1t seemed to me that was the ugliest

moved IN me- She was very good to
me- She kept the books very straight

happy. One day, however, the seat

The Hero of the Hour
France was In need of men. The
war was getting worse every day.
The French were giving out before
America came to help them; this was
the cause. There were Germans In
every village, many people had beeI1
killed, many were now dying; then the
Germans were winning, killing and
capturing. Belgium was burning and
bleeding. In France before the war
broke out there was an American
family, with an only son, whose name
was Americas. He had Joined the
army and was now fighting in France
on the very front line. One night,
while the Germans. were QUIET and
still, it was his duty to find out what
they were going 10 do. He crept out
of the trench and IN No Mans Land.
The information that he obtained was
that the Germans were going to at
tack. They made preparations and
early next morning the attack began.
Cannons reared. gums shot, but the
French held their ground. The night
came and they were gased by the
Germans There was no time to lose
for the Germans were going to cap
ture their trench. "I have but one life
to give, and that is for France" said
with the flame of victory
in his eyes. Then out of the trench
into No Mans Land they fought.
Americas was in command. BE was
and later died in the hospi-
tai. But he had given his life for
France.

This condition rcfutes the argument
put forth by liquor dealers for udver-
Using purposes, that available stocks
are SO low that there is likely to be II
drought even before the war time pro-

argument has been that no whisky has
been made since shortly after tho
United States entered tho war. and that
great quantities have been purchased
and stored away by people In all the
wet states in anticipation of the dry
times to come.
Revenue officials attribute tho indi-
Gated surplus TO the high prices which
are being charged as result of the
war taxes. Under the recently enacted
revenue act. the tax on whisky is
