Let us recall the training we were

with gray matter that will cause re-

governed by the mind and do so much

All of these are qualities which go

In 1914 an American woman, Fran
ces Wilson Huard, watched hundreds
upon hundreds of refugees stream
along that road toward Paris.
Four years later little group OF
American canteen workers were ID
Chateau-Thierry watching an ever-mov-
ing procession in the other direction.
The town for the possession of which
so many American lives had been laid
down was safe at last; so safe that
the ever-cautiOus authorities asked for
women to run a Red Cross canteen
there, and thus ii came about that
little group of us were able TO follow
our own troops into the famous village.
We set I'D our kakhi tent on the lawn
of the chateau and from there we
saw the whole panorama of war go
by. 1t was a strange sight to women,
an uncomfortable sight, IL one could not
feel that in some small human way
one was of service. But our canteen,
with its huge sign American Red Cross,
drew troops from the road as a honey
pot draws flies; and with the villagers
who had come home, we were almost
as popular as the fountain across the
way. So we came to know that we
were of use-a stimulus to that weary
/ but indomitable fellow, the poilu; a
/ kind of cross between diversion and
oracle to the villagers: and, best OF
/ all, a bit of home to our own men.
Gee" young artilleryman said tc
me one day. you're from home, aren''
you? But l don't suppose you come
from Indiana" For the first time II

estly told him that / came from In

From our duties at the marmites
cache or counter, we could look on
upon the cross road and the fountain
of the little village, two years ago un
known to most Of us, now an unforget
table word in American history. Fo
us who have been there, II is an evel
more unforgettable memory.

Inspect Iron Boxes.

Special attention should be given 90
the iron boxes in the hubs in the iron
wheels of plOwS. planters, cultiNaiurS,
hay rakeS and similar tools. "heSe
boxes are replaceable and can easily
be removed by unScrewing the large
nut on the outside of the wheel that
holds these boxes in place. When THIS
mt is removed few taps of the ham
mer will usually drive the box out OF
the hub and new one can easily be
inserted. These boxes are NUMBERED
so that it is not difficult matter to
obtain duplicates from the local imple-
ment dealer. However, it may be nee
essary TO order these from supply
houses in distant cities, and 1t Is al
visable to attend to this matter at
once. so that the new boxes can be put
/ in the wheel before the tools are need
ed for next springs work.
Repairing Axles.

yersed and turned upside down, OF
they can be replaced with new axles
Where this is impossible, they car
oftentimes be repaired by using Bah

After the implement has been thor
oughly overhauled and repaired,
should be given a good coat of paint
If the old paint is gone or badly worn
