His tracer bullets were Oassing throughout the enemy plane. l climbed little higher and was diving down on this second German and about to fire, when 1 saw the German plane go up in flames and crash to earth. Doug had sent his Ger man plane down one minute after 1 had shot down mine.
 Mind you. the fight took place only 300 meters up, in full view of all on the ground and in the nearby town; and it took place directly above our aviation-feld. Furthermore. mine d. opt about one numbered yards to the right and Doug's one hundred yards to the left of our field. These are remarkable facts. for one of majors, who, with the French Army since 1915, has shot down seventeen machine, never had one land in France and here we go right off the bat and stage a fight over our airdrome and bring down two Germans right on it It was an opportunity of a life time "a great chance.
 When we landed. only our re. spective mechanics were left in the drome. The whole camp was pouring out, flying by on foot, bicycles, side-cars, automo- piles; soldiers, women, children, majors, colonels. French and American all poured out of the city. In ten minutes several thousand people must have gath cred. Doug and 1 congratulated each other. and my mechanic no longer military, jumped up and down, waving his hat, pounding me on the back inst cad of saluting. and yelled:
 Damn it! That's the stuff, old kid."
 Then Campbell and 1 rushed to our respective German wrecks.

Needless to say, I felt rather naughty to come face to face with my victim. now a prisoner. but did not know what to say. It seems he would not believe that an Amarican officer had brought him down. He looked me all over, and then ask ed me in good French if l was an American. When l answered yes. he had no more to say.
 There was huge crowd around the wrecked plane. and the first man l ran into was our Major-the commanding officer and he was the happiest man in the world outside of myself and Doug A French and an American General blew up in a limousine to congratulate us colonels. major all the pilots, all the French officers. mechanics everybody in the town and camp.

United States troops in France have
lost no time in demonstrating to the
world that they are first class fighting
men and little more than a match
for the Boches. In spite OF the fact
that the Kaiser impressed upon the
German people that what troops the
u. S. could send to the front would
be unframed youths who could not
withstand the "valor" of the trained
German veterans, it was thought ad-
visable to send against them the flow
er of the German army; men trained
for shock" attacks and fresh troops
from the eastern front. What the
"Sammies" did to them has been told.
Our losses were heavy but the Ger
man losses were greater and their ef-
forts to break the American line were
q complete failure.
The first shocks of combat with
United States troops have not been
of nature to increase in the German
people a confidence in their rulers or
add to their own self confidence.

The announcement that party lead

are urging the candidacy of General
Fl. c. Clark for the Democratic
gubernatorial nomination, comes as
no surprise to those who are familiar
with his career, professionally and
politically
Recognized among the foremost OF
his profession, an executive of proven
ability and a life long Democrat,
whose record OF Democracy requires
no establishment or reiteration, he
would make Missouri an ideal Chief
Executive.
Had General Clark been permitted
the dearest wish OF his life, that OF
leading in the defense of his country
honor the Missouri troops, whose
very existence is due to his wonder
full executive ability and his years OF
self sacrificing labor. civil honors,
even OF the highest, would have had
no charms for him. But now that the
government has decreed that his ply
steal condition would not permit him
to withstand the rigors OF campaign
across the seas, Missouri should draft
his services and at the same time,
honor native son, worthy in every
way of the greatest gift in the power
of the commonwealth.

producers as the laying breeds, and
not as meaty and as easy to fatten
as the meat breeds, yet combine in
one individual fowl very good laying
capacity with very good table quality.
The Leghorn, Minorca, Andalusian,
Ancona and Campine are well-known
breeds of the laying class the Brahma,
Dorking and Cornish of the meat
class; the Plymouth Rock, Wyandotte,
Rhode Island Red and Orpington Of
the general-purpose class.
The breeds mentioned as of the lay.
Ing class, with the exception of the
Minorca, are relatively small, very
energetic and lively, mature early, and
are easily kept in good laying condi-
ton. The Minorca is of larger size
and modified somewhat in the other
particulars mentioned, yet has more
the character of the laying class than
of any other.
In the meat breeds, there is not the
same uniformity Of type that is found
In the laying breeds. The three men,
toned differ decidedly. The Brahma
Is most popular because it is at the
same time the largest and the most
rugged in constitution. The Dorking
excels in quality of meat, but is gen.
orally considered somewhat lacking in
hardness. The Cornish is rather
hard-meated, but, being very short
feathered, has its special place as a
large meat-producing fowl in Souther-
ly sections where the more heavily
feathered Brahma does not stand the
summer well.
Among the popular breeds Of the
general-purpose class there are also
differences in type, adapting breeds to
different uses. The Plymouth Rock
Is generally regarded as the type meet.
Ing the widest range of requirements
in the general-purpose class.
The Wyandotte is little smaller
and earlier maturing, but still very
well meated and easy to fatten.
The Rhode Island Red has nearly
the same standards of weight as the
Wyandotte, but is more active bird,
not putting on fat so readily. Conse-
quently it approaches the laying type
and Is popular with those who want
eggs and meat but want eggs most.
The Orpington is at the other ex.
IRENE in the general-purpose class be-
Ing a heavier, meatier fowl than the
Plymouth Rock.
Such list Of breeds affords so wide
a range Of choice that poultry keep
ers can always select standard breed
better adapted to their locality and
their purpose than any nonstandard
stock they can procure and having
the further advantage of producing
true to type.
