Americans could develop = division
such a. the First division. The work
of its infantry and artillery is worthy
of the best armies of the world"
What Palmer Says.
The achievements Of the First d.
vision were many, and many cases
were never heard of back of the
fighting line. But 1t. Col. Frederick
Palmer, war correspondent, has this
to say about the First division (Col-
lier's Weekly, March %, 1919:
Since my return home l have
been asked if Belleau Wood was our
most brilliant action. One answers: ::
Brilliant in what respect? In battle
efficiency In courage? For at the
front we thought of divisions only
in terms of efficiency. I should place
in even higher esteem than Belleau
Wood the drive of the First and Sec
ond divisions toward Scissors in
July and possibly still higher that
drive which the First was now to
make general attack in the Ar
gonne of October ~. We had a
dozen Belleau Woods in the Ar
gonne."
And continuing in the same article
he tells of the First division in the
Argonne:
Il think that possibly when the
First division went into the Argonne
battle it was the most efficient
American division that ever wore
shoe leather. And Summerall in
command! He had led the First in
the drive toward Scissors. He is
leader compounded of all kinds of
fighting qualities, a crusader and a
calculating tactician, who, some say,
can be as gentle as the sweetest
natured chaDlain. while others say

and a good country. Let the rich
and poor mix up their friendship
together, and not try to crush
the weak because we are strong,
for the strong can fall on a level
with the weak. 1t is the man
who falls in a financial way in life
and gets up again in a honest
way who should have hu. " for
his combined efforts anu sue
cess, and not he who heirs his
fortune by a will etc. So let US
be careful not to boast of our
wealth, unless we come by it
honestly, as we will all be on an
eq nal when we die. The beauti.
full Ozarks is a good place to live
and die; lots of good, common,
friendly people, and land cheap.
| have been in Indiana over
three years, but | like being at
home again, and will close my
letter with a few verses, as time
and space will not permit me to
write more. but | trust this let
ter will be read with interest by
some, at least, and the poetry al
so, with profit to them.
OF course, it is pretty hard TO
live up to our duties, when there
are so many ways that seem
more easy to live, and one who
borrows trouble thereby places a
mortgage on his peace of mind.
Don't get discouraged, it will be
no help to you. The best philos-
ophy is a contented mind. The
best education is self.knowledge.
The best medicine is cheerful
ness and temperance. The best
war is to war against your faults.
The best mathematics is that
which multiplies the most joys
and divides the most sorrows.
The best law is the golden rule.
Then let US
Strive with an earnest purpose
In every task to excel;
That which is worth the doing
Is worth doing we'll.
Where there IS the will for winning
Surely the way will come;
That which is worth beginning
Is well worth being done.
Think that however humble
Tasks which around you lie,
Half. harted work will ever
Yield but poor reply.
What's the use of worrying:
Worrying doesn't pay.
What's the use of hurrylng!
That's the slcwest way.
Half the whims that worry you
Do not ever come true,
Then why let them worry you
Aa they daily do?
jolly the one who is down today,
Give them a smile for their sor'
rows;
AS the world sometimes has an
unkind way,
And you may be down tomorrow.
Smiles cost less than electric
lights
And make the home brighter.
He who smiles and laughs away
The little trials of life today
Will live to smile and laugh away
A greater trial another day
Live for those who love you,
And for those whose heart is
true;
For the Heavens that smile above
you
And the good you may do.
Loving Kindness
Ye know, dear friend, the Bible
says
That you must always do
To other people as you wish
To have them do to you.
Wait not till tOmorrow's sun
Beams upon your way
To do a good and cheerful deed
That you can do today.
A kindness brings us sunshine,
1t brightens up our way;
1t helps us bear the hardest pain
And drives dull care away.
| A kindness, how it cheers us;
1t makes the weak feel strong;
1t brightens up the lonely heart
And makes the day less long.
It's like the birds sweet music
And fills the soul with JOY;
And makes this life worth living

Society Week In Abbeville.

Society week in Abbeville started
off with great eclat yesterday, many
novel and interesting affairs being
given by the leaders. Among the
particularly unique parties were as
follows:
Mrs. C. d. McMurray entertained
eight ladies at a Mystery Party. Each
lady brought photograph of her
self taken when an infant, which
when exhibited produced much laugh
ter and delight. The mystery was,
how so many fat dimpled babies
could turn out so-well that is the
mystery. During Mrs. McMurray's
party her guests hemmed towels, a
dozen or more which will be contri-
buted to the hospital.
Mrs. Ringan Thomson had a most
useful and enjoyable way of enter
tanning her guests: a dozen linen
doilies were hemmed for the hospital.
Miss Helen Edwards entertained
her guests at a 'tFive Cents" party
Each guest was given an opportunity
of testing her ability to "touch, taste,
see, hear, and smell"
Mrs. C. C. Gambrell's idea of a
real Hospital Party was good. A list
of diseases were given each guest
who were expected to give a diagno-
sised treatment.
:!.:cS Maggie Brooks old fashioned
dance We; -,robably one of the most
enjoyable and as the number of
guests numbered several times eight
Miss Maggie is entitled to attend a
party a day during the week.
The parties planned for today are
especially interesting and include a
party for the Girls of the 60'c by
Mrs. E. C. Hemphill, a mother and
baby party by Mrs. D. T. Smith Jr.,
and Townsend Smith, 3rd.
On Thursday, Mrs. Frank W. Will
son will entertain at a Housekeeping
Party.
Mrs. M. T. Coleman is planning a
Palmistry Party for Thursday night
and expects number of young peo-
pie from the surrounding country.

lowest actual flying time between

ed. Pearson's time was forty-eight
hours, thirty-seven minutes and six
teen seconds for the round trip, prac-
tically ten hours less than that of

B. w. Maynard's record even after
subtracting the eighteen hours May

EXTRAVAGANCE AND CONCEIT.

| The man who said conceit was at
the bottom of every extravaganza
knew good deal about human ma
ture. Few men would pay 81 for a
tie that did not look as if it cost $4
and factory girls who are buying
$500 fur coats on installments out of
salary of SIS week care little for
such a coat if the only place they
could wear it were in an asylum for
the blind.
A modern philosopher says, II
conclude that dissatisfaction is a
common human ailment and that I
might as we'll be unhappy with what
I have as unhappy with that I can't
afford"
Thousands of Americans are dissi-
pating their savings in extravagant
purchases purely through conceit.
And it is blind conceit which de-
ceives no one but the extravagant
themselves. When a man goes into
a store to buy a Sc hat which he can
afford and comes out with a $16 hat
which has forced him to break into.
his savings, he does not impress the
clerk who sells it or his friends who
see him wear it. But he has injured
them all and himself also. He has
aided to divert production from nee
essities TO- non-necessities, he has
helped keep up prices, and has with
drawn potential capital from possible
use in increasing industry. For. him
self, he has weakened his defenses
against old age, sickness and loss of
employment and depleted his often
sives in the battle for success.
Failure to save is too high a price
to pay for the pampering of conceit.
The only safety against extrava-
gance lies in thrift and saving. Lib
erty Bonds, War Savings Stamps and
Treasury Savings Certificates may
not make flashy show, but they are
more impressive than any extrava-
CANT possession money can buy. They
afford protection to savings, future
and character and are sure roads to
possession of the things really needed
and desired.
