LOCAL CHAPTER INTERESTED IN SECURING ADDITIONAL FACTS ABOUT EARLY SET TIERS IN THIS SECTION
By D. R. R. Reporterl

We want to thank Mrs. Brown for the bit of history about the ar,;cration of her grandfather to this county in 1887. That is exact Iv the sort of information we want and we hope others will foiioW Mrs. Browns example
 Does Mrs Brown remember ever having heard the names of MOT d;ca Johnson's neighbor at La Cranoe and does she know where her mother went to school and tne cames of her teachers? Can she teII us anything about the buiiding of the first church in that neign- horhood and the pastors name and denomination Did her grand father bring his negroes from Mem phis to Helena by boat, then across country to La Grange or did ne come up the St. Francis from the Missssippi to the mouth of the J.,Auguille then up the LAuguiiie to the point nearest La Grange! Many landed at Phillips Bayou m tbe sixties and seventies, but do not know whether there was any settlement there as early as 1857. The Pillows, Jerome and General Gideon of Mexican war fame, the Folks, the Graves and num- hers of others from Giles county o1 Tenn invested in lands in Philips county from 1885 to 1S45. Some of these people never lived here themselves but their sons came later and they have many de- scendant here today
 Much land in this county was given by the government to so'- diers for services in the Revolution ary war and war of 1912. Few of these soldiers had any desire to come out into this wilderness tol occupy these lands so sold them often for 25 and 50 cents an acre.

Soldiers Should Keen Insurance

Discharged soldiers should not let
their government insurance lapse. If
they have allowed it to lapse, they
should apply to the local Red Cross
Home Service Section at once for in
formation as to the possibility of re-
instatement.
The insurance policies can be held
in their present form for five years
from the time our President officially
declares the war to be over. By the
end of that period it must be con-
verified into some regular form if the
insured desires to hold it. It can be
converted without further medical
examination fact which will en-
able many men to keep insurance
who could not take out policies in
private companies. AS soon as the
details for the plan of conversion
have been worked out, wide publ
city will be given them. In the mean
time discharged and disabled soldiers
should keep up their payments.

NORBERT WALL In THE
GRAND PARADE AT METZ
Was in the Picked Battalion Which
Was Reviewed by Pershing,
Foch, Joffre.

Corporal Norbert Walz, son of Mr..
and Mrs. John Walz, writes interest
ingly of his experiences in Europe.
A couple Of his letters follow:
Saarburg, Germany, Dec. 10, 1918.
Dear Mother:
We finally got to Germany. We
have been on the march since Dec.
5, making about 1875 miles since that
time. We first marched to Metz,
where a picked battalion of which l
was one paraded before Generals
Pershing, Foch, Joffre and the pres
ident of France and some more of the
higher-ups. From there we went on
thru Lorraine, then thru Luxem-
burg into Germany. The German
people treat us very nice and most
of the boys like it better here than
in France, but for my part they can
have all of the European countries
and send me back to the U. S.
We haven't heard anything Of
how soon we'll be going back but 1
yet-sorry to say.
I'm anxiousIy waiting for that
cake I'm to get for Christmas. I see
that the Red Cross suggests tooth
paste, brushes, shaving soap and such
junk. I think a soldier would be
awful sore if he got any of those
things. What they want is some
thing they can't get over here and a
cake made by mother is one of them.
Arlon, Belgium, Jan. 1, 1919
Dear Mother:
1t has been some time since I wrote
the last letter to you, the reason for
it is we we're on the march from
about the 4th of December till about
a week ago and the mail has been
tied up for quite a while. I have
done considerable travelling in the
last month. We marched from
France to Lorraine, then into Luxem-
burg, from there to Germany, and
from Germany into Belgium, where
! we are now. The town we are in is
pretty good sized place-about If
teen thousand inhabitants. The peo-
pie speak German so I am able to get
along a little better than I did in
France.
, Christmas here was abOnt as one
would expect it to be in the army.
We really haven't anything to COM
plain about, tho. We are eating we'll,
have a good place to stay and my
health is in perfect condition, The
place we are living in was a convent

| it for a hospital while they were
here. I am enclosing a few cards a
priest gave me. They'll show you
what kind of a place we have. We
have nice hunks, steam heat, gas
lights. What more could we want so
| for away from home?
I haven't received the Christmas
package yet but suppose it will be
along soon. Bertha has two on the
way to me too but I haven't re-
ceived either one of them yet. would
like very much to get them because
cigarettes and candy are a pretty
scarce article around here. If there
is any way you can get carton Of
Camel cigarettes to me, I sure would
appreciate it, There are lot of the
boys getting three or four packages
of cigarettes in roll of newspapers.
How would it be if you tried that
scheme?
I haven't heard any more about
this organization going home.
Well, write soon. l think I am
getting about half my mail.
Love to ALL Norbert.

Swiss Chard
BY r. w. WEsLER


Swiss Chard or. Leaf Beet is a crop
worthy to be grown in every home and
vacant lot garden. Planted In April a
Is or 20 foot row OF this vegetable will
produce a good supply of greens for
the average family from early sum-
mer until freezing weather.
Sow the seeds the same as the beet.
to which family chard belongs. and
thin the plants to or 10 inches in the
row. as soon as they start to crowd,
using the Trimmings for a good pot OF
greens. AS soon as the outer leaves
of the remaining plants get 10 to IL
inches long, they are cut off close to
the point of attachment at the base,
and the central part of the plant al
lowed to continue growth until again
large leaves are produced. when
again these are cut and used. Con
tinued cutting of the outer leaves does
not harm the plants and they will
flourish until October.
Some people strip the green leafy
portions from the thick white midrib
of the leaf. use those as greens" and
the midribs in the same manner as
asparagus.
Swiss Chard is easily canned for
winter use, and is successfully dried if
the thick midribs are split thin sc
they dry evenly with the leafy por.
ton.
AS greens" this vegetable is excel
lent, served with melted butter. bacon
! grease. or cream dressing in the same
way as spinach.

LAKE YARDS HOLD HONOR
(By Associated Press1

WASHINGTON, May 10. - First
honors in the building of ships during
the war was awarded today by the
Shipping Board to the Ninth or Great
Lakes district. Held by canal re-
strictions to a lighter type of vessel
than one built on the seaboard, the
district did not produce so many net
tons as other sections, but outstripped
all other districts in the number OF
ships. In one year it put into service
125 more vessels than were delivered
from all American yards in the year
before the United States entered the
war.
