FLORISTS PREDICT
, SCARCITY OF EASTER
FLOVERS NEXT YEAR
Easter lilies may be absent from the
market next year, owing to the failure
to get bulb shipments, Richmond
florists said Thursday. No shipments
of Illy of azalea bulbs have been re
ceived since the United States enter
ed the war, and the only flowers which
will be produced will be those grown
from bulbs imported two years ago.
Florists have been notified that there
will be no shipments of bulbs from
China, Japan -or the Bermudas,. Some
shipments are received from Holland
and France, but the prices are almost
prohibitive to the average customer.
One Richmond company that has
been doing . flower grafting has been
waiting for several months for a ship
ment of wild briar, that Is grown ex
clusively in England, and which is
used for graf rose cultivation. Similar
handicaps have been met with by
other florists In rarrying out thlr us
ual work.
Carnations, roses, chrysanthemums
and sweet peas will be fairly plentiful
this year, florists say, and Roman hy
acinths from France, will, be obtain
able, although they will be very high
In price. , .
Just now roses and chrysanthemums
are the most popular with greenhouse
patrons. Thousands of rose blooms,
and many of the popular chrysanthe
mums are sold daily.
"Never in our history has there been
mich a demand fop flowers as there
has been in the last two months," said
one florist "We - florists have had
Christmas every day."

Herbert Weisbrod Visited by
r Marshal Haig in Hospital
Later Bombed by Huns
Herbert Weisbrod now prisoner es
cort with, the American Army In
France, -writes In a letter to bis mo
ther, on October 12, that he passed a
grave marked "Glen McClure." He
did not have any way of ascertaining
whether or not this was Glen McClure
from Richmond, but having heard of
his death was led to believe , that it
was. Weisbrod was one of the eight
Richmond men who went over seas
on the 6th of last May.- The others
were Frank Genn, Frank LIchtenfels,
Walter Niebuhr. Clarence Wilhite,
Harry Long. George Steens and Rob
ert Dickinson. ' f -
On a ninety mile march across
Frank Weisbrod dropped In the ranks,
he writes to his mother, and upon be
ing taken to a field hospital, it was
decided that he had acute appendicitis.
He was operated on June 8, and on
June 9 the Germans bombed -the Red
Cross hospital where he was retained.
Weisbrod and the other patients were
carried out on stretchers through the
heavy shell fire, and were driven back
to another hospital along a road
which was constantly under fire.
He says: "Well, they started shell
ing us Sunday night, and we were
taken from the field hospital in am
bulances. Talk about your cross coun
try rides, we went over hills, through
plowed and shell-holed country, and
through rivers, and God only knows
where else. About the time we would
pass a spot a big shell would break
Just there. The noise was deafening,
and for over one-half hour we were
looking forward to being blown up in
the air any minute, wagon and all.
One American doctor, three American
nurses, and five British soldiers were
killed." .
Weisbrod spoke with special feeling
of the excellent treatment given him
in the base hospital, which was, he
stated, in a direct line between St.
Omar and the front. "We had chicken
soup, oranges, lemonade, etc., the best
of everything, and wonderful care,"
he said.
After recovering at the hospital,
Weisbrod went to Paris and was there
on the Fourth of July. There he met
a friend from Hamilton, Ohio, who
was driving a car for an adjutant gen
eral, and who, was given permission
to drive the Richmond soldier through
all parts of Interest in the city.
In a late letter he speaks of having
seen "Pete' Steens in the Chateau
Thierry sector, and Frank Lichtenfels

BLAST
RING
Soft coal gives off a great
amount of gas. In the
KING CLEARMONT
these gases are burned, and
made to give their heat into
the room.
Perpendicular slots running
from center to the top of the
fire bowl, connected with an
air chamber which complete
ly surrounds the fire bowl.
It makes no difference wheth
er there is little or much fuel
in the fire pot, the gases will
always be burned, on account
of the air being admitted di
rectly into the fire, instead of
at the top of the fire, as is the
case in a good many hot blast
stoves. A screw register in
front controls the air supply
and you have the fire under
perfect control all the time.
FULL STEAM AHEAD, i
With the .Ferrols life suddenly took
on the stress and strain of a crisis.
Since John had been compelled to
give up his job with the publishing
firm ' not only all ? their savings but
their source of income was sunk,' in
vested sacrificed for the little vol
ume with which they hoped to; win
economic freedom.
' Suppose it failed! The Ferrols and
Sara Selden didn't allow their minds
to dwell on such a possibility. It
would have meant sinking of heart,
lncn nf nnuraep and vitality. They
needed every bit of their force and
spirit to carry their project to success.
It was almost funny to see even
the kiddies doing their part Small
Jack insisted on sealing and stamping
the hundreds of envelopes containing
circulars about the book. Jack licked
them by tongue-power until his 6ister
Virginia, who was the circular-folder
of the "Ferrol Company," introduced
efficiency and the higher sanitation in
to Jackie's labors by making him sub
stitute a damp sponge. V- ;
Edith and Miss Selden threw them
selves into the work- of making the
book ready for sale, with the astonish
ing ardor and tirelessness of woman
shown in times of crisis. John labor
ed on the marketing of the volume as
he had never exerted himself as a
paid salesman. Early and late ; ne
worked, never letting his mind off .his
problems; '. even" dreaming of them' at
night. . '':-; f:
The whole Ferrol household felt
they had tapped what William James,
the phychologist. calls "hidden reser
voirs" of strength and energy.
Yet there were times in spite of
the flow of vitality, when Edith's spirit
grew tired. There was something
within her which cried out for safety
and the steady income rather than
this high pressure even with its prom
ise of reward.
Edith Ferrol came from a family of
fine and worthy folk who had some
how never quite been able to make
eood livines. She remembered her
childhood as a period of ups and
downs, of comfort and dire poverty, of
high -hope and teary despair on tae
part of her' long Buffering mother.
Edith, as a little girl, had often felt
rebellious at the lack of comforts her
home possessed at times. In her un
reasoning child mind she had blamed
her mother. Now, as she looked back,
she knew what miracles of economy
that same mother had often achieved.
She realized, that what she had often
denounced in lher kiddie soul as her i
ma's -.'"stinginess" was the result oi
her poor ma's utter lack of funds.
Edith's daddy had been a dear man,
full of charm and elegance, kindness,
I unselfishness and love for his family.
He was the "gentleman and scholar.
But he could never work for another
man. He was of the type who must
be his own boss. But nature had not
provided him with the aggressiveness
necessary. Edith remembered many
a time finding her mother in tears over
"another of father's failures." How
often she had heard her mother say,
"If only he would work for a salary,
how comfortable we could be!"
It had been a good deal the . same
with Edith's brother Edgar. But there
seemed more reason in Edgar's per
sistent efforts to be his own master.
Time and again he had proven his
talent for Invention, only to have it
come to nothing by lack of money or
a streak of bad luck. Edith still had
faith in Edgar.
It was this faith, and her big, sis-

terlylove of the boy who had never
had much of a chance, which now kept
her working at fever beat to make
the marketing of Miss Selden's re-written
book a smashing success. Edith
Lfeallzed that her tendency toward the

weakness that should be fought. And
with real valor she fought it.
"I don't recognize myself!" she cried
with shining eyes at dinner one night.
"I aeem to have been living with only
one-half of myself till now. And you,
too, John I .never saw you work so
incessantly. As for Miss Selden here,
and these dear old kiddielums of ours,
they're perfect dynamos! I wonder
why we can't keep it up for the rest
of our lives. . We should accomplish
just twice as much!"
: Sara Selden shook her head with a
wise smile. As a specialist in the hu
man machine she could answer Edith
authoritatively.
. "That's what we all ask ourselves
during a mad spurt," she said. "But
no human being can keep up this sort
of ! thing. Lots of them think they
can. It's the 'American way. But un
less there is a good reserve of health
and strength these spurts can't be
managed. Those who squander who
try to 6purt all the time cannot speed
up in times of stress. We have got
to have a reserve. When this reserve
is used we; have to stop and store up
more. That is the simple truth."

The Copenhagen office of the Moscow
prisoners' war relief committee asks
The Associated Press to convey to
America . an appeal in behalf of the
more than two million Russian prison
ers in Germany and Austria who ap
pear to have been generally forgotten.
At least 200,000 of the prisoners are
ill and death announcements reach
the Copenhagen committee daily liter
ally in bundles.
Similar committees, formerly work
ing in London and Paris, The Hague
and Berne, have been forced to aban
don their work owing to difficulties of
obtaining food for the prisoners, thus
placing everything upon the local com
mittee. The funds of the Copenhagen
committeeare nearing exhaustion and
the committee cannot send more than
20,000 parcels monthly.
