WELCOMING OUR SOLDIERS IN
FRANCE
(Robert NJ. Mcbride in Leslies)

(Robert NJ Mcbride in Lesie's)
For a while the Americans were a
great novelty despite the fact that
there had been four years of war and
millions of English and other foreign
soldiers had arrived and were billeted
about the country. The reason was
that the English soldiers arrived from
northern ports and went straight to
the front. At later date we enter
ed the war and were obliged to estab-
fish lines of communication from the
coast across France to the fighting
lines Thus in large section of the
country, our soldiers were a novelty.
But they were soon made to feel at
home.
Today is you are in the army you
may send telegram along the line in
English handing it to an American
operator. You may nick up the re-
ceiver and hear the cheerful:
Hello. Number, pleez?"
Good Tor bad. as your viewpoint
may be- Anglo-Saxon cuss words may
be heard all along the lines among
workmen trying to command mule
teams or do the thousand an done 9TH
err jobs that we somehow feel cannot
be properly expedited without profan-
ity
American aXmen are Telling French
trees, American yardmasters are
bossing French railroad yards. Amer
lean engineers are building American
docks and railroads and buildings on
French soil. And everywhere the
American is hero. There's hardly a
child from the Atlantic to the firing
line that will not greet with as incere
smile, and a handshake if there be
opportunity, every American in SER
vice that he or she may see. And al
ways, whether our men are coming or
going, it is the same cheerful greet
ing:
"Good-bye!"
That is the one word in English
they know and is their universal
greeting.
That is the way the French are
meeting our invasion, making our
boys feel at home and helping us in
every way in the biggest undertaking
in history-the establishment of war
base and of open, always efficient, al
ways well-supplied lines of commune
cation from the Atlantic to Alsace.
1t is difficult for the average person
to understand that a hundred times
more work must be done back of the
lines than on the firing line in order
to maintain a great army. To many
it seems that troop of soldiers go
over have their guns, some ammuni-
ton and field kitchens behind them
and they are quite ready to get into
the fighting and stay in 1t.
From the moment we entered the
war we began to plan for an immense
army, a Hun-beating army for day"
of our own when a drive would come
that would head directly for Berlin
and keep heading there until it ar
rived.
Give us one week to every year
that Germany has been preparing for
Der Tag and Wen put up an equip
ment that will make the German
preparations look like an amateur
stunt" a grizZled old Colonel told me
at the very beginning,

TURKEY PRICES TO SOAR SKY

public by market experts here today.
The Government has contractA for

ranged to purchase most of the fresh

upon turkey for Thanksgiving will be
compelled to take their chances in
a scanty market and the prices, it is
predicted, will soar sky high

FOR COLDS AND GRIPPE
DOCTORS FIND REMEDY,

Physicians and druggists are eiat-
ed over the fact that they have at
last found a genuine and dependable
remedy for colds, sore throat, m1lu-
enza and la grippe. For years they
have depended chiefly upon the OLD
style calomel, which is certainly hne.
hut unfortunately many people
would not take it because OF It's naus-
eating and dangerous qualities.
Now that the pharmaceutical chem-
lists have perfected a n~ausealess cal
onel. called "Calotabs" whose me-
dicinal virtues are vastly improved,
the doctors and druggists are claiming
that Calotabs are the ideal remedy to
abort a cold over night and cut snort
an attack of sore throat or Ia
grippe. They are also hndlng II
most effective as the first step IN the
treatment of pneumonia.
One Calotab on the tongue at PED
time with a swallow of water
that's all. No salts, no nausea MOI

eating or your work and pleasure
The nexa morning your cold has van
ished and your whole system is puri
fed and refreshed. Calotabs are
sold only in original sealed packages

gist recommends and guarantees
them by refunding the price II you
are not delighted.-adv.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.

The following is the report of the
committee named by Grenada Lodge
No. 81, A. F. & NJ, as expressive OF
the Loge's sentiment regarding
James L. Trimble, deceased:
In his intercourse with his rlends
the life of Jim Trimble radiated like
into a scintillating gem of purest
a in a blazing sunlight. With a
smile on his joyous face, a pleasant
and a mirthful word, in his natural
happy way, he always greeted n
and all. So marked was this distinc-
ton of manner, he made friends, fast
and true. Of all who knew him well.
He always cheerfully responded
to the apparent necessities of his fell
bowman and too without appeal save
the intuitive promptings OF his gen
erous heart.
In 1917 he responded to the call OF
his country and voluntarily enlisted
as Naval Reserve at New Orleans.
Ascribing these attributes to our
departed brother sand in the knowl-
edge that he was a true, loyal and
devoted member of this Lodge OF
Free Masons. we ask this as testl-
monial to his exemplary life be
spread upon the minutes of this
Lodge.
TO James L. Trimble, who died at
the Baptist Memorial Hospital, Msm'
phis. Tenn, October Goth, 1918. HIS
life was the embodiment of compass
sion. love and tenderness. Peace tt
his ashes.
