French Officers Politeness.

We witnessed going into action a
battery OF French 1858. whose officers
with charming politeness excused
their motor trucks blocking the road,
refusing to admit that we were in
cumbrances. The incident was really
touching, as the gallant officers were
haggard from labor, loss of sleep and
anxiety over their guns, and had ev-
cry right to be annoyed and consider
us lnterlopers.> That, however, is
never the French attitude.
The Germans were installed on the
hills across the IAisne. which look
find 1t worth while to waste shells
in attempting to hit-a solitary auto
mobile. SO we were enabled to ap-
proach the city limits. Parking our
car under the shattered walls, we cut
across the fields. slipping along Old
trenches. and taking advantage of
trees, we entered the recaptured city
What most impressed me about
scissors was the utter desertion of
its streets and houses. Not a dog
or a cat was in sight, and there was
no sound except the screech of shells
overhead and the rattle of machine
guns at the outskirts of the city
Even the magpies, which were lunch
ing off street refuse, forgot their
usual noisy Cuarrels. Overthrown
barricades of tables, bedsteads and
tree branches were numerous. The
houses in the outskirts were badly
damaged and many destroyed, as it
was there the German rear guards re-
sisted. but the interior of the city
suffered surprisingly little. All the
buildings have shell holes, but many
can be repaired

husband and several grandchildren.

years old and had been in i'll health
since last October. She was a mem
Der of the Methodist church in
Evansville and had wide circle OF
friends. Several beautiful floral Of
ferings were sent the members of the
family in memory of Mrs. Moser.

FARMERS
NOT TO Be
TOLERATED
Who Refuse to Plant Wheat
Unless They are Promised
Higher Prices.
Should be Sent to the Front
Line Trenches.

The Kaiser can have no hope of
gaining the mastery of the seas, so
that even ii his armies over run
France and Italy, how does he expect
to conquer England and the United
States?
This is easily answered. He ex-
poets them to quit. As a recent edi-
torial in one of our popular periodi-
Gals states, HE hopes there is enough
laziness and selhshness and coward
ice in the people of these countries
to give the game into his hands. He
thinks they will get tired of fighting.
He thinks they can not stand the
gait
He banks on the chaps who resent
having their profits and pleasures in
cause they think they have not been
terfered with, their diet regulated;
on the big capitalist who forestalls as
much as the law allows him; on the
man who will not buy a Liberty Bond
when he can get s per cent on
mortgage. and the labor leader and
wage Garner who will strike even
against the Government. To this we
may add He also banks on the
farmer who will not plant wheat be-
cause some other less essential crop
is more profitable There are I'M
doubtedly few farmers who, be-
treated fairly in the matter OF price,
have worked themselves up to such
a state of pity, and feel themselves
so abused that they are ready to quit
The thing to do with such men is TO
send them to the front in France
and let patriotic men run their farms;
men who are willing to forego profits
for the welfare OF their country. We
must plant every possible acre OF
wheat this coming year. Only the
German sympathizer or the Stacker
will stop now to consider the ques-
ton of profits.
If the price fixed by the Govern
ment is not high enough or not
fair one, the thing to do is to make
a strenuous fight to secure the price
which is fair. In the meantime, the
country will not tolerate the man
who refuses to plant wheat unless he
is promised a high price any more
than it will tolerate the prohteer in
any other business.

COMING TO
THE FRONT
In w. S. S. Sales. Quota Not
Reached So Far But Will
Be Very Soon.
Bankers are Lauded for Work.

Although Breckenridge county has
not quite reached its quota of sub
scribing $427, $4,000 to War Savings
Stamps. it is not very far from it and
from the sales made last week by
Geo. Z. Bess, Manager of the Trust
Department of the Bank of Hardins-
burg and Sheriff Jess Carman, which
was $4,000, the goal is surely in sight.
According to the Kentucky w. s. S.
Bulletin this county has subscribed
$172, 100000 and the last issue of the
Bulletin had the following to say of
the campaign in Breckenridge: The
two banks of Hardinsburg are deter
mined that if hteir own energy can
prevent it, none of the Breckenridge
County pledges will long remain I'M
filled. Representatives of the banks
each spend two days a week visiting
various communities in the county
supplied with enough War Savings
Stamps to meet the requirements.
Their visits are advertised in adj
vance and they take as many stamps
as they estimate from the pledge
cards will be needed in each district
and thus encourage to the fullest ex-
tent the fulhllment of pledges
J. Raleigh Meador, school super
intendent. has become War Savings
Stamp Chairman for Breckenridge
County and has enlisted the cooper
alton of hundred teachers and
hundred trustees to increase the
county's pledge to its quota.
The eighteen counties in tn state
which have exceeded their goal SO
far are: Bourbon. Bracken, Bullitt,
Butler, Galloway, Fayette, Fleming,
Franklin, Henry, Kenton, Logan,
Marion, Mason, McCreary, Mercer,
Oldham, Owen and Scott.

The little fellow N company with a

and went up in town where they
bought a nickels worth of candy they
then returned in the direction of the

and appeared to be badly scared.
Mrs. McAdams' attention was called
to the absence of the child and she
made an effort to get some informa-

child seemed so scared that nothing
certain could be CLEANED from his
disconnected story. When question

that the last that he saw of Jack

was given and number of boys and
men hurried to the bank and soon
found tracks leading into and out of
the water for a distance of 300 yards
up the bank. The remains of the
sack of candy and later his clothes
were found. Many of the boys began
series of. diving in the hopes of find

were brought into play and an I'M

Expert divers from Cannelton were
secured and yet without result. A
continual guard was kept on the river
both day and night in the hopes of
catching the remains, but to no avail
until the noon hour Friday, the re-

too great for any human being to

in the army many years ago and has
raised himself step by step from
private to that of Captain and is to-

AMERICAN SHIPS WILL
