Men and Boys First!

The farmers will need human help
to handle and harvest the vast acre
ages needed to produce enough bread
for the nation and the allies. This
work calls for Drawn. muscle, physical
endurance. Time to think OF women
at heavy work in the fields when there
are no American men and boys to be
spared from store, Office or factory.
No business save fighting and pro-
vidng the things fighters must have to
win battles is more important than pro-
ducing enough food. Give your atten-
ton to food production on some farm.

the drum major who leads the process

stick into the atr, they lift up their lit

spring has come.
Next follow the hyacinths, the
tulips, daffodils. narcissus flowers gar

They all are about in the same part Of
the parade. And when they come we
appear too, as well as the Towering al
mond shrubs and many others.
But the pansies, little daisies and
garden violets blossom all through the
season, so they're like the small boys
who run along by the side Of the pa
rade-almost anywhere, at any time.
And after we go the flowers will
still keep on parading. The lilies-of-
the-valley are marching now, and soon
the dear forget-menots with their
blue, blue eyes will come.
'"The rockets, peonies, honeysuckles
and roses all will follow along, making
a very handsome part Of the parade.
And later on the phlox, larkspur SO
blue, and foxglOve will follow.
These are the flowers that come up
year after year and they are the ones
which belong to the great Flower Pa

summer and early autumn to see the

In its issue of July s, 1918, the Red
Cross Bulletin. issued at Washington,
has the following account of the hero
ism Of Red Cross nurses under fire
Private A. G. Mcleod, the first
American soldier to be wounded in
France, was hurt when the Germans
bombed a Red Cross hospital. He owes
his life, he believes, to the Red Cross
nurse who stuck by him in the shat
tered ward, and saw that he had
prompt surgical attention Two of the
nurses were wounded by the same
bomb that hurt Mr.. Mcleod, but the
rest of the women, it was stated, were
as cool as the men. Here is his own
story In which it will be noticed the
Red Cross nurse is given the principal
place:
"'Our hospital, a British-American
one in Flanders. was bombed the night
of September 4, last. was working in
this hospital, at which had been as
signed to the transportation section.
The patients who could do so went to
the bOmb-proof cellar when the air raid
opened, but there were number Of
soldiers so badly wounded that they
could not be moved A number of
nurses stayed with the soldiers, and /
remained to help.
Suddenly, bomb made direct hit
and exploded nearby. 1t pretty nearly
cleaned out the hospital My legs were
smashed TO pulp and l was raving
with pain. / won't describe the scene
about me, for that would be too hOr-
rlble. A nurse stayed by my side. She
stuck to me and saw that had prompt
attention, and probably owe my life
to the immediate amputation which
was ordered. The bombing of this hos
ipital cost one nurse an eye, and an
other a foot. The rest of the nurses
were as cool as the men. I can't say
too much for the work of the Ameri-
can Red Cross in France"
