miltuillillllltlllilllllllllllll I Rams 1 By 2 V T c =? the boy, father of the man. Here's another of those Booth Tarkington boy-and-girl stories that set everyone laughing and living over again the days of youth. This one is much like "Penrod" and "Seventeen" and "The Oriole." It's different, too. in that It carries Ramsey Milholland and Dora Yocum through school and college life to early maturity in the World War. So it's serious as well as funny, and it's one of Booth Tarkington's best of its kind. That's enough. o =c chapter i. When Johnnie comes marching homt again, Hurrah! Hurrah! We'll give him a hearty welcome then, Hurrah! Hurrah! The men with cheers, the boys with shouts. The ladies tney win an turn uui, And we'll all fee] gay, when Johnnie comes marching home again! The old man and the little boy, his grandson, sat together in the shude of the big walnut tree in the front yard, watching the "Decoration Day Parade," as it passed up the long street; and when the last of the veterans was out of sight the grandfather murmured the words of the tune that came drifting back from the now distant baud at the head of the procession. "Did you, Grandpa?" the boy usked. '"Did I what?" "Did you all feel gay when the army got home?" "It didn't get home all at once, precisely," the grandfather explained. "When the war was over I suppose we felt relieved, more than anything else." "You didn't feel so gay when the ? war was, though, I guess!" the boy ventured. "I guess we didn't." "Were you scared, Grandpa? Were you ever scared the Johnnies would win?" "No. .We weren't ever afraid of that." "Well, weren't you ever scared yourself. Grandpa? I mean when you were Ill U uuiur, "Oh, yes; I was." The old man laughed. "Scared aplenty!" "I don't see why," the boy said promptly. "I wouldn't be scared In a battle." "Wouldn't you?" " 'Course not! Grandpa, why don't you march in the Decoration Day parade? Wouldn't they let you?" "I'm not able to march any more. Too short of breath and too shaky In the legs and too blind." "I wouldn't care," said the boy. "I'd be in the parade anyway, if I was you. If I'd been in your place, Grandpa, and they'd let me be In that parade, I'd been right up by the band. Look. Grandpa! Watch me, Grnndpa! This Is the way I'd be, Grandpa." I He rose from the garden bench where they sat, and gave a complex imitation of what had most nppeuled to him as the grandeurs of the procession, his prancing legs simulating those of the horse of the grand marshal, while his upper parts rendered {he drums and bugles of the bund, as ??ii ni. e*w* unil nrivtito? nf thu wen in IIIV (/uiwio UKM r>. , ?tvv 4MX. militia company which had been a feature of the parade. The only thing he left out was the detachment of veterans. . "Putty-boom! Putty-boom! Puttybooin-booni-bonm!" he vocifert ted, as the drums?and then as the bugles: i "Ta. ta, ra, tara !" He -addressed his restive legs: "Whoa, there, you Whltey ! Gee 1 Haw ! Git up!" Then, waving an imaginary sword: "Collumn right! Farwud march! Halt! Carry harms!" He "carried arras." "Show-dler harms!" He "shouldered arms." and returned to his seat. "That'd be me, Grandpa. Thut's the way I'd do." And as the grandfather nodded, seeming to agree, a thought recently dismissed returned to the tulnd of the composite procession and he asked: "Well, why weren't you ever afraid the Johnnies would whip the Unions, Grandpa?" "Oh, we knew they couldn't." "I guess so." The little boy laughed disdainfully, thinking his question sat lstactyoruy answereu. ? ku ole Johnnies couldn't whipited a flea They didn't know how to tight any ai all. did they. Grandpa?" "Oh, yes, they did!" "What?' The hoy was astounded "Weren't they all Just reg'lar ole cow ards. Grandpa?" "No," said the grandfather. "Thet were pretty tine soldiers." "They were?

"Listen ! Listen here, Grandpa ! Well. ! anyway, if they never got scared we d win, and nobody got scared they'd win ?well, I don't see?" "You don't see what?" Hut Itamsey found himself unahle to continue his concentration. "Oh, > nothln' much," he murmured. "I see." And his grandfather laughed again. "You mean: If the Johnnies . felt just as sure of winning the war as we did and kept winning battles, why shouldn't we ever have had any doubts we were going to win? That's 1 it, Isn't It?" "I guess so. Grandpa." ! "Well, I think it was mostly because we were certain that we were right." "I see," said Ramsey. "The Johnnies knew they were on the side of the devil." Rut at this, the grandfather's laugh was louder than it had been before, and Ramsey looked hurt. "Well, > you can laugh if you want to!" he objected in an aggrieved voice. "Any' way, the Sunday school sup'lntendent i told us when people knew they were on the devil's side they always?" "I dare say, 1 dare say," the old man interrupted, a little impatiently.

On foot he took his place In the ranks, while Ramsey became sternly vociferous. "In-tentlon, company! Farwud march! Col-lumn right! Rlght-showdler harms! Halt! Far-wud march. Carry harms?" The army went trudging away under the continuous but unheeded Are of orders, and presently disappeared round a corner, leaving the veteran chuckling feebly under his v.alnut tree and alone with the empty street. All trace of what he had said seembd to have been wiped from the grandson's mind: but memory has curious ways. Ramsey had understood not a fifth nor a tenth of his grandfather's talk, and nJrendy he had "forgotten" all of It? vet not onlv were there many, many times in the hoy's Inter life when, without ascertainable cause, he would remember words and sentences spoken by the grandfather, though the listener, half-drowslly, had heard but the sound of an old, earnest voice?and even the veteran's meaning finally took on a greater definiteness till it became, in the grandson's thoughts, something clenr nnd bright and beautiful that he knew without being Just sure where or how he hud learned it. CHAPTER II Runisey MfJhollnnd sat miserably In school, his conscious being consisting principally of a dull hate. Torpor was a little dispersed during a fifteenminute interval of "Music," when he and all the other pupils in the large room of the "Five B. Grade" sang repeatedly fractions of what they enunciated as "The Star Span-guh-hulled Banner"; but afterward he relapsed into the low spirits nnd animosity natural to anybody during enforced confinement under Instruction. No alleviation was accomplished by an invader's temporary usurpation of the teacher's j platform, a brisk and unsympnthetically cheerful young woman mounting thereon to "teach German." For a long time mathematics and German had been about equally repulsive to Ramsey, who found himself daily In the compulsory presence of both; but he was gradually coming to regard German with the greater horror, because, after months of patient mental resistance, he at last began to comprehend that the German language has sixteen special and particular ways of using the German article corresponding to that flexible bit of a word so ensiJy managed In English?the.

But the fact that the Germans picked out a and the and many other little words in use all the time, and gave every one of them sixteen forms, and expected Ramsey Milholland to learn this dizzying uselessness down to the last crotchety detail, with "When to employ Which" as a nausea to prepare for the finul convulsion when one didn't use Which, because it was an "Exception" ?there was a fashion of making easy matVrs hard that was merely hellish.

At such times the children looked patient; they supposed It must be so, because she was an adult and their teacher; and they believed her with the same manner of believing which those of them whq went to Sunday school used there when the Sunday school teachers were pushed Into explanation of various matters set forth In the Old Testament. or pave reckless descriptions of heaven. That Is to say, the children did not challenge or deny; already they had been driven Info habits of resignation and were passing out of the aire when childhood Is able to reject adult nonsense. ltnmsey Milholland did not know whether the English language was beautiful or not: lie never thoncht about it.

He was one of the 60 men chosen to represent the two million members of the American expeditionary force in France to organize what later became the Legion. Company C. One Hundred and Second Infantry, G. A. R., of Illinois, adopted him as a member. Mr. Carlstrom is a lawyer. NATION'S LOVE FOR LEGION "They Like Ua?But-' Is Attitude of Public, According to National Commander MacNider. "They like us?but" is the attitnde of the nation towards the American Legion, according to Hanford MaeNider, commander of the Legion in the first address of his speaklug tour at Philadelphia. "We have to Duna up a spirit in ine Legion and do the right thing always, and in time we will have the confidence of the people," Mr. MacNIder continued. "Men who offered all they had to the country have a right to the confidence of that country. They should have a voice In Its affairs, for they never would want to do a thing contrary to the country's Interests." By building up a "spirit" among the members of the Legion and creating a comradeship with "our companions in arms in England. France. Italy and the other countries," more can he done for peace than in any other way, the speaker claimed. TO Aid OT rrcngn rncnaa.

Mrs. Burdick, who is sixty years old but doesn't show It, arrived in France in December, 1917, with "Pa," her husband. With a stove which Mr. Burdick, also an ensign of the Salvation Army, rigged up, and a sewing machine which she found and repaired, "Ma" cooked for the boys as they came from the lines, mended their clothes and made new ones out of salvaged material. "Ma" and "Pa" were godparents of the First division, and from December of 1917 until rtie armistice Mrs. Burdlck .baked her pies and made her doughnuts In every sector of the western front, as close up to the fighting lines as they would allow her. The .var over, the couple were transferred to Brest, where they ministered to the soldiers until they sailed for home In April, 1919.

EOVTNE TUBERCULOJ TO ACTIVE T <>* :? >. >* 'v<^'i'* *<*v ?2~>y/ > Accrediting a Herd as Free From Tube Owner and the (Prepared by the JPnlted States Department ]< of Agriculture.) o For many years after the agitation . regarding bovine tuberculosis began, f there were very few people who entertained the hope that It would ultimate- (] ly be eradicated. Now, after many (] years of effort, first unsuccessful, but now giving great promise of success, ^ there are many who firmly believe that the time Is coming when this scourge of live stock will be conquered. Tuberculosis May Be Banished. This change of attitude has been { brought about largely through the efforts of the bureau of animal industry of the United States Department of I Agriculture, co-operating with the varl ous state officials, which have been so successful that within period of four years, during which the work has been directed toward ultimate elimination, severnl thousand herds have been ac- li credited us being free from the disease and a number of sizable ureas in different states contain practically no tuberculous cattle. These results have h demonstrated conclusively that, if sufficient funds are mude available, this menace to human health and to the success of live-stock, farming may be done away with In a practical manner. ( Tuberculosis of cattle is one of the few* farm problems that appeals with almost equal force to city people, for k the heulthfulness of milk and meat is b of vital Importance to them. This fact b ought to make it easier to get the sup- 0 port necessary for putting through t< such a country-wide program against b the disease. The cattle resources of a the country are of the utmost Import- 0 ance, and measures to reduce the risk w of loss represent nothing more than 81 common sense. Cl Insurance Feature Appeals. 11 There are more than 06,000,000 head r' of cattle in the country worth nearly " $3,000,000,000. Aside from the health aspect qt f*e problem, the Insuring of tJ this vast amount or weulth against a loss ought to appeal to all classes of ^ people as a necessary measure for the a good of the nation. At the present time various state d and federul ugencies are testing about b 150,000 cattle a month and eliminating A those that are found to he tuberculous, c< but It is expected that In the near fii- w ture probubly 1,000,000 head will be ir tested monthly by the combined forces. On that basis It Is easy to see thut- h great progress will be made toward getting rid of the plague, for the evl- * dence obtained shows that the methods b now in use are practical. When the b campaign began most of the stress was tl laid on cleaning up Individual herds, a and this was the only practical thing to do as not enough sentiment hod It been aroused to muke it possible to o get general support for a campaign In n any locality. But the advantage gained d by cattle breeders who were able to ir advertise tuberculosis-free herds was it so great that skeptics were convinced, si and now many localities have taken up a the problem und are rapidly cleaning ll up all herds within their boundaries, c< In fact, nt the present time this method of cleaning up circumscribed areas y Is the predominant'one. Nine counties in the United States ^ have now completed one or more official tuberculosis tests of the cattle within those areas, and about 50 counties are now either engaged in this work or are getting ready to take It up. In some of the counties the super- 61 visors appropriate funds to employ Inspectors who help the state and federal officials. In others the farm bureaus have taken the Job In hand. * Hillsdale County a Model. One of the best examples of what a ^ county can do in getting rid of this destructive disease/Is found In Hills- P dale county, Mich. On October 24 a " campaign was launched with the idea f> of cleaning out all the diseased cattle. e A force of 30 county, state, and fed- 11 eral Inspectors was organized. They divided up the territory, giving a part is of u township to each man. The coun- ^ ty farm bureau furnished automobiles ? that were driven by the fanners who 'r were leaders In the communities and had Influence with the live-stock own- w ers. By November 5 every herd In the 11 county had been tested. There were 2.331) herds, containing i 11 15,773 cattle, ami 375 reactors were found. This means that about 2;4 per cent of the cattle in liie county hud rite <11.- ?ase- a rather low percentage. /! In sections where the disease Is no | more extensive than this, the cost of c lean-up is almost negligible when eompared with the good that must ultimately come from it. In this county the farmers and breeders, and in fact all the people of the county, were en- f thuslastie, which helped a great deal i townr<I getting the work done in such ' |, ' a short time. j f Other Counties Become Interested. v j Some of the most progressive live- a | stock counties in various parts of the o country are now taking up this prole t Winter Feed for Hens.

Prepared bjr the United States Department of Agriculture.) All farm animals that die from unnown causes should preferably be uried deep in quicklime. Many out* reaks of Infectious diseases owe their rlgin to carcasses which were; allowed > decompose in the open pastures or am lots to which other animals had ccess. The United States Department f Agriculture advises every farmer ho suffers mortality among his live tock fjjom unknown causes to have a ompetent veterinarian make a postlortem examination and cremate the emaiua or bury them deep in quickme. Hugs, next to poultry, are usually le most numerous live stock on the verage farm, and as hog cholera is tie most dreaded scourge which Jeoprdlzes the porker population, it la bllgatory that the, carcasses of hogs ying from unknpwn causes should be urned or buried deep in quicklime, n old metal wheel serves as an ex>Uent base for the funeral pyre. The heel should be raised five or six iches above the ground on three or )ur stones, so that a tire can be indled underneath It. The carcass of le dead hog should be placed on this heel. In order that the carcasS will urn readily and thoroughly, it should e slashed deeply with a knife so that le flames may penetrate to the fat nd all the carcass burn rapidly. Where horses or cattle die, so much ibor Is involved in digging trenches f sufficient size and depth to accoralodate-tliem that It Is preferable to ig deep a smaller grave and to dlslember the carcasses so they will fit 1 the small space. These graves tiould be not less than five feet deep nd .the carcasses should be covered ilckly with quicklime, which will soon onsume the fleshy portions. VATER FOR COWS IN WINTER f Possible It Should Be 15 or 20 Degrees Above Freezing?Steam Boiler Is Handy. During the winter, when cows are fabled the greater part of the time, ley should be watered two or three meg a day unless arrangements have een made to keep water before them t all times, says the United States epartment of Agriculture, In Farmrs' Bulletin 743, "'The Feeding of >alry Cows."' The water should if osslble be 15 or 20 degrees above rvcv.lag, and should be supplied at/ roctlcally the same temperature evry day. When water well above freez- / ig temperature Is stored in tanks nd piped directly to the cow, there i probably little occasion to warm It. i'hen It stands in a tank on which ice ften forms, It usually pays to warm siiKiMijk. nits iuii uc uuut; uy a ink heater, by live steam or by hot ater from a boiler.
