EARNS IA CENTS A DAY;
HAS WIFE AND BABY
And Yet This True Story Has a
Happy Ending.

Even Frenchman sometimes loses,
for awhile at least, his "unfailing"
sense of humor.
Take, for Instance. the case Of
man from Lille, a soldier, Waeltele by
name and only twenty-three. He had
done pretty well, for the youngstcr had
already his own printing shop in that
northern French town, which is still In
side the German lines. In the trenches
Waeltele developed tuberculosis. and
he was sent to hospital at Grcnoble.
There he was considered inCurable,
and after the usual three months Of
treatment he was granted his IA cents
Il day pension. Said his fathcrly army
doctor, My son, you can perhaps cure
yourself II you will live In the noun
tains, II you will eat plenty of uour-
fishing food and, above all, II you don't
worry"
WSeIteIe should have smiled, but he
didn't. He was thinking OF his baby
and his wife-and his - cents. Don't
worry" The humor OF IL entirely es-
capped him.
Then the Red Cross stepped I'm. He
was found by an American woman
with some American Red Cross money
for just such cases. and within few
hours he no longer had need to worry.
| He was sent To the mountains at La.
mure, in the French Alps, happy in
| the knowledge that his family was be
| ing cared for by these amazingly kind
/ Americans.
And now the army doctors words
ARE coming true. Wacltele's lung is
/ healing fast. and he Is dreaming OF
another printing shop and OF living
again some day with that little family
! There have been over 100000 new
cases OF tuberculosis In France sine,
/ the war started and 20 care for these
| cases and check the White Plaques
/ spread is merely one OF the big Jobs
the American Red Cross has set out L
accomplish.

WARNING
Order Repair Parts of Farm
ing Machinery Early, Delay
May Mean Serious Loss

Don't rely on eleventh hour repair service this
year. Overhaul machines and order repair parts
long time in advance of the you expect to use
the machines Freight and express shipments move
slowly now and because of increasing movements of
troops and Government supplies, they are likely to
move slower in the future
Everything possible is being done by manufacture
and the Government to assure the farmer of am
pie repair parts. Nevertheless, he should take steps
to avoid inevitable delays by planning ahead. If he
waits until the minute he needs them before ordering
may be impossible to get repair parts to him in
time.
Order repair parts even if you do not expect
TO use them for several months. That is the only way
to be and safe against the loss that al
most certain to suffer if you delay until the last
minute.

WASHINGTON, April 11-President Wilson has decided to reorganize the air craft production of the country
 The first step which, it is expected, the President vii take, will be to call a board of American aircraft experts and engineers, with whom the Presi- dent will consult and by whom he will be advised in laying out plans for the reorganization.
 It is understood that the President intends to so perfect the new produc- tion system, as to have very little if any friction, and that this can best be accomplished by the Government talk ing over and operating all plants, en- gagged in turning out air-crafts at the
