(By DR.. James L. Hughes, in answer
o II Did Not Raise My Boy to Be Sol
lier," whose son was killed in action
ome time after he wrote these lines.)
God gave my son in trust to me:
Christ died for him, and he should be
A man for Christ. He is his own
And Gods and mans not mine alone.
He was not mine to give" He gave
Himself that he might help to save
All that a Christian might revere,
All that enlightened men hold dear.
To feed the guns! o. torpid soul!
Awake and see life as a whole,
With heart aAame and soul alight
He bravely went for God to fight
Against base savages, whose pride
The laws Of God and man de6ed.
Who slew the mother and her child.
Who maidens sweet and pure defled:
He did not 60 ito feed the guns;
He went to save from ruthless Huns,
His home and country, and to be
A guardian Of democracy.
what II he does not Gomez You say.
All, well. my sky would be more gray;
But through the clouds the sun would shine,
And vital memories be mine.
Gods test Of manhood is, I know,
Not viii he Gomez" but Ibid he go?"
My SON we'll knew that he might die,
And yet he went with purpose high
To fight for peace and overthrow
The plans Of Christ's relentless foe.
He dreaded not the battlefield;
He went to make fierce vandals yield.
If he comes not again to me
shall be sad, but not that he
Went like a mana hero true,
His part unselnshly to do,
Ny heart will feel exultant pride
That for humanity he died.
Forgotten gravel" This selfish plea
Awakes no deep response in me.
For though his grave l may not see.
My boy will ne'er forgotten be.
My real son can never die;
IT'S but his body that may lie
In foreign land; and 1 shall keep
Remembrance fond forever, deep
Within my heart, Of my true son.
Because Of triumphs that he won,
1t matters not where any one
May be and sleep when work is done,
1t matters not where some men live.
If my dear son his life must give,
Hosannas / will sing for him,
Fen though my eyes with tears be dim.
And when this war is over. when =
His gallant comrades come again,
I'll cheer them as they're marching by,
Rejoicing that they did not die.
And when his vacant place l see,
Ny heart will bound with JOY that he
Was mine 80 long-my fair young son
And cheer for him whose work Is done.

THE SEVENTEEN

Many farmers in Ohio County
have spoken of seeing great num-
bers of the cicada, or seventeen
year locusts on their farms and per-
haps the following article by Prof.
A. r. Middleton, professor of Bot
any at the University of Louisville,
will be of interest to our readers:
Eggs are deposited by the adult
near the bottom of the tree trunks,

small grubs within a few days, and
the grub works its way into the
ground. IL bores out large cham

The grub lives on the tender roots

during its seventeen-year stay in

ty it works its way to the surface,
climbs the trunk of tree and pro-
ceeds to cast its shell. 1t emerges
usually at night, and after lowering
on a branch for time to allow its
wings to dry is ready for flight.
"The life of the cicada is short; !;
it seldom lives for more than six
weeks. After reaching the winged
state the insect feeds on foliage, Of

the South the insect takes from
thirteen to seventeen years to de-
velop, and in the North 1t reaches
the fight stage in from eight to sew
enteen years.
"The female is dumb, but the
male makes singing noise by
means of a set of muscles beneath
its wings"
No apparent damage has yet been
done to the foliage by the pest.

The gas fields Of Eastern Kentucky
md West Virginia are rapidly becom-
Ing depleted and West Virginia has
recently enacted a law prohibiting the
transportation of natural gas out of
that state. The future of the oil in
dustry Is fixed and IL has established
itself as the greatest money-making
Industry Of the age.
The plans Of the Equitable OIL and
Gas Co., are comprehensive. Apart
from oil production, they propose to
Install '-Casing Head" plants and pro-
duce enough gasoline as by-product
to pay all operation expenses.
They propose TO supply natural gas
to all the surrounding cities within
n radius Of seventy-ilve miles-they
have already pipe lines to Dunmor,
Lewlsburg and Russcllville.
For the production of oil they have
approximately twenty-five thousand
acres of leases and two drilling rigs
already on the ground. Their plans
also contemplate the installation of a
modern refinery. This is said to he
the safest and most profitable branch
of the oil industry. With so many
chances Of profit failure would seem
Utmost impossible.
The First Oil We'll.
The story Of the finding Of the first
oil well in Kentucky is well known
and has many versions. One version
is that a man drilling for salt, to his
great conservation, struck oil.
Contrary to,the advice Of the oldest
Inhabitants this man persisted n drill
ing for salt in an unprom!sing spot.
He swore that he would dig until he
found salt or hell. One day he found
his salt dlggins in flames. IIe thought
he had found hell, and raising hell not
being IA popular pastime In Kentucky,
he stood not upon his order of his
leaving, but left at once for parts un-
known. We repeat this story as an
evidence of the changed attitude of the
oil industry. Today man thinks IL
Is hell to strike salt.
The Oil Banquet at Louisville.
Another significant Indication Of the
change in sentiment toward the oil
industry in Kentucky is banquet thar
is to be given by the Board of Trade
to the oil men, recognizing this indus
try as one of immense importance to
the state.
For the benefit Of those interested
the Equitable Oil Co. have Just print
ed souvenir booklet, "An Interesting
Story of Hidden Wealth" 1t contains
complete history of the discovery
and development of the Diamond
Srr!Ags-FfefCl. a copy OF this book, we
understand, may be had for the asking
so long as the edition lasts. 1t is full
of exceedingly interesting and valu-
able information, and will prove de.
cided addition to the library of the
man or woman interested in oil.
