hardships enough the unit mas hao
since its organization at Atlanta. The
Americus members of the corps are
"Jap" Pinkston, McCord Prather, John
Frank Thomas, Dudley Gatewood and
left McCleskey. The versified history
of their organization follows;
HISTORY OF 30S.
Gather around, bunch, and I'll relate
The history of terrible 3OS.
We have been labeled the M. T. c.,
And hail from each state and com
munity.
Atlanta. Ca, was our gathering spot,
Where we found camp? Well ] guess
not.
This state of affairs was soon over
come,
The boys went to work with a snap
and hum.
We got picks and shovels and all took
hand
To hue down the trees and level the
land.
Barracks were built, a caRteen erected,
And we got the shope done before
we expected.
Then came the call from over the sea,
Are you going, Corporal, do you think
they'll take me?
We were not long left in the dark,
Our names were called out at the base
ball park.
We piled on the train, said our last
good byes,
And babe farewell to those Southern
skies.
When they stopped at Merritt, but not
long to stay,
We drew our equipment, bye night ant
by day.
We marched to the harbor, throuc
brushes and trees,
Where the Ulua was waiting, in the
Autumn breeze.
Now of this old tub. We had much to
learn;
She could do the taiI-spin and cork
screw turn.
OF those fourteen days we've a lot a
say
Well curse English vessels to our
dying day.
We sailed into Brest one day about
noon,
And our voyage was ended, none too
soon.
Eating English stew is like taking a /,
pill,
And of sea-faring life we all had our
fill
It was proud bunch that stepped out
ON land.
What a glorious feeling; oh, boys, it !
was grand,
A hike out to camp was the next
event,
Where we found no shelter, not even
a tent
We tried to keep dry, but it was all in
All we could see was French mud and
rain.
We were like our Master. of whom
you have read
Had no place wherein to lay His head
A doctor came out his duty to do,
TO gather up dead, the victims of
flu
Our captain came up his tribute to
pay,
But really we babe him the time of
day.
Begone, you Grape hanging son-of-a-
gun.
H0ur sick men are few, and of dead we
have none.
Twas far different story, with the
medical corps,
Who came out to camp the night
before.
'Tis pitiful tale. They died in their
tracks
Too weak and disheartened to unroll
their packs.
We could hear their last moan, as
they met their God.
They now rest in peace, beneath for
eign sod.
Sherman was right, boys" The old
saying was true.

GREENLAND.

The first explorer to attain the northern coast of Greenland was Commander, now Admiral, Robert E. Peary. who accomplished that feat 19 years ago today, May s, 1900. It was about 33 years ago that Peary began his explorations in that vast island, a large part of which has been terra incognita. since it's discovery by the Icelander, Gunnbjorn, in the ninth century. In 1886 Peary made a re- connaisance of the Greenland inland ice-cap east of Disco Bay. In 1891 he led another expedition to the northeast angle of Greenland, and discovered and named Melville Land and Heiprin Land, lying beyond Greenland. He determined the in sularity of Greenland, for which he received medals from American, British and Scottish geograp phical so- cieties. In 1898 he headed another expedition and in 1900 rounded the northern extremity of Greenland Archipelago, the last of the great Arctic land groups, and named the northern cape after Morris K. Jessup, while the name of Peary Land has been given by geographers to a vast

MONTREAL.

If an Indian lurked behind every tree, still we would eoI'' It was with this declaration that De Maisonneuve and his little band of 40 men and four women set out from Quebec PIT years ago today, May 8, 1642, for the site of Montreal, where they landed ten days later and laid the foundation of Vile Marie. which, after many viccissi- tudes and hardships and tragedies was destined to become the metro politan city of the great Dominion of Canada. Le Rover de la DauYersiere and Jean Jacques Offer share with the brave and courageous Maison- neuve the honor of having been the founders of Montreal. The Sieur De Nfatsonneuve had been sent from France by a. religious society to es- tabIish the settlement of Vile Marie. and reached Quebec late in 1641. It was impossible to proceed until the coming of spring. and then the gov ernor urged De Maisonneuve to re- main in Quebec, pointing out the dangers to which the little party would be exposed from the hostile Iroquois De Maisonneuve replied to these arguments with the historic answer quoted above, and the little party set out in a fleet composed of two small sailing craft and two row boats. They were accom- panied by Coy. Montmagny who formally turn ed over the island to the settlers. The site of Montreal had been suggested as a good one for a town of Cham plain, but he died before he could put plan for making a settlement into effect. The two decades which fol lowed the foundation of Montreal was a period of constant watching and vigilance. Montreal was surrounded by a cruel and relentless foe who was utterly devoid of mercy, and the river was filled with their canoes. On one occasion, in 1880, only the devoted heroism of Daulac des OrmeaUx, a youthful French nobIeman, saved Vile Marie from utter extinction by the savage Iroquois.

LUXURY TAXES.

The new luxury taxes that went into effect this month, are Causizs some complaint It must be remem- bered that the tax, in the case of 20 classes of articles coming under this category, Is not for the whole price of the article. It Is merely on the excess above a, certain sum. When d woman buys a S25 hat, she pays tho 10 per cent assessment only on SIG, which Is the excess over S15 where the tax begins to apply. The woman who has been accustomed to buying a s25 hat will not feel 1t keenly to pay $26.
 It is rather surprising that the luxury tax idea was never applied more consistently before. The taxes now levied seem likely to remain In force some time. Those who feel them have an easy remedy by living simply and accepting the kind of goods that appeal to the great run of the people.
 The taxes on medicinal prepara- tions will be regarded by many as placed upon a real necessity. But the taxes on high priced clothing and house furnishings seem to hit few things that can be considered es- sentiaI
 Men and boys for instance have to pay a tax on silk stockings costing in excess of $1 pair. Is there anyone who really needs to pay more than $1 for stocking? If so, he probably has income enough so that he can pay a few cents additional to the government to help meet the enor- nous burden of war debt. And so it goes all through the list.
 These taxes will have some effect to cut down expenditure and to work for simple living. So they may work indirectly to increase thrift and pro mote greater additions to the capital resources of the country.

PENNIES IN
 BIG DEMAND

Washington, May S.-Pennies are more in demand than dollars in these days of soda water taxes. Since May 1, when these taxes went into effect. the United States hints and sub-treasuries have been flooded with orders for millions of one-cent pieces and these coins have been shipped to the banks by the bushel.
 To meet the continued demand the Philadelphia and Denver hints are working almost exclusively on one cent pieces, and an extra shift of workers has been ordered for the Philadelphia mint. Beginning today two million one-cent pieces will be turned out daily.

YANKEE DoODLT2s GARDEN

To Air of Yankee Doodle" When Yankee Doodle was a boy, His father had a garden; .. It gave his daddy health and joy, And made his muscles harden.
 Chorus Yankee Doodle bought a hoe, He used 1t mighty handy, And helped to make the garden
 grow, Did Yankee Doodle Dandy. Now Yankee DOOdle's sister Sue, She IOnged to be a gardener; io what did Yankee Doodle do, But take her in as partner.
 Chorus. Then Yankee Doodle bought some
 6eeds, And started in a-planting: Tho he was busy pulling weeds, He found the work enchanting.
 Chorus He planted beets and carrots, too, And likewise some potatoes; He bought tomato plants few, And grew big red tomatoes.
 Chorus He soon began to raise a tan, His cheeks were plump and rosy: His eyes grew bright and every night, He slept so sound and cosy.
 Chorus He bought a farm, this Yankee kid, His work had made him wealthy; So do like Yankee Doodle did, You'll sure grow strong and healthy.
