Beware of Losing Time.

rs hard to make up lost time.
Folks lose time when they are thought
less, young and foolish. Some never
set past this stage. They seem never
to realize that every day has its own
tasks and handicaps. Going back adds
to this past drawbacks plus interest.
Some things CAR never be made up.
Learn the way of Incidence and ire
sponsibility and no amount of lee
turing will help you overcome It.
Grow away from the study habit and
it's next to impossible to regain it.
1t takes heroic measures for old folks
to do what their youth has left undone.
So now's your time. If you're among
the old folks, make the best OF 1t. II
you belong to the young and highly ia
vored youth of today begin laying
foundations big enough to carry the
weight Of a great future.-P PennsyI-

Old Pepper said:

Then Old Pepper continued:
"In this section Of the German
trenches there are two or three ma
chine guns which our artillery, in the
last two or three days, has been un-
able to tape. These guns command the
sector where two of our communion

weapons-yOu may carry your per
suaders' or your Snuckle knives, and
each man will arm himself with four

A persuader is Tommys nickname
for club carried by the bombers. II
Is about two feet long, thin at one end
and very thick at the other. The thlcl;
end Is studded with sharp steel spikes,
while through the center of the club
there is n nine-lnch lead bar, to give
1t weight and balance. When you get
n prisoner all you have to do Is Just
stick this club up in front of him, and
believe me, the prisoners patriotism

away and he very willingly obeys the

prisoner gets high-toned and refuses to

The knuclle knife is n dagger affair,
the blade of which is about eight
inches long with heavy steel guard
over the grip. This guard Is studded
with steel projections. At night in

four feet wide, it makes a very handy
weapon. One punch in the face gen
orally skaters mans jaw and you
can get him with the knife as he goes
down.
Then we had what we called our
"cOme-aIOngs." These are strands Of
barbed wire about three feet long,
made into moose at one end at the
other end. The barbs are cut off and

We were ordered TO black our faces
and hands. For this reason; At night.
the English and Germans use what
they call star shells, Il sort of rocket
affair. They are fired from a large
pistol about twenty inches long, which
is held over the sandbag parapet of the
trench, and discharged into the air.
These star shells attain height of
about sixty feet, and range Of from
fifty to seventy-fve yards. When they
hit the ground they explode, throwing
out a strong calcium light which lights
up the ground in a circle of a radius of !
between ten to fifteen yards. They |
also have a parachute star shell which. |
