in right much Of q hurry just then
took hold Of one arm while another
boy took hold Of the other arm, and
we stayed with him until he was out Of
danger. A shrapnel bullet had hit him
in the knee.
Most Of the fellows lost their packs
and some lost their rifles; but I did
not lose anything except my nerve. I
could not afford to give up my pack as
long as could keep it between me and
the enemy and really 1t served me q
pretty good turn. A piece Of shrapnel,
which otherwise would have gotten
me, hit it and tore several holes
through my raincoat
But don't understand that we were
running away, mother. It was not that.
We were in place where the enemy
had the best Of US and eur officers,
seeing that otherwise we would have
been butchered, took US into q better
position. 1t was no trouble to get Us
in line and start rs back again; but
just as we were about to return there
came the order to Cease firing"
The armistice had been signed
Mother, you cannot imagine how I
felt and cannot tell you; but every
body was glad it was over and every
body was anxious to learn who had
escaped the shells and bullets Of the
enemy.
There were six or seven killed out Of
our company and good many were
wounded. It seemed impossible that
so many could have remained un-
harmed.
The next call was for volunteers to
carry first aid to the wounded, and O
number or our boys went forward. All
tired and unstrung as was after that
terrible day this was no easy job and
It was II o'clock that night before we
got through with 1t.
We camped on the battlefield the
night Of the 11th and the next day we
buried the dead. After that we left
the battlefield and that night we camp
ed on the roadside. Next day we hiked
to little village on the outskirts Of
Verdun, and after two or three days
we went to French camp. where we
remained till Monday. Then we hiked
to another town about twenty kilome-
ters back this way. and after a few
more days we started on the long. long
return hike that we will never forget,
until we arrived at this town Of Coul-
miers le Sec, on December 8.
I am now on my way home now.

USES OF MONEY.
Important Lessons That Small Borrow

Important Lessons That Small Borrow
ers Must Learn Thoroughly.
More necessary than a campaign
against high interest rates is move
ment to educate small borrowers to the
fact that when they borrow money
they are expected to put it to a pro-
ductive use, and to turn 1t over within
the period Of the loan, so that they
may be able, to pay back the principa!
when 1t is due.
The 5O-acre farmer should get i,
firmly into his head that II he borroWs
at all, his money will go into produc-
tive enterprises-that he will buy live
stock, labor saving machinery, fertiliz-
er, or employ labor to cultivate larg-
er area. In other words he must con-
template not only meeting the inter
est payments, but also replacing the
loan.
Tho wage-earner and the salaried
man who are the victims OF loan
sharks because they do not'make pro-
vision for the repayment Of principal
must be led to see that it is dangerous
to borrow at any time for consump-
ton.
Three per cent interest on loans will
not help the man who borrows money
and spends it on clothes, food and JOY
jaunts. -
This condition was the basis Of the
outcry against so-called usury in bioli-
cal times. Historians tell US that this
was an era Of borrowing for consump-
ton. The borrowers became the slaves
Of the money lenders through their In
ability to repay the loans. The pro-
test was against the whole system OF
money lending, and not against inter-
est, as such.
Obviously, it is wise to borrow mon
ey with which to purchase a home,
provided the dwelling is Of character
that is not out of proportion to the in
come Of the purchaser.
But the man with a $4,000 income
who buys a $4,000 house is headed
for the poorhouse whether his interest
is four or two per cent.
Those who have surplus funds, which
they have not the ability to direct into
productive channels should be encour-
aged to place their money in the hands
of those who have the ability. -. =
Our entire business struct1re de-
pends on the easy flow of money back
and forth between savers and produc-
ers. > ~."n..;;:,{
The saver should be encouraged to
store up, accumulate capital by re-
ceiving satisfactory interest rate fos
the use Of his money. -
When the borrower takes money II
is assumed that he can use 1t more
p, 9ductively than the lender-it is ex'
pected that he can make it bring back
more than he pays but for Its use..

If the violent strikes which have
broken out in q suspicious semi-circle
around Weimar, writes Berlin corre'

They are inclined to dismiss polltica

POLLOCK AND WOMAN SUFFRAGE
Story of Situation as Accepted in the
North.

Here is a funny story that is being
printed for what it is worth. IL is from
the New York World. There are Things
about the story that people OF South
Caroline. will not clearly understand
and there are other things that they
will understand. One Of the jokes is
found in the statement that In MS
own district in South Carolina, Senator
pollock carries great influence as the
man who was willing to make cam
paign against Cole Blease and won a
victory" There are very few people IN
this state who consider that Mr.. Poi-
lock ever won a victory over Cole
Blease. The utmost that can be claim
cd for him is that he and Jennings
double-teamed against Blease to keep
Blease from beating Smith for the SEN
ate. Neither Of them ever had any
idea of going to the senate and the
people never had any idea of sending
them there. Mr.. Pollock's election TO
the unexpired term Of Senator Tillman'
az everybody knows, was much more
of a reproof Of Governor Manning 1or
giving this high office away on basis
| of personal favoritism, than 1t was as
| a compliment to Mr.. Pollock. Mr.. Pol
lock will not go to the senate again
| The people he was representing IN ms
fight against Blease will not support
him. and neither, Of course, will the
people against whom he arrayed him
self in that fight. The fact that ne
voted for the woman suffrage amend
ment is not going to hurt him In the
slightest. People who would not have
supported him anyway are using that
as a pretext~ for opposition; but more
as a means of justifying themselves
for ingratitude~on account OF supposed
service than because Of real concern
about woman's suffrage. But with II
all, this story from the new forh
World is possessed Of certain amount
Of INTEREST,".

Nothing more remarkable has hap
pened in the light for and against the
adoption Of the Federal suffrage am-
endment in the United States senate
which, supposedly closed by the de-
feat of Feb. 10, is now threatened by q
reintroduction through efforts of the
Alice Paul militants, than the political
play of the anti-suffragists, which would
have succeeded at least in precipitating
a miniature scandal but for one over
whelming influence. That influence is
the unqualified admiration and regard
by the woman Of the south for the
president of the United States. One
of the main objections and most often
reiterated, at the anti-suffragists to
the enfranchisement Of the sex has
been that women must be brought into
contact with the muck Of politics but
the card played by the antis at the be-
hest Of Mrs. James w. Wadsworth jr.,

in the senate, was one Of the most
carefully calculated bids for political
supremacy that has been advanced by
either side. Mrs. Wadsworth and her

WATCH FOR The new
POTATO DISEASE
Wart, Discovered In Pennsylvania,
May Break Out Elsewhere, De-
partment Of Agriculture
Fears.

Washington-Wart, one Of the most
dangerous diseases of potatoes which
has made its appearance In the United
States, exists only in limited Sec
ton of Pennsylvania, according to the
latest information obtained by the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture. The infested territory embraces
q comparatively small mining towns.
But experts o the department have
given warning that the infestation
may have reached othe' esctions in
the same way that 1t reached the
Pennsylvania mining towns, and Wig
lance is urged to discover and report
it, If it does exist elsewhere, as well
as to guard against possible spread
of infestation.
The wart disease is thought to have
been brought to Pennsylvania in 1912
in potatoes imported from Europe.
The potato crop in the United States
was short that year, and European
potatoes are known to have gone to
Pennsylvania and other places over
the country where there was demand
for a cheap supply. The discovery Of
the disease in Pennsylvania was made
only last year and there is a POSSIBLE
ity that 1t may be present but not yet
recognized in other places.

Have you ever been in sand storm

No? Then you have no idea 1usl

sand, away from habitation, away

William Fox gives you realistic
picture of one of these storms in his
beautiful and thrilling motion pic

next Friday for the benefit of the First
District Parent Teacher Association.
It shows those camels plodding
slowly along when the storm breaks.
Thereafter Aladdin, portrayed by that
delightful little star, Francis Carpeh-

storm affects a person wandering
alone over the sands. He gets along
fairly we'll until his water cask runs
dry. Then the throat, parched by lack
Of water, calls painfully for relief.
