Death of Mrs. Alice Arnold

The beloved wife and mother, Mrs. Alice Arnold. was taken away from us Friday morning, Nov P, at S:30.
 She was a kind and sweet wife and mother and loved by all who knew her. She leaves a husband and seven children and host of friends and relatives to mourn her ioss.
 She was a good chris ian, and kind to everybody that she met. She was taken with influenza and suffered great pain for two weeks. Every thing was done to save her life that her friends and medical science could do as done for her, but to no avail. She said she was willing to leave this world at any time. Mourn not, dear husband and children, lol you have lost your precious darling, but God has seen fit to take her. She has paid the debt we all have to pay. She has crossed over the Valley of Death and is at rest beyond. She Is asleep beyond the Crystal Shore. Expect to meet your darling in a better world, where partings will be no more. While our sorrow IS great, we know the dear one is at rest.
 She was the wife of Mir. Dave Arnold. She was laid to rest in the Lone Pine cemetery, Sunday afternoon, Nov. "A. Revs. Smith and Dell Dickerson conducting the funeral service.
 A great loss.

Our Army Slang
 Charms The British


 nothing of his military powers, have endeared him to all classes in France and England. French newspapers tell of his chivalrous attitude toward the fair sex generally and his kindly, pater- nal way with the children in war racked village. the English dai- lies print columns about his alert, military bearing, and the charm of his native slang. This last characteristic draws forth the following letter on" what Sam my Says, which is taken from the London Daily Mail:
 Sammy is in my ward, and l like him. His face he describes as "one of the sort that only a mother could love-" but some how, lrntern- jawed and high checked as it is. it apeals to me Even more than his face I like his conversation. His eXper. fences during the war are, 1 sup pose. much the same ss those of other men; his mode of relating them is peculiarly his own. The picturesqueimagery with he adorns speech may be an old tory in Gods country"- to me it is a thing of wonder and joy forever.
 He came over "the big drink" some months ago. He had a plas- and voyage, saw no tin fish. " and had plenty to eat six meals day, thaee up and three down. :" On arrival at port they got into the dinkest Iitnle train over there. " Befere 1t started. the captain ask for key to wind 1t up with. Sammy says that personally he intends to take one home as charm to hang on his watch-chain.
 They W mt into camps. where they spent their tima hiking" about the countryside The
 eats here were not overgood.
 They were given tea which tasted 6ke water Noah kept afloat in" and fish that was never caught but must have giv- en itself up." However they made their motto, work like Helen B. Happy" and stuck i, out bravely. The one thing that really got their goat" was having to sleep on terra firma.
 That. Sammy says, is Latin for terrible. hard.
 Ultimately he and his compan- ions crossed to the front.
 The country pleased Sammy. but he found the language diff cult and the Frenh people slow of comprehension. On one acca- sion he wanted a pair of duck shoes, so he went into boot makers and quacked - but he couldn't get the old dame wise" to it.
 For the fight that put him out of action Sammy says his lieute- nant was responsible. He was sure tired of his position and crazy on becoming a captlan or an angel" Sammy was ready enough to help, but a BOche shell intervened and in- sisted on sending in his name with an application for immed- fate transfer to the Flying Corps"
 Hence his presence in hospital. it is my duty to give Sammy his letters, and to-day. as he read 1 a voluminous epistile his face frightened to such an.extent that l was forced to inquire what good tidings had; arrived. He hesitated. then grinned. "T don't mind telling you, nurse," he said. Its my wife writing, and from what she says calcul- ate that when 1 get home there Il be something besides fence

How Potato Spraying Paid.

Some potato growers, according to
a recent statement from the depart
ment Of agriculture, have expressed
the opinion that 1t does not pay to
spray potatoes for late blight. That
thorough spraying will control the
blight In seasons Of bad Infection has
been proved many times in the past,
says the statement, and most recently
in Aroostook county, Me-. In 1917.
Among other places in the county this
was shown conclusively at Aroostook
farm, where extensive experiments
were conducted by the United States
department Of agriculture in c0-Opera-
ton with the Maine Agricultural Ex-
pertinent station. In one block where
small test plots sprayed with standard
bordeaux mixture were interspersed
with untreated plots, the average
yield on II Of the former was at the
rate of 1872 bushels per acre, while
that on an equal number of untreated
plots was at the rate Of 1898 bushels
per acre, an increase of 37.7 bushels
per acre, or more than 20 per cent in
favor Of bordeaux mixture.

CALL FOR MORE CORN

Wheat excepted, corn 10 the
most valuable and indispensable
Of the worlds grain crops. 1t
holds a commanding position in
the agriculture Of the United
States. Its vast acreage and
heavy yields are responsible to
no small extent for the success
Of agriculture. The department
Of agriculture, in its program u.s.
sued early in February. which
re-emphasized and ampllHed the
food production program for
1918 published by the depart
ment in August, 1917. recon-
mended that an acreage Of corn
approximately equal to that Of
1917. which was the largest on
record, should be planted in
1918, with possibly slight reduc-
lions in certain sections to free
areas for spring wheat. In 1917
the acreage devoted to corn was
approximately 119, 1855, 900 acres,
compared with 105,672.0O0 acres,
the average for 1911-15, and
with 107. OS3, 600 acres for 1912
and 1O6. 1911, 900 acres for 1915.

reached the doorstep and stood there

IT. You've got to !" she whispered to
herself commandingly.
She never doubted that Ward was
inside. She thought she would find
him dead-dead and horrible, perhaps.
No other solution seemed to fit the
circumstances. He was in there, dead.
1t took courage to open that door,
but Billy Louise had courage enough
TO open 1t, and to step inside and close
the door after her. She did not look
ut anything in the cabin while she did
it, though. She kept her eyelids down
so that she only saw the floor directly
in front of the door. She had q sense
OF relief that 1t looked perfectly nat
ural, though dusty.
Throw up your hands! !" came
hoarsely from the bunk. Billy Louise
gasped and pulled her gum, and
dropped crouching to the floor. Also
she looked up.
From her crouching position she
looked into Wards fever-wild eyes.
He was sitting up In the bunk, and he
was pointing his big forty-five at her
relentlessly. Get up from there !" he
ordered sternly. Don't try any game
like that on me. Buck Olney! Get I'D
and 60 over and sit in that chair. I've
got a few things to say to you"
Billy Louise somehow grasped the
truth, up to a certain point. Ward was
sick; so sick he didn't know her.
She thought she would better humor
him. She got up and went and sat in
the chair as he directed.
Ward, keeping tn, sun pointing her
way, sneered at her In q way that
made the soul of Billy Louise crimple.
She faced him big-eyed, too amazed
at the change In him to feel any fear
that he would harm her. He had whis-
kers two inches long. She wouldn't
have known him except for his hair
and that was terribly tousled; and his
eyes, though they were wild and angry.
His voice was hoarse, and while he
glared at her, he coughed with a hard.
