He drove up alongside the train as I was locking the doors and asked me where the hospital was^ I told him, and then he asked me where we came from and a number of questions. He talked to me more politely than a Junior Subaltern would have done. This is the first opportunity I have ever had of talking tp a general officer, and I count myself fortunate. I enjoy the Presbyterian so much. There is a boy here from Kansas, a Presbyterian, who always asks me for the A. R. P. when I get through with it. I am learning something besides French in this counrty. I I dress wounds when they are not too bad, and occasionally I dress some very serious ones. I treat Carrell Dalten cases and administer other treatment. L have had another experience not ?--"oaoMo rtno T had a nice very ttgiccawit VMV* * ? ? load of "cooties". In fact the whole outfit had them. But we have got rid of them now. About bed time all the fellows would sit down on their benches, take off their underclothes and Ipok along all the seams. Presently one fellow would pipe up, "I've got 'em." Then they would all get together and compare relative sizes and varieties. When I get back I shall be fully prepared ' to p>e Prof. Galloway a thorough discourse on the habits, growth, and domestic qualities of all the different species. They are gone but not forgotten. Requiescent in pace. Well, at last I have time to drop you a few lines. For the last two weeks I have worked incessantly under all kinds of dangers, but am glad to say that I have come thru unscathed. Sometimes I was lucky enough to catch four or five hours of sleep out of seventy-two. I have been fortunate enough to attend church at the Madeline and it was grand. They have a very fine, deep, pipe organ there and the finest choir I have ever heard. The ceilings and walls are all frescoed and are adorned with splendid paintings, with statues here and there all over the church. I have also, seen the Place de la Invalides where Napoleon's tomb is and where all the war trophies .from the FrenclP revolution to the present date are kept. The Tuiller's Gardens are also won* ? * t? j u,,, aeriui. oroau suuucu ?omo large statues all along." I did not know there were so many statues in all France as in those gardens alone. I have also seen other beautiful and historic places, such as the Palais Royal, Petit Trainon, Versailles, Pantheon, Trocadero, and Eiffel Tower. These are the good sights I have seen. Now for the sad experiences f have been passing through. In some places where small villages used to be, nothing is there now but a mass of debris and ruins, nothing but desolation and death. How some of these French people have suffered. Many of them have lost everything in the world they owned, land, home,' clothes, cattle., etc. But still when they get a chance they will go right back and start at the bottom -without a murmur and build up again. I remember seeing a train load . of refugees. All their worldly goods were carried in little sacks. And some of the little children were so scantily clothed that it would have made Eve blush to look at them. They were hungry, tired, and sick. But they did not make a murmur. Only the little babies that were not too weak cried some. However, I saw these before the Red Cross had a chance at them. After they get them it is different. They clothe ind feed them and give medical attention. The Red Cross is doing a very 'vonderful and Christian work over here. I saw Douglass Robinson the other day, also Miss Jennie White from Chester. We unloaded a train of wounded at a hospital where she is, and as soon as she found I was there she came down to see me and brought some fruit for me. I was sure glad to see them both. Hoping that you al are in good health, I am, with love, Gaston.

Columbia, Aug. 3.?"It is sternly necessary for the retailers to supervise the sale of sugar and prevent those who are greedy and unpatriotic I from obtaining more than their share," I says the Food Administration in an order requiring the retailer to' keep ft record of all sugar sales made.' A carbon copy of this record is to be sent to the County Food Administrator, and a check will be kept upon those who seek to buy more than their proportionate share of sugar. It is essential that an equal distribution of sugar is made as the sugar Situation is very acute. The profit on sugar will be closely watched by the Food Administration. The retail profit should not be more than one cent a pound, except where the fraction of a cent is involved. | Sales of sugar should not exceed j two pounds at one sale to a customer who lives in town, and should not ceed five pounds to a customer residing in the rural districts. For canj nlng purposes not more than 25 pounds : may be sold to a householder on j Home Canner's Sugar Certificates ex' cept upon written permission of th? ! County Food Administrator. ! HOW TO SELECT SEED j CORN IN THE FIFLD | Columbia.?James W. praffin, of Leslie, York County, has made a remarkable record in Corn Club work. He has been a member of the York i County Boys' Corn Club for four years, and has been a county prize winner 1 each year. Twice he has been a sec1 ond State prize winner. His article on "How I Select My Seed Corn in -rwrVtJ4a o^rOn holow mfllrAQ ( IUO r IClUf rruiuu. 10 t vu k/w.v very interesting reading. ; "One of the essentials of profitable corn growing is proper selection of seed. Stalks of the predominating type in the row or field should be | chosen, if equally resistant and well(eared as others. Get the form of ; the ideal stalk well fixed in your j mind, and look for It. Remember i the type from year to year and dont I change unless you should change to j a different strain or seed variety. "I dont wait until all the corn is in the crib to select my seed for next year's planting. If you do, you will fail in the crop. The standipg plant will answer.the question as to whether the selected ears have come from good stalks. I always try to be sure to get plants that grow not less than two or not more than three good ears to the -<-1u ~ ? flion Viq 1 f.wav nn D taiA., ttUU UUt iUVAO WUWM UWM ?? ?V the stalk. I select the well-filled ears, not too large nor too small, bat medium size, and sound. The shuck should be loose on the grain and should have a wholesome look. I always try to select my seed corn from the stalks standing where they grow, as soon as ripe, and before the first hard, freeze. I select ears from the stalks that have produced the most corn without having any special ad-^ vantages, such as space, moisture or fertility. The most important consideration is to select seed from those plants which have-the ability to fur-, nish the largest quantity of dry shelled corn. Early maturity is a desirable quality, and so are short, thick, windfirm stalks; top-heavy one? with ears borne too high are likely to mean losses. "I collect my plants that hear my seed ears and cut off the top and I bottom and hang the part on which the -ears are iasieueu, m aumc wu enient place In the crib or barn. This will keep in mind how the plants looked in the field. "I go through my corn and cut the diseased and stunted stalks about July first or August first, so as to prevent crossing with the good stalk* that are to furnish npy seed. Now, if I am going to plant on upland, I do not use seed that has been long grown on lowland, and if I am going to plant on lowland, I use my field selected seed that has given best results on that kind of land as far as possible. J I plant seed that grew on the same J type of, soil that I am going to cultiI yate. I always try to procure my1 i seed from corn that is known to produce large yields. It has been pretty^ well demonstrated that the prolific; * - '?? ??. ih. ' J corns are tne oest vaneueo mi ^ South. They^ do not make the largest and best show ears, but they do make ' the largest yields, and the greatest money value per acre.
