At this point when :w 12nd Division had lIlactically taken Sedanl, our di vision sector was moved to the right in order to -allow the French who were on our left, as a mcter of sentiment, to take Sedan which they did in great style. Proin this front began the hike into Germany. On the march Into Germany, the etngineers were at various tiies call ed on to performi different duties, all of Which 'were Irompl)y and proper iy dlone without quostion; they won conimendation and praise from every source. When they ' ieached Ger m11ally and the division "Was set" do I aclinents and details were scattered over the eitire divisional area up to the Rhine river and while other or ganizations were resting, the engi neers were building stables, mes halls, operating public utilities, fix Ing electric lights, superinjending Gerniitanl wor'k on the roads and mak ing crosses to mark the graves of tlheir friends and comrades, whose bodies were resting in GerTnan soil. Inl addition to this the engineers had to furtish details for giarding rail roads, hIti lings and operatilg target r'anges al:d were suppost'd to drill every day.

Like other engineers, these men had no oi)portunity or desire to (o anything flashy or spectacular. They did their duty as they saw it and asked for no special commendation or favors because of having taken part and performed their share of the ,work of saving the world from the dominion of the hellhound commonly called The Kaiser. The engineers, like all others of our men who have offered their lives as a sacrifice on the (altar of freedom and liberty, a)preeiate the warm wel come 'that is given to ethem by the homefofks; naturaily, they liko for their work to be appreciated and .the "hero stuff" is all very good, but re ceptions and warm words of welcome soon grow monotonous if the m0n are not provided with jobs where they can earn a livelihood. tt is of the utmost importance, therefore, that every fa cility be used to arrange for these men to get to work as soon as .possi ble. They are better citizens than 'wilen they !:t and they are better trained to performi the work that is ex lieeted of them. I hope that no means will be spared to Irovide jobs for these mni as quickly as possible and after tley are demobilized. LEMON JUICE FOR FRECKLES Girls! Make beauty lotion for a few cents-Try It!

We put away millions of pounds of fine Kentucky Burley tobacco every year, stored in wooden hogsheads. It ripens two years.

Nature has given it a delicious quality of mildness and fragrance that no artificial means can ever equal.
