FRENCH VINEYARD FOR YANK
Douehboy Who once Saved His
Daughters Life.

A former American doughboy who
has gone back to his home in New
York city and WHO Is probably think
ing Of the long. cool drinks that could
be had In France, Is going to hear good
news, says Bordeaux dispatch TO the
Stars and Stripes. According to the
will Of Leon Ponce, wealthy vine
yard owner who recently died. the for
mer doughboy Is given the ownership
Of one of the vineyards.
Think of that. In dry country,
and probably longing for a drink of
something besides water-to be made
owner of vineyard. The lucky sol
dler Is Sergt. Harry Turk, who lives
at 945 Tiffany street, New York city.
According to the story told here,
Turk, who was member of the For
ty-seventh Coast Artillery corps, was
stationed In camp on the Gironde.
During the celebration of the armls-
tice, girl fell into the river and Turk
with difficulty saved her life.
When he brought the girl to the
shore the populace surrounded him
and bestowed kisses upon the cheeks
Of the blushing sergeant OF artillery.
He managed TO escape the barrage and
few days later refused the offer of
a large cash award. His outfit re-
turned to the States, but the deed
lived In the mind of Leon Ponce,
whose daughter. Lily Ponce, was the
one saved from the Glronde. When
he died and his will was read, the act
was rewarded. NJ. Louis Signanon,
lawyer of Bordeaux, has sailed for the
United States to inform Turk of the
Request. The vineyard is valued at

BOTH PARTIES N GOOD LUCK
Passengers In Auto and odoriferous

Of Onset there suddenly appeared
black and white pitch The machine
approached the spot at a fast rate and
as IL drew nearer the mass straight
ened out into line across the road.
There was gasp Of establishment
and Of dismay. also, for the black-and-
white mass proved to be mother
skunk leading four little ones across
the street. They were moving very
slowly, so slowly indeed that II was
impossible to stop the car before 1t
reached them.
Admonitions of Don't hit them"
were not necessary TO the driver Of
the machine, but he was wondering
how he was going TO miss them. As
luck would have It. the mother skunk
just then separated herself from the
four little ones and the machine
passed right over her without harm
ing a hair OF the odorous animal.
The passengers. looking back, saw
the mother polecat huddled In the
road, while her offspring had turned
and were streaklng It across the high
way and over the railway tracks into
the friendly bushes. They were right
In the path of an approaching trolley
car, but negotiated the retreat with
out a casualty. Probably the unharm-
ed but dazed mother rejolned her lit
tie flock later. Had the auto and the
skunks met In collision It must have
cast a gloom over subsequent pro-
ceedings for the car and its cargo

serving under the American Relief ad-
minlstration and have conducted food
kitchens and distributing stations In
all parts of Poland outside Warsaw.
In all the relief work being done In
Europe, that OF the Polish Grays has
been unique because all the girls,
though sent from America, were either
born In Poland or are Of Polish paren-
tage. When the need for social serv-
Ice In their country became acute
many girls Of Polish descent answered
the call of the Young Women's Chris
tian Association for overseas service
and enlisted In the preliminary train
Ing course that was given In several
cities of the United States. From this
group thirty girls were chosen and sent
to Poland where, since 1918, they have
been caring for the children of the
country. The distribution Of clothing
has taken them into all parts of
Poland.
They are now spending their entire
time In arranging for the feeding Of
children this winter. Groups Of them

The Time Of Heather.

The moors are purple with heather
or--more strictly speaking-with ling,
for by this time the real bell-heather

Heathers OF different kinds inhabit
the high moorlands all the world over,
In America, Africa and Asia, as well
as In Europe. Our own ling may be
seen flourlshing In Newfoundland and
also I'm New England.
Most people regard heather simply
from the aesthetic standpoint, and
never give a thought to Its varied uses
But every year there is much cutting
OF heather for the purpose of broom
making. Heather again, is an excel

The Paris (France) post Of the
American Legion has started n drive
for FIVE millionfranc endowment

made upon it daily by eX-service men
who are stranded, and by their famil-

busy helping former vets who were
sick, Strengthening out legal tangles,
securing employment and helping the
stranded to get passage home.
The Paris post is obviously barred
from utilizing the usual method of
raising funds by entertainment for the

peal TO the outside. The American

The answer to one and all of these

of paper money that goes out from

the government to the extent of its
face value. If 1t is gold or silver
certificate the metal which was placed
in the treasury for it's redemption is
