AMERICAN SLANG.
British People Find it Wonderfully
Interesting.
"Sammy's appearance, social
conduct, and -conversation, to say
nothing of his military prowess, have
endeared him to all classes in France
and England. French newspapers
tell of his chivalrous attitude toward
the fair sex generally, and his kindly,
paternal way with children in
war-racked villages; the English
dailies print columns about his alert,
military bearing, and the charm of
his native slang. This last characteristic
draws forth the following
letter on "What Sammy Says," which
is taken from the London Daily
Mail: v
J J T 1 CI. ^
Sammy is in my waru, auu i unc
v him. His face he describes as "one
of the sort that only a mother could
love," but somehow, lantern-jawed
and high-cheeked as it is, it appeals
to me.
Even more than his face I like
his conversation. His experiences
during the war are, I suppose, much
the same as those of other men; his
V*
mode of relating them is peculiarly
his own. The picturesque imagery
with which he adorns his speech may
be an old story in "God's country"?
to me it is a thing of wonder and a
joy forever.
I/; He came over "the big drink"
some months ago. He had a pleasant
voyage, saw no "tin fish," and had
plenty to eat?"six meals a day,
,,tv Hriu-n " On arrival at
r4 ' V till CC up uuu uv < 4A. ^ ..
:r' ' * the port they got into "the dinkiest
little train ever." Before it started,
the captain asked for a key to wind
?yit ud with. Sammy says that personally
he intends to take one home
-Ov as a charm to hang on his watch
chain.
v i \They went into camp, where they
RJ V spent their time "hiking" about the
" countryside. The "eats" here were
not over good. They were given tea
t "which tasted like the last water
Noah kept afloat in," and fish that
was never caught, but must have given
itself up." However, they made
their motto, "Work like Helen B.
Happy," and stuck it out bravely.
The one thing that really "got their
goat" was having to sleep on terra
firma. That, Sammy ' says, is Latin
for "terribly hard."
Ultimately-he and his companions
crossed to the front. The country
;** pleased Sammy, but he found the
fjZ language difficult and the French
!?>,- people slow of comprehension. On
one occasion he wanted a pair of
duck shoes, so he went into a boot
maker's and quacked?but he
!&' couldn't get the old dame "wise" to
r .
i<W. ' For the fight that put hinr out of
action Sammy says his lieutenant
was responsible. "He was sure tired
" of his position and crazy on becom}ng
a captain or an angel." Sammy
was ready enough to help, but a
Boche shell intervened xand insisted
p} on sending in his name with, an apl-plication
for immediate transfer to
f * the "Flying Corps."
Hence his presence in the hospital.
It is my duty to give Sammy his
letters and today, as he read a voluminous
epistle his face brightened to
such an extent that I was forced to
; inquire what good tidings had Arrived.
He hesitated, then grinned. "I
1^.don't mind telling you, nurse," he
said. "It's my wife writing, and
from what she says 1 calculate when
I get home there'll be something besides
a fence running around my
little place in Seattle.
%. . Sammy goes to sea tomorrow, nad
I sha^I miss him badly. He himself
is, all anxietv for an early return to
bST '
a front where he anticipates a real
good time for the Yanks and a cor
respondingly bad one for Jerry. The
latter is assuredly up against the
"straight goods" at last. Anyway,
whatever happens to the English,
for the U. S. A. forces it is going to
be "heaven, hell or Hoboken by
Christmas."
Sammy says so.

The Only Guy.
With all that has been printed
about America's plans for winning
the war in the air, one man has* been
!; found who didn't know that the United
States has airplanes.
Airplanes from Scott Field fly over
Jefferson barracks almost daily.
When one appeared Friday a drafted
man, who had just arrived from Wisconsin,
ran out of a shower bath
without stopping to dress, and gazed
up at it. "Say," he cried, "That's
Lawson. Why, I didn't know Lawson
ever came this far south. Well,
what do you know about that."
"Who s i^awson r several recruus
inquired.
"Why Lawson, of Green Bay." the
Wisconsin man replied. "The man
that owns the airship."
Gently hut firmly the unclad
rookie from the Badger State was
apprised of the fact that there are
' more aviators than Lawson, ahd that
a number of them are working for
Uncle Sam.?St. Louis Post Dispatch.
"PIG CLUB" GIRL'S RECORD.
Miss Zola Walker, of Edgefield,
Makes $1211 From Buroc Sow.
Edgefield. Feb. 22.?Miss Zola
Walker, of this county, has made
the best show of any of the pig club
members of the county, and the second
best of all in the State. She is
very proud of the fact, and gives
a practical and interesting story of
her methods and experiences. She
said in part to a corespondent
that as in every other undertaking
worth while, it requires method and
attention in raising hogs.
"I started with one sow pig, a
full-blooded Duroc-Jersey," she said,
and now have not only a beautiful
sow, but a perfectly lovely litter of
? joil vmi rmict have
IJlgb. rjiai ui
well-bred stock; they are so much
better than scrubs that comparison
is difficult. Green feeds are important
in raising hogs. It keeps them
healthy and in good growing condition,
it makes them shed off, have a
good appetite, fatten and grow more
than anything else, and besides it reduces
the cost of production. I did
not feed my sow very much at farrowing
time, because I was cautioned
not to have her too fat, nor for
the first week after farrowing time
did I feed her much. But after the
first week, I added to the warm milk
and slops I had been feeding, fine
feed, corn and other things substantial.
Before weaning, I fed my litter
warm milk and slops, but after
o r? rj or? whAUt shrifts. OOm
^ UUVkVVk .? wv? V .r7
meal, and .other feeds of this kind.
They were fed three times a day. I
have enjoyed being a pig club girl
so much that I am planning to do a
greater work for my county another
year.' To maks a good pig club boy
or girl it takes a good lively person,
who is not afraid to work, and one
who loves animals and will care for
them as they should be."
The following is the result of Miss
Walker's efforts as a pig club girl,
in which she won a prize of $15 in
war savings stamps and a free trip
to Charleston. Her pig cost $41.75,
the additional cost of feed and attention
to the end of contest was
47.09, making a total cost of $88.84.
The value of the sow at the end of
the contest was $125 and of pigs on
hand $175; total value being $300.
The total net profit was $211.16,
certainly a nice little profit to come
from a Duroc sow and a litter of
Pigs.
SPEAKS TO WILSON ON SEA.
Six Hundred Miles at Sea Hears the
Greeting of Secretary of Navy.
Washington, Feb. 22.?George
Washington's birthday witnessed a
'O'-nrd hroatine' snientifio feat todav
4VVV1^ ?*? .o ^? ?
when secretary of the navy Daniels,
sitting in his office, talked to President
Wilson on board the U. S. S..
.George Washington 600 miles at
sea. The total distance traversed by
Sec. Daniels's voice was 1,700 miles.
The conversation was carried on
over the wireless telephone which
the navy department has now develed
to a high degree of efficiency, so i
much so that transmission of the j
human voice across the ocean will
be common at no distant date, it is
thought.
Today's conversation was one-sided
to the extent that the wireless
telephonic apparatus on the George
Washington is effective only at short
range sp the president could not reply
to Mr. Daniels's greetings in such
a manner that the secretary of the
navy would hear him. Wireless
telegraph, however, stated that the i
president had heard clearly the!
words Mr. Daniels said to him.
This was the message Secretary
Daniels spoke into the ear of the
president:
"Mr. President: You will receive a
great welcome when you arrive at
Boston^ The destroyers and the aircraft
and the Denver will meet you.
tMayor Peters and Admiral Wood
have made ail arrangements.
"See you Tuesday. Great welcome
in Washington. Good-bye."
In the room with Secretary Daniels,
when he transmitted his message
to the president, were Rear Admiral
Griffin, chief of the bureau of
navigation; Commander Foote, personal
aide of the secreatry; Commander
Cooper, of the radio service
and Yoeman Farrell, who made
the mechanical arrangements for the
conversation.
The telephone on Mr. Daniels's
desk had been connected with the
rarh'n transmitter at the srreat trans
Atlantic station in New Brunswick,
Canada.
Secretary Daniels's voice operated
through the induction coils of the
radio at New Brunswick just as if
the impulse had been given by the
wireless telegraph key there so that
the direct communication with the
president was about 1,700 miles.
Secretary Daniels spoke in loud
tone of voice as though he were delivering
a peroration before a large
audience. He repeated "^good-bye"
several times.
