CAMP MERRITT. X. J., April %
And they want just three things.
Yes, after spending eighteen months
over in France, all the time under
heavy gunlire, and continually max
ing tours Of the battlefelds to rescue
the wounded, eighty-three District
field hospital boys ask for only three
things.
And now that you are home, just
what do you want mOst?" The Times
reporter on board the transport Le-
viathan called out to the District boys
just two minutes after the snip
docked at Hoboken, n. J.
And what they answered was
First-Just a glimpse of the old
home firesides.
Second-A job.
And third-A glimpse of the faces
of the many Washington friends and
relatives they left behind. when they
went to fight for humanity back in
November, 1917.
Arrival Inspiring.
1t was an inspiring sight. the ar
rival Of these District soldiers. The
Leviathan docked at exactly 6:32
Just two minutes later The Times
found the 165th Field
Hospital Company, 1l7th Sanitary
Train, Forty-secOnd Division (this is
the present designation OF the Dis
trict until "way down" almost at the
bottom of the boat. They were crowd
ed. On their backs they had their
packs. eve need no notice to leave
the ship" they said. See our packs?
We're ready"
And while the District men waited
patiently below, Major Henry J.. Saw
telle, former assistant District Health
Officer, Of BOIL Eleventh street north
west, secuted through the boat to
hurry the movement Of his unit.
Just above the dock. where the
District men were, a band was play
ing. Just outside the boat. on the
pier. was a second band, also playing.
And still a third band could be heard.
But what cheered the boys most

was the voices of the thousands oi
people on both sides OF the Hudson
calling "Welcome Home" repeatedly
until their voices became hoarse.
Finally the order to move came
They were brought to &C" deck. One
by one the boys filed down the gang
plank. Some were smiling. Others
were frowning. A look OF bewilder-
ment appeared on some faces. And
still others nearly fell down the
plank in their hurry to leave the
ship.
1t didn't take long to get the boys
into a waiting train and shoot them
to this camp. And at 10 o'clock last
night taps was sounded and the
boys were off to bed.
But before leaving the ship the
boys gathered around a Times re-
porter, and told him a few of the
things the District boys did in the
war.
Summed up, the story told by the
excited hospital boys is as follows:
"Yes. were glad to get back. Did
we Tight? Well, no; not exactly. I'll
tell you how it was:

were a hospital company, they gave
us the job Of helping care for the
wounded men. Well. we went to
France, and arrived there about No
vember .. There wasn't much doing
then. You know we couldn't care for
wounded i'm our division unless the
men had been fighting. 1t didn't take
them long TO send US to the front.
And when they did. we were given the
job as first-line hospital men.
Our work was hard. We worked
mostly by the dark of night. After a
battle we would be given orders to
gather wounded men and bring them
hack to the hospital. This was hard
work. Many times we woulG get a
wounded man, bring him back on the
stretcher, only to rave him cuss us

States Department of Agriculture
have demonstrated that it is much

Speculation

II q speculator buys actual food
products snd stores them until they
are needed, he of course performs
service entitled to some compens-
ton. The modern storage ware.
house has had a wonderful effect to
stabilize prices and tide over periods
Of scarcity.
There always should be enough
in the warehouses to provide the
people with all products until the
nextl crop is available, and a
surplus beyond that point, if hand
led with public interest in view. is
helpful. 1t has a notable effect to
keep down prices, if it is known
that there is reserve that can be
drawn upon. However, the amount
of goods that can be stored should
be strictly regulated 1t may be
possible by combination to hold
back vast quantities of foods. and
produce an apparent scarcity lead
ing to extortionate prices, at time
when there is an ample supply.
While it takes intelligence to run
a storage plant successfully, yet the
labor and difficulties of it are small
compared with raising the crop.
The stroage man should not assess
a heavy tax for his service.
The principal argument alleged
in behalf of food speculation. is
that it provides a market for the
farmer through which he can get
what his goods are worth. Were it
not that a great body of men are
always bidding for and buying and
selling his product, he would very
often have to sell out at a very low
price and get so small a reward fol-
his work that few people would
care to 60 into farming.
That argument is perfectly good
in so far as it goes. But the diff.
ference between what the farmer
gets. and what the consumer OF
even the retailer has to pay, is sc
great as to suggest that the speculat'
or is being tremendously overpaid
for this service of stabilizing price
| levels.

Good Judgment

The wise man Solomon remark
ed a long time ago that if a man is
to have friends he must show him
self friendly; and it might be said
now that if a man is himself a
good neighbor he is mighty likely
to have good neighbors-as a rule.
On this point we recently ran
across an interesting farm story,
fresh from the prairies of the West
The moral is one that cannot be
too often emphasized; and this is
the story:
/ They tell of an old grandma
who was sitting in front of her
home knitting in the sunshine,
when ian immigrant with covered
" sgon drew up his team and gave
them a rest and drink.
"Howdyr' spoke up grandma
Where you a going?"

was glad to get shet of 'em!
"Yes. but you'll find more just
like 'em where you're a-goin'."
And then grandma went on knit
ting.
A few days later another immi

up at the water trough. And agaiI

as to where they were Going ant

question of whether or not they di,

mistakes of life:
/. To attempt to set up your own
standards of right and wrong.
2. To try to measure the enjoy
ment of others by your own.
3. To expect uniformity of opin-
ions in this world.
4. To fail to make allowance for
inexperience.
S. To endeavor to mold all dis.
positions alike.
6. Not to yield to unimportant
trifies.
7. To look for perfection in ouI
own actions.
8. To worry ourselves and Others
about what cannot be remedied.
8. Not to help everybody, wherD
ever, however and whenever we can
10. To consider anything impos
sible that we ourselves cannot per.
form.
II. To believe only what ouI
finite minds can grasp.
IL. Not to make allowance fol
the weaknesses of others.
IS. To estimate by some outside
quality, when it is that within which

State Directors have been appointed

decided upon.
Meanwhile, responses to the call for
100000 volunteer workers to serve
during the coming drive are pouring
in by the hundreds to Red Cross
headquarters. Once a Red Cross
worker, always a Red Cross worker"
is the slogan adopted. Soldiers,
sailors and marines, some of whom
were in the thick of the fighting
overseas, are offering their services.
Many of these men will be utilized
as speakers to describe some Of the

by reason of the presence Of the Red
Cross in the field of hostilities.
During the first part of the cam
paign there will be house-to-house
canvassing for Red Cross member

but ON the last two days district lines
will be disregarded and former service
men as well as women volunteer
workers will take up their tasks with
rowing commissions. Not only are
discharged service men wanted as
Red Cross canvassers but State and
National Guardsmen are urged to
enroll as quickly as possible. The
| Red Cross welcomes assistance OF all
former Army and Navy officers and
men who approved of the work of the
Red Cross during the war.
Speakers and writers are being
