adopted the entire Ameri-
.sn army as her own, devoting as
much of her care to it as opportunity
offered and her powers of endurance
nermitted. Cheerful, with that
touch of the debonair which has
made French women famous; abso-
,utely thoughtless Of self and un-
terrified by danger, she moved
among the wounded on their cots,
challenging them back to health by
the dauntlessness Of her courage and
the unconquerable quality of her
SOUL
But the fighting done, Mile.
Gauthier thought Of coming to Amer
;ca and then, for the first time, she
nFered misgivings. The war, it ap-
peared, had robbed her of father,
mother, brother almost at one
stroke. and going alone to land
which. though friendly, was strange,
terrified her.
What though on the battlefield
she frequently had ventured out to
where the shells were falling and
had been wounded three times?
What though the men she had tended
called her "The Little Mother Of the
Wounded" and the great Clemen-
ceau himself had given her three of
the highest decorations fof valor her
nation could bestow? When she
was with her father when he was
consul in Rome young women of her
class did not travel about unat-
tended and without funds, so here
was an enterprise which was en-
tirely new to her.
The eternal feminine swooped
back upon her, leaving her uncertain
and dismayed. How, then, to get to
America?
Mark you how America answered!
NJ ~< Al>A oxservice men whose
lives she had saved by her skill in
nursing stepped forward, saluted, as
all persons must in the presence of
this courageous young woman, and
offered to wed her? Not at all.
Calmly sweeping aside all consid-

might result from such an arrange

"Mademoiselle," they said with
that high gallantry which would be

"Bon," replied Mile. Gauthier, all
her troubles vanishing at breath.
1T is, as you say, a CO."
Theatrical though this may
sound, please do not imagine for a
minute that the proposal was the
atrically intended or theatrically
carried out.
Mile Gauthier is now at 442 East
Thompson Street, Philadelphia, and

little house, which is the home of
NJ. H. Harrison, formerly Of the
United States Navy, one of the men

OIL LEASES.

You should have a lease in the
Cement Oil Field, while the prices
are now within your reach. No mat
ter where your lease is located, as
the field develops, your lease will be
vance in price. Should they hit big
production, leases will sell for thou
sands of dollars per acre. Two or
three hundred barrel productions pay
handsome profits. Just put this
squarely up to your better judgment
From your knowledge of the Cement
field you see the necessity of such in
vestments if you are to get ahead.
Conservative men - and because
they are conservative-have made
huge profits on leases at Cement.

VOLUNTEERS or
AMERICA TO ASK
PUBLIC TO HELP

The volunteers OF America is a
credible and successful. American
organization, founded some twenty
three years ago by General and Mrs,
Ballington Booth, who are still the
leaders of the movement. The work
ha, steadily developed until it has
reached far-reaching proportions in
social, educational, hospital, rescue,
preventative, prison and evangelical
effort
The Volunteers of America have
refrained from promoting large
schemes for the extension Of their
home endeavors, while the war alb
sorbed the public's thought and en-
ergy. But not having. received any
monetary benefit through any pre-
viou1 war drive or united war fund
Volunteer officers throughout the
country now feel that the time has
arrived when an opportunity should
be given their many friends and the
public at large to help this organi-
zation financially. ..,
During the war and in connection
with their other laudable work the
Volunteers of America have sent
three hundred and twentysix Of
their officers and associate workers
to the front, they have also organic
ed service clubs in this country for
soldiers, sailors and marines, besides
rendering much timely aid to the
boys at home Mrs. Ballington
Booths ministry to the thousands
of boys in France, and her CORES
pondence with their mothers is in
itself an eloquent testimony of the
devotion of this organization to
those serving under the flag ot our
country
Now that the war is over the Vol
unteers of America come forward
to resume their national work under
a broader platform. 1t is not their
intention to institute national pub
lie campaign, during the prosecution

might keep our precious liberty,
that our beautiful land might not be
devastated, that our women and chill
dren might not be murdered, that
our industries, our commerce and
business might not go down in ruin,
like those of Belgium and France.
VIII the people Of the United
States subscribe to the Victory lib

That would be like asking if we
have no sense of gratitude for the
sacrifice Of our soldiers,-if our pa
triotism were dead
We no longer sing America" at
the beginning of every entertain
ment and "The Star Spangled Ban
ner" at its close. We have taken
down the flags from our houses. And
as fast as men from army and navy
return home, the service stars dis
appear.
But this does not mean that we
are a less fervently patriotic people.
1t simply means that we are now
writing the closing chapters in our
history of the war.
The last chapter? What is it?
1t is Victory Liberty loan.
VIII we write it feebly faltering-
ly, or will we pen magnificent
story as becomes the greatest ma
tion on earth?
viii we blot the pages with self
ishness and the spirit of the gutter,
or will we write it in humble graft
tude to our soldiers and sailors in
pride of our country, in hope of our
future destiny, so that all the world
can read?
Every time we have announced a
Liberty loan, from the first to the
fourth, the eyes of the world were
fixed on us. How would we meet it?
Would we go over the top in the
same splendid spirit of our soldiers,
or would we fail miserably? The
world knows that we never lost one
battle. either in war or finance.
Beginning with Monday April 21,
the opening day of the Victory Lib
erty loan, the eyes of the world
again will be on us What do we
think of the victory? What will we
do about paying our war debts? Do
we appreciate the wonderful service
our men have rendered us?
The Victory Liberty loan is the !
final test Of our character and great |
ness.
How will we meet the test?

1t should be borne in mind that each

considerable thinning. The young
beets that are pulled out in thinning
may be used as green's during the

be given hand cultivation entirely, the
rows may be placed as closely as

MEAT SCRAPS USED IN
FEEDING OF POULTRY

Poultry keepers in and around Da-
wilson county, Tenn, have increased
the use Of meat scraps in the feeding
of laying hens, due to educational
work that has been done through vari-
Gus agencies. The meat meal that has
been sold, which is nothing more or
less than cracklings ground into coarse
meal, has had an average of so to 60
per cent protein. This protein, the
poultrymen' have found, is In such
form as to give best results. Many
country merchants have increased
their sales by feeding meat scraps and
other poultry supplies, whereas In pre-
vious years they have not been in the
habit of handling this line of goods.
