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!"

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."

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.
