SAW POINT or RESEMBLANCE
Youngsters Comment, However, Could
Hardly BE Called a Compll-
mentary One.

A fond auntie was left to amtise her
small niece and nephew while their
mother went shopping. James became
deeply interested In his toy engine and
tiny Ruth was absorbed In watching
auntie cut out beautiful paper dolls.
One of these appealed to her particu-
larry and she would scarcely walt for
auntie to finish.
"oh, auntle, isn't she Pretty2 She's
blue"
"Yes, she Is lovely. And see what
a fancy dress she has on. Look at her
long train"
The last word caught serious-mind-
ed James attention.
"Auntie, show me the train"
Auntle pointed to the deep fiounca
which was set on with large plaits and
which was long enough at the back for
quite sweep. james took 1t In his
hands and examined 1t closely and ST.

Annfhar HScran of Paper.W

Twenty-seven years ago settlers at
Olympia, Wash, made treaty with
the Indians allowing them to fish any
where and at any time, says Commerce
and Finance. Now the state game
laws prohibit them from the sport DUR
ing the closed season.
Saluskin, big chief of the Yakimas'
with a number of other Indians, after
protesting In vain to the local game
wardens, went to the city to protest.
against the violation Of their rights.
Imagine a chieftain, 80 years oid.
straight as an arrow, yet half blind
and enfeebled, entering a court room
IN modern city. This man had seen
the victory of civilization in Its strug-
gle against the wilderness. He had
seen his race pass control OF the land
TO the white race. Still believing IN
the honor Of the white man, he came
to protest against the infringement on
a treaty made a quarter of century
before.
saluskin was informed by an inter-
breter that the district attorney coAq
not change the state game laws.
"Hoh! I" was his only comment.

Woman Frozen to Ground.

During cold snap last winter
Mrs. John Baker of townsville TOOK
a bucket of hot water and went into
the ward to clean the concrete pave
ment. She splashed the water around
and used the broom vigorously, when
suddenly she realized she could not
move. She made determined efforts TO
move her feet, and experienced a fear
full cold chill as thoughts of paralysis
flashed into her mind. She screamed
loudly for help, and her husband VINO
came running, found her shoes were
frozen to the pavement.
With a vigorous jerk he yanked her
loose, almost pulling her out OF her
shoes. 1t was thankful wife he leo
into the house to warm her feet.

CHAPTER xVI--continued.

If
II came out with the first expedl-
tonary force, and, like all the rest,
thought we would have the enemy
licked In Jig time, and be able to eat
Christmas dinner at home. Well, so
far, have eaten two Christmas din
ners in the trenches, and am liable to
eat two more, the way things are
pointing. That is, If Fritz don't drop
a withholding on me, and send me to
Blighty. Sometimes / wish / would
get hit, because it's no great picnic
out here, and twenty-five months Of 1t
makes you fed up.
"It's fairly eushy now compared to
what 1t used to be, although admit
this trench Is trifie rough. Now,
we send over five shells to their one.
We are getting our own back, but in
the early days it was different. Then
you had to take everything without
reply. In fact, we would get twenty
shells In return for every one we sent
over. Fritz seemed to enjoy 1t, but
we British didn't; we were the suf-
ferers. Just one casualty after an
other. Sometimes whole platoons
would disappear, especially when
Jack Johnson plunked into their
middle. 1t got so bad that fellow,
when writing home, wouldn't ask for
any cigarettes to be sent out, because
he was afraid he wouldn't be there to
receive them.
"After rhe drive to Paris was turned
back, trench warfare started. Our
general grabbed a map, drew a pencil
across it, and said, dig here Then
he went back to his tea, and Tommy
armed himself with a pick and shovel
and started digging. He's been dig
ging ever since.
"Of course we dug those trenches at
night, but it was hot work, what with
the rife and machine-gun fire. The
stretcher bearers worked harder than
the diggers.
"Those trenches, 5loomin' bitches, 4
call them, were nightmares. They were
only about five feet deep, and you used
to get the backache from bending
down. 1t wasn't exactly safe to stand
upright, either, because as soon as
your napper showed over the up q
bullet would bounce off 1t, or else come
so close it would make your hair stand
1--WE used to fill sandbags and stick
them on top of the parapet to make II
higher, but no use; they would PC
there about an hour and then Fritz
would turn loose and blow them &c
bits. My neck used to be sore from
ducklng shells and bullets.
"Where my battery was stationed
hasty trench had been dug, which
the boys nicknamed Suicide ditch,
and, believe me, Yank, this was the
original Suicide ditch All the Others
are limitations.
"When a fellow went into thai
trench it was an even gamble that he
would come out on stretcher. At one
time a Scotch battalion held 1t, and
when they heard the betting was ever
money that they'd come out OF
stretchers, they grabbed all the bet
In sight. Like lot Of bally idiots, sew
eral of the battery men fell for theil

game, and put up real money. The
Jocks suffered lot of casualties, and
the prospects looked bright for the
battery men to collect some easy
money. So when the battalion was re-
lieved the gamblers lined up. Several
Jocks got their money for emerging
safely, but the ones who clicked 1t
weren't there to pay. The artillery
men had never thought 1t out that
way. Those Scotties were bound to
be sure winners, no matter how the
wind blew. So take q tip from me,
never bet with Scottie, cause you'll
lose money.
"At one part of our trench where
communication trench Joined the
front line a Tommy had stuck up
wooden signpost with three hands or
arms on 1t. One of the hands, point
ing to the German lines, read, ITO Ber-
linz the one pointing down the com.
munication trench read, ITO Blighty,
while the other said, Suicide Ditch,
Change Here for Stretchers.'
"Farther down from this guide post
the trench ran through an old orchard.
On the edge of this orchard our bat
terry had constructed an advanced OBJ
servation post. The trees screened 1t
from the enemy airmen and the roof
was turfed. 1t wasn't cushy like ours
INF 1te
just walls of sandbags. From 1t a
splendid view of the German lines
could be obtained. This post wasn't
exactly safe. It was hot corner,
shells plunking all around, and the
bullets cutting leaves off the trees.
Many a time when relieving the sig
mailer at the phone, had to crawl on
my belly like a worm to keep from
being hit.
ut was an observation post sure
enough. That's all the use 1t was. Just
observe all day, but never a message
back for our battery to open up. You
see, at this point Of the line there
were strict orders not to fire shell,
unless specially ordered to do so from
brigade headquarters. Blime me, If
anyone disobeyed that command, our
general-yes, it was Old Pepper
would have contaminated the whole
expeditionary force. Nobody went out
of their way to disobey Old Pepper in
those days, because he couldn't be
called parson; he was more like q
pirate. If at any time the devil should
feel lonely and sigh for proper mate,
Old Pepper would get the first call
Facing the Germans wasn't half bad
compared with an interview with that
old firebrand.
"If a company or battalion should
give way q few yards against SUI
perior force of Boches, Old Pepper
would send for the commanding Off.
Ger. In about half an hour the officer
would come back with his face thu
color of brick, and In few hours
what was left of his command would
be holding their original position.
81 have seen an officer who wouldn't
say d-n for a thousand quid spend
five minutes with the old boy, and
when he returned the flow of Language
from his lips would make a NAVY
blush for shame.

PRESS MEETING ENDS.
Members Consearate Their Efforts tc
America in the War.

Gaffney, Sept. ia plea for a
greater spirit Of nationalism on the
part of the people of South Carolina
was sounded today at the conclud-
ing session of the South Carolina Press
Association. The newspaper workers
consecrated their efforts to the sue
cess Of America in the war. Tonight
three brilliant addresses were deliv-
erred before the members Of the asse-
citation and the people Of Gaffney by
Governor-nominate Robert A. Cooper,
Mrs. Annie I. Rembert, field secretary
fa rthe State Board Of Health, and
sDr. Reed Smith, executive secretary
of the State Council of Defense. The
progressive program that South Caro-
lima must follow during and after the
war was outlined by the speakers.
At the afternoon session officers for
the year were reelected. J. /. Minis,
of Edgefeld, is president of the asso-
ciation. Corporal Joe Sparks was re-
elected secretary, but was granted an
indefinite leave Of absence. He was
instructed to name an assistant secre--
tary. Other officers reelected were:
A. B. Jordan, of Dillon, first vice pres
ident; H. G. Osteen, Of Sumter, second
vice president, and Rion McKissick,
Allison Lee and L. Wigfall Cheathanl
members Of the executive committee.
3. p. Davies resigned as treasurer
and August Kohn, of Columbia, was
elected to succeed him.
During the day the newspaper
workers discussed many matters OF
vital importance in the newspaper
profession. Several interesting pa
pers were read and discussed. Among
those reading papers were O. K. Will
liams and A. B. Jordan.
The association pledged itself to
support the liberty loan and united
war fund drives.
The editors enjoyed long automo-
bile ride over Cherokee's magnificent
roads. Tomorrow they invade the re-
gien of Chimney Rockq. This has been
one of the most enjoyable sessions o.

Gaffney for their charming hospitality

AN IMPORTANT MATTER.
The Produce Marketing Association is
Delayed by Subscribers Not Paying
in the Capita. Stock.

The Farmers Produce Marketins
Association is slow IN getting under
headway, simply because many oi
the subscribers to the capital stock
thereof will not send in their pay
nents or thirty per cent as called
for. This is just pure carelessness
doubtless, or due possibly to the
farmers being very busy with their al
fairs, and each one doubtless imaglnes
his first fifteen dollar payment is 2
trivial matter and that his delay will
in no wise interfere with the progress
Of .he association Or in the securing
of the first thirty per cent payments
