INGALLS, EULoGY OF GRASS

Lying in the sunshine among the
buttercups and dandellons of May,
scarcely higher in intelligence than
the minute tenants of that mimic will
derness, our earliest recollectlons are
of grass, and when the fltful fever is
ended and the foolish wrangle OF the
market and the forum Is closed, grass
heals over the scar which our descent
Into the bosom of earth has made and
the carpet of the infant becomes the
blanket OF the dead. Grass Is the for
glveness of nature-her constant ben
ediction. Fields trampled with bat,
tie, saturated with blood, torn with
the ruts Of cannon, grow green again
with grass, and carnage is forgotten.
Streets abandoned by traffic become
grass-grown like rural lanes and are
obliterated. Forests decay, harvests
perish, flowers vanish, but grass Is Inn
mortal. Beleaguered by the sullen
hosts of winter, 1t withdraws into the
impregnable fortress of Its subterrane-
an vitality and energies upon the first
solicitation Of spring. Sown by the
winds, by the wandering birds, propa-
gated by the subtle agriculture Of the
elements which are Its ministers and
servants, 1t softens the rude outline Of

CARAVAN KITCHENS" TO STAY
introduced as Wartime Measure In
England, They Have Demonstrated
Their Usefulness.

One Of the most successful wartime
experiments has been the caravan
kitchen, says a London (Eng) dis
patch.
Owing to the fact that so many
mothers had to leave their families of
young children to fend for themselves
while they went out to work to make
ends meet, Miss Horsborough con.
ceived the idea of catering to the
needs Of these children by means of a
caravan kitchen.
Assisted by three or four other won.
en-, she paraded the poorer quarters of
London, cooking en- route all kinds Of
toothsome and nourlshlng dishes The
Riddles came running out with thelr
plates at the blowing Of a tin trumpet,
and were served with a piping hot and
appetlzlng dinner in return for a
trifilng sum Of money, which had been
left with them for this purpose by
mother.
The fame of the caravan kitchen
soon spread abroad, and within short
space Of time was paying Its way, 49,
600 dinners u week being served in
one district alone.
SO successful has been this travel
ing caterer It is likely the work will
be continued on larger scale, and be.
come permanent institution, instead

Bird Welcome on Board ship.

Weary of wing and starved, a tiny
linnet allghted aboard the four-mast-
ed schooner Sophie Christensen 1000
miles from San Francisco, according
to Capt. Bob McCarron.
A tramp steamer was hull down on
the horizon when the llnnet reached
the schooner, and one of the theories
as to its long flight was that the bird
had been a pet on the vessel and,
yearnlng for land, had sought to fly to
the far-away shore.
Aboard the schooner is a canary and,
as though by instinct, the llnnet flew
to the cAge Of the canary, perchlng
precarlously while the schooner heaved
and tossed. Captain McCarron opened
the door of the cage and the lInnet
soon recovered. The canary welcomed
tho linnet and they are now chums

FARMERS ASKED
TO TAKE BONDS
Special Appeal on Behalf Of
Liberty Loan Issue is Sent
Out by Washington Repre-
sentative of National Grange.

Every farmer in America is en-.
pected to support the Victory Liberty
loan, says Thomas C, Atkeson, the
Washington representative OF the Ma.
tional Grange Patrons of Husbandry,
who has sent the following letter to
the officers of every farm grange in
The United States:
Victory Liberty ia the slogan for
the new loan, The drive is to begin
April 81, for the sale of six billion
dollars in Victory Liberty Bonds.
These two words visualize all that IL
best in American spirit. American
farmers must respond to this appeal.
What the farmers OF America did
in sacrifice and in accomplishment, in
food production and in bond buying
auring the war Is a part Of the record
1t is a war record Of which any class
may be proud II must be made good
now by meeting the obligations which
result from the outpourtng Of Ameri-
can strength which conquered the
enemies OF Liberty and civilization.
Time to Get Ready.
ut is time to get into this Victory
Liberty Bond campaign. No appeal Of
the war has gone unanswered to the
full limit when brought TO the atten.
ton of the farmers. Men, money,
wheat, other food-no matter what
the obstacles or the dlfficalties-th
answer has been full and certain. Tho
answer must be the same in this com.
Ing drive.
Millions Of soldiers must he brought
home; thousands OF sick must be cared
for; thousands Of wounded and mutt
lated must be made ready for future
usefulness. We armed a nation and
mobilized It's resources into war ma
chine OF such tremendous potential
power that our enemies surrendered
rather than face II, and thereby
months or years of fighting and thous.
ands OF lives. we're saved Now We
must pay the obligations created by

1t is the 22nd of November. This
morning we got up at seven 'clock
and left for the hospital where we had
an appointment with DIR. Selesnieff,
the military chief. When we arrived
we found everything in terrible con-
dition-more than four hundred pa
tents with only three doctors and three
nurses. Two patients had died during
the night, and the doctor had discov-
cred nearly all the living to be suffer
ing from diseases of different kinds
including two cases of typhus. We have
since learned that week or so ago
two men were put off the train suf-
fering from the same terrible scourge.
The hospital at the Doctors disposal
consists of three or four small wooden
buildings capable of holding perhaps |
two hundred persons at the most. When |
we arrived we found the patients lying,
in some cases, three in narrow cot,
the corridors crowded with bodies out
stretched on the cement floor, with one
for pillow and one blanket over them.
TO give an example, on one blanket
twenty one feet long eighteen men
were lying. In one room here, in
which there should be twenty patients
there are crowded fifty-two in all.
You can hardly walk through without
stepping on them. The sights and the
are over-powering.
DR.. Selesnieff gave us his official
export of the conditions, setting forth,
n correlation of the stories that have
'een told me, that during the weeks
hat the train had been moving to and
TO, passengers had died daily from a
'ariety of causes, including typhus,
lysentery, influenza and ordinary star
ration.

Lying right across the threshold wa,
the body of boy not over eighteen
or nineteen years old. No coat. merely
thin shirt, in such tatters that his
whole chest and arms were exposed
Tor trousers piece of jute bag pinned
around him, and no shoes or stockings
what agony that boy must have suf-
fered in the Siberian cold before he
died of filth, starvation, and exposure!
And yet diplomacy prevents us
from taking charge and giving aid.
But we are holding the train!
We climbed into the car and found
two other dead lying on the second
tier OF hunks amongst the living.
Nearly every man in that ear was
sunken-eyed, gaunt, and half clad.
They were racked by terrible coughing.
They had the stamp of death on them
II aid does not come quickly they will
die. We looked into few cars only,
but at one window we saw a little girl
perhaps eleven years old. Her father.
she said, had been modified into the
Red Guard. So now father, mother
and child are on that train and will
die there. DR.. Rossett is one of the
most beautiful characters that I have
ever known. When 1 saw him in the
car talking to these poor wretches and
trying to comfort them, I could not
help thinking of the Good Physician
and how He, too, labored among the

We left the car at ten clock, as we
had to attend to the distribution of
some clothing for the Austrian officers.
1t is possible that our interference may
