A HUNDRED PER CENT AMER.
CAN

p, Sergeant Alvin c. York is acclaim
cd Americas greatest world wa
hero. His name is known from on,
end Of the country to the other and
being white man, no word of prais,
has been withheld in his behalf. H,
well deserves all that he gets.
But the other day, down in Okla.
homa, there went to his happy hun
ting grounds an Indian by the name
Of Tommy Blind Woman, who during
his obscure life since the ending of
great war until his equally obscure
death, told with pride that he was
the first red man to cross the Rhine.
This Indian boy, only 81 years old
when he served his country so brave
ly, was valuable scout to the Amer
leans, and due to his primitive in
stincts was able to make his way
through the enemy unoticed. He
served in the Aisne-Marne, st. Mihiei
Meusse-Argonne and Vesle sectors
until the signing of the armistice.
Because of his ability and bravery,
his valor action and stoicism under
fire, he received the greatest honor
the nation can bestow, congression-
al medal.
His most notable deed was the cap
ture of seven of the enemy, entren-
ched in shell hole with machine
guns. Nine men were assigned this
duty, but all were killed or wounded
on the way, and this Indian obeyed
his superior officers orders single
handed. His rifle is in a Washington
gallery, kept as a record Of the pa
tz-iotism and excellent service of one
native 100 per cent American.
This boy belonged TO vanishing
race and his zeal and courage win
never obtain the admiration chat is
accorded 10 white men. Imbued with
the blood Of warriors who spent their
lives fighting off the invading eau
casian, he served nobly the cause of
a race that reduced his people TO a
mere fragment Of humanity.
The Indian brave goes to his lone
some tomb with few citizens know
ing aught Of his great deeds. He
sleeps now IN an old quiet Indian
cemetery, hidden deep in the quiet
woods among others Of his tribe, and
we who owe him so much viii prob /

Wynn Points to Events on July
 20 as Proof

Chesham, England, Aug. 19 R)-- There were plenty of world stirring events on July 20 to justify his fore cast of some great disaster, says the Rev.

 Here are the great happenings which the Rev. Mir. Wynn points to:
 Felix A. Dzerzhinsky, who as head of the Russian cheka. or secret police, was charged with having exc cuted countless persons. died. and historical consequences followed.
 The French franc fell to level ii had never reached before and gravely affected French politics.
 Serious controversy in Mexico over the religious regulations.
 On that day chaos linked Great Britain, over the coal strike: France, over the financial situation. and Mexico. over the religious situation, he asserts.

 Myers who was considered a rank outsider at the beginning of the play in the tournament, proved to be the sensation of the club. He battled his way through the ranks of favorites right up to the finals.
 His match with V. Benson. broth CT of the club champion, was one of the best ever seen on the club courts. Myers dropped the first set f-6 but he came back 10 take the next two 6-1 and GO. He should certainly prove to be strong con- tender for honors in the future.
 The New Britain Tennis club has now plans in the works for the hold ing of the annual city championship tournament which will be open to players in New Britain. Details on this will be worked up in the near future and announcements on regis tration and other items will be made as soon as plans are perfect ed. The tournamc mt will probably be held next month.

"According to Hoyle"

The expression according to HOyle"
refers to Edmond HOyle, a writer on
games, who was born in England in
1872. Little is known about HOyle's
life. Tradition says he was educated
for the bar. At any rate, he went to
London, where he spent much of his
time writing on games and giving les
sons in card playing, especially whist.
He published book in which he syste-
matized the laws and rules of whist, a
game on which he was considered an
authority. His name became proven
bial as an authority on games.
Playing a game according to HOyle"
came to mean playing it fair and ac-
cording to the recognized rules. HOyle
died in London in 1769.--Kansas City

B. & o. THIRD POULTRY CLUB
Organization Will be Located in New
Castle County to Aid Farmers

That New Castle county is to have
another B. & o. Poultry Club, to be
established by the B. & o. Railroad |
Company, in pursuing their CONNER
cial and agricultural development pol |
icy, seems to be a fact. This an
nOuncement was made last week by |
Ed Willim, Jr., county club agent, af- !
ter visit by E. B. Baugh, agricul-
tural agent of the railroad. This will
make three poultry clubs started un-
der the auspices of this company
within the same number of years.
These three clubs are maintained with
the cooperation of the B. & o. Rail-
road, the Extension Division of the
University of Delaware and the New
Castle county Farm Bureau. This
club will be somewhat different from
the two others formed in the county,
according to Mr.. Baugh, when he
made this offer for his railroad. From
his statements, the railroad will furn-
ish ten early Matched, high-grade Bar
red Rock pullets and one cockerel to
ten boys or girls in some rural COM
munity of the county. In former
years the railroad furnished high
grade Matching eggs or an equal num-
Der of high-grade, day-old baby
chicks. By giving the club members
this six to eight weeks old stock, it is
believed that they can carry this
number through the summer to the
laying season without further loss.
The railroad wants every club mem
Der to have ten laying birds with
which to start the flock management,
when the birds mature and are ready
to lay about November /. Last year,
Frank Andrews, of the Middletown r
& o. Poultry Club, raised AZ baby
chicks out of 55 given him by the
railroad. He is now the owner of this
large flock of chickens which seem to
be making considerable money foI
their young owner. Mr.. Willim says
that the community in which this new
club is to be placed has not been Sc
lected. He wants to put it in local
ity which, hitherto, has been little
touched by the Extension Service in
the county.

Ii Makes a Difference

Your success in life depends on your
motive. There is an old fable about
a dog that boasted of his ability as
a runner. One day he gave chase tO
a rabbit but failed to catch it. The
other dogs ridlculed him on account
Of his previous bOasting. His reply
was, "You must remember that the
rabbit was running for his life, while
1 was only running for my dinner"
The incentive is all-impOrtant. Ii
you are in the race merely for your
dinner you will not put the same vim
and energy into your running as yOU
will if your ambition is deeper and
more serious Get the right motive
and your chance Of success will be
much greater.-BostOn Transcript

The Warning One

On the plains Of the West thousands
of cattle may be seen grazing as one,
They move slowly. feeding as they go,
their heads pointing in the same direc'
tiOn. Occasionally among the hun.
dreds there will be one individual that
ignores the custom Of the others and
feeds where it will. The cattlemen
have learned through experience to
look to such an animal for the saliva
tion of the rest in times of emergency.
When wild creatures attack or sudden
storms break, the solitary feeder is
one to give warning or lead the herd
to safety-COrnelia James Cannon in

Care of Umbrellas

A shabby umbrella will spoil ar
otherwise perfect outfit. A much-used
umbrella soon shows signs of wear.
When this happens, it is a good idea
to open the umbrella and sponge it
with strong sweetened tea. The tea
freshens the color and the sugar i'm

An umbrella that has been dropped in
the mud and cannot be cleaned by or
binary brushing is best treated in the
following way: After greasing the
inside wires to prevent them rusting
the cover of the umbrella should be
scrubbed with warm, sOapy water. Il
should be rinsed in clear, cold water
