Among its cities and towns were
Amiens, Albert, Peronne, Hamel, st.
Quentin, Roye, and many, many 9TH
ers that are today but heaps Of debris,
but which will figure prominently in
the history of the great war.
This beautiful valley was interlaced
with magnificent roadways, and each
roadway lined with wonderful trees,
many yof them centuries old. Along
these roadways stood hundreds of
farm villages, each village housing
from one hundred to five hundred hap
py, contented, thrifty people, who
titled the soil of their fertile acres and
gathered the fruit of their orchards as
their forefathers had done for many
generations.
Upon the farms of this valley all of
France depended for much of its food
stuffs, for it's bread, it's meat, its fruit,
and year after year these fertile acres
and these thrifty, Industrious people
had met the expectations Of France in
the matter of food production.
And then came the Boche with his
dreams of conquest and of loot, and
for four years this valley of the
Somme was a battle-ground, with mill
lions of men struggling backward and
forward across it, those on the one
side seeking the selfish purpose of
world domination and destruction and
those opposed seeking the preserva-
ton of freedom and liberty and world
civilization.
No Evidence of Many Villages.
The American people. and especially
those of the rich agricultural states Of
the North or South, of the East or
West, can look about them at their
own happy and prosperous communi-
ties and easily picture in their minds
the Somme section of France before
the war. But it is impossible to pic
ture that same section as it is today.
1t is impossible to put into words the
terrible devastation that has been
wrought because of the ambitions and
lust of selfish people.
Every one of the two or three hun
dreds of thriving farm villages are
gone, the great majority of them gone
SO completely as to leave no evidence
that they ever existed; the material of
which they were constructed carried
away tnat it might be used in the con-
/. struction of the Notifications of the
famous Hindenburg line behind which
the invaders sought refuge; its cities
completely demolished, their magnifi-
cent churches and cathedrals, the
work of the master builders of centu-
ries ago, ground to powdered stone;
the wonderful trees lining the road
ways torn to splinters; the people of
the valley homeless and scattered to
the four winds.
Like many thousands of Americans,
had failed to believe possible all of
the things we had been told were the
work of the Boche. had read with
considerable reservation the descrip-
ton of the destroyed orchards where
the fruit trees were said to have been

for miles and miles and miles over the
Somme valley l could not fail to be-
lieve what my eyes saw, and there
were the stumps of what had once
been orchard after orchard from which
France had reaped her harvest of
fruit. Each stump was cut square
with saw, and each stump of almost
exactly the same height. as though the

AT Ewshot Camp, in Hampshire, the
fields are green and wide,
They billow on like fairy seas toward
the Surrey side,
And vision from the little hills may
wander free and far,
At Ewshot Camp. in Hampshire, where
the Maoriland are.
And there are hedges white with flow
ers and little jocund lanes,
ShriII with the tone of tender leaves
and clean with summer rains,
And there are merry birds and bees and
flowing. glowing skies.
Gay melodies to charm the ears and
playthings for the eyes.
And yet. tho English lands are fair and
English flowers are sweet,
The threads of love from Maoriland
are twined about our feet.
For all our hearts are in the South
howe'er the course is set
A man may kiss a winsome maid and
count her stranger yet.
A man may walk through wonder
towns from London to Dundee,
Yet hold his town the fairer town.
however small it be!
And he may take it as a creed and
know it to be good
This manly pride in things of home
which makes for nationhood.
The pride which wells up from the
heart and flows from hand t.

And turned it southwark to the Bluff

USERS OF CALOMEL
Says Drug Acts Like Dynamite
On Liver And You Lose A
Days Work

There's no reason why a person
should take sickening, salivating cal
omel when few cents buys large
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, a per-
feet substitute for calomel.
1t is a pleasant, vegetable LIQUID
which will start your liver just as
surely as calomel, but it doesn't make
yiu sick an dean not salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone because it is per-
fectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug. It
is mercury and attacks your bones.
Take dose of nasty calomel today
and you feel weak, sick and nasusea-
ted tomorrow. Don't lose a days
work. Take a spoonful of Dodson's
Liver Tone instead and you will wake
up feeling great. No more bilious
mes, constipation, sluggish, headache,
coated tongue or sour stomach. Your
druggist says if you don't find Dod-
sons Liver Tone acts better than hor-
rible calomel your money is waiting
for you.

WEALTHY CHINESE y
HAS NOVEL TRIP FROM
THIS LIFE TO NEXT

There was pretty custom among
some of the ancients when a promi-
nent citizen died, to send his valet
along with him on the road to Para
disc, to insure this company for the
departed. But in the territory of the
China-American Trading Company
Ford dealers in Tientsin, China, they
have discovered much better aid to
the deceased over the rough places on
the trip to the Promised Land.
1t is a custom of the Chinese to
burn ceatrin kinds of effigies at the
funeral ceremonies of the rich, the.
more wealthy the departed the more
elaborate the figures burned over his
grave. These effigies represent every
manner of thing as human figures,
horses, sedan chairs, tables loaded
with money! etc. The figures usually
conform to some of these stereotyped
fashions, but at the funeral of Mr.. Lii,
who died a short time ago in Tientsin,
and who was very wealthy man,
the bereaved family -outdid them
selves and made an imitation of the
deceased gentleman's Ford car to be
burned at his grave.
This Ford effigy was made entire
ly of strong Chinese paper stretched
