plorable disasters, of our trip
happened. The trains bearing
the "138 Field Artillery and the
49," Ammunition Train, both q
part of our Brigade, were travel
ing behind us. The train bearing
the 1873" stopped at q little town,
and because the 113" train car
ried no head light, and had very
poor brakes, it ran headlong into
the other train. Both trains were
completely demolished, more than
a score were killed instantly, and
sixty or eighty so injured that
they would never completely re-
cover. 1t was a severe shock to
us to thus lose our good brave
fellows. But it was War, and
we steeled our hearts for the
time when possibly our own
company should lose its men
our best friends.
A few hours ride brought us to
the little village, Ploermel. There
was not room for us in the Amer.
ican camp farther west, so we
were quartered in this village
for two weeks.
Next week l shall tell you Of
our stay there.

Agricultural Notes

It seems that the farmers Of
the south really mean to reduce
the cotton acreage this year, at
any rate they are going to raise
more hogs and grain which will
be much better than depending
entirely on cotton.
Rankin county affords the best
opportunity for hog raising Of
any place in the world. Feed can
be raised cheaper and climatic
conditions afford better advarl-
tages here than most anywhere.
We have access to, two coed
markets which gives an outlet
twelve months in the year.

EDUCATIONAL COLUMN

Now the fighting has ceased
the principal work Of the Red
Cross is Reconstruction; looking
after our disabled soldiers, and
the Junior Red Cross. The aim
of this last organization is to
train children for citizenship.
How any community can fail to
have a Junior Red Cross Auxil-
iary is hard to understand. The
work of the Junior Red Cross has
come to stay. It reaches into
future generations in its influ-
ence. The Health Crusade being
carried on now means future
men and women will be strong
and well-not as we are-an easy
prey to /, preventable disease.
Health and sanitation are being
studied and practised by millions
of children in America through
the Junior Red Cross. People of
Rankin county should demand
that their children have equal
opportunities with others and re-
quire the teachers to carry on
this crusade.

sewed on to our coat, on the left

WEIGHING FINGERS
LEADS To CLAW|N'
AND COURT ACTION

Tom Irving. who is red -haired, Is
years old, and independent of George
Irving, his father, wiggled fingers from
the end of his nose at May M. Kahrs,
the father stated yesterday in Judge
De Souza's court. when confronted with
charge of assault preferred by his
son. Mrs. Kahrs, who weighs but 50
pounds, according to witnesses, alight
ed from the taxi in which she was rid
ing with Toms father, and according
to the statement of another witness,
went aclawin' at him.
There ensued a scuffle in which Mrs.
Kahrs is alleged to have struck the
red-haired son over the arms with a
purse until her money fell out and
dribbled over the sidewalk. The father
then took hand, according to wit
nesses, among whom were Harry
Eagan, assistant principal of the
Adams school; L. f. Butler, the young
mans employer. and John WEIGH, 702
North Second avenue. Eagan testified
that the father chased the son through
pool hall and struck at him just as he
escaped to a room in the rear
Welch on cross examination said that
his attention was wholly attracted to
the affair by the rattle of money on
|.
Cunningham that to one who had been
soldier in France, the rattle of money
is eloquent.
Tells of Approach
The next witness was Louis Porterie
He said that he first saw Mrs. Kahrs
approach Tom Irving and call him a
stool pigeon and when she got into high
with her conversation, she was difficult
to follow. But stool pigeon" he said
was tame compared with some of the
other things he heard her call him
Then George Irving came up and Tom
deserted the scene for the rear of the
building, George following and striking
at him, one blow landing on the left
shoulder. Under cross examination the
witness manifested familiarity with
different kind of blows; he differen-
tiated between the slap and the blow
Asked as to the rapidity of this blow
he said: Il didn't hold a stop watch
on that blow. As to his qualification
to testify, the witness said that he had
