales Of SO cans of tomatoes donated
some time ago by the Durant Can
ming Club girls. These girls are to
be congratulated in making the con.
tribution, for it served not only to
supply food to the consumers in a
time when there was concern over the
food situation, but added neat sum
to the fund carrying forward the
great work of the Red Cross PLANT
City Courier.

American Advance Zone, France
Nov. 16.-Bread for the Yankee sol
der in France is baked, not in the
dainty one-pound loaves used al
home, but in loaves that weigh twelve
pounds each. They are so big as to
be inconvenient and the size now is
being changed to a uniform square
loaf of four pounds.
ALI the baking is on huge scale.
Asked for the recipe by which Amer
lean bread has attained its superior
ity among all the Allied armies. the
chief baker gave it as follows:
Flour 160 pounds; sugar. salt,
yeast, lard and water, Sc pounds; to-
tai PIG pounds. He did not define
the amount of the various ingredi-
ents, possibly from fear of giving in
formation to the bakers of the Ger
man army.
The huge quantities Of dough al
ways on hand laying" or rising un-
der the influence of the yeast, look
like a giant battery Of snowballs.
Each dough is huge mass weigh
ing 4S0 pounds which two men han
die with difficulty. Over it the sol
diers bend, naked to the waist, kneed-.
ing and mixing. Then the huge mass
rolls along to the next table, where It
is drawn into long thick strings,
which the soldiers deity chop off in
12-pound loaves, never varying an
ounce. ready for the ovens.
There is but one standard of army
bread, for officers and men alike, and
General Pershing eats exactly the
same kind of 4-pound loaf as the SOL
der in the ranks. In fact, the Amer.
lean army bread Is so superior to the
civilian bread commonly on sale in
France, that it is regarded as great
luxury. officers and men are besieged
by civilians to get them some OF the
fine, white American bread, and
American officers at hotels are the
envy Of other guests for the army
bread they are able to eat.
1t was suggested to the head baker
that tradition gave women the first
place as bread makers, and he was
asked If women could not be utilized
III making this army bread, thus re-
lfeving 1000 men from that service.
Women wouldn't last one day in
this kind Of hard work." he said
This is break making by the ton, and
by millions of loaves. and it takes
physical strength to handle the huge
quantities of material. 1t would be
impossible for women and it is the
hardest kind Of work for men,"

With the American Troops in
France, Nov. 11.-Airplanes swung
in circles above the little chapel be-
hind the firing line during the funeral
of the American aviator, Lieutenant
Blair Thaw Of Pittsburgh. The avia-
tors in the filing squadrons permitted
their airplanes to circle lower as his
body was lowered into the grave near
q little cemetery not far behind the
trenches.
Lieutenant Thsw was killed wheI
his plane developed engine trouble
two thousand feet from the ground
and fell, striking telephone wires and
tipping over before it struck the
ground.
Every aviator in Lieutenant Thaw's
squadron who could obtain leave Of
absence attended his funeral. His
mother and sister who were in Paris
at the time Of the accident, also were
present.
The burial was in a cemetery where
lies the body of Major Raoul Luf-
berry, another noted American aviator.
At the freshly turned grave stood a
group Of. mechanics holding upright

chine as taps were sounded and the

Must Have Higher Rates.

Usage, May 1.-The question OF eiec-
trio light and power rates IN osase
Is still "p in the air. and judging
from the action of the city council, the
council and Manager Ferris are farther
apart than ever. Before the books OF
the company were audited by the eX-
merits the council offered Mr.. Ferris an
increase of one-third over the rates
now in effect This he fatty refused 10
accept. After the report of the exam
liners was received and gone over the
council decided that 20 per cent IN :
crease was all that was needed TO 1loe
the company over the rough spots dur
ing the present high cost OF operation
because of the war. The city dads also
figured this twenty per cent was
enough to pay a small dividend on tne
plant. Manager Ferris says no and
that he cannot accept any SUCH IN
crease.
Manager Ferris OF the electric com
pany, has served a paper on the ci.s
