A. man of Dunnellon, s Fla., tells how, when without food, 3 they sent the sweet chocolate which . he secured for them to an Isolated pla. toon, which was under severe fire, j acress the Vesle river at Flames. r It was during the heavy fighting | eastward from Chateau Thierry, that | the men of the 109th Machine Gun Battalion got ahead of their supplies, and the sweet chocolate whioh the Y. M. C. A. managed to get to them, was * specially welcome. " The battalion reached the Vosle rive er on its advance. There the German - line held. Men were thrown across s the river by various units to keep in r contact with the enemy. There was tp-rittc fighting all along the line. A platoon of Company D was hurried over to help in holding the narrow 1 strip that had been taken at great cost e by the American soldiers. It was surrounded on three sides by the Boehe, who tried every means in his power to dislodge them,?gas, shells, machine gun fire and snipers. It was a difficult ' | matter to get food over to them lor men with supplies had to cross the ^ river which was exposed and under e heavy fire. i FIGHTING PARSON ' GETS WAR CROSS e g John Clifford Wearing Y. M. C. A. Uniform, Prove* Himself Real Hero New York, Jan. ?There have many war heroes, but there is certainty no more conspicuously heroic figure than John H. Clifford, Baptist minister in time of peace, but real flffhter in time of war, who has been awarded the Croix de Guerre for extraordlnnry heroism in action. John Clifford, as a Y. M. C. A. worker, braved the sed wrath of war. He has been in the firing zone as much as the hardiest infantryman and was decorated for a most unusual exploit. He was one of three men wh# braved incessant enemy shell ftre while rescuing Col. Albertus W. Catlin, commanding officer of the Sixth regiment of Marines. The trio carried the I colonel to safety on a stretcher. I Mr. Clifford went over the top many | tlnres and came near being killed on , several occasions. He is fifty-one I years old and was born at Oxford, England, and has preached the gOBpel in many parts of the world. When gjiven a chance to serve with the Y. M. C.

PERSHING SENDS MOTT | NEW YEAR GREETINGS Paris, Dec. 26.?Many times during the past year'General Pershing; has taken occasion to commend the work of the Y. M. C. A. for the soldiers ! of the A. E. F. and to express hl? keenest appreciation for the many 1 good deeds done by the "Y" in this country. On Christmas Day the commandei of the American Expeditionary Forces sent the following cablegram to Dr John R. Mott, head of the National | War Work Council: I "With a deep feeling of gratitude foi the enormous contribution which th? Army Young Men's Christian Associa tlon has made to the moral and physi' cal welfare of the American Army, ali rank* jofn me in sending you Christ mas greetings and cordial best wlshei for the New Year." Soldiers Ove Serve For 1 Fewer Men ( General Pershing Tells Y. M. C. , of A. E. F., Which Cuts in This Atlanta, Ga., Jan ?The offer of General Pershing to release officers and men of the A. E. F. from mill. tary duty in order that their services might be utilized by the Y. M. C. A. resulted in the recruiting of a large number of soldiers for "Y" work, and nnfnrnllv rpsiiHnd in a dprrease in the number of men being sent from this country overseas. Up until the time General Pershing's offer was made, the Y. M. C. A. had done extensive recruiting for the purpose of sending a large number of ' workers overseas. But when it was learned that workers could be secured I .... ... hi r ranee?men wen nueu lor me * work because of their familiarity with * conditions?the services of many men ? in the United States were not needed. ^ While many candidates for service 1 overseas were disappointed over the outcome, the Y. M. C. A. could not * have acted otherwise. General Porting told tho "Y" to take any sol ENORMOUS AMOUNT | ! OF SUPPLIES SENT BY Y. M. C. A.; Coat of Sweets and Smokes for One Month Reaches Staggering Figure?Armistice Didn't End Smoking on Any Front New York, Jan. ...?Almost |4,000, UUV worm OI UJUnrn, snrcio, mjuinuB goods, chewing gum and other com-j modities was shipped to France during: the month of November by the Army; and Navy Y. M. C. A., for the us* of the American Expeditionary Forceu. j A statement to this effect has Just been hwued by the National Wvir Council and tends to demonstrate that the demand for supplies of thjs char-1 acter has not been reduced by the fact' that hostilities have oeased. In efcact figures the value of the supplies shipped to France was $$,-{ 895,908 and each month's quota will ap proximate this total until the forces overseas have been materially reduced by demobilisation. The demand for tobacco, cigars and cigarettes has not diminished since; the armistice was signed, as witness1 the fact that $1,351,000 of the total! amount went for the purchase of the weed in some form. In the shipments were 464,911 pounds of tobacco, 198,065,320 cigarettes and 99,700 ci- ] gars. As for confectionery, there were 213,800 pounds of hard candy, 175,918 , pounds of chocolates and 329,280 pack-1 ages of cough drops, not to mention K37 SOO tins of lams and 6 541.300 pounds of sugar. The chewing gum conignments totaled 6,100,000 packages! ?-enough to load every slot machine in the United States. Y. M. C. A. SECRETARY i HONORED FOR BRAVERY : trooklyn Man Is Awarded Croix de Guerre by Commander of Polish Forces Paris, Dec. 11.?"For heroic and untiring work for the soldiers while un der fire," Stanley Modra, of 2123 Ca ton avenue, Brooklyn, a Y. M. C. A secretary, has just received the Croii de Guerre from General Haller, com mander-in-chief of the Polish army, and has been mentioned in the offi cial citations. He js the third Y. M C. A. man thus honored for consplcu ous bravery. Modra has been with the Polish forces continuously since his arrival in France five months ago, and hsv given many notable exhibitions of gal lantry and fidelity to duty.

From this hut he made trli after trip, carrying supplies to the mer j at the moat advanced posts, and was j under fire repeatedly. When the fighting was at its heavi' est Modra and the men associated witt him in Y work continued their minis trations to the soldiers, serving cocoa cakes, when the men wero in positioi to receive them, and cigarettes. Thii . service contributed much to the higt morale of the troops and won not onlj | the praise of the officers but the last 1 ing gratitude of the men. | DR. R. 0. FLYNN AS T WORKEF Well Known Minister Leaves Pulpit ti Take Up Work Overseas Atlanta, Ga., Jan. ...?Dr. Richan Orme Flinn, pastor of the North Ave nue Presbyterian church, is going b France for the Y. M. C. A. Dr. Flinn, who is one of the bes ' known ministers in the Southeast, am who ha3 a host of friends throughou this section of the country, will be efl gaged in special educational work, am will likely be overseas for some tlml m_ i rseas 10 M. C. A.; So From U. S. A. to "Take Their Pick" From Men Down Recruiting Program Country diers it wasted and as many as It wanted, and by so doing the Association has saved a great deal of money that would have been spent in transporting the workers to France. The soldiers in France know the work of the Y. M. C. A. almost as well as their own, and those who have been so far selected are making excellent workers. The Y. M. C. A., however, will not discontinue the sending of men to France. Now and then men who are especially qualified for the work overseas will be used, only they will be fewer in number. Dr. W. W. Alexander, director of C/\ntUahotnvn /lonart. purnuuuci ,u. i..c ment, points out that the generous offer of General Pershing is only another indication of the high esteem which is held for the Y. M. 0. A. by the United States government and by the leader of the American Expeditionary Forces. ' SELECTION AND PREPARATION \ OF THE TOBACCO SEED BED. ' '% Early vigorous plants are necessary for best results with tobacco. Location, fertilization, and prepara- tion of the seed bed are necessary for good plants. Select well drained friable land, protected on north by *""1 woods. For each fPe acres to bo planted there should be 200 square yards of seed bed, preferably 15 feet wide and as long as necessary for greater ease in placing and replacing cover. If ?- ***? _ wvtwwu iii viicr woods there will be less danger from grass seed and cold spring winds. Clean off all trash, roots, etc., and sterilize or "burn" the soil. Lay skids or small poles two feet apart on the bed and put on dry wood sufficient to produce heat enough to destroy any fungii spores in the top 3 or 4 inches of soil. This also puts the soil in godd mechanical condition. Rake oh unburned chunks r and large coals and work the soil in such a way as to leave the . "burnt" soil on top. A grubbing hoe may be used, care being taken to pull hoe out at same angle it was driven in, to pulverize the land well four or five inches deep. J Apply any good tobacco or cotton complete fertilizer, 105 pounds to * 100 square yards of bed. Hog pen manure is fine, as it contains no grass seed. Avoid other manure, for picking grass and weeds from tne oea later is both expensive and injurious to the tobacco plants. Incorporate the fertilizer thoroughly with the top soil and rake till in perfect condition. ' . Sow about two level teaspoonsfula of seed to each 100 square yards, using care to distribute evenly over the bed. Some consider It desirable tQ mix the seed with two or three / quarts of cheap flour, land plaster, dry ashes, or sifted road dust for proper even distribution. Tobacco, seed need no covering except that [obtained by rolling with a rooler, or by firm uniform pressure such as might be given by careful trampling j with bare feet. Lay and stake in place poles or boards about six inches high around ^ the bed and throw up earth against the outside of these. Ditch around 1 the bed to keep out all surface , water. A loosely woven cloth mesh /for the purpose of covering beds can be bought at dry goods stores. Sow strips together to get a cover wide enough, with seams running the long way of the bed. Place wire, small poles or slats across for the cover to rest on so that will be ten inches above surface of bed. This keeps out insects, retains moisture and heat and prevents frost injury. Plant seed January 1, to March 1, ' preferably not much later than January 15. Though slow to germi 1 nate, they seldom fail to do so. I Cold snaps at certain stages of ger\ mination may kill some of the seeds, and if not a sufficient stand is left, more seed may be sown on the ' | bed without disturbing it at all. Tobacco plants grow rapidly under favorable conditions. Keep weeds if and grass removed and moisture Conditions right, watering frequently a if dry weather. If plants are yel- . low and unthrifty, apply one quart of nitrate of soda to 100 square * I yards. Beat soda fine, run thru a seive, and sow on bed in afternoon [when plants are dry, and apply water 'or not as needed. In watering a liberal wetting every four days Is better than sprinkling daily. About April 1, or earlier, after danger of frost, remove the cover ,'C and allow plants t0 toughen. By April 1 to 15 in the coastal region of the state and correspondingly later to about May 10 in other parta O of the state, plants will be ready to ^ transplant. It is better to let them get to be strong stocky plants about six inches high in the bed before ,, transplanting.
