From the Boys
MAJOR GENERAL SUMMERALL
Mrs. Maggie Suiter of this city is
in""rbceipt of the following letter of
commendation which her son, Orris,
sent to her. Orris was among the
first volunteors to go from Denison,
and he has seen considerable service
in France, as a member of the 42d di
vision, 84th infantry, which is so high
ly commended for service rendered.
A number of other Denison boys are
also members of this same division,
whose names are as follows: Percy
Cavett, Wm. Wearmouth, Lawrence
Zea, Ed Flahive, Leo Miller, Frank
Wilken, Burness Bouslough, Eliphulet
Stock, Lester Caswell, Grover Tuck
er and Wm. Marshall. Some of the
boys have been severely wounded and
are now in hospitals in France, sev
eral have returned to the United
states where they will receive care
and treatment necessary and one has
paid the supreme sacrifice in t'his
great cause. Denison people have
just cause to be proud of the record
made by our soldier boys in whatever
capacity they were called to serve.
The letter follows:
Prom Commanding General, Army
To Commanding General, 42d Division
U. S.
Subject: Service of 42d Division with
V. Army Corps.
1. Upon the termination of the ser
vice of the 42d division with the
army corps, I desire to express my ap
preciation of the manner in which por
tions of the division have performed
the missions assigned to them. In
particular I wish to commeud the fol
lowing unit::
.The 84th Infantry Brigade:
.This brigade, under the command
ot
Brigadier General Douglas Mac Ar
thur, has manifested the highest sol
dierly qualities and has rendered ser
vice of the greatest value during the
present operations. With a dash,
courage and fighting spirit worthy of
the best traditions of the American
army, this brigade carried by assault
the- strongly fortified Hill 288 on the
Kriemhilde Stellung and unceasingly
pressed its advance until it had cap
tured the Tuilerie Ferme and the Bois
de Chatillon, thus placing itself at
least a kilometer beyond the enemy's
strong line of resistance. During this
advance the enemy fought with un
usual determination with a first class
division and in many cases resorted
to hand to hand lighting when our
troops approached in his rear. The
conduct of this brigade has reflected
honor upon the division, the army and
the states front which the regiments
CAXDG.
The 67th F. A. Brigade:
This brigade has remained contin
ually in action since the entrance of
the division into line, and by self-sac
rificing dovotion to duty and the high
skill of its officers and men it has con
tributed greatly to the success of all
operations.

THE RIGHT NEWS WILL HELP
•For many years the countries of
North and South America have been
handicapped in their efforts to get to
gether by the fact that there was a
news se(rvlcie wholly inadequate in
scope and unsatisfactory in character.
Judging by the news that passed be
tween the American nations, the Latin
Americans spent all their energies on
revolutions while the chief occupa
tion of the people of the United States
was the development of scandals. Now
that the Associated Press has estab
lished a South American service, it is
to be hoped that we shall learn a great
deal about Latin-America besides its
occasional riots, and that our neigh
bors to the south will 'become aware
•that we have here an Immense indus
trial organization that desires to en
gage in trade with them. Of course
the news service will be limited and a
process of selection will determine
what Jtind of news shall pass between
the two continents. In the process of
selection, individual judgment as to
what constitutes news will have a
large measure of Influence. The new
Associated Press service will be watch
ed° with interest to see to what extent
It is superior to the service that has
jbeen maintained in thepast.

THY WILL BE DONE.
(In memory of Mrs. Earl Winans.)
At last Oh Lord, thy will be done
'Tis all that we can say,
Our wife and mother thou hast called
To live-in Endless Day.
Husband, children, parents dear,
•Brothers and sisters all,
Her relatives and many friends
Have felt Thy gracious call.
No more her gentle voice we'll hear
We'll see no more her smile,
Her footsteps too, are silent now,
We'll miss her all the while.
Her willing hands are folded now
Across her peaceful breast
Her life work here on earth is done
And she has gone to rest.
A gentle loving wife was she,
A mother good and kind
A truer christian ne'er could be,
A truer friend to find.
Today our hearts are wreathed with
pain,
Our sorrow's hard to bear
But God who doeth all things well
And knows our every care
Will surely roll the clouds away,
If we'll but trust His love,
And lead us through whatever path
His wisdom shall approve.
—Mrs H. T. Reinier, Deloit.
8UNDAY SCHOOL N0TE8
Side Light* en Next Sunday's
Lesson far Teachers and Pupils
Edited by Charles K. Meyers,
Feb. 2.—The Giving of the Manna.
Exodus 10 1-36.
Our lesson this week will continue
certain history of the Children of Is
rael during their wanderings in the
wilderness. It will be remembered
that these were a people which we
now know as Jews who had been
slaves in Egypt for many hundreds of
years and were now being led out
from bondage under the leadership of
Moses who had been divinely sent to
do this from God. In two previous les
sons we have learned that two great
miracles had been performed for the
benefit of these God protected folks.
Because of the death of the first born
in every Egyptian home they had been
allowed to go out free, and later pro
tected from recapture by the death of
the Egyptians who followed them, into
the Red Sea.
With the lesson of today we are in
formed further as to the history of
these renowned people. What they
did and what they said might be of no
particular interest if these had not
been specially written down for our
benefit and as warning to us in our
life here on earth. On looking back
at how the Hebrews acted during their
years in the wilderness we think them
ungrateful, unfaithful, weak, childish.
We wonder how people could act the
way they did after receiving so direct
evidence of the personal interest of
God in them, and having His promise
to protect and lead them in safety to
a land flowing with milk and honey,
there to have a permanent home. As
Pilgrim's Progress portrayed so vivid
ly the life of a person flying from a
life of sin to one of faith and trust, so
does the history of the Children of Is
rael in the wilderness bring out so
many of the frailties of human nature
in a way to warn and instruct us in
our day and generation.
It might be well to turn from our
wondering why the Hebrews did so fool
ishly, to wondering why people do the
same thing now. It is a subjefit of
wonder how one of sane mind living
in a truly christian land can scorn at
the bible religion. Every blessing and
privilege held dear comes from the
teachings of Jesus. Yet the people
about us go on unappreciative of God's
goodness. One can again wonder how
one knowing of the condition of
things in heathen countries where
horrible cruelties to men, women and
children prevail, r'"l insists that "one
religion is as good as another," and
turn a deaf ear to the appeals of the
ministers of Jesus. One again won
ders how folks who have good health,
opportunities, live happily, have the
blessing of christian living, go on from
year to year unheeding the bible com
mands, tho words of Jesus, the teach
ings of Paul. I may have wondered
from the lesson and so will turn back
to it.
When one calls to mind the enorm
ous work upon our government to pro
vision tho troops called to the service
they can realize that the Hebrews out
in a desert land soon began to feel
the need of good food. Although God
had thus far cared for them, and they
had the promise of His continuing to
do so, the Hebrews began to murmur.
They bewailed that they were not as
of yore beside the "flesh pots of
Egypt." If they had in masses gone
to the Lord in prayer about thejr con
dition there would have been no trou
ble, but they expressed their thoughts
in a series of murmurlngs and regrets
at being not in their former enslaved
condition. They are followed in our
day by folks who cannot appreciate
the blessings of God in giving them
salvation, but look longingly back to
animal pleasures, sensualities, as the
more enticing than living In tho soul
satisfying light of the loving protec
tion of God.
Just do not forget about those "flesh
pots." I am sorry to say there are
many about us who are willing to sell
their birthright to heaven for a good
dinner like Esau of old, who cry for
the.stinking le,eks and onions of sen
suality, rather than Godliness.
History tells us that God heard the
prayers of the true men of the He
brews and provided them with food.
It was In the form of a seedlike white
substance now known as "Manna,"
which must be gathered up each day
and cooked. Quails came in flocks
and were captured and dressed for eat
ing. This supernatural method of
feeding continued right along until
land was reached which would pro
duce food. A point is made that the
manna was not ready prepared food,
but re quired the labor of those who
wanted to benefit by it, and that this
shows that we must make use of tho
physical things about us, the laws of
nature discovered by science, and not
expect to open our mouths .like the

baby birds to be filled. The Hebrewa
could not make the manna but could
the things to eat from it, and this they
had to do. It was one of the peculiar
ities of the manna that it would not
keep but ono day except that gathered
tho day before the Jewish Sabbath,
and that would keep two days as none
fell on the Sabbath.
It will be remembered that Jesus
spoke of the feeding of the Hebrews
with manna and likened the spiritual
food He could give to that. He added
that the folks who ate manna died,
but the support He would now give
would keep the receiver alive spirit
ually forever. The kind Jesus gives
Is the kind you and I want.
REDUCING FOOD COSTS
The food production organization re
sembles systems of producing manu
factured goods as these existed 100
years ago.
,In those days there was little concen
tration of manufacturing in large
establishments. Products were most
ly turned out in little workshops. Many
things were made In people's homes.
There was little division of labor and
little machinery. Wages were low,
but production cost high.
When manufacturing was concen
trated in large workshops with division
of labor, use of machinery and syste
matic organization, production costs
were reduced, although labor cost
more.
Would It be possible for a similar
reduction in costs to be made in the
business of food production
The land is scattered, so the work
ers can never be concentrated in any
one place. It is usually cut up into
small individual farms, so that pro
duction is not organized on a great
scale.
Some people have always contend
ed that the work could be done with
greater efficiency, if corporations
would obtain control of large tracts
of land and operate them with gangs
of men somewhat after the style of
factory production. This seems pos
sible. Yet it lias not been satisfac
torily tried out except in some locali
ties like the great farms of the north
west wheat belt. Conditions there are
exceptional. These tracts can be
worked according to standardized
plans better than the average small
farm.
Alao the single small farmer, know
ing every foot of his land and famil
iar wi'ih its possibilities and treatment
by long experience, would have a cer
tain advantage over the corporation
attempting to operate a large group of
such farms. Individual ownership
gives a man incentive to do his best.
The owner of the small farm might
get quite as much out of his own acres
as the corporation gang that might
work more scientifically, yet with less
ambition and interest in the results.
A wise farmer starts his new year
right by paying for his favorite coun
try newspaper a year in advance. Ev
ery issue carries advertising that will
help him to save the price of the
paper for a whole year.

THE FASCINATION OF FUR
Furs have always had a tremend
ous fascination for women. Now they
are telling us of one coat for a society
woman costing $75,000. The girls
must even have fur in summer. The
dumb beast, through some gift of evo
lution, sheds his long hairs when the
sun climbs. The girls of the period,
when the thermometer ascends to the
nineties, still buries herself in furry
stuff built to shelter a shivering beast
exposed to zero weather.
High prices prevailing in the fur
trade have stimulated trapping and
shooting all over the country. Bur
lington, Vt., the center of a fairly well
settled community, ships 75,000 musk
rat skins a year. In towns the life of
poor Kitty is no longer safe.

old famous Sage Tea Recipe, improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
are sold annually, says a well-known
druggist here, because it darkens the
hair so naturally and evenly that no
one can tell it has been applied.
Those whose hair is turning gray or
becoming faded have a surprise await

applications the gray hair vanishes
and your locks become luxuriantly
dark and beautiful.
This is the age of youth. Gray
