Armed Car Heips 15 Yanks to Cap ture 700 Huns in Recent Drive. _ With the American Armies.—Greater laurels daily afo being won by the French light tanks which are co-oper ating with the American forces in pushing the Germans hack toward the Rhine. Among the many individual feats of | the tanks and their drivers which have come to light, one of the most interest ing is that of Brigadier Cellier, who has been decorated with the cross of the Legion of Honor for his work in a light tank which enabled 15 American soldiers to capture 700 Germans. Several hundred of these tanks led tire counter-offensive from the Villers- j Cotterets forest in July, which marked what appears to have been the turning point of the war. They broke through the enemy’s lines, destroying his ma chine guns, overcoming strong centers of resistance and spreading panic and demoralization in the German ranks. Where the infantry was preceded by the “chars d’assaut,” as the French , call them, the advance was three miles a day. It was these same French light tanks which preceded the Americans in their advance upon Juvigny and Terny on the Solssons plateau. One of them, manned by a lieutenant, killed more than 200 Germans on the plateau. Documents that have come into the hands of the French staff show that the Germans are greatly worried by the light tanks and are studiously coaching their men in methods of de fense agairtst them. The light cars have the advantage of greater spe^d and of being more easily handled than the heavier tanks. They require a crew of only two men, a driver and a gunner, and carry one one-and-a-half-inch gun and a machine gun. Hayden-Holloway Furniture Company I COME TO STUDY ENGLISH Mile.

MESjSrSw Pershing’s Husky Men Are All Good Eaters. _ Variety in Uncle Sam’s Menu Makes It Attractive—Doughboys Grow Talkative. With the American Army in France. —“Chow time” means one of the most picturesque sights along the front, es pecially with the Americans. It seems to mean more to the Americans than to any other army, perhaps because i American “grub” is better. Happen along through a ruined vil lage or a woods in an American sector fifteen minutes before “chow time” and you would think the place deserted. Probably there wouldn’t be more than one or two stray doughboys in sight, i Come along fifteen minutes later and you wonder “where in thunder they all came from.” They'll be lined up, and in front of each line there’ll be a field kitchen steaming away, with a perspiring army cook dishing out grub that makes you want to “grab some tools and get in line” too. There’s lots of animation at “chow i time” among the Americans. A crowd of Frenchmen is quiet while eating, the only time French soldiers are quiet. They munch their bread and meat and vegetables and drink their wine in silence. Not so with the Americans. It’s a : bi& time. First of all, there’s specula- j tion on “what’s the chow for today.” There’s variety in Uncle Sam’s army menus. Then, as they sit around on the 1 ground, on ruins, or under trees, and that satisfied feeling of having eaten ; a good meal grows upon them, there’s j lots of life and joking among the doughboys. “Doughboy chow” is good. Usually there is soup. Then there are meat ! and vegetables, usually two kinds. J There are always big slices of white bread and coffee. Nine times out of ten there’s dessert, probably pudding or fruit. Each man has a pan with a handle | that folds into it, and a cup. Some- , way they get some of everything in a four-course meal into these two instru- : ments and never mix foods. Only one I of these “war experts” could do that. Poor Poetry, but Good Truth. What is it that the near-poet says? Anyhow, there’s plenty of truth in the sentiment, however unclassieal the verse.—The Progressive Farmer. How Town i-eopie Aid Farmers. How the little town of Delhi, situ ated in the Catskill mountains in Ne* York state, is aiding farmers in the surrounding community in securing much-needed labor is told by a repre sentative of the United States depart ment of agriculture, who has recently returned from an inspection trip Tn that district. The local commercial club of Delhi has organized some of the business men of the town who are willing to do farm work after three o’clock. The farmer who needs help telephones to the club,- and at three o’clock the volunteer workers climb into automobiles and report to his \ farm for a half day’s work. About 35 business men are being placed every day on the farms around Delhi. The local minister has set the example. He spends one day helping each of the fanners In his congregation. i llomelbwn KEEP HOUSE LOOKING RIGHT - I Liberal Use of Paint Is True Economy —Means Higher Rent and Greater Value. The best way to sell a house is to j paint it first. You can get higher rent f<jr a house j by painting it. The banker will lend more money on a well-painted house. These are suggestions made in con nection with a clean-up—paint-up cam paign that have arrested a great deal of attention. A prominent banker said: “Of course, it is easier to get a loan on a well-painted house. This is not merely because the house is in better repair and holding its value, but be cause the very fact that a man takes good care of his property is proof to us that.he is not shiftless, that he is provident and that we have a reason ably certain prospect of getting the loan paid back. “A well-painted house carries its own recommendation, even as a man who is careful about the neatness of his appearance makes a much more favorable impression than one who is careless.” When nature takes on a new dress, why not be in harmony? is a sugges tion for “clean-up—paint-up” that carries an appeal to most folks. It is also pointed out that woodwork kiln dried by furnace fire, in spring is actu ally parching and famishing for re freshing paint. Again the suggestion is made that wjien the east winds are high it is dangerous not to have your windows carefully puttied. EASY TO HAVE ATMOSPHERE j Matter That Should Have Careful ’ Thought When One Is Contem plating Building a Home. Many factors enter into the work of building a home that are not con cerned, simply, with the work of de signing or the mechanical processes that go into the building of the house,^ and we soon discover and realize that" the designing and building of a house is, after all, but the first preliminary step in the establishment of a home. The house is important, of course, and If it is not just as it ought to be in every particular, the operation will be a complete failure. And it is of special importance be fore you build, that you know just what you want your house to suggest in the way of newness or old-fash ionedness or an atmosphere of historic association, and you should also know how the result yon wish can be se cured. Your house need not be old to pos sess what seems to be an atmosphere redolent with memories of the good old days, and if you will but choose your architect with proper care, he will know how to give to your new home that atmosphere which one well known designer of colonial houses— Joy Wheeler Dow—calls the dramatic quality in architecture. — Rawson Woodman Haddon, in House Beauti ful. Ornamental Lamp Posts. There is no feature of municipal equipment that adds more to the at tractiveness of a city’s appearance than do ornamental street lamp posts of artistic and appropriate design. Just as the effectiveness of inferior decora tions and furnishings depend in a large measure upon lighting fixtures, so the beauty of the street can be en hanced or marred by its lights. In each case a satisfactory solution of the lighting problem consists not only in supplying sufficient illumination but also in providing lighting equipment that harmonizes with its surroundings and possesses a beauty of its own. The old-time lamp post in vogue be fore the days of electricity fulfilled the second of these conditions but not the first; for, although the post itself was often a work of art, its feeble oil or gns flame seldom was equal to the task of illuminating the street. On the other hand, the modern overhead arc lamp gives a fairly satisfactory light, but the unsightly poles, ropes, ^'ires and other equipment for raising and lowering the lamp can scarcely be called beautiful. Now comes the orna mental street lamp post, which com bines the beauty of one of its prede cessors and the utility of the other. Thofnas J. Davis, in the House Beau tiful. Panoramic Object Lesson. Two and a half miles of corridors in thd state, war and navy building at Washington are a panoramic object lesson in the use of tinted walls to re flect the light. This is a rea+ly economic experiment that has been proved a great saving in the cost of lighting. The light-reflect ing values of the various tints of paints are now understood by the skillful I pcintet. j Many industrial establishments, j schools, hospitals and office buildings In the capital have reduced their light ing costs to a marked extent through application of the proper types and lints of interior paints. By making the interiors brighter they have saved a uumber of accidents and have contrib uted to a more cheerful feeling among the occupants. —- - .Walker’s Pharmacy PHONE 39 Headquarters for Drugs]and Drug Sundries We carry a complete line, and guarantee prompt and accurate service, prescriptions carefully compounded by competent Druggists.
