Corner. They both have their own
private reasons.

TO 4 SQUIRREL


Oh lively, Oh you jumping jack,
It looks like you would break your
hack,
To jump afar from tree to tree,
And Oh, how charming it Is to see
You run UP and down a tree.
Your ear is like . mOuse's ear,
And you twist your tail to get into
gear.
And when you gather the nuts in
the fan
1t looks like somebody would steal
them all.
And when you get out on the tips
of the boughs,
II you'd fall l know 1t would cause
q row.
You have such q fluffy and curly
tail,
That it looks like you couldn't see
the rail.
And would miss it and fall.-Grace
Hinshaw, Age II Years.

Waiting for School to Dismiss

Ore morning as we were going u
school We had to pass . wood. We
saw some flowers. They were all
colors and all kinds.
Then we thought we would hurry
home that night and gather flowers
ON our way home from school.
When We got to school the teach
er told us that we should stay after
school because there was a man
that wanted to speak to us. She
told Us that We would get out at
5 o'clock.
He told about the war. And by
the time he got through talking it
was just half past five. So We
didn't get any flowers that night.

TRIBUTES PAID
TO DEAD HEROES
,uoressiye Memorial Services Held
in Honor of Hodges, Gillespie
and Keesler.

The memorial services held at the
FIRST Pre- byterjan Church last even
mo in honor Of Private John p
Hodges, Lieut.. James Gordon GILES,
ne and Lieut.. Samuel Reeves Keesler
wbo made the supreme sacrifice fol
tboir country, were attended by q
large congregation of Greenwood cit.
izenS.
These splendid young soldier-pa,
trots were members of the First
Presbyterian church of this city, they
we're each reared here, their friends
were numbered by all who knew them,
tbev had volunteered their services
IN the great world war, were doing
their full duty as becomes liberty
living Americans, and gave their
pTecious lives in defense of the cause
Of their native land, as well as that
of their allied comrades-in-ar arms
hence it was but simple justice to
their memory that this beautiful
memorial service should be held in
their honor and be attended by so
many somowing friends.
The exercises were opened with
scripture reading by DR.. L. W, Rose,
Of the Episcopal church, followed
with prayer by DR., Joseph Rennie,
and music by the splendid choir.
Dr. Rennie preceded his memorial
address with the reading of appro-
pirate biographical sketches of each
Of the gallant young heroes, inter
spersing words of praise here and
there.
At the conclusion of reading these
sketches, Dr. Rennie proceeded to de-
liver one Of the most patriotic ad-
dresses ever heard in Greenwood. He
dVelt ably and with fervor upon the
cause for which these brave boys
fought and died, and paid tribute also
TO those who have survived the great
conflict which tried the mettle and
genuine patriotism Of the men who
did their whole part in accomplishing
such wonderful and complete vic
tory for right and justice.
The exercises were concluded with
beautiful benediction by Rev. H.
Ely. Carson, pastor of the Fifth Aven-
ue Presbyterian Church, of Knoxville,
Tenn.
The church was tastily decorated
with lovely lilies, pot-plant flowers
and neat American flags, making a
very pretty picture of the spacious
rOstrum.
The songs by the choir were rem
dered in an impressive and faultless
manner, Mrs. R. P. Parish presiding
AZ the pipe organ. The duet by Rev.
and Mrs. H. V. Carson, and the solo
oy Mrs, Carson, were especially
appreciated by the vast congregation.

JAPAN FAILED IN

They We're Surprised In The Wo,.
derful Transformation OF This
Country During The War.
Associated Press

TOXIC, Dec. 30-The rapldf-.
with which the United States nrr-
pared for war and the magnitude and
success of her military operations
continue to draw expressions Of adj
mlration from Japanese. Generally
speaking, the public in Japan regard
ed the United States as 4 raac,-Ioy-
ing nation, which having no bent for
war; could never do much in tla baIi-
ing up of a great army
The wonderful transformation of
America in the war is the subject Of
many article by prominent pubHcists
Thus" DR.. Shigeo Suyehiro, profes-
sor of Kyoto University, writes:
There is no Disgusting the fact
that prior to the war the Japanese
did not believe in the military
strength of America, but the present
titantic struggle has demonstrated
beyond all doubt the error of the Ja-
panese estimate. The United States
has become a great military power
at a bound and her navy is only seq
ond to that of Great Britain TIL.
financial resources of America are
something tremendous, 1t is stated
that America would be able to keep
the war going for a quarter Of
century at the rate of expenditure .
which she spent for the first year.
Nor is that all.
"The Americans are as great spir-
itually as their country is almost linz
itless in her resources. Just imagine
that the AmeriCans-wh0m some Jan /
anese consider as slavish worshippers 4
of Mountaineering for their coun-
try at an allowance Of 81 a year; |
they endured the hardship Of meat |
less and wheatIess days in order to
obtain a supply of surplus provisions
available for the Allies; and no dis
senting voice was raised against the
proposed restriction of the manufact-
ure of liquor.
"The material and spiritual sacri-
fees made by the Americans in the
cause of the war as evidenced in
these and other things are really Won
ierful, showing as they do the great
ness of America and her people"
Dr. Suyehiro thought that it would
be the height of absurdity for Japan
to pick quarrel with such a great
country without a sufficient casus
belli. Japan should stand for an open
door policy in the Far East, but in re-
turn she should receive similar treat
ment in Indio-China, Canada, Aus
,ralia and New leland. He said that
America had been excluding Japanese
migrants but he thought it very
doubtful whether she was sufficiently
justified in so doing Japan, he said,
should strive to have the United
States correct her attitude not by
brute but by appealing to her sense
of Justice and humanity, and this he

Huns Can't Bury Their Dead.

Germany's losses in her last two Of
fensives in the region Of scissors have
been so tremendous that the army has
been unable TO bury the dead.
a neutral newspaper man visited
Scissors just before the start OF the
July offensive as a guest Of the German
General STAFF. What he was allowed
10 witness, he said, was more terrible
than anything he had seen in the war,
though be has visited all the fronts In
Europe
Whole regiments OF Hun soldiers had
been wiped out and lay unburied, he
said. Masses OF corpses had been
bundled together pell-mell. tied with
wire, and covered with lime, ready TO bo
burned.
zone German Officer said 10 me:
How can VIC bury them? We should
need TO immobilize thousands OF men TO
do it, and We cannot spare them,'" said
the correspondent.
The wounded were almost as numer-
Gus as the dead. They taxed tEe ca
pacity Of the base hospitals, so ihs;
wounded men lay on the ground await
inc their turn 10 be treated.
The German oncers, he said, had
changed their minds about the value OF
the Hindenburg "break-through-a at-all-
costs" strategy. The sight OF so many
dead Germans may have had something
TO do with their change OF attitude.

Thireen Sons and II Girls in War.

Thirteen OF the eighteen sons OF John
Ward Of GoIdsboro, North Carolina, are
in the United States army and his sew
enteen daughters are busy with war
work. The facts are vouched for by
Sheriff r. H. Edwards OF Wayne coun-
ty, North Carolina, OF which Gold,boro
is the county seat. Ward also proba-
bly, holds the record for quadruplets,
says Sheriff Edwards, who gives the
record thus:
Ward was born April Il, 1886, at
Goldsboro. He married three times and
his third wife is now living. His hrst
wife was the mother OF Is children,
four at one time twice, three at one
time twice, one at a time once. His
second wife bore him two at one time
twice, three at one time once and FIVE
one at a time His present wife is the
mother Of eight. The number OF boys
is: BY FIRST wife, eight; by second wife,
FIVE, and by his third wife, five. Or
those now in the service seven are BY
the first wife, FIVE by the second and o-e
by the third.
