from this port in a few days if will
carry the happiest boy in the world,
\/ says Howard Kahn, formerly of St.
f Paul, Minn., writing from a French
port January 20. That is the way
he characterizes himself. I would
call him the nerviest boy in. the
. world. \
His name is Aubrey McLeod. He
is a former student at Purdue i
University, a resident of Boston, and
he served in an Indiana battery on
the Mexican border last year.
All of which has nothing to do ,
with why he is the happiest and the <
, nerviest boy in the world. 1
When histories of the present war
are written Aubrey McLeod's name !
^wili So down as the first American
casualty. The air raid on Base
Hospital No. 12,1 American Expedi- <
tionary forces, which resulted in
. the death of Lieut. Fitzsimmons, of
the medical corps, and three privates
early in July, injured McLeod so
seriously that his two legs had to
be amputated six inches above the
knees. This much has been briefly
mentioned in newpaper dispatches,
but nothing has been said about
McLeod or his hopes for the future.
I 'met a hospital sergeant .-on a
train bound for this port the other

home," he said. "Would you like
to see him?"
I was not sure. I had seen a lot of
French and German "Mutiles"
during four,months at the French
front, and the memory of some of
them was still with me. I did not
know whether I wanted to see a
pale-faced, drawn and suffering
American. I had known some of
McLeod's friends on the Mexican,
"border last summer, however, and I
. thought! some news of them, might
cheer him a bit.
McLeod Located.
I entered his compartment. Two
soldiers were there. Both were
hearty, red-cheeked, fresh looking
Americans, neither of whom appeared
to have known what a day's illness
meant. "Where's McLeod?" I asked.
"My name is McLeod," replied one
of them smiling.
Then I noticed that the lower part
: of his body was covered with a rug.

American people accept their misfortunes

"Looking for ' a sick man?" !
laughed McLeod, reading my ;
thoughts . "There's nobody sick i
around here. I may get a little sea- <
sick in a few days, but there won't
be anything serious about it." i
' "Just what happened?" ]
"A fleet of Boche planes. They ]
dropped six bombs. One of 'em got ;
me. Now I'm minus two legs." ]
McLeod said all this with a smile 1
on his face. 1
"I had been on guard. Somebody
relieved me and I lay down for some
sleep. I heard a commotion and
jumped to my feet. Two bombs went
off and I knew it was an air raid. <
,
Then a third exploded very near me. (
Another man in my unit began yell- ]
ing, 'Help me,' and I saw that he was <
wounded. Then I looked down and !
saw that my right leg was almost j
cut in two. I didn't feel a bit of
pain, but I began yelling too,, just i
like the other fellow was doing. I ]
remember the cojonel ran in and j
looked at me and held me up until i
two men came with a stretcher. ]
"Next thing I knew was when I j
woke up the following day. I <
remembered about ' my right leg
dangling as if ready to drop off. I
reached down and found that it was
gone. Then I reached for my left
leg. It was gone, too." 1
Did His Duty, That's All
. Please remember that McLeod was ]
not telling this with tragedy in his ,
voice. There were no sighs, no self- .
pity. There was merely an air of
satisfaction?satisfaction at having (
done his duty. He did not show
the least indications that he considered
that he had done more.
"I called for my nurse," he continued,
"and I remember that I had a
long argument with her before I
sank off to sleep again. I told her
that she had promised they wouldn't
amputate my leg, and here they had
amputated both of them. I told her
that I thought it was not fair to be
lied to like that. But there was no
heart-breaking realization that I-was
a cripple for life. I was too full of
morphine for that. And bv the
timo tho mnrnhine had worn off I
suppose I had quit worrying about
the future."
"And Now?"
"Well I'm going home. I want to
hear 'em speak English like Americans.
I want the kind of food my
I mother knows how to cook. When

Will Issue No List of "Nonessentials"
No list of nonessential farm products
to be denied transportation
facilities, has been prepared by the
Director General of Railroads, and
the issuance of such an order is not
contemplated. * * .
It is believed that under the plan
aow being formulated it will be
possible to provide adequate transportation
for farm products this
year. Farmers are instructed to
'
place orders for cars when needed
with local freight agents, as heretofore.

Paint Shades Will Be Reduced.
To conserve tin, linseed oil, and
3ther ingredients of paint and paint
containers necessary for war use,
manufacture will be limited to 32
shades of house paint after July 1.
Some firms are now making 100'
shades of this class of paint.
Enamels will be restricted by the
manufacturers 'to 8 shades, floor
paint to 8, roof and barn paint to 2,
shingle stains to 12, carriage paint
:o 8, architectural varnishes to 10.
Half-gallon cans will not be used,
and some other sizes will be discontinued.

Ship Supply 20 Per Cent. Short.
The Food Administration estimates
the total number of ocean-going
vessels now afloat at 30,000,
having a gross tonnage of 45,000,000
tons. Losses of shipping
during the war have
the supply of ships is about 20 per
cent short of normal.
Shipbuilding in France has been
at a standstill since the beginning of
the war; England's output is less
than normal; Japan is hampered by
lack of material; the American ship
supply is only beginning. !

Dr. William Brady in an article about
calomel in the Atlanta Constitution recently
said:
"Calomel is a cathartic and a very
crude and. superfluous one. It produces
no special effect upon the liver
or upon the secretion of bile. It has
^10 more influence over biliousness
than any other active physic. It is
just the ancient standby, cheaper
than most other physics and retained
in use because old dogs seldom learn
new tricks."
As a substitute for a poison like
calomel modern physicians prescribe
purely vegetable cathartics. MarFor

Half Your Living
Without Money Cost
We are all at a danger point On
the use of good common sense in our
1918 farm and garden operations depends
prosperity or our "going broke."
Even at present high prices no one
can plant all or nearly all cotton, buy
food and grain at present prices from
supply merchant on credit and make
money. Food and grain is higher in
proportion than are present cotton
prices.
It's a time above all others to play
safe; to produce all possible food,
grain and forage supplies on your own
acres; to cut down the store bill.
A good piece of garden ground,
risrhtlv planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay nearly half your living. It
will save you more money than you
made on the best three acres of cotton
you ever grew!
| Hastings' 1918 Seed Book tells all
I about the right kind of a money sav|
ing garden and the vegetables to put
in it. It tells about the farm crops as
well and shows you the clear road to
real and regular farm prosperity. It's
Free. Send for it today to H. G.
