CHAPTER xl.
Action at the DardaneIIes.

I made twelve trips to the Darda- nelles in all, the Cassard acting gen. erally as convoy to troop ships, but I cannot remember all the details. so I will give only certain incidents of the voyages that you might find inter- esting. We never put into the Darda- nelles without being under fire-but besides saying so, what Is there to Ing enough at .the time, though, you can take it from mel
 Coming up to "V'' beach on our third trip to the Dardanelles, the weather was as nasty as any I have ever seen. The rain was sweeping along in sheets-great big drops. and driven by the wind in regular volleys You could see the wind coming, by the line of white against a swell where the drops hit.
 As we rounded the point, the seas got choppier, and there were cross currents bucking the ship from every angle, it seemed. You could not sec two hundred yards away, the rain was so thick, and the combers were breaking over our bows three min ute. The coast here is pretty danger. ous, so we went in very slowly and had the sounding line going until its whir-r-r-r sounded louder than a ma chine gun in action.
 I was on the starboard bow at ths time and had turned to watch some garbies poking at the scuppers to drain the water off the deck. But the scuppers had been plugged and they were having hard time of it. The officer on the bridge, in oilskins, was walking up and down, wiping% of the business end of his telescope and try ing to dodge the rain. All of the gar bies but one left the scuppers on the starboard side and started across decks to port. The other chap kept on fooling around the scuppers. Then l saw big wave coming for us, just

number of heavy guns from Brest and were given the job of running them ashore. It was day and night work and a great job for fun, because, while you never knew when you would get E, you had good reason to feel you would get damned by cute little shell or a dainty bit of shrap- nel before the job was over.
 Aboard ship it was deck work, of course. and if was not much better there than ashore with the guns, be- cause the enemy trenches were near the shore and they amused them selves trying to pick us off whenever We showed on deck. I guess we were regular shooting gallery for them, and some of our men thought they did not need all the practice they were getting, for quite a few of us acted as bulls eyes.
 But we did not mind the bullets so much. They make clean wound or put you away entirely; shrapnel tears you up and can play all kinds of tricks with various parts of your body without killing you. As for shells-well, mincemeat Is the word.
 The Narrows were thick with mines and there had been great deal of damage done there, so after while the British detailed their Yarmouth trawlers to go in and sweep up. They had to go up unprotected, of course, and they started off one night all serene.
 Everything went we'll until they turned at the Narrows and started back. Then, before you could tell it, five or six searchlights were playing on one of the trawlers and shells were splashing the water all over her. Both banks were simply banging away point blank at them and I never thought they would get back
 They did get back, though, but some of them had hardly enough men left to work ship. But that is like the Limeys. They will get back from anywhere while there is one man alive.
 A chap aboard one of the trawlers said shell went through the wheel house between the quartermaster and himself and all the Q. NJ. said was. Claw blimey. that tickled.'
 But l know their shooting was very bad,' said the other chap to me. Those Turks must have thought the fiue was behind theEl.'
 
 Coming back fro:si the Dardanelles gold stripe sent for me and asked inc whether thought there were other ex-navy gunners in the States that. would serve with the French I told them the country was full of good gunners and te wanted me te write to all knew and get them to come over.

Arkansas Must Increase Wheat Produc. ton Ten Per Cent. Grower to Be
 Granted Special Privileges

Arkansas must raise 17,000 acres of winter wheat, which calls for an increase in her acre age this fall over last fall by ten per cent. according to w. c. Las setter, Director of the Agricultu ral Extension Division, who says:
 Arkansas farmers can help the government, insure the pro- duction of 667, ,0Oo, ,0O0 bushels of winter wheat, if every landowner in tfe state will see to itthat suf fcient wheat is grown on the place to meet the needs of each family And all should realize that the United States Food Ad- ministration will allow the grow CT special privileges on the use of home grown wheat.
 Results at the Arkansas EX pertinent Station show conclu- sively that wheat sown on prop erly prepared seed bed in the right way, aJ the proper rate of seeding, will produce sufficient wheat from a small acreage to supply the needs of any family. These experiments have also shown that under most condl- tions it pays to fertilize wheat, if the work is done properly, and that the seed should be treated for smut before planting. The best varieties to plant have also been determined.
 Information covering every phase of the production Of wheat can be secured by consulting the County Agent, or by writing to the Extension Division or the College of Agriculture, at Fay etteville.

1 which should be canned spoil. The amount of sugar granted the state from the country's sup. ply for next month is SO,000 pounds more chan allowed Ar ] kansas this month. The quota for the period ending in October is as follows:
 July 5,563, 900, August ESQ., GOO, September 4,061 ,000, Octo- Der 4,14l.000.
 Officials in Washington, how ever, gave notice that those en- titled to sugar under Certificate A, including less essentials bottlers and candy manufac- turers- are to receive "one-third of the total amount to which they were entitled during July, Aug nst and September, rather than based on new statement for last years usage " While no compu. tatiOD has been made of the amount of suga. given to manu- lecturers of less essentials for their supply this month, it is known, however, that, under the latest edict, their supply of su gar1will be further curtailed and they will receive less sugar for October than they did during August and September.
 Reports from various counties in the state have contained com plaint that those who desired su gar for canning have been unable to get it for that purpose, and the announcement from Wash ington will be good news to coun- ty food administrators. many of whom have been striving to maintain the home canning in dustry up to last years amount. The Food Administration has re peatedly urged the canning and preserving of fruit and food, pointing out that great conserva tion and. food saving results by those methods.
 Tn the event sugar in excess of the state's quota Is needed for canning" the State Food Ad- ministration declared, it will be allowed" No one should refrain from canning fruit under the i'm pression that they cannot obtain sugar for that purpose. County food administrators are urged to provide the amount needed. We can get 1t. However, to obtain sugar under the preteXt of can hing and then use 1t for personal consumption is gross violation of the sugar regulations and will be severely punished under the 'hoarding' section of the food control act passed by Cong ress.'

MEASURE SUGAR
BY TEASP0ONFULS

Three pounds of sugar per month
per person.
That's the limit set by the Food
Administration.
There are 1870 heaping teaspoons of
sugar in three pounds. This means
six teaspoons per person each day,
or two per meal. But 1t takes at least
half of the three pounds for cooking.
This leaves only half as much for
table use, or about one teaspoon per
meal per person
We cannot do without sugar better
than the boys in the trenches and

lemon juice is used to bleach and re-
move such blemishes as freckles, sal

softener, smoothener and beautifier.
just try it! Make up a quarter aint
of this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion
and massage it daily into the face.
