? HAD 15 MINUTES TO LIVE. ; General Butler and Buttermilk Saves, D( Life of Soldier. m( A combination of "pep" and butter- lik milk administered by Brigadier Gen- coi eral Smedley D. Butler, Commander th of the Marine Corps station at Quan- wi tico, Va., saved the life of Private Frederick F. Ladd. I 1 Ladd had double pneumonia, and a the medical authorities told him he ed would not live more chan fifteen min- th: p^tf^utes. He sent word to Gen. Butler, to " who left his breakfast and rushed to an the hospital. co: "Marines don't die in bed," declared Gen. Butler. "Marines die on an the battlefield," he continued, looking en Ladd squarely in the eye and holding th; him firmly by ihe hand. "You've got tic to fight and fight hard. You've got to in fight for your life, Ladd. Are you ed going to do it?" ? ah Ladd repeated this statement, and we replied in the affirmative, adding that it made him "feel kind of good." B. "Now, what do you want?" asked P? Gen. Butler in the same tone. Di "Buttermilk." ' wc Gen. Butler turned to the doctor, ve: who informed him buttermilk should *ai not be prescribed. ^ "Well, you told him he can live only cox fifteen minutes. Why not get him what he wants?" Gen. Butler demand- inc ed. th( Gen. Butler directed his orderly to ^ai get buttermilk. A few minutes later ar-' word reached the General that no bluttermilk was to be had on the en( reservation. "The nearest place we can get it is Fredericksburg, twenty-two miles away, sir," he was told. "Get the fastest car and go for it," ^ ordered the general. Again turning to Ladd, Gen. Butler declared that he already had lived Bo more than fifteen minutes. ^3 " .r 1 x X. 1:? ?_A:I .? < "iou nave got to uvc uutu ?c gu w Fredericksburg and get our butter- on! milk; you've got to put up a fight and ses get well." Speed regulations were ignored by me the orderly in the race to Fredericksburg and back again. 'They brought me the buttermilk," se< said Ladd. "1 guess I drank a half- va gallon. It certainly did taste good, and I have been getting better right along. I have been out of bed for in two weeks arid am now going to make a live of it." x an ? | fai ~ I'nHorstnnHintr , sn( en By E. A. Guest eq, When I was young and frivolous and m2 never stopped to think, wo When I was always doing wrong, or sta or just upon the brink; ^ When I was just a lac! of seven and C0l eight and nine and ten, atj It seemed to me that every day I got coj in trouble then, sh( And strangers used to shake their w0 heads and say i was no good, prj But father always stuck to me?it seems he understood. ^ as I used to have to go to him 'most every night and say i The dreadful things that I had done to worry folks that day. pr) I know I didn't mean to be a turmoil i round the place, q0 And with the womenfolks about for- on( ever in disgrace; ap To do the way they said I should, I tried the best I could, sta But though they scolded me a lot? my father understood. He never seemed to think it queer that I should risk my bones, C0 Or fight with other boys at times, or i pelt a cat with stones; ? An' when I'd break a window pane, it used to make him sad, But though the neighbors said I was, 1 he never thought me bad; He never whipped me, as they used to say to me he should; ? That boys can't always do what's right " ?it seemed he understood. < Now there's that little chap of mine, ^ just full of life and fun, cor Comes up to me with solemn face to , tell the bad he's done. _2! It's natural for any boy to be a rogue- fL ish elf, ~ He hasn't time to stop and think and . figure for himself, And though the womenfolks insist . * that I should take a hand, 1 They've never been a boy themselves, and they don't understand. Some day I've got to go up there, and make a sad report And tell the father of us all where I have fallen short; And there will be a lot of wrong I never meant to do, A lot of smudges on my sheet that He will have to view. And little chance for heavenly bliss, up there will I command, Unless the Father smiles and says: "My boy, I understand." 8 Send us your order for school in4fete vitations.

There cannot be the least doubt the world that organization is need-1 among the country women. It has j rays been needed but it seems that ; are just now getting to the place tere we can have it.

We realize that the women on the m should have equal conveniences d training with the men on the :m. Not only the girls on the farm mid have these advantages but evr girl in the state should have jal advantage with every young in in the state. Educate all the men and very soon the state will md at the top instead of the lowest ucationallv. Therefore, we, as a incil, fail to see why the approprion for Winthrop, the only state lege for women in South Carolina, mid be so much less for the young men of the state than the approation for the young men of the ite?almost three to one, whereas, ; enrollment for Winthrop is almost great as the enrollment for the ee men's colleges. We must not see the work of Winop crippled as it will be with the ?sent appropriation. , We beg of you. dear Governor oper, that you will use your influ:e with the legislature to have this propriation increased and that you 11 see to it that the women of the tte are not discriminated against.
