scale as compared with the present,
but areas. population, and capital then
We're small as compared with now.

and longing-were ended when Pri-
vate Joseph F. Amen. marine veteran
of Chateau-Thierry, was reunited with
his mother, Mrs. Francis AMBROSE, at

was with the Army OF Occupation in

in a fit of anger when only three
years Of age, Amen was hidden among
strangers in the south. He grew TO
boyhood among these strangers not
knowing whether his mother was
alive or dead. His father has dis
appeared.
The lad later learned that his grand
parents lived in Italy. While serving
with the marines in France he wrote
to them. They informed him that his
mother was still alive and was living
somewhere in America" He ap-
pealed TO the Red Cross and was re-
warded shortly before he left France
when he was informed that his mother
resided in Reading.
After eaching New York Amen
was sent to Camp Mills. He received
twentyfour hour leave and immedi-
ately paid his mother the first visit
in twenty years.
Amen had no recollections OF his
mother and she had to be pointed out
to him before he recognized her.

We must profit by the lessons OF

We must not again be caught without
home grown seed. We must save
enough out Of this years crop to last
two years.
The 1919 com crop promises to be
one Of the largest on record and there
will be few farmers who will not be
Eble to save In abundance Of good
seed corn for their own use and to
sell to their neighbors.
We must bear in mind that next
years corn crop may be total or par
tial failure, and that we may not be
able to harvest any good seed corr
