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."

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."

jar Editor of Record:
As all of the ciub women, especially

:e to hear something of the short
urse for women and girls at Winrop,
If you will kindly let me, I
11 use your columns.
It has to be seen to be appreciated,
don't believe that I have ever seen
more wholesome or mere dcterminworking
body than prevailed at
is conference. jj?. was inspiring
see and feel the enthusiasm there,
d I am impressed that a great and
instructive work was done.
It was particularly pleasing to see j
organization of state farm wornin
council. We were made to feel
at it was a step in the right direc>n.
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. President D.
Johnson gave us a lecture on the
ssibilities of a woman's coa ?cil.

ice of a woman's council and what
can accomplish for the community,
inty and the women themselves.
i also had lectures on specialized
lustries and marketing. Several of
; older councils made reports. They
d realized $400 at curb markets,
other reporting $100 maiie .vt one

closing a letter that was written to
i governor by the council.
Mrs. S. W. Minis.
The letter referred to above by Mrs.
ms follows:
IVinthrop College, Rock Hills S. C.,
June 9th, 1921.
n. R. A. Cooper, Cplumbia, S. C.,
r dear Governor Cooper:
3n June 7th, at the Home Demonstration
Annual Short Course in
;sion at Winthrop College, was ornized
a state council for farm wo

> what wonderful and nuexcelled adntages
are here offered to every
1 from the farm for a well roundlife
either on the farm or in bus!SS.
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.
