We boys sro having a peach of a time," said Billie. "Well, if you get more out of lt in the way of pleasure thun I," said Un cle Dan, "you ore going some." "Billie, I have been talking .seriously with your father and motlier about sending you to a military academy and they asked me to talk with you about lt" "Whoopee I" Billie screamed, like a wild Indian. "Now, hold your horses," sold Uncle Dan, "ami listen to me. You know I sent my boy, Howard, to one of these schools for a year when he waB about your age. He was narrow chested, stoop shouldered, rather loose jointed ; he had the big head and needed dis cipline und physical development. He was growing fast and I wanted him to be strong physically." "Say, Uncle Dan," said Billie*, "I be lieve your description of Howard fits me pretty well, eh?" "Well," said Uncle Dan, "to" be frank I think lt does; you need the same thing. Howard did not like lt at first. I am told for a few weeks he had 'rough sledding,' but after he found that the only way was to obey orders, he caught the spirit of the Institution and liked lt. We did not see him for about six months, then he came home for a few days. We were astonished ot his ap pearance.

Officer* Who Mistreat Soldiers Should Suffer* Moro Than Dismissal. 1 Washington, Feb. 1.-A heavier punishment than mero dismissal from the service was recommended by the ? War Department for two army medi cal officers recently convicted by mourtmartials of mistreating sick soldiers. After reviewing the rec ords of the trials Secretary Baker re turned them to the trial courts with the suggestion that sentences of dis missal he reconsidered" and that more severe penalties bo Imposed. One case was that of First Lieut. John G. Dwyer, medical corps, on hospital duty at Camp Funston. Evi dence brought out at h\a trial showed that a soldier in the advanced stages I of pneumonia, who reported for treat ment, was reprimanded for failure to I salute and sent back to duty. In fact, | it was shown that thc doctor urged j that the sick man, who died a few | days later, bo given douille duty. The other case was that of First Lieut. Chas. W. Cole, Camp Beaure gard, La., tn charge of the base hos pital. An ambulance loaded with sick men came to the hospital from the regimental infirmary, it was shown at the trial, and the officer kept the men waiting for nearly an hour outside in the cold and rain be fore he went out to look at them. When he did go out, lt was brought out that he ordered them taken back to camp, as he had no room for them. The ambulance driver told the doctor that one man in his car <was delirious and might hurt himself or others. |Tho..pfncor instructed him to tie the patient up and take him back. Two of the patients later died. It was "shown also that while the base hospital was crowded, the nine patients could have been cared for. Secretary Saker has asked Sena tor Chamberlain for the names of officers charged in letters to the Sen ator with neglect of sick men that the cases may be investigated and punishment meted out If the officers' are guilty. f j GIRLS I DR AAV A MOIST CLOTH THROUGH HAIR, DOUBLE ITS BEAUTY I Try This!

FARM PROSPERITY IS HOME MADE Dan Be Continued Indefinitely In South If Farmers Do Their Part, Says Hastings Atlanta, Ga.-(Special.)-That the present wave of "farm prosperity" in ;he South is "homo made" and can be continued Indefinitely is tho interest ing statement made recently by H. Gr. Hastings, President of both the Southeastern Fair Association and tho Qeorgla Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Hastings said: "Unthinking people are vory apt to attribute the present wave of farm prosperity in the South to the present high price of cotton rather than to Its real cause." "Naturally, the high price bas helped a great deal, but the real reason for the money being In the fanner's pock et or bank ls that when the 1917 cot ton c? op was made the farmer owned It instead of owing lt to supply mer chant at the end of the season, as was usually the case In times past. Never before had thc farmers of the South come as close to feeding themselves, their families and their live stock from their own acres as in 1917. They had need of few store purchase* and made few or no dents." "If the 1917 crop had boon made- on the old basis of plant all cotton and buy all food at present prices there .would be supply merchant prosperity, bqt little or none on the farms." "Naturally, the temptation is great to increase cotton acreage and de crease food and grain acreage in 1918. The man who does lt is foolish. The whole world is short of food and this condition will not only continue but get worse as long aa the war lasts. Continued high prices for food ls as cer tain as sunrise each morning." "Real money-ln-hand farm prosper ity is absolutely dependent on the growing on one's own acres of all the food, meat, grain and forage needed for home needs. Once that ls provid ed for, every other available acre can safely be planted in cotton or oflier cash crop. The larger part of the cost of making cotton or other cash crop is in the food, grain and forage consum ed in making it. "These items 'home made' can be produced at from one-third "to one half the price the merchant charges and home production of them means just that much reduction in the cost of making the cash crop. "Farm prosperity In the South can, and will be permanent just as long as our farmers continue their farm oper ations on a 'home made' basis." BIG FLOUR USERS LICENSED.
