"DON'T USE YOUR HEAD-USE
NINE. SAYS THE KAISER
(By John NJ. Siddall Editor of the
American Magazine.)

Ivan s. Rossiter, Canadian SOL
der, has just been in to see me. For
a year he was a German prisoner.
When the Germans caught him he
was badly wounded in the right hand.
They took him to hospital where,
without the use of an anesthetic, they
cut off one of his fingers and removed
five pieces of bone from his mangled
wrist. They said that they had no
anesthetics to spare for use on
"schweinhund," and added that they
were saving their anesthetics for their
own wounded soldiers. Rossiter
showed me what is left of his hand.
1t isn't much, and what is left is OF
no use, except as a reminder OF that
German surgeon who operated with
out giving an anesthetic.
While Rossiter was in Germany he
was moved about from one prison
camp to another until he and other
prisoners were exchanged for German
prisoners held by Allies. This moving
about process was the most interest
ing thing he described. He was
never allowed to stay in one place
more than a few weeks. In the year
that he was there he was in nine diff
ferent prison camps, located in vari-
Gus parts of Germany. On each trip
the train that was transferring these
wandering prisoners stopped at every
station. German officers got out ev-
cry time the train stopped and told
people that the prisoners were all new
ones-just taken Rossiter says that
one excursion of this kind began at
o'clock in the morning and lasted
until late at night. And always at
every station a crowd of people &C
jeer at these new" prisoners, many
of whom were French and Belgians
who had been in captivity for two
years. 1t got to be like theatrical
troup playing one-night stands only
far more boresome, for the prisoners
were never allowed to leave the train.
or to communicate with the crowd.
that came to see them. Rossiter say
that one company of British artiller,

in the guise of new" prisoners. The,

PLENTY OF PENS
PAPER AND INK
~ M. C. A. Places an Order FOR an
Immense Supply of Stationery

Immense Supply of Stationery
Atlanta. Ca, June 12-From the
bows in khaki to the folks back nome
more letters will be written In the
future than in the past for the south
eastern department of the army ana
navy Y. M. c. A., has just placed
what is probably the largest single
order for stationery that has ever
been awarded by any organization
This order amounted to two hundred
million of the now famous with the
eolors" letterheads and one hundred
million envelopes and this supply will
soon begin rolling into the service
camps and environments OF this de-
partment.
A few days ago Henry King, head
Of the purchasing department award
ed by competitive bidding this NAM
moth stationary order and it is hoped
that this will soon begin to reach the
camps. He also placed large order
for ink at the same time.
At first glance this order may not
appear so large, but when it is figured
out that this supply will enable every
man. woman, boy and girl in Ameri-
ca to receive two letters from SOL
der boy and also make it possible
for the soldiers to write an extra let
ter to sweetheart or mother, then the
enormity Of the order is apparent
These letters would be two pages in
length and if the boys will follow the
request of the Y. M. c. A. printed on
the bottom of stationery they could
| write four pages instead Of two. This
, request reads ITO the writer: Save
by writing on both sides of this pa
per To the Folks at Home: Save
I. food, buy Liberty Bonds and War
: Savings Stamps" Both of these re-
!, quests would help the government
and should be followed
. This order when loaded into cars
ready for shipment will make seven

this will not be done but the supply

Daily we hear of men who have
gone the way we all must traverse,
and, for the most part, we hardly
pause long enough in the tasks which
absorb us to give perfunctory ex-
preston Of regret. But now and then
one goes who will be genuinely
missed, Such an one was Paul Gard
ner. Seeking no position or notoriety,
he lived, "far from the madding
crowds ignoble strife" life of good
deeds and gentle kindness, whose
influence was benediction to many
He loved the beautiful things of ma
ture; the trees, the flowers, the birds
were his companions, and he knew
their names and spoke their language
Wise in worldly lore, and still more
in that subtle knowledge which ma.
ture imparts only to those who love
her best, yet was he simple as littlt
child, and little children always drew
! from him his best. Timid creatures O.
the wild crept confidingly up to hin
at his call, for they recognized in hin
friend. Flowers that refused t
thrive for others, blossomed under tn
caress of his hand. And, more thai
all this, he was humanity's friend
The way was never too long, nor tn
day too weary, for him when kindl
deed or a charitable act was to b
done. His friendship was no rec,
T. to break and pierce the hand the
leaned upon it-tut a stout sta
which yielded true support when tn
road was rough and the burden heav
He courted not contention; yet We
he ever ready to lift his Voice in d
Tense of friend, when another vii
heart less loyal would have chimed

strong; tender, and yet brave; Il
elements of life were so mixed in hi
as to produce a man whose examp
and inspiration is as a great rock

A PASTURE UNDER COVER

O.. A. c., Corvallis, August IA
silo is a pasture under cover, the
contents of which can be used at any
time of the year as profitable feed
for dairy cattle, beef cattle, horses,
mules, sheep, hogs, and chickens,
points out E. l.. Westover, dairy
husbandman and L. E. Robinson
assistant professor of rural architec-
ture at o. A. c., in Extension Bull
letin No. 297 just issued.
Some of the important points in
silo construction brought out are as
follows:
The foundation should be we'll con-
structed and should be made of con-
crete possessing the greatest possible
density, so as to prevent the silage
juice from seeping through into the
barnyard.
The top of the foundation should
be at least ten inches above the
ground line.
The walls of the silo should be
practically air-tight.
The inner surfaces of the walls
should be smooth and perpendicular.
The inner surfaces of the walls
should be free from corners: hence
round silos are more efficient and
economical than other type.
A good roof makes the silo more
durable, adds greatly to its appear
ance and assists materially in keep
ing the silage from drying out.

"The victory bread so made is
