FINDS HELMET
BURIED ON
BATTLEFIELD

George May, member of the famous
"Lost Battalion" and now head Of
the music department Of Hardin Col
lege, spoke at the meeting of the Lee
gion Thursday. MI. May was in
France this summer and related his
visit to the battlefields. Four years
ago Mays outfit took a German dug
out and a field marshal's helmet was
among the spoils.
It was heavy to carry when added
to the other "impediments" and May
buried it, expecting. to return for it
at a later time. He was gassed and
never returned to the line at this
point. This summer, four years lat
er he returned to the spot and found
the helmet just as it had been left.
This particular trench line had thus
far escaped the reconstruction work
and was practically the same as be-
fore, except that it had overgrown
with grass and weeds.

Or voIl can use clarified molasses, honey, or. corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup. Either way, you make a full pint more than you can buy ready made for three times the money. It is pure. good and tastes very pleasant.
