GOOD MONEY FROM BAD EGG
Jim Buckley Finally Proved Truth Of
Saying That He Was Fond
of Repeating.

'aThar amt nothin' in the world but
10 good fer somethin'" is one of the
favorite sayings of Jim Buckley of
Bear Lake.
Buckley is thrifty soul. He farms
In summer and traps in winter and be-
tween wheat and furS he is growing
rich. One morning his wife was cook
ing breakfast. She broke a rotten egg
into skillet and was starting toward
the door to throw it away when Buck
ley stopped her.
Woman, don't throw that egg
away" said Buckley.
"But it's rotten" protested his wife.
Makes no difference" declared the
philosopher. "Tkar amt nothin' in the
world but"
James Buckley" exclaimed his
wife, "I've heard that a thousand
times"
The wolf never shifts at the doors OF
the prosperous farmers of the Peace
river country. But foxes are different
animals-here is something you don't
know-rotten eggs are rated as an cpl
cureau tidbit in vulpine menus.
That night Buckley set trap in
poplar grove near his home and baited
it with the rotten egg. He hoped to
catch a red fox or perhaps a coyote.
But when he went out to his trap next
morning, what do you think he found?
The biggest silver fox Buckley ever
had clapped eyes on. He sold the pelt
in Peace River the other day for $346.
ga right nice lot o. money to hatch
from rotten egg" remarked Buckley,
as he stuffed the money in his pocket.
"Tve alters allowed that thar amt
nothin' in the world but is good fer
somethin'. "-Chicago Post.

night fixing guns on the battle HELD
in range of the enemy, and repairing
artillery put out of commission.
Later assigned as the Second Am
erican Corps with the Fourth British
Army" the unit took part In all ar
tillery actions north of ST. quentin
and, after putting up" the heaviest
artillery concentration during the
war, they hammered the Hindenburg
line on September 20 at st. quentin
tunnel with the German railroad cen
ter at lie Cateau as their objective.
The Twenty-seventh and Thirtieth
American divisions were in this battle
and were badly mutilated. After
DAVIS of gripping struggle, the German
line gave way and the boche in that
sector commenced his never-endlng
retreat.
"The Allies, just at the time the
arnlistice was signed, were preparing
their largest artillery and centering
troops for the greatest attack OF the
war, but it was called off by the
truce" said Captain Underwood. eff
the Germans had not called for the
sponge they would never have lived
to tell the tale, for the greatest as
semblage of weapons and men in the
history of the world was being de-
signed with view of putting an end
to the whole business and wiping out
the Huns"

BROUGHT BOY TO HIS DAD
the Young Soldier and Of Course
They Succeeded.

Dad was from some little town near
Cincinnati. He had come all the way
to indianapolis to see his boy, his only
son who had been away from home for
four years. The boy was in the army
and was being transferred. He was to
be in Indianapolis on Sunday and
wired his father to meet him. Some
how. father and son missed connection
in the union station. Dad decided to
appeal to the women of the Red Cross
canteen booth.
Il was to meet him here" dad said
HE hasn't shown up. I know he's in
indianapolis somewhere"
The canteeners got busy. Dad and
his boy had to be brought together
First the canteeners summoned the
military police. They got deserip
ton of son. The M. P.'s started out
to find him. The canteeners also start
ed scouts. They visited every down
town corner and haunt of the soldiers
An hour later the canteeners looked
up toward the station door. In came
dad and his boy-arIn in arm.
IT did just as you told me-" the ia
Their said. "You told me to so uptown
and stand On that corner. You said
he'd pass there. and pretty soon he
did. The military police kept coming
by to ask if / had a trail of him. And
then he came. My. but he was glad
to see me !"
Of course he was glad to see him
The boys smile told how glad he was
to see his dad.-Indianapolis News.

Local Boy Mentioned In
Camp Meade items

Camp Meade, Md, Jan. 23-Con-
spicuous at the only contingent from
the First American Army yet to re-
turn to the United States, the Sec
ond Heavy Mobile Ordnance Repair
Shop, of two officers and 131 men,
arrived at Camp Meade late last night
for rehabilitation late next week.
The company repaired heavy artil-
lery on the battlefield under fire of
the Germans during the laundering
of the Hindenburg line, which final
ly broke at St. Quentin.
The unit also is probably the first
to return to America with the same
personnel and command with which
it went over. 1t is headed by Cap
tain w. T. w. Underwood, of Read
ing, Mass, and is in tact except for
the loss of AZ men and an officer. Re-
pair and maintenance of the big
French "Howitzers" and large rail
road mount guns was the company's
assignment and every man in the or
ganization is a specialist in his line
expert electrical engineers, mach
inists, mechanical engineers and
even mathematician fill the ranks.
A number are college men and Joined
the company when it was organized
at Camp Hancock, Ga. All are pick
ed men and were called for this unit
after they had enlisted.
The unit sailed for France July /
and from Anger, where the company
overhauled for action a number oi
eight-inch howitzers, it was assigned
Immediately to the First and Second
American Armies, though detached

Clothes and Eats. If you don't have
the first, you'll be arrested; without
the second, arrested metabolism sets
in. Either is far more fundamental
than buttons, certainly.
Then see how closely things to eat
and the things women wear, for in
stance, are related. Why even when
you begin exercising your Webster
on either subject you automatically
slip into using the same words and
expressions. For example: when a
woman like Mary Ann in her new
squirrel coat has the knack of dress
ing so she's easy to look at, we say
she has Good Taste in dress. When
that same woman gets into an apron
and starts dolling up salad to look
appetizing, she is said to be Dress
ing the salad. We have Styles of
food and Styles of dress. Parsley and
pimentos are as much in the young
life of a chef as plumes and percales
in the career of woman.
The front row accellerators in a
musical comedy chorus are affection
ately referred to as Broilers. When
a spinster takes to bombaZine and
bonnets she is called an Old Hen-not
necessarily a Tough expression,
either She can probably recall the
time when she might have been re-
ferred to as a Chicken. And then
we have the Candy Kid and the Sweet
Girl Graduate who is all to the Gravy
despite the Chilly-Sauce look she
hands out occasionally.
Say what you will in describing Ex-
teriors and you slip into the cate
CORY of culinary terms. The one
strange circumstance is that while we
prefer new styles of clothes to wear,
we all have a preference for old
fashioned things to eat. A woman
will make a much faster Decline
and so will for a slice of bread
like mother used to make, than she
will for the kind of bonnet that moth
er wore to the circus back in the
seventies.
We were trying this same line of
lingo on Mary Ann the other night
and getting over lot of New Stuff.
But she wasn't even bit niffed.
When we ran low on Unabridged Gas
she opened her cut-out and spanked
sweetly:
you're toasting only one side of
the bread. Sauce for the goose is
also Mayonaise for the gander. Have
you forgotten your Boiled Shirt, your
Salt and Pepper suit and those Ice
Cream trousers you soiled last sum-
mer when you sat on a BURBERRY
pie? Try some of your own Verbal
Cooking for change. I know lot
of men who try to get themselves all
Garnished up to make hit and for
all their trimmings they look like
Pudding Heads when they get
through. When a mans face hasn't
Jelled properly whole Bouquet of
Parsley in his button hole won't make
him fit to serve. Supposing you Hash
that over for a while and you'll find

Letter From a Mother
Who Believes in Honesty

To Evening Caledonian:
Kindly publish for benefit of st.
Johnsbury children.
Is Honesty the best of policy IN
this case?
A young boy went into a store in
st. Johnsbury recently and purchased
some goods. The store-keeper gave
him too much change, and after
counting his change he handed back
ten cents. The store-keeper told
him to go and not bother him. The
child returned repeatedly to the store
keeper and tried to convince him
that the change was wrong, after
counting up, he taking the ten cents
from the child.
Imagine the store-keeper not up
holding honesty enough to give the
child some recompense. If we wish
to plant the seed of honesty in child
hood why not practice what we
preach.
Thanking you in advance, =
Respectfully,

And sticking to TRUTH as my duty,
You never had much of bean.

That called for the utterance ooh, mani"

UNDER TWO FLAGS

The national flag stands for liberty the red flag
represents intolerable oppression. The national flag
stands for equality of opportunity; the flag Of Boil
and crushing than the autocracy of the cars ever
was If the victory of America and her allies
wrought at such expense upon the battefelds of
France is to be translated into its true meaning for
the free peoples of the EARTH Bolshevism in all its
guises must be rooted out. Every time the red flag
Of anarchy is displayed the act is an act of defiance
It symbozes the preference individual or some
group has for Boshevism over liberty In this coun-
try it is an invitation for such unreasoning autocrats
as Lenne and Trotzky to transfer their Infamous
activities from Europe to America It advertises
belief on some ones part that Trotzkysm is prefer
able to AmericanisIn.

The cost of these operations
would be approximately one cent

cents for the baking, based on d
