foundation walls are broad and stout"
Jerry chuckled at the funny notion
of calling the foundations Of his house
roots. Then he swan over to use that
bulrush in the foundation of his house.
Remembering how his old house had
been swept away, Jerry spent great
deal of time and attention on the
foundations of his new house. The
bits of sod he had dug up and the mud
he had taken from his tunnels and cell
lar were good as far as they went, but
Jerry was too good-a builder not to
know that If he used nothing else his
foundations would be weak So he
brought roots and bits of sticks and
the stalks of PUSHES, and these he
worked into his foundation walls with
the mud and the bits of sod.
And he made these walls broad and
stout and went over and over them to
make sure that there were no weak
places in them. So gradually the walls
rose until when Jerry stood on them
only his feet were in the water. By
the end of another night he could sit
on them without 50 much as wetting
his feet. All the hard work under wa
ter was finished. There was still lot
Of hard work to be done. but it would
be pleasanter and therefore easier
than the work already done.

Now this railway runs in all its eastern part right under the difficult country of the Ardennes. and if you will look at the map you will see that the point where the belt defending it was narro~est was the sector of Ver- dun; that is, the two sides of the upper Mouse just north of that town 1t was here that the front ran dangerously close to the main lateral railway, and any considerable advance 4 along the two sides of the Mouse below Verdur threatened to put this vital railway under fire and therefore cut it.

 When on September 26 what the enemy long expected took place and the main battle was opened with powerful Amer iean attack in this vital sector north of Verdun and between the Argonne and the Mouse, the enemy met 1t by heavy con eentration It was a matter of life and death for him that the advance or the allies, whenever it took place, should not be here. He brought up against the American effort everything he could pos sibly spare, even to the extent of weak ening other sectors to the north, and as far as mere ground is concerned he has parried the blow for the moment.
 PAINFUL AND LABORIOUS

statement in New York, Saturday, by

clared, could be landed in France
under their own power, with enough
guns, bombs and aviators to defeat
the Germans within 80 to 60 days, if
we start now"
After announcing that he had &C
uuainted the War Department and

ton, Mr.. Workman said he believed
none of>the 10000 planes would be
lost in translantic flights and that

JUDGE STOUT Restraints NEW
BOARD OF HEALTH.

Judge Robert l.. Stout, of the
Franklin Circuit Court, entered a re-
straining order Saturday against the
new State Board of Health at the
instance of DR.. j. N. Mccormick,
secretary of the old board, and DR.. w.
Richmond and DR.. L. A. Sherley, of
the board.
The order restraints them from ex-
ercising any of the functions of a
State Board of. Health, organizing
any of it's bureaus and from taking
possession of the Office, books and &C
counts, or of claiming any of the
rights or title to the Office as members
of the board, or interfering in any
way with the old boards activities.
The petition before Judge Stout
names all the members Of the new
board, and denounces the section
creating the new board as afviolation
of the constitutional requirement
that the subject matter of all the Sec
lions of an act must be mentioned
in the title of the act and must be
related to it.

SCOPE OF SCOUT SERVICE.

Those manly youngsters, organized
as the Boy Scouts Of America, COM
mended themselves to the public from
the start, says a Southern editor. They
are called upon to render important
service on every large occasion, and
their willingness, discipline and eff
cheney have been remarked with COM
munity pride by observant citizens in
general.
The scope of scout service is all the
while widening. AS helpful to city,
state and nation as the organization
has been within the last six months in
Liberty loan, Red Cross and food con-
servatiOn campaigns, greater still Will
be its activities in this new year. Tho
scouts will be utilized by the federal
government in many ways.
The boys are always on their mettle
and they never tire Of duty. No trained
soldier could be more obedient to Or
ders and none should be more loyal to
his colors.
The wonder is how any city got
along as well as 1t did before the boy
scouts came into corporate being. And
the more the public sees Of them the
more sympathetic will be its support.
All honor TO the scouts and the scout
masters who instruct and lead them.
