On our way over the Mediterranean
we passed almost over the spot where
the good old Tyler was sunk. It
brought back to my mind vivid REQ
objections Of that terrible night and I
thought of the war, now over, of the
days when the Tyler was sailing the
high seas-of the brave lads who were
with me, of the five who went to the
bottom, Of the fight we made, of the
fearful explosion, the excitement, the
long swim for life, and finally. saliva
ton. and then I thought how lucky
was that l could be alive and we'll,
and not among those poor fellows
now dead.
That was an experience that 1 can
never forget and you can imagine my
feelings as we went over the same
spot In my mind 1 fought that bat
tie all over again.
While we were at Brest the Won
Steuben was lying very close to us.
One of our men took a picture of
her. 1 will get a copy and send it
for that was the ship that Papa came
home on from France.
I want to know if you received the
things 1 sent you. From Russia I
sent you pair of genuine seal-skin
slippers, and two small picture frames
from Norway. If you have to pay
any duty on them let me know.
A day or two before We left Brest
one of the men brought me a sealed
note from ashore. When l opened it
l found 1t was from Sam Neff, of Del
ia. He was at Base Hospital No. S,
but as we were under sailing orders
at that time did not get a chance to
see him.
1 am well and enjoying my exper-
fences. l hope all are well at home.
Don't know where 1 will be when /

EVEN THE BRAVE FIREMAN
HAS A LESSON FOR LIFE
(By Adelaide A. Wheeler.)


Nancy Bryants father was a firs-
man. He never could be at home with
Mother and Nancy long because he
had to spend so much time at the
fire station. But one cold winter
night he was able to get away, and
after supper Nancy said:
"Oh, Father, let's play parchessi to-
might"
"All right, I'd like to-" Father re-
piled, IF mother will play too." So
Nancy ran for her parchessi board
and soon father, mother and Nancy
were having fine game. All at once
they heard a loud ''clang."

which always rang when they had .

Father jumped up and hurried for

mother.
Isn't it too bad, cried Nancy, when
we were having such good time"
"Yes," father replied. I'm sorry
too, but someone needs me-
Then he opened the door quickly
and ran down the street to the fire
station as fast as he could go,
Nancy jumped up and hurried ov-
er to the window.
"Clang, clang, clang!r There was
the hose cart.

came the flying sparks of the big en-

 FOR COTTON AS
 MINIMUM ASKED
Change of Recommendations to Even Higher Scale is
 Probable.

New Orleans, Sept. 9.-Adoption by the American Cotton association here today of the report of it's com mittee on recommendation Of a mini mum price to be paid for cotton to the producer was the big feature of the entire convention which adjourned late this afternoon.
 The report as adopted suggests a scale of minimum prices beginning at 36 cents for September and gradually increasing by months up to 40 cents for May on a middling basis United States government grade and deliv- cry at point of origin.
 Due to uncertain conditions now existing, it is specified that these recommended minimum prices are only temporary and that even high Ter prices may be recommended later by the executive committee of the association,
 The following scale of prices was recommended:
 September, 36 cents; October 36 1-2 cents; November, 37 cents; December 37 12 cents; January 3S cents; Feb ruary, 3S 1-2 cents March 39 cents /; April, 39 l-2 cents May 40 cents. Basis, middling; grade, U. s. gov ernment; delivery, point of origin.
 In recommending the above scale the committee stated that while the scale called for price of 40 cents in May, it would to the advantage of all who can hold their cotton for a fur ther increase, to do so.

 The full report of the committee was as follows:
