A home gardener in Bluffton, Ind,
finding the city market oversupplied
with locally grown early tomatoes last
season, advertised in the local papers
and sold his entire crop to farmers,
who came to his place at the edge of
town to purchase for their own use.
These farmers were busy with their
field crops and neglected to plant ear.
ly tomatoes for home use.
Thus the city gardener supplied the
farmer with food while the farmer
was producing the corn, wheat and
hogs to feed the worlds population.
The city gardener was doing his pat
riotic duty by helping with produc-
ton through the limited means at his
disposal
Every pound of food grown on the
land available for this purpose in
cities and towns adds just that much
to the total production of the country.

When Vas Old
MQenuerck0r
Organised Here?

An old Richmond institution which
has gone is the Maennerchor.
The Maennerchor was organized in
1856 in a room over Fifth and Main
streets, with Prof Tisch as the first
director. 1t f1ourished and grew be
fore the Civil war, but when that con-
flict broke out il suspended meetings.
In 1866 the organization was re-
sumed, and the next year the first
Saengerfest was given, the Cincinnati
Symphony Orchestra being brought
here as an added attraction. AT that
time the society was in home of its
own on North Seventh street
The old fire station house on the
south side was the next place of meet
ing. 1t was used for several years.
The name was later dropped.

A LITTLE SLICE OF LIFE.

- A LITTLE SLICE OF LIFE.
Eyes, SIR" said a friend of mine
AS we walked along the street,
THE present high price
OF liquor is a great thing
1t is so high that man has to be
A millionaire to accumulate
Any sort of a package.
l can remember the time when
Anybody could get drunk,
Whisky was that cheap.
Even a poor man could go out
And celebrate.
Now it is a rich mans sport,
And it is the greatest thing
That has ever happened to the
Masses in this country.
Liquor is out of reach
OF the poor
Just then we turned a corner
And we met the raggedest bum
We had ever seen
Leaning up against lamppost
And talking to an imaginary horse.
His breath was fatal
AT forty PAGES, and
He asked us for a nickel ~
To get just one more drink
Between the British and the Iris

spend most of his time in France.

favor of the Allies. We were in the
| thick of the fight for those three
days and then took part in the coun-
ter-offensive of July 18th. We went
forward through Chateau Thierry to
Courmont where the Boche stood
and it took four days to drive him
out. From there on to Sergy and
Seringes, where one of the bloodiest
scraps took place that American
troops participated. Sergy was taken
and retaken nine times before 1t
finally remained in our hands. l had
| probably the most thrilling time in
that place l ever had. Every time
our infantry attacked / took up two
machine guns and placed them in a
cellar. the window of which was
! flush with the ground and command
fine view of the main street up
which the Boche had to come. Each
time the Boche drove us out we had
to cart our guns out too. The last
! time the Boche attacked he came in
from three sides and We had no way
to get out. All we could do was to
| lay low and pray. Fortunately he
did not have time to search the
| houses or else he would have had
us but he had all he could do to
strengthen his defenses. In about
| two hours our infantry attacked
again and finally drove the Boche
out entirely. much to my relief.
From there we went forward
through Coban, Dravegny, meeting
! little resistance until we hit the
! Nesle River in front of Fismes. 1t
was twenty-one days before we could
get across that stream and we lost a
lot of good men during that time.
| This brings us up to the first week
| in September We finally were able
to cross the river and it was on the
outskirts of n little town called Bas-
lieuX that a Boche sniper put bull
let through the calf of my leg. 1t
! was just a slight scratch and just
necessitated first aid dressing. I
don't believe l mentioned this be-
| fore. On about the Sth of Septem-
ber the division was relieved and it
was on that day before that l got
my dose of mustard gas. We left the
line and hiked for two days back to
Chatillon- -sur-M Marne where we were
loaded into trucks and came through
to Vassincourt "a little village north
of Bar-le-Duc, which is about fifty
kilos directly south of Verdun. We
were there for four days and we
thought we were going to get fine
rest when we got orders to move
again. My leg was stiff by this time
and [ couldn't bend it and the gas
burns were bothering me, so at the
end of the first nights hike which
took us to Nabecourt 1 knew it was
only question of time before l was
carried back. so I decided to go to
the hospital While l could still walk.
l was sent to Evacuation Hospital
No. 8. at Vaubecourt where l met
Chaplain Booth and from there down
to the base at Beaune.
That covers, I think, as we'll as
know the history of my tour of
France. There is a whole lot of it
that | want to see before | go back
to the states. / hope to get leave
I when | am relieved here to get down
on the Mediterranean and see what
it is like. The address of this place

The story of daring machine gun
and infantry fighting in the final
campaigns that led to the defeat of
the Germans in France is told by

nephew of State Librarian Thomas
Lynch Montgomery, to his father.
He says the army had July
Fourth celebration every night and
his part in the counter-oftensive of
July IS is as full of thrills as one
Friday, Nov. 30, 1918.
Dear Dad:
This coming Sunday is to be
Dads Day" in the A. E. f. when
all the boys are supposed to write
to their fathers describing their ex-
periences. AS the censorship regula-
tions have not permitted us to say
anything of interest heretofore, l am
going to take advantage of the lift
ing of the ban and shoot you an
earful so YOU can tell what has been
happening to your young hopeful
since he left the shores of Gods
country.
We landed at Liverpool on the
18th of May. l think it was. We
were in Liverpool for about thirty
six hours and were then packed on
trains and went across England to
Folkestone, which was quite a sea-
side resort on the Channel before
the war. The trip was made across
England during daytime and also
the most beautiful time of year. We
stayed all night at Folkestone and
from there went to Dover where we
embarked and landed at Calais n
couple of hours later. We then went
to what the British call n rest camp
why. heaven only knows, and that
night, our first in France. we were
treated to our first experience of air
raids. We stayed in Calais three
days and were then treated to our
first experience of riding in box
cars labeled "Hommes 40 CherauX
s." We Travelled all day and night
and landed at place called Henne-
veuX which is about 10 kilos from
Boulogne. 1t was there that l went
to Il British machine gun school.
We were there two weeks and then
hiked three days to Hesdin where
we entrained and rode two days and
nights to Nantouillet, which is about
80 XII os outside of Paris and on the
outskirts of MeauX. We were there
about ten days and always had a
July 4th celebration every night, as
it was the time when the Boche
planes bombed Paris and they flew
directly over us, both coming and
going. From there we went in
Camions, known in the states as
auto trucks and in England as lor-
ries to Artonges. which was directly
behind the line in the Campagne
front.
In this particular sector the Boche
line was on one side of the river and
the Allies on the other. We then
started taking our regular turn in
the line by relieving the French.
Everything was pretty quiet at that
time as everyone was waiting the
coming of the Boche offensive.
Trench warfare of that kind is not
SO bad. AS long as you are careful
and don't expose yourself you are
all right.
On July II. however, things took
different turn. The Boche laid
down his barrage at midnight and
came over at 4.30 a. IN. You know
of course, what the result was and
it really was that scrap. officially
known as the second battle of the
Marine. which turned the tide in
