He drove up alongside th train as I was locking the doors an asked me where the hospital was. told him, and then he asked m where we came from and a number o questions. He talked to me mor politely than a Junior Subalter would have done. This is the fira opportunity I have ever had of tails ing to a general officer, and I coun myself fortunate. I enjoy the Prei byterian so much. There is a bo; here from Kansas, a Presbyteriar svhe always asks me for the A. E P. when I get through with it. I f ' I am learning something beside French in this oounrty. I dres rounds when they are not too bad and occasionally I dress some ver, serious ones. I treat Carrell Dalte: :ases and administer other treat ment. I have had another experience no yery agreeable one. I had a nic load of "cooties". In fact the whol Dutfit had them. But we have go rid of them now. About bed tim ill the fellows would sit down 01 their benches, take off their under :lothes and look along all the seams Presently one fellow would pipe up 'I've got 'em." Then they woul ill fret together and compare rela ;ive sizes and varieties.

A ? earbon copy of this record is to be sent to the County Food Admlnistr* tor, and a check will be kept upon 3 those who seek to buy more than theii 8 proportionate share of sugar.

The retail profit should not be more t than one cent a pound, except wheri the fraction of a cent Is involved. 6 Sales of sugar should not exceed e two pounds at one sale to a customer t who lives in town, and should not exel ceed five pounds to a customer residing in the rural districts.

Draffin, ol p Leslie, York County, has made a remarkable record in Corn Club work. 0 He has been a member of the York V County Boys' Corn Club for four years, n and has been a county prize winner x J each year. Twice he has been a sec' ond State prize winner. His article | on "How I Select My Seed Corn in 3 the Field, which Is given below, makes e very interesting reading. I "One of the essentials of profitable s corn growing is proper selection of seed. Stalks of the predominating '' type in the row or field should be r chosen', if equally resistant and wells eared as others. Get the form of e the ideal stalk well fixed in your , mind, and look for it. RemembeT ' the type from year to year and don't r change unless you Bhould change te e a different strain or seed variety. "I dont wait until aH the corn is r in the crib to select my seed for next year's planting. If you do, you will fall in the crop. The standlpg plant will answer the question as to whether - the selected ears nave come irorn gouu 1 stalks. I Always try to be sure to ret t plants that grow not lees than two ot not more than three good ears to ths 1 stalk, and not more than half-way up the stalk. I seleot the well-filled ears, i not too largo nor too small, but me3 dlum felze, and sound. The shuck should be loose on the grain and '' should hare a wholesome look. I al1 ways try to select my seed corn from the stalks standing where they grow, B as soon as ripe, and before the first hard freeze. I select ears from tha 5 stalks that hare produced the most 2 corn without having any special ad' 5 vantages, such as space, moisture or 3 fertility. The most important consideration is to select seed from those plants which hare the ability to furf nlsh the largest quantity of dry shell,. ed corn. Early maturity Is a deslrabls r quality, and so are short, thick, windArm stalks; top-heavy ones with ears Dorne loo niffn are umji; uj I losses. t "I collect my plants that bsar my . seed ear* and cut off the top aid bottom and hang the part on which ' the ears are fastened, In some conrenlent place In the crib or barn. 5 This will kotp In mind how the plants d looked in the field. 0 "I go through my corn and cut the diseased and stunted stalks about e July first or August first, so as to pre - rent crossing with the good stalks that are to furnish my seed. Now, .. If I am going to plant on upland, ] t do not use seed that has been lonfl grown on lowland, and If I am golnf to plant on lowland, I use my field se 1 lectfld seed that has given best Tesultc II on that kind of land as far as possible J I plant seed that grew on the sam? type of soil that I am going to cultl I rate. I always try to procure mj a. I -aoJ fmrr* nnm that < Ifnnwn to Dro k duce large yields. It has been prettj well demonstrated that the prolific corns are the best varieties for th< r South.

Dear Mamma, a I received your letter to-day, and >r also another letter from a friend, ai and from the latter learned that I te am married and on my way to the States to arrive some time in July. Quite a delightful piece of informaj# tion to me, married to a beautiful ie French girl and on my way home. I laughed at first when I read this ?g but immediately thought of you and what you must think when you heard this same news, not having received a letter from me in such a :e tong time. I must explain to you ie all that I know of the story and how ie it got out. >f It seems that more ridiculous things can happen to me than anyone I know. This spring I wa3 billeted in a French town for awhile IS with troops, and there met a fairly s- rich French family. They were exit tremely nice to me, probably bei cause I spoke a little French, they didn't speak a word bf English. There was a very beautiful girl in the family to whom I paid the same is gentlemanly attention that I would > nav any lady in an American family Vi of friends.
