TheStory Lady

The next morning after the sun
shine fairy visited Patty the children
woke to find the rain pattering against
the window. The change in the wealth
er made Patty's throat, worse and she
couldn't get out of bed. She was a
very dismal little girl when the other
children left for school. But mamma
fixed her fine breakfast andNtold her
such long fairy story that she fell
asleep.
When she woke she sat up in bed
and rubbed her eyes. The sunshine
was streaming in at the open window
and bird was singing in the lilac bush
outside. And there was something
else in the window, something that
glittered in the light and made lovely
colors on the wall.
Mamma called it a prism but Patty
said 1t was the sunshine fairy come
back and 1t made her so happy that
she began to get well at once. When
the children came home for dinner Pc
ter was 4he first to spy the beautiful
thing in the window.

THE FRIGHTFUL COST
WAR TO FRANCE.

A statement made by Captain
Tardieu in the chamber Of depu-
ties should give the world a more
adequate idea of the frightful
losses sustained by France in the
war.
Fifty-seyen per cent of all
men with the colors under 81
years Of age were killed, said
the captain who further stated
that the French losses constitut-
ed 26 PER cent of all the men mo-
bilizcd.
These figures take no account
o. the number of men injured
beyond hope of recovery, 14ou-
sands of them helpless for life,
Perhaps we may better under
stand the significance of these
statistics if we apply the percent
ages to our own army. Grady
county furnished approximately
200 men for the fighting forces
of the nation and Of these, accord
ing to the best information OBJ
tainable, not more than twenty
We're called upon to pay the last
full measure of devotion. If our
boys had suffered as heavily as
the French more than 600 Grady
county families would have
mourned the loss of sons.
Is it any wonder that the
French people should be eager to
enter League Of Nations to
prevent the repetition Of such Il
tragedy in the future9

Now don't jump to the conclu-

We are not going to do anything

all the four-flushers who thought

but it was the duty of somebody
else to do the donating-we bury

He has been for the war, the
president and soldiers as loyally
as any man in Washington and
he has never missed an oppor-
tlGiey of rendering the soldier
boys efficient service not only
during the war but since their re-
turn. He is and has been, their
loyal and true friend.
Although comparatively a
young man, he is leading figure
in national governmental AFFAIRS
and leader of the democratic1
