Boys at Home Camps

From VIM. Murray

Toul, France, Dec. Ito Miss lla
Moulton: will drop line to let yol
know that | am still kicking, but as
the time draws near for me to go bach
to the U. S. A. l get powerful anx'
ious. Sunny France is getting toe
bustery and muddy for me, and
want to. blow my own bngle a while
l bet l blow pay day call at least once
a week.
Well, / had better tell you some OF
my experiences: On the 29th of Sep
tember l got shot, not half shot, but
shot. l tried to check bullet with my
helmet, but instead of that it checked
me, and as the boys were carrying me
out they ran into trap and it was
every man for him self and the devil
for US all. The stretcher bearers
parted and left me all alone and so
helpless | was that l could not crawl,
for my legs were paralyzed. But, say,
good luck did come in a very accept
able time even though 1t was the
enemy that found me, which somewhat
frightened me at first. They gave
me a helping hand and three of them
took turns about carrying me on their
backs 70 a distance of about two klio-
meters to the first aid, which was
away down in large shell proof
dug cut. l lay in there guess two
days, though l had no way telling in
there. | was laying on an old lousy,
dirty, bloody 1914 mattress made of
sawdust, without anything over me.
| had a raincoat, but they took that
from me, and as had had nothing to
eat for about two days | was very
hungry, indeed. l tried to tell them
/ wanted something to eat, but they
could nix compree; | wanted a drink
but nix compree. l tell you then was
when / would have liked to have seen
mother. After a long time they
brought me a slab. l call it a slab |
because it was made of sawdust.
am not kidding, it actually did have
sawdust in it, and what they called
it meant the same as bread. did
wish to God at that time that the bull
let had been little lower, for l
thought starvation had set in. Fin
ally, heard some Jerry say Amerikon
partee and they put me in an am
bulance, then / went to hospital
where they gave me a bowl of what
they called the same as we call soup
and another small slab. l stayed
there six or eight days. There was
another American there to my great
delight. HIS had leg shot off. He
said that we were up against the real
thing, for he had been there for some
time and they had done nothing for
him. Well, was there for six or
eight days. They changed my band
age quite regular, but never offered
to wash the blood off my face and
hands; l was blood from head to foot.
Then they sent me to Germany to
prison hospital. There was an Eng
lish doctor there who set me on my
feet, and as for eats l got large
bax from our old stand-bye, the Red
Cross, each week-food and clothes
and believe me l had begun to need
clothes, for mine had about all parted.
They had even taken my shirt; but in

GOOD BYE TO THE OLD, VEL
COME THE NEW

AS one begins to look back at the
sunsets he has been permitted to
behold, there is more and more of
mellowness in his heart. Every time
he sees n year go out and another
come in, his thoughts begin to be
lorg, long thoughts.
There is a sadness in the dying of
the old year. We know, alas, we
know, that it has gone eve to re-
turn. We know that we have had
many thoughts that we would like to
recall; we know that we have said
| and done many things that we would
| like to forget. We know that there
are many things in our lives that we
would not have ourSclosest friends
know and we grow more and more
| grateful in the assurance that there
is ONE who has promised to take all
| OF our misdoings upon His back and
in the end, if we will let Him, have
us stand innocent and justified.
The year 1913 has been fraught
with the greatest events IN the
worlds history since the crucifixion of
the Savior. Just think Of our being
permitted to live in such a period,
1t is grand. 1t is glorious. The
g!amor of it all stuns our intellects
We arc tco close to it to see it in al
its grandeur. The brilliancy, the lux
ury OF its events are binding to oul
eyes and we shall have to wait unit
distance and time give us a more
comprehensive grasp of all it means.

WHY TIE LAST DRIVES ARE
DIFFICULT

The drives now on for the Red
Gross and for Armenian ard Syrian
relief are difficult because some Of the
former drives, particularly the one
for the United War Work in which
the Y. M. C. A. was also urgently
stressed, have been o%verdone. The
fiat went forth from some imbued
with more zeal than Judgment in the
matter, and from others who had
not overlooked chat ever present and
ever disturbing old man, self, that
it was necessary to double the Y.
M. C. A. men now in France" because
the boys were not fighting and
hence needed a wet nurse all the
time. The absurdity of such a pro-
position reflected seriously on those
who urged it and was no compliment
to the boys. Yet it was allowed
to go unchallenged because the
patriotism of the country feared that
the cause in general might be hurt

The inspiration for this rot about
the price of cotton OF course comes
from the ghost of a political corpse
the gaseous fumes from which Liay
be pleasing to the nostrils OF those
who are tainted with socialism and
Bolshevism, but we arc thankful that
there are but few Of these.
t, We were of the opinion when the
matter of fxi1g the price OF cotton
was being discussed at Washington
that it would have been best for the
farmer to fix it, but had it been done
and thes price fixed at thirty five
cents, these same loggerheads would

ways goes down in price about Christ

determining factors in the greatest
triumphs of arms that humanity ever
saw.
The soldier boys that went out from
Grenada county have been wonder
fully spared. A kind Providence has
answered the prayers of the good
mothers and the fathers who have
daily petitioned the Throne of Mercy
to care for these boys and bring them
back. And now it seems that almost
all Of them are coming back, our
obligations as men and as citizens
are multiplied an hu~ndredfold. They
must needs show that they want to
live up to what they have been spared
to do.
In q personal way the year has
been good to the writer. Every year
has been good to us. AS the days
c.tner behind us, we can see rnirrorcd
in them all many mistakes. We hope
to grow in charity of thought and
action as we grow in years and we
trust that we may be of greater ser
vice to our fellows in 1919 than
ever before.
We wish that each and all of our
readers may gather, in the year 1919,
the most beautiful bouquets laden
with the richest fragrance and that the
aroma from these lovely flowers, as
It were, may be hope and %insiratior
to them so that in the galaxy Of al
the stars they have set in the heaven!
none may exceed in brilliancy thu
star placed there by their acts o
1919.

bye to 1918, it is gone. We welcome
the New Year. May an overrulins

WHAT IS PAID FOR ADVERTgS-
ING SPACE

Those who Guibble about the value
of advertising in a newspaper would
be startled to know what the large est,
most successful and progressive bust
ness concerns of the country pay for
space in some of the leading journals
of the country. Statistics recently
submitted to Congress show the cost
per page in many publications a few
of which we quote below:
Saturday Evening Post, $4,000.
Golfers Weekly, 5000.
Youths Companion, 1900.
Literary Digest, 1890.
D%elineator, $500. .
Cosmopolitan, 100.
Ladies' Home Journal 5000
Woman's Home Companion, $500
1t is also worthy of note that the
same statistics showed that the
amount of space devoted to aavcr.
Using is increasing year by year
thereby proving that those who used
it thought it was good and wanted
more. For example, on April Ii
1917, 81 per cent of the Saturday
Evening Post was used by advertisers
What is good for those who use
space in these publications should
also serve a good purpose for Miss
issippi concerns and for the bushes:
interests o Grenada.
