Would you? That is i In* question that Serjeant Alvin C. York bas'lo face. His answer Is "No." lie wilb not commercialize bis patriotism. Ills sense of obligation lo bis coir ii try and bis religious scru ples prevent. "1 would far rather lose my farm and ko back to work upon it as a day laborer than to commercialize the fame which was only incidental to an act of Providence," he says. That "act of providence" made the red-beaded sergeant famous as the war's greatest hero, not only through out America but In every allied coun try. On Oct. 18, 11)18, in the Argonne forest, York single-handed killed 'Jfr Germans, put out of commission 155 machine guns and marched into camp 1 German captives, Including a ma jor mid three lieutenants. For hl? feat he won the Congressional Medal of Honor and the Croix de Cue rue, pinned on by Marshal Koch. Spurns Movie! Stage. Spurning movie and vaudeville of fers that would have made him rich, he came back to his mother's hillside farm and took up the hoe. A short time later he married a girl of the neighborhood. Friends and ad mirers picked out a farm for him al most directly across the road from the farm of his mother, and paid $11, '> on It through popular subscrip tion. For a time things moved serenely, York, whose whole ambition had been ; to own a home in his Tennessee moun tains, farm his own land, hunt the foxes that roamed the hills and show' true hospitality to the strangers who passed his door, was wholly content. A little later Alvin C. Jr. came, and life seemed even more worth llvhig. But such good fortune was i^>t to last. Crops Are a Failure. Crops were a big disappointment. Farm products brought exceptionally tow prices. Taxes reached an un precedented high llfture. With the $12,000 mortgage for the balance on his farm due this fall, things went from bad to worse. A grocery hill accumulated ami i lie grocer feels unable to extend .much more credit. York is tolling from "kin to kant" ? from earliest break of day to the last lingering of light ? to prevent i Ids life's dream from being shattered. Hut It looks like a vain task. "Religions faith sustained me in my danger and removed my fear," he says. "I was only a pawn tn the hand of Providence. Any credit that is due for my achievements should go to the Lord. For me to attempt to take any credit personally would be a great wrong. "But He will see me through!" j YOKE THEIR WIVES WITH OXEN Moroccan Men Despise Work, but Think It Good for Their Women Folk.

MODERN MENACE IN CtllNA V ? f Living In Houu Equipped With Qaa Range* and Faithful Servants, H?s t*.? Gi'oJ I'omiU. Our twostOiy house consisted ot two big rooms downstair* unci sleep ing apurtments and a liny roof gar den upstairs. In this roof garden 1 spent most of my time, and there my son Wilfred and his amah passed muny afternoons! It *wus u pleasant, suuu> place, furnished with painted steamer chairs, rugs and bhMjinlng planus In pottery Jars, writes M. T. R In Asia Maga/lne. At the back, rather removed from the main part of tin* house, wore the kitchen, serv ant*' quartern ami an open air hum ilry. We were really very practical and modern ami comfortable, t Hi r kltehen provided for an admirable com promise between old and new methods. It had an KttgliSh gas range and a Chinese one. ltnt the proper Chinese atmosphere was preserved by three well-trained servants. who failed themselves Ah Chlng, Ah Ling ami Ah Poll, Most Shanghai servants are failed simply "Hoy" or "Amah" or "Coolie," but ours Chose those names mm distinctive for servants there as James and Hrldget are with us. Ah Chlng did most ot' the housework and the running of errands; Ah Hug did the marketing and cooking. giving us h pleasantly varied succession of Chi nese and foreign dishes ; Ah l'oh. the amah, looked fitter Wilfred and at tended to my personal wants. From the tirst I was fond of Ah Poh, with her finely formed, Intelli gent features, her soft voice and gen tie, unhurried manner. She had served an American mistress before coming to me, but showed a surprising wil lingness to adopt my particular way of doing things, whether In making beds/ In keeping my clothes in order, or i ii entertaining Wilfred. on the other hand, Ah filing, elderly, gruve and full of responsibility, was very partial to his accustolue<l way of :ir ranging furniture and of washing win dows and Moors. If left to himself he would dust odd nooks and corners faithfully, but if I made any formal Inspection of his labors he would in Variably sliuht them ? to intimate that I should not be suspicions, as a friend explained ? a form of logic that I found highly amusing. Ah Idng. aside from his culinary ability, whs chioll.v interesting because his eyes were real ly oblique ? as Chinese eyes are sti ]> posed to he, ami usually are not, and bemuse Ids hair really curled as Chi nese lniir is supposed never to do, and does occasionally. He Beat It. C. Tom Johnson, chief clerk of the city board of health, recently com pleted a coitr.se in. the Henjamiu Har rison Law school, passing his. final examination with* high honors. Con sequently his two small children, Viv ian. age nine, and Jerry, uge six, cred it him with considerably more than the usual wisdom. " I went home the other night," Johnson said, "and found the young sters sitting on t.he front steps wait ing for me. 1 hadn't been there live minutes till/ they had asked me us many questions in u row that would stump the fellows who pass Thomas A. Kdison's examination. Jerry start ed out : "'is there any ending to the sky?' he asked. Vivian had been to school, and heard something about gravity, so she asked : 'If gravitation would stop, would the earth bump Into the sun?' ' Jerry came right back with: 'Who Is God?' and Vivian wanted to know where the devil lives. Then she asked whether the people on Mars are like us, and I gave up and beat It." ? Indianapolis News. Chills Good for Plants. Strange as it may st'i'ili, a period of chilling is a general requirement of northern plants. Itlpe hi ue# terries were gathered In February, Manii and April in the greenhouses of (lie l.'nited States department of Agriculture as a ?result of experiments In the stimula tion of plant growth hy a period of chilling. These plants were of the large hybrids, developed from wild blueberries through 10 years of selec tion and breeding. The largest berries readied a diameter over three-quarters of an inch. At various times from midsummer to autumn the plants were placed In glass frames artificially chilled. After two or three months' chilling, they were hroujfht int" a greenhouse and began growing and flowering at once, while similar plants that had not been through the chllbng period continued dormant In the green house. It has only recently been dis covered Hint a period of chilling pro duces such beneficial results. ? V V. Times. Transmute# Metals.
