Quickly Adapt Themselves.

Although this was the first time the
Americans had been in the trenches, the
units from various parts of the United
States quickly adapted themselves 10
their new surroundings. Luckily, the
weather was fine the first few DAYS but
for some time past until today snow and
rain have continuously fallen in this
sector, as it has in the American no
sitions northwest of Toul.
Due to the fact that the ground is
fairly high the trenches are not con-
tinuous, because that is Unnecessary
and they have remained fairly dry. The
American patrols have been operating
nightly in conjunction with the French
and have worked between the lines
with the greatest freedom. The artil-
lery has been only intermittentIy ac-

O. S. Troops on Lorraine Front.

The American troops. which have TAX
en- up their position on the Lorraine
front recently, were bilieted in towns
back of the line, when they suddenly
received orders to move to the front.
They were transported in motor trucks
over roads an inch deep in dust.
Streams of cannon, trucks and motor
cycles along the roads raised clouds of
dust, which stuck tothe men and made
their clothes, faces and equipment grey
by the time they had reached the towns
close TO the firing line. from which they
marched to their position during the
night
They found themselves in a section of
Lorraine where the ground rose in
slight grades In some cases the enemy
lines were half a mile away.

Save Peach Pits

Every householder in Ameri-
ca can render small but, in the
aggregate, very important ser
vice in helping to win the war
by saving peach pits, prune
pits, cherry stones and the
shells of all kinds of nuts.
Uncle Sam finds these kinds of
wood make the best charcoal
for use in the soldiers gas
masks as filter devices. No
other kind of charcoal is quite
so useful for the purpose.
Do not underestimate the
value of the shells and pits you
may be able to save. Every lit
tie helps.
Information will be given
later thru these columns where
they are to be sent.-Kansas

IF YOUR FARM WERE

IN NO MANS LAND
What man, woman or child
is there who first saw the light
of day on one of the thousands
of farms in Free America who
does not recall the glories of
childhood days on the old
farm? What a blessing to
youth were liberty, pure air,
freedom of the woods and
fields, and association with the
animal and bird life that made
a fairyland of the "home
place!" The very name "home
place" is synonymous with
'Liberty" in America.
Since soil was first titled in
the new world the American
farmer has been the symbol of
peaceful prosperity. The Amer
ican farmers at Lexington be-
gan the movement to free the
homestead. And, thanks to the
loyalty and patriotism of the
farm boy in trying times of ma
tional danger, the homestead
has remained a freeinstitution
ever since. Farms given to
pioneers by this great govern
ment have come to support and
enrich generations of freedom
loving families since then. The
government could not always
insure crops. But Providence
has been good to the American
farmer and you today are the
tillerS of soil in the greatest Sec
ton of the greatest country on
earth.
But, in your good fortune,
have you stopped to compare
your lot with that of the farmer
in the war-torn battle areas of
Europe? Do you know what
has actually happened to the
farms and farmers in Belgium,
France, Poland, Serbia and It.

Notice

A special invitation is ex-
tended to every one to assist in
the surgical dressing depart
ment, until sufficient material
arrives to warrant the opening
of other departments. Much
help is needed in this depart
ment, and it is not necessary
that you have previous expert
ence in this line of work to be
of assistance. All that is neces-
sary is that you have the neces-
sary inclination to help the
boys at the front. Bring cap
and apron, and those in charge
will give you all other neces-
sary directions. The rooms
are open on Tuesday and
Thursday evening of each
week, and on Wednesday and
Friday afternoon. A special in
vitation is extended to the high
school girls, and all others as
well, for the evening work
hours. When it is considered
that the first aid administered
to the wounded is often the
means of saving the life, the
importance of the surgical
dressings department is more
easily understood.
