Womtn of France
Respond to All
Patriotic Pleas
After their year* of suffering, grief
and privation the women of France
ar· still able to set a notable ana
pathetic example of courage to the
women of other war-atricken lands.
When the rationing of the import
ant food stuffs was announced re
cently for that country, the following
patriotic appeal was sent out by the
National Council of French Women,
typifying their noble spirit of endur
ance.
"These last months of the war will
be the hardest: French women know
It and bravely they will go through
the necessary ordeal. They will ac
cept all restrictions In order to ob
tain victory which will allow their
children to know the joy of life and
bénéficiant peace.
"Each of us must simplify lier
mode of life. Deprive yourselves,
economizo and you are working for
your country. Let those whose mate
rial well-being is assured set an exam
ple to render the hard privations of
the hour legg grievous to their sis
ters.
"Workwomen, like u«, you are
weeping for dear ones, like us you
hate war. It Is In order to render
war impossible henceforth, that we
must hold out to the bitter cud."

Marines Hunt Abators
CHARLESTON, S. C„ April 9 —
"Alligator hunting" has become the
popular amusement of the U. S. Ma
lines now In training at Paris Is
land, S. C., near liere.
While doing "police duty" on the
Island a few days ago, a squad of "sea
soldiers" saw what appeared to bu a
gray-green log lying on the edge of
a swamp. Closer investigation
caused the "log' to turn, and with a
mighty splash, a huge alligator lunged
back into tile swauip.
The Marines made a diligent searuh
for the 'gator, but failed to locate
it. After darkness fell, however, they
returned with sticks and clubs of all
sorts and proceeded to "beat up" the
swamp in true alligator hunting style
and finally succeeded in capturing and
killing the alligator.
The Incident caused a great deal
of excitement about camp and now
there Is an "alligator party' 'held most
every night.
So far three of the alligators have
fallen victims to the wily Marines.
Tractor V». Mule.
Ten mules can haul about two toils
of material and tlielr work Is limited
to ten hours, but the tractor hauls 25
tons und covers a distance of 20 miles
at the same time.

Mr. Trent show- Hei ( oiors. |
We certainly did have "some time '|
ivith Mother Trent, us Dick predicted.
When we arrived at lier room, she
kept us waiting for a half hour.
Think of it, little book, that old
,νοιηαη did not know that anyone but
lier son and daughtei were calling up
>n lier and she kept them waiting a
half hour.
When we at last were admitted to
iier room she seemed to sense that
something serious had happened. She
was all dolled up ij a lace negligee
ind a ribbon and lact cap on her dyed
hair, but the sight of the four of us
jarred her oat of l.er complacency.
Suddenly before our very eyes she
grew old as she came forward and:
.■latched Molly's am..
"What is it, what is it'.'" she asked,
in a ten^e voice. "What ha ν ο you all,
ome here to tell me?"
Molly, put her arms about her and
Ldck answered in tones of compas-1
aion "Mr. Trent—
"Ig he dead?" she intej rupted.
Dick bowed his head
For a moment she looked at us
dumbly and then she began to shriek.
"Where is my husband, wheie is he?
Why did you kill him Y Why did you
not bring him to me?"
Dick and Chad looked perfectly
helpless while Molly and I tried to
explaint matters and calm her. but
she would not listen. She tore oft' her
foolish little cap and clutched at the
laces at her throat, as she shrieked
"You all of you have killed him."
What have you done with him?"
It was a lonjr time befor* we could
calm her enough to make hei listen
to any explanation, aud when she ft
nally realized that Mr. Trent had
practically died under the knife, she
went Into another paroxysm of hys
terics.
"I knew it, I knew it," she exclaim
ed. "I told him over a year ago that
he would not live through au opera
tion."
Λ\'β gazed at each other in conster
nation. Was it possible that foolish
old woman had persuaded her hus
band not to have the knife used ovei
"
jfiiy?^. ΐί-ÎV1 W „ r 7l" - '
a yeai ago when it might have saved
hi* life?
Ju.st then it seemed to dawn upon
Uer at the first time that she had been
kept in ti»e dark about it all, and
agKin she began to ghriek and moan.
"Why did you not tell me that my
deat liunhand v.a.» going to the hos
pital? You have murdered him. I
v>ould not ha-.e let him go had I
known it."
"That is just the reason why yoti
were not told," cut in Jjick's voice, as
cold and crisp as a steel edge.
".Mother, for heaven s sake, stop this
tl.inking of yourself for a moment
and listen to what I ha\e to tell you."
This only made matters worse and sfce
began to c ail upon heaven to witness
how her children had always treated
her.
"If your father were alive. Rich
ard," she exclaimed, "you would not
be allowed to talK to me like this.
Even Chad, who had been looking
on with horror and disgust, smiled at
this, as l>hk answered: "it is very
probable that had my father been
alive, you would not have been Mrs.
Trent "

Meat is as Necessary
as Steel and Ships
Food is the first essential of the fight
ing forces.
The American farmer and the packer
have met every war emergency, and have
promptly furnished an adequate supply
of wholesome meat
No other industry can claim a better
record of war time efficiency.

United States Government and the Allied
Nations,
Over 12,000,000 Pounds (400 carloads)
per week, of beef, pork, and lard, since

24,000,000 Pounds (800 carloads),
and the demand is increasing.
Our profits are limited by the Food Adminis
tration to 9 per cent on investment in the meat
