"LiSten, Young Oaks" said the old
Oak tree to the ones which had only
quite recently been planted-that Is,
they were very much younger than the
old Oak tree.
And he young Oaks rustled and

well" continued the old Oak,
whom we will call Mother Oak, for
she was just like a mother to the
little Oaks, I'VE belong 10 the White
Oak family, and we also belong to the
great and mighty Oak family"
Now Mother Oak really could be
called a mother oak, for she had given
the little Oaks shade on the very hot
days before they had grown enough
to be able to stand the heat them
selves. At least they imagined tha1

though. and watching the things she
did. Then they would copy her and
do lust as little Oaks should do. They
had such fine example before them.
"What do you mean, Mother Oak,
when you say we belong To the White
Oak family and also to the great and
mighty Oak family. Aren't the White
Oaks great and mghty?
"To be sure" said Mother Oak, but
I meant the great family Of Oaks is
so enormous. We are just a part of 1t.
Suppose" continued Mother Oak,
"eyeryone had the same name;
wouldn't it be confusing? But trees
all of which are alike, should have the
same name because that makes it
easier for those who want to find out
about them.
Now we belong to the White Oak
family. Suppose each of us had diff
ferent name; how hard it would be
for those who wanted to know the
different kinds of Oaks. Suppose you
were Susy Tree" she said, waving IA
branch at one nearby young Oak, and
suppose the tree next to you was
called Sammy Tree; it would be ex-
tremely hard for people"

Yanks Ca,tured 40 Towns,

With the American Army on the
Sedan Front, Nov. 5.-General Perish
ings forces continue to take their
toll of prisoners in the wake of the
retreating Germans.
The number captured was we'll
above 5000. Over 100 guns were also
captured.
Almost forty villages were occupied
by the Americans in the territory re-
conquered from the Germans.
There were indications at the be-
ginning, Of the pursuit that the Ger
mans would be unable to make an eff
fective stand.
The German resistance encountered
by the American troops on virtually
all parts of the front was the feature
of the fighting. The opposition was
especially stubborn on the right and
left TANKS, where the enemy brought
I'D reinforcements and defended him
self with machine guns and artillery.
The American left wing pushed for
ward slowly, but doggedly. The
Americans occupied Verrieres and
Oches. The right wing worked its
way down the river Meuse and reach
ed a line between Beaufort and Beau
clair, and north of Halles and Wisep-
pc. This flank met with the most
stubborn resistance from the enemy,
who fought bitterly to prevent en-
croachment on the important town of
Stenay.
American troops in mass made no
effort to cross the river Mouse. Pa
trolls encountered heavy machine-gun
and artillery fire at every attempt.
They remained at nightfall upon the
west bank.
The center moved so fast that they
took prisoner German reinforcements
coming to aid their comrades in the
front lines.
In the action have been regulars and
national army troops from Texas, Ok

Nav Be Decisive Battle.

Paris. Nov. ga battle which Is
believed here to be a decisive one is
now going on.
1t is being waged in two sections.
In the north the blow delivered by
the British armies of Generals Horne,
Ryng and Rawlinson and by the
French, under General Debeney, is a
threat 1evelled at one of the TANKS
Of the vast pocket formed by the Ger
man lines from Holland to Metz
The object Of this offensive is to
drive dangerous wedges either north
Of the Sambre in the direction Of
Mons or south of the river in the di-
rection Of Avesnes and Maubeuge. The
result may be a widespread retreat of
the German armies in Belgium or
those still between the Disc and the

and we have such good roots that we
can stand storms.
1--WE are very popular with the men
who gather lumber and the people
who care for trees. And we live to a
very great age. Oh, we become so
old"
Then we've a long, long time to
live, eh, Mother Oak?" asked the little
Oaks.
You may live to be more than two
hundred years DID," said, Mother Oak.
Eyes, you will probably live to be far
older than that"
'How wonderful" the young Oaks
whispered.
"And then 1 told you," continued
Mother Oak, that we belonged to a
very great and mighty family of Oaks.
By that l meant that there are many
different kinds of oaks, like us in
many ways and again unlike US in d
good many ways.
"They say that there are three hun
dred different kinds of Oak Trees J"
"Oh dear, what lots Of Oaks" said
one of the young Oaks. "How thrill
ing to belong to such very big fam
lily. l know what it's like, Mother
Oak"
'What?" asked Mother Oak.
Its just as though we were all
people Of one country and there were
three hundred different families of us,
one named the Brown family, one the
White family, one the Black family,
and another the Jones family. And
so on" the young Oak added, for it
couldn't think of any more names
given to people. Instead of being
people of one country we're trees of
one general name-the Oak family.
And we are the White Oak branch of
the family-that's our special family
name"
Fright. right" said Mother OAK,
waving delightedly. "And you speak
the truth when you refer to us as a
branch of family, for that's very
sensible way to speak of tree"
The young Oak was much pleased
that it had been right in what it had
said. And we are going TO have our
own cups, too, when we're the right
age, the wonderful acorn cups Of the
Oak trees, eh?'
And Mother Oak nodded to let the
young oak know 1t was right once
more!

BandaqeS Now Made Quickly.

A recent invention which has not
been marketed as yet, but is reported
to be q great success. is an electric
roller for use In making the much.
needed five-yard rolls of bandages.
This new device is not only a great
lime and labor saver, but requires
little practice to learn to operate. The
rollers operated by hand, as they have
been heretofore, require skill and
training to operate them successfully,
and the work is strenuous. BY rolling
electrically the operator is able to
keep both hands on the bandage,
while in hand operation one hand
guides the roll or bandage and the
other operates the roller.
