1t helped me wonderfully. I used it
often afterwards that some Of my
mates dubbed me, IF you're going 70
get it, you'll get it,"
After an hours hard work, all my
nervousness left me, and I was laugh.
ing and joking with the rest.
At n o'clock, dinner came up in
the form of a dixie of hot stew.
I looked for my canteen. It had
fallen of the fire step, and was half
buried in the mud. The man on my
left noticed this, and told the corporal,
dishing out the %rations, to put my
share In his mess tin. Then he whis-
pered to me, always take care Of your
mess tin, mate"
I had learned another maxim Of the
trenches.
That stew tasted fine. I was as
hungry as a bear. We had seconds"
or another helping, because three Of
the men had "gone West" killed by
the explosion of the German trench
mortar, and we ate their share, but
still 1 vas hungry, so I filed In with
bully beef and biscuits. Then 1 drained
my water bottle. Later on 1 learned
another maxim of the front line, "GO
sparingly with your water" The bully
beef made me thirsty, and by tea time
/ was dying for a drink, but my pride
would not allow me to ask my mates
for water. 1 was fast learning the
ethics of the trenches.
That night l was put on guard with
an older man. We stood on the fire
step with our hands over the top, peer
ing out into No Mans Land. 1t was
nervous work for me, but the other fel-
low seemed to take It as part Of the
nights routine.
Then something shot past my face
My heart stopped beating, and I duckeC
my head below the parapet. A soft
chuckle from my mate brought me t.
my senses, and 1 feebly asked, "FOl
heavens sake, what was that?"
He answered. "Only a rat taking {
promenade along the ~sandbags."

About every twenty minutes the sen
try in the next traverse would fire
star shell from his flare pistol. TIL
"plop' would give me a start Of fright
I never got used to this noise durinI
my service in the trenches.
I would watch the arc described b.
the star shell, and then stare into N.
Mans Land waiting for 1t to burst. Il
its lurid light the barbed wire an
stakes would be silhouetted against it
light like a latticed window. The
darkness.
Once, out in front Of our wire,
heard a noise and saw dark form
moving. My rifle was lying across tn
sandbagged parapet. 1 reached for 1
and was taking aim to fire, when m
mate grasped my arm, and Whispers
Don't fire" He challenged in a To-
voice. The reply came back instant
from the dark forms:
"Shut your blinkin' mouth, 20
bloomin' idiot do you want us to ellie

Later we learned that the word, IN
challenging or firing, wiring party OF

on our right, but he had failed to pa

Stretcher bearers carry flags for
wounded TOmmies. When a stretcher
bearer arrives alongside Of a Tommy
who has been hit the following CONVEX
sation usually takes place: Stretcher
bearer-"Want a flag? Where are you

"Yes. In the leg"
After dismissal from parade, we re-
turned to our billets and 1 had to get
busy Immediately with the dinner as

from fresh beef, a couple Of spuds,
bully beef, MacOnochie ratiOns and wa

competition among the men to spear
with their forks the two lonely pota-
toes.

Use of Bran and Shorts in Lieu
of Wheat Flour.

VI W IN NA n 10
Bran and shorts are being
widely used throughout the
country in lieu of white wheat
flour. Shorts, particularly may
be used practically the same
as flour without any other flour
ingredient. and the resulting
breads are excellent. At most
not to exceed Is to 20 per cent
wheat flour is needed with
either bran or shorts to pro-
duce most excellent breads.
Some make splendid bread
from shorts alone.
Neither bran o shorts can
at present be purchased as a
part of the requisite wheat
substitutes to be taken with a
wheat flour purchase, but they
can be purchased separately
and no substitutes need be pur-
; chased with either of them.
; The use of bran and shorts gen.
: orally instead of wheat flour
will entirely do away with the
burden of paying high prices for
wheat substitutes. The food
; administration earnestly urges
+ everyone to give them a trial.

What Patriotism is This?
Germany must be destroyed.
&

A few evenings ago | was dis
cussing the splendid record that
Morgan county had made in the
recent Liberty Loan with one of
the workers in that campaign,
and was rather jubilant over the
fact that Morgan had oversub-
scribed her quota to the extent
of SIG, 10000. But my friend
was not so jubilant. Men who
could have taken bonds" he said,
refused to do so because the in
vestment was not as profitable as
some others. One man, who
has a son in the service and who
had money to invest, told me
that as an investment the bonds
did not appeal to him, as he
make his money earn more than
Az per cent"
Think of that, good citizens!
Imagine, if you can, the utter
selfshness of the man who can
withhold money that he could
spare from his country in time
like this, because he could make
more money with it otherwise.
This rather chilled the enthusi-
asm ! had worked up within my
self, and / felt depressed; but,
surely" said, this man has
invested in War Saving Stamps,
and has given literally to the Y.
M. G. A. and the Red Cross. |
can hardly believe we have a man
in Morgan county who has not
done something toward winning
the war, especially one who is
able to do so much" NO." my
friend replied, "he has done none
of these things. He is devoted to
money-making for himself solely
and has done nothing to help his
country"

Here's a Cheap Lice Oil.

One of the best head lice oint-
ments for the little chicks can be
made at a very small expense by
buying a 5-cent bottle of vase
line and get the druggist to add
to it about 10 drops of oil of cit
ronella. Apply a small portion
of the ointment to the head of
chick and rub it into the soft
down thoroughly. Mix the oil
and yaseline thoroughly before
applying. The writer has used
this remedy foi a number of
y lars, and finds it very useful
and beneficial, especially at this
