MOTHER THANKS WOMEN

How can send my thanks, deep, sincere, heartfelt thanks, to a woman in -, who on the morning of - 29th. stood in the cold and gave my boy a cup of coffee and some sandwiches as the = Engineers marched from a troop train to their transport?
 'He writes me: We had reveiIle at 12:S0 a. m. and left camp at S:30 En- trained at o'clock and were on our transport at S:3O. At the transport dock, about six Red Cross ladies met us with hot coffee and big baskets of sandwiches. Tasted pretty good after our train ride and march through the cold"
 Oh. thank you, thank you, dear Red Cross lady and as I write this think of all the other women who, too, thank you and those like you. Perhaps you have been too busy to think of anything but the boys themselves and the comfort you might give them, but you have re- freshed many a lonely, anxious heart at home besides cheering on their way those dear boys, many of whom left American soil that morning never to return.
 "Whoever you are, shall remember you always and pray God to return to you in some way the comfort your kind ness has given to me-"

 so can do my house work without any difficulty. I advise any woman who is afflicted with female troubles to give Lydia E.. Pinkham'S Vegetable Com pound triel and it will do as much for them. - Mrs. MARIE BOYD, 1421 9th St., N. T., Canton, Ohio.
 Sometimes there are serious condi- tions where hospital operation is the only alternative, but on the other hand so many women have been cured by this famous root and herb remedy, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, after doctors have said that an operation was necessary m every woman who wants to avoid an operation should give it fair trial before submitting to such a trying ordeal.
 If complications exist, write to Lydia B. Pinkham Medicine Co.,, Lynn, Mass, for advice. The result of many years experience is at your service.

knew the Germans had broken our line, orders came to some of our villages 1 to evacuate at once, and two of us started out in car to carry refugees | from one village to another farther from the line. Never can I forget the l sight. Old women with all their house. hold belongings on wheeIbarrows trudg- ing along the road, little children | dragged along by terrified mothers Everyone with their live stock. dogs. cats, rabbits and chickens, driving their cows and goats before them, all rushing away from this flood of destruction pouring down on them. Shells were bursting all around and air battles con stant.
 When morning came the Boches were only five miles away and we were warned to move at once, but somehow we couldn't run with all our own vil- lages needing us as never before St all day long we evacuated villages, not leaving until all civilians were out. 1t was sickening sight. Everyotfe left their homes just as they were, breakfast dishes on table, spades in the gardens, even their personal clothing still on hooks on the wall. The roads were choked, part of the army in retreat, reinforcemerts coming up, refugees everywhere. We rode up between the heavy English artillery and the Ger mans, so that the English shells were whizzing over our heads all the time
 We got back to camp about 10 that night to find it filled with 200 English soldiers and officers and "a great anti aircraft cannon just outside the door. When that went off we were deafened
 But we saw it bring down a Boche plane. All night long we ran a can teen for the English soldiers, but at five the major warned us that, they were near enough for a cavalry charge, and we left at five in the pitchy blackness With what few possessions we could save in duffle bag. It was a strange wild ride. We went about 12 miles, left our things and then travelled back and forth all day bringing in refugees.

who is calling for a draft Of
1899 men.
There now remains in Lee
county about 285 class one
men. Twenty eight men will go
from the county to Camp
Dodge next Tuesday, June Is.
It will probably be necessary
for the county to draw upon
newly classified men to meet
its quota if there are not
enough in the old class one
lists.
Out of the nearly $4,000
men who will be ordered up
by the local boards of the state,
$500 will go to Camp Gordon,
Atlanta, Ca, and the remain
der to Camp Pike, Little Rock,
Ark. This call is for white men
only, practically all the ne
groes in class one having al
ready been called to report.
Logan said this call would
practically clear out the pres
ent class one selectives, but
would not include the youths
who registered June 5, or the
men re-classified into the first
class from deferred lists.
