The Value of Prayer

One day a poor lady went to a
rich butcher and asked for some
meat. The butcher seeing that the
lady was SO poor, asked her. How
can you pay me- The poor old
lady SAID, 81 will pay you with
prayers" She told him she would
write her prayers on paper and
see if the prayers weighed as much
as the meat The butcher then
put the paper with prayers on
one side of the scale and a piece
Of meat ON the other side! TO his
surprise he found that the little
piece of paper weighed more than
the meat.
He let the poor old lady keep
the meat and told her if she need
ed more she should be sure to
call again. as he now believed
prayers were worth something any.

The Haunted Spirit
of Bevelvade

vi IDcNcINIut
First a leap and then a bark,
Comes the sound like a meadow
lark.
Down in the earth where it looks
so cold
Comes that Old, old story that's
told,
Where the fathers saw a fame,
The children hailed It in his
name:
Caught the "drift" and sent it on.
Talked about from night til dawn,
'Tis story that never grows old.
Makes no difference how much
it's told;
You can smell lit in the air,
And then you jump with a tremb-
ly scare;
First the man of all the land
Sent the scare to an enemy band
Kept them out Of sight of the cave
Right then he saw that they were
not brave
Down in cave SO dark and cold
Lived creature and its anceS-
tors old.
Gave a bark and spit out fame,
All people watched and twas just
the same.
Roamed about at day and night.
Disappearing out of sight
Switching it's tail and breathing
perfume,
You'd thing twas a realfor-sure
loon
It lived in the cave and ate the
people.
Ran in the church; climbed up
the steeple.
Barked. roared, climbed and leaped
You'd dream it ate you when
you'd sleep.
Now this was land of spirits
true,
The people were real ghost like,
too.
And this inhabitant Of the cave
Was the haunted spirit of Bey-
elvade.

 For the first time however, 1t was stated unreservedly that General Fochs supreme command extended to Italy.
 1t was stated also tha Italy besides now sending troops in numbers equal to those being sent from the United States to France now has on her fighting line a larger army more per- fectly equipped than she had before the great Austrian drive. This may be explanatory of the apparent equani- mity with which the allied leaders face recurrent reports of a new drive on the Italian front. Information that the brigaded allied division in the west propably will be placed under the command of General Pershing when the numbers of American troops con- tained in them predominate was tall- en to mean that the same principle would operate when the predominating numbers were French or British.

 COMMAND OF ARMY
General Foch Win Continue to Be in Supreme Command of All the Ar nes-ltaIian Army in Better Con- ditions Than 1t Has Ever Been.

Washington, May 1J.--General Peshing will soon be commanding French and British troops as the pro- cess of brgading American units with their allies on the western front goes forward.
 As If eXemplifying the unity of com mand and action into which United States and it's co-belligerents have en- tered it became known here today that whenever American troops predom- mated brigade divisions as the process goes on these divisions under present plans will be turned over to General Pershing's command. This plan would accomplish several things which the military authorities consulting unon It regard as very desirable It wosld rapidly increase the size of the Amer ican fighting command on the battle line; 1t would contribute tremendously to the spirit of unity and concerted effort and at the same time instead of holding large numbers of American troops behind the lines while train hhrf NCNlu nhlAOhnu tlAEiu NAtH Htd- soned veterans and under actual bat tie conditions school them to be re- brigaded later with fresh American troops coming to France. Tn this way the efficiency Of the British and French forces is expected to be in creased and the work of building upI a great fully trained and completely equipped fighting force fin France is expected to be hastened.
 In addition to this as Illustrative of the unity of command under which Ceneralissimo Foch directs all the hllied armies r was stated oNiciallvI fheer today that Foch comands the Italian trooNs in Ttalv as fully as he does the American.
