the Kid as He Appeared Before He
left Home and Enlisted In the
Army.
Humbert Mayer Aull, of Xewberry. j
: '
has "been commissioned in France.
He is now a second lieutenant of
infantry his commission won when
the big battle is raging.
Lieutenant Aull, upon the call of
the President, enlisted in the First
Regiment, 'National Guard of Soutn
Carolina, in 1916. when there was '
trouble with Mexico. He went in as
a private. His company was "K" j
^ . from Anderson, commanded at that;
time by Capt. Henderson. Later it j
was commanded by Capt. Vandive?\ j
I
Mr. Aull steadily rose until he was
made "top sc-rgeant," the highest non- j
commissioned office in his company, i
While the troops were over here, at;
i
Camp Sevier, he was urged to go to
a training camp and ?et a commission,
but he wanted to stay with his own j
command, among the friends he had ,
/ !
made. When he got over to France, j
1 * i
however, with the 30th division, he
was sent from the "battle to an of -j
? 1 i~ nomn in "Rolpn'im and ,
ncers iicumjig ?,
he made good, as the officers in th.>,
American service knew he would, and
as everyobdy who knows the bov ^
knew he would.
The first news from him came in |
the shape of the original commission j
He wrote not a line. He sent his
commission to his sister in Columbia,
Mrs. T. Q. 'Boozer, who received it
upon the day of her husband's death
from influenza.
When Mr. Aull enlisted he was only'
!
20 years of age. He is now 22. The i
commission, signed by his "major of
~ ~ * '
infantry." gives his cnaracter as
cellent." With thousands and hun- j
dreds of thousands of others, Mr. Auii
i
has simply done his duty, but his many ,
friends in South Carolina will be glal '
i
to know of this recognition of his j
merit on Flanders field, where grow
the poppies over the dead, who have
" died in and for the faith.

Joined the Army. 1
A private in the quartermaster's
corps at Camp Pike decided that he
would sooner be in a more active
branch of the service, so asked for and
received a transfer to the artillery.
After bidding him good-by, his bunkmate
hung a service flag with one star
in front of their barracks. On being
asked what it all meant he said: "Our
Joe has joined the army."
SELECTION OF SEED CORN
IMPORTANT AT THIS TIME.
Columbia.?Selection and testing of
seed corn is important, livery iarmci
should go into his field, select suitable
ears, and so mark them that they may
be readily distinguished. After the
seed corn is harvested it should be
stored so as to protect it from extremes
in weather, insects and rats.
The labor shortage makes it absolutely
necessary for the farmers to have
good seed in order to avoid loss of
time and effort spent in replanting
and to make every acre produce as
much s.z possible at a time when big
production of food crops is demanded
toy the world situation.
To Feed 65,000 Yanks.
Chicago.?Charles Weeghman, presi3ent
of the Cubs, has taken the job i
)f feeding 6;j,000 soldiers daily for the
government at the largest artillery
v-imn in the country, located at Smith
.own, Ky.
YANKEE BAPTIZED ON A RUN
Made Chaplain Hurry Because He
Wanted to Catch Up With
His Company.
i
With the American Army at the
Marne.?A long line of dust-covered
Yankees were pushing their way
through a tfiell-battered village near
Chateau-Thierry toward a ridge of
hills from which came the rumble of
artillery fire. At a crossroads they
came u]?on a chaplain, waiting beside
a broken-down sidecar. One of the
doughboys fell out of line and walked
rapidly up to the crossroads.
"Say, Chaplain, baptize me quick,
will you?" he urged. "We'll be in the
line to-night!"
The chaplain walked away from the
sidecar.
"Do you believe" he began.
"Yes, sir; I believe everything!" interjected
the boy; "but I've got to
catch my company. Can't you make it

Whiile Waiting for
Trains.
Ottawa, Kan.?O. C. Rose, a travel- j
ing salesman here, spends all of his
spare time ac railway stations, between j
trains, and evenings knitting for sail- >
ore. As a result of his energy two
pairs of socks, one pair of wristlets, a
helmet $nd a sweater have gone

Kidd, 106, Works on Farm.
Bellaire, O.?William Kidd, one
hundred ancl six, is assisting in the
farm work o:q the Charles Kosser farm
and is doing a real day's work every
day. Kidd was bom during the \Far
of 1812 and served in the Confederate
army during the Qsvil war.
War Ga? Causes Appendicitis.
The various poison gases so much
in use at present at the European
battle zone are not only breathed, but
are swallowed. This might seem
strange at first, but the likelihood of
swallowing some amount of a gas impregnating
thp atmosphere may readily
be seen. This might take place incidental
to the intake of food and both
to normal and convulsive actions of
f>ir.Aot Snr>h ?nrnHr?\vinjr of tOXlC
111C llUVUli uu\.u J, vapors
causes a variety of digestional
| disturbances, according to the amount
of gas ingested.
According to an article in the Jour-'
| nal de Medecine de Chirurgie
Pratique, appendicitis has been found
| caused by swallowed gas, especially
when the gas contains chlorine. The
! progress of the malady was rapid, but
j rather mild, and treatment was effec-j

An Important Phase of War Work
! Since the people of iXewberry coun
ty have subscribed their full quota in
the Fourth Liberty Loan Drive we
feel that we have done our part, for
the present, in buying clothing, guns,
ammunition, food and other material
necessities for our soldiers.
It behooves us, now, to seek to find
some other way in which we can help
fhp wiir as miir.klv nnssiblp.
Our lpve for country is also tested in
; the way we support the organizations
that are working for the morale and
for the souls of our men and women.
One from General 'Pershing's staff has
said that the agencies that are working
for the morale of the army are
adding a big per cent to the fighting
efficiency of our men. The Young
Women's Christian Association was
cne of the agencies mentioned by this
staff officer.
, Below is a telegram which was sent
I some months ago to iMrs. Cushman,
, Chairman of the War Work Council
of the Y. W. C. A., by our beloved
president, Woodrow Wilson. At thaf
time the work of the association was j
not on such a magnificent scale as it |
is today. . |
! '^My Dear Mrs. Cushman:
May I not express to you the ad- J
! miration which I in common with the j
| great body of my fellow-countrymen j
have felt for the work of the Young 1
Women's Christian Association? It .
has responded at this time of need ;.i i
the most admirable way to the claims
upon its patriotic services, and I wish
to give myself the pleasure of ex-1
! pressing my appreciation and the
high value which I put upon its work.
Sincerely yours,
' (Signed) Woodrow Wilson.* }
War work of the Y. W. C. A. began
as the result of a request from the
War Department Commission on,
training Camp Activities to supply
leaders for girls in the vicinity of'
training ramps. That request wa^ j
received the first of -Tune. 1917, and j
since then 87 club centers have been
opened.
The government requested houses
where the mothers, wives, sweetheart?
and sisters who visited soldiers in the
training camps could be entertained.
The Y. W. C. A. answered with the
.Hostess House. Today 90 hostess
houses have been opened and others
are under construction. Twelve are
for colored troops. .Many other Hostess
houses have been requested.
Early in the war. French women
cabled to the American Young Woman's
Christian Associaion for h61p.
Xow they conduct social and recreation
work for French women amons
the munition workers of Lyons, St.
Quentinne and Bourses; for French
women in government employ; for
Americans who serve in the social
rooms for nurses at Red Cross huts
at 14 "base hospitals; in the Hostess
houses of Paris and Tours; in the
Hostess houses for American (Signal
Corps girls; and maintain hotel Petroerad
