When it came to the brave young

had conscientiously hurried back
to report for duty, not even stay

In France private who was sick
and refused to drill was sentenc-

by exective clemency. Another
young soldier here in this coun-

the bedside of his dying father
was sentenced to death. He,
like the one mentioned above,
had voluntarily returned to duty
as soon as his father died. Ex-
ecutive clemency alone saved his
life. A private who went home
without leave to see his sick and
destitute wife and child was sem

brief it concerns a puzzled bride

The Value of IA Cover Crop.

This is the time OF the year that
the farmer who is interested in the
improvement Of his soil is thinking
about and planning for cover crop
for his land this year No farmer
can hope TO have cover crop on all

have some crop on at least a part OF
his farm, especially on those fields
that are likely to wash during the
winter or those that are low in fer
tility.

as follows:

the winter. and prevents washing
