or Third Street NJ. L. Church VIII BE
Here Sunday, June 2.

Maysville and the Third Street M.
q. Church is to be honored a week
from next Sunday, June 2, with a visit
of a former pastor of over half CEN
fury ago Recently Rev. S. X. Hunt
received letter from Rev. ]. r. Rea-
soner of Urbana, ILL.,, telling him of
his pastorate at the Third Street
street in 1853 and stating that he in
tended to make visit East about
Decoration Day and would be glad to
stop over and visit the old town and
church once more Rev. Hunt at once
replied, TWISTING him to preach at
the old church on Sunday of his visit
here. In accepting the invitation Rev.
Reasoner writes, 81 shall be glad to
have all of the old and new soldiers
present at our services"
=. and Mrs. Reasoner and their
,ghter will come by way of West
Union, Ohio, the place of his birth,
and where he expects to spend Deco
ration Day. They will arrive in Mays
vile on Saturday. He writes further
"As it will be too much of an imposi
ton to ask you to furnish entertain
ment for so much of a mob, will
you kindly find us boarding house or
hotel where We can stop over. If no
such provision can be made, we might
climb the hill, and "camp out" as
Ch,oyaey Phister and did one night
when "Pete" Everett's 400 guerillas
came to Maysville after my head; but
] am still wearing the same old head"
From Maysville they will proceed

glad to hear him.

RECRUIT BALKS AT THE JOB
Kaiser and Couldn't Take On
Whole Germany.

"Are you willing to go across and
fight the Germans?" asked an inter-
viewer in the mastering Office in for
negro at Camp Dix, whose personnel
record he was completing, the query
being one of the formal questions put
to every recruit.
"Ah don't know bout dat, boss 70
answered the colored boy. "Ah thought
yur jes' wanted me to go get the
kaiser. Bin a-hankerin' to fix that ole
Rat Face, but does yuh mean yuh
want me to lick da whole gang?"
The interviewer explained the situa-
ton. The young negro's home board
had told him they were going tossend
him to Europe to "get the kaiser" and
he came to camp thinking it was
single-handed job. His face frightened
when he found that in his personal
part he would have the backing Of
several million allies.
The personnel QUESTIONABLE made
out in the mastering Office brings some
amazing answers from the southern
negroes recently brought there for
training. One couldn't remember where
his father was born.
"Well, was he born in the United
States?" asked the interviewer. "No,
indeed, sub, no indeedyw replied the
recruit. HE was born In Virginny!"
The same recruit wanted to show
that he could qualify under every ques-
ton. "Are you a member of any lodge
or fraternity?" was query put to
him. "Good Lawd, boss, / should say
I was! Use pallbearer."
New uniforms are being issued to
these Florida recruits and they are
the proudest soldiers in the camp.
They have taken to the military game
like ducks to water, and officers are
amazed at the cleverness they are
showing in learning drill orders in ele-
mentary army work.

TO DRIVE AWAY MOSQUITOES
aration He Claims Is Effective
Against Pests.

Campers and tourists who are
harassed by mosquitoes can find relief
by use Of repellants, points out George
A. Dean, professor Of entomology, Kan
sas State Agricultural college.
Where time and circumstances will
not permit of sanitary means of con-
troll. an effective repellant can be made
by the use of one ounce Of cedar oil,
two ounces of citronella and two
ounces of spirits Of camphor.
A small amount Of this solution APP
piled to the face and hands or on a
handkerchief tied around the neck
will keep the mosquitoes away. Equal
~ good results may be obtained If the
liquid is applied to cloth and hung
near the face when mosquitoes are
troublesome at night.

Concerning the sneeze.

Sneezing was considered unlucky In
Wales, but in Europe generally 1t was
deemed lucky, unless overdone. If q
man sneezed more than three times IL
was a sign of bad luck. The Welsh
belief In i'll luck has prevailed and it
Is a very general custom among Ital-
ians when person sneezes to say,
"God be with you"
It is curious that among the older
generation of East Prussians and Poles
French word is used when anyone
sneezes. It is "assez" (enough), mean
ing that continuation Of the par
oxysm would be sign Of catching
cold.

ENJOY CHOW
Pershing's Husky Men Are All
Good Eaters.
Variety In Uncle Sans Menu Makes
1t Attraetive-Doughboys Grow -
/ Talkative.

With the American Army in France.
Chow time" means one of the most
picturesque sights along the front, es-
pecially with the Americans. It seems
to mean more to the Americans than
to any other army, perhaps because
American GRUB" is better.
Happen along through a ruined viii
lage or woods in an American sector
fifteen minutes before "chow time" and
you would think the place deserted.
Probably there wouldn't be more than
one or two stray doughboys in sight.
Come along fifteen minutes later and
you wonder "where in thunder they all
came FROM" -
They'll be lined up, and in front of
each line there1l be a field kitchen
steaming away, with a perspiring army
cook dishing out grub that makes you
want to "grab some tools and get in
line" too.
There's lots Of animation at "chow
time" among the Americans. A crowd
of Frenchmen is quiet while eating,
the only time French soldiers are
quiet. They MUNICH their bread and
meat and vegetables and drink their
wine in silence.
Not so with the Americans. It's
big time. First of all, there's specula-
ton on whats the chow for today"
There's variety In Uncle Sans army
menus. Il.
Then, as they sit around on the
ground, on ruins, or under trees, and
that satisfied feeling of having eaten
a good meal grows upon them, there's
lots of life and joking among the
doughboys.
'fDoughboy chow" is good. Usually
there is soup. Then there are meat
and vegetables, usually two kinds.
There are always big slices Of white
bread and coffee. Nine times out Of
ten there's dessert, probably pudding
or fruit.
Each man has pan with handle
that folds into 1t, and cup. Some
way they get some Of everything in q
four-course meal into these two instru-
ments and never mix foods. Only one
Of these "war experts" could do that.

planted years ago and he has seen
them grow into great shade trees,
The other monument is a library OF

ting together TO be presented to the
Masonic Orphans Home at his
death. He is II years old.
Lowery's career has been q

pERsHING DOES SOME "vERBorENING"

NNE is inclined to congratulate John j. Persh'ng
" formerly OF an insignificant Missouri village
and one-time rural schoolmaster in the Show
Me State upon his inestimable privilege OF telling
herd OF Huns "where to head in Allusion is made
General Pershngs general orders to the people OF

soldiers under the OF the armistce in the proca-
nation published in The Ardmoreitc yesterday.

you mustn't do it's the ubiquitous sign in that
land OF the seri and home OF the knave In this coun-
try we objected strenuouSy to the Keep OFF the
Grass signs in our public parks that nowadays one
may travel wide and far before finding such an OBJ
noxious "verboten' The American people wouldn't

he was known in the Ozark wilds where he taught
school had list OF official verbotens for the guidance
OF his pupils. For instance the big boys must not

Now Professor Pershing is schoolmaster to much

what they must not do The Germans OF course, will
obey, since they have been taught obedience from the

that Professor Pershng must take keen delight IN
