P. M. for the purpose of considering
further the mctter. There seems to
be a popular sentiment that it would
be better to erect some kind of use
full memorial to the memory of our
soldier boys who represented us in the
awful war rather than erect a marble
shaft that could never make one little
contribution to the needs of mankind
as would an adequately endowed
hospital? Agitation is what we want
now, speak out!

at intervals with flashes like this:
"When our boys came up the stray

forward When the stragglers saw
that, they formed, too, and went back

CARAVAN KITCHENS" TO STAY
Introduced as Wartime Measure in
England, They Have Demonstrated
Their Usefulness.

One of the most successful wartime
experiments has been the caravan
kitchen, says a London (Eng.) dis
patch.
Owing to the fact that so many
mothers had to leave their families Of
young children to fend for themselves
while they went out to work to make
ends meet, Miss Horsborough con-
ceived the idea of catering to the
needs of these children by means Of
caravan kitchen.
Assisted by three or four other wom-
en-, she paraded the poorer quarters of
London, cooking en- route all kinds of
toothsome and nourishing dishes. The
kiddies came running out with their
plates at the blowing of tin trumpet,
and were served with a piping hot and
appetizing dinner in return for q
triHing sum of money, which had been
left with them for this purpose by
mother.
Tue fame of the caravan kitchen
soon spread abroad, and within a short
space of time was paying its way, 49,
900 dinners week being served in
one district alone.
SO successful has been this travel
ing caterer it is likely the work will
be continued on larger scale. and be-
come a permanent institution, instead
of a wartime measure.

INGALLS, EULoGY OF GRASS
Brilliant Piece Of Writing by Famous
Kansan viii Forever Hold Place
in Literature.

'Tying in the sunshine among the
buttercups and dandelions of May,
scarcely higher in intelligence than
derness, our earliest recollections are
of grass, and when the fitful fever is
ended and the foolish wrangle of the
market and the forum is closed, grass
heals over the scar which our descent
into the bosom of earth has made and
the carpet of the infant becomes the
blanket Of the dead. Grass is the for
riyeness Of nature-her constant ben
edlction. Fields trampled with bat
tIe. saturated with blood, torn with
the ruts of cannon, grow green again
with grass, and carnage is forgotten.
Streets abandoned by traffic become
grass grown like rural lanes and are
Obliter&ted. Forests decay, harvests
perssh, flowers vanish, but grass is i'm
mortal. Beleaguered by the sullen
hosts of winter, it withdraws into the
impregnable fortress of its subterrane-
an vitality and energies upon the first
solicitation of spring. Sown by the
winds, by the wandering birds, propa-
gated by the subtle agriculture of the
elements which are its ministers and
servants, it softens the rude outline of
the world. II bears no blaZonry of
bloom to charm the senses with fra
GRANGE or splendor, but its homely hue
is more enthanting than the lily or the
rose. It yields no fruit in earth or
air, and yet, should its harvest fail for
single year, famine would depopulate
the world"
This classic by John ]. ingalls,, was
first printed in the Duluth Herald,
says the Kansas Magazine, when Sen
ator Ingalls, was one of its owners.
