' Wiscdnsin d^ryhYen and ' farmers, desirous of increashig their profit and' adding still greiter honor* to their already famous dairy Stale, have joined in a State-wide campaign to eliminate- the scrub-bull and use only pure-bred stres. The record made last year in the Brown County Cow Testing Association typifies the rrter ftr;6f pure-Bred bulls and illustrates Why farmers and dairymen will not tolerate the scrub. In this association fl 2 cows qualified for the register of production. ATI of these cows were daughters of pure-bred sires, six of them, being daughters of one sire. The rrve best herds in the association are headed by pure-bred sires, while the five poorest herds are alt headed by grade or scrub sires. The herds of those farmers who used pure-bred sires' averaged 85 pounds more fat a dow" than those using .'grades or scrubs. Last year eight of the members pur tffi'Sse'd pure-bred sires of known breeding to replace their scrubs*. S. L. I. SUPPER. Members? of The Surnter light Infan tryRjeserves-Combine Pleasure With Duty.

The school's patrons and teachers and children of Concord school turn ed o'ut in large force last night and filled." the auditorium of that school at the 'first health lecture of the county health survey. Miss ""Wo'olfoik. of the Red Cross H<%me Service work now assisting the Fimter section of that service ad dressed the meeting in a splendid in terpretation of the peace program of that service, and Miss Mamie Chan dler, "local directress also invited the people of "Concord to cooperate with the" Red ' Cross in this work. Miss Alice J. Martin, home demon stration agent who originated the idea of last night's meeting in cooperation with the Red Cross and the health survey, and who arranged for the meeting delivered a very interesting contaminated milk. Miss Martin used the care of milk and the dangers of cdntiminated milk. Miss Martin used lantern slides in her lecture showing h?w unclean milking and dairy sur roundings of the milking place, un clean utensils for milking and holding milk caused; bacteria to infect the milk, and produce disease. She em phasized the* unusual disease spread ing qualities of contaminated milk. Dr. D. T. Rankin, director of field work of the health survey went very thoroughly into the fly borne disease ;problerh& by his illustrated lecture. His-description of the history of the fly and its various methods of disease spreading was plain, comprehensive, and easily understood by his hear ers! Dr. Rankin also used lantern slides in his lecture. The applause given each speaker, and the thanks extended them by numbers of the audience after the meeting showed that the meeting had secured results in so far as future cooperation is concerned. Secretary E. I. Reardon. of the Chamber of Commerce presided and made a short talk about the general objects and benefits of the- health survey and the rural visiting nurse soon to be put to work in this coun ty. The teachers of Concord school are much interested in the public health work of the health survey and co operated in getting out the patrons and pupils for last night's meeting.

My heart is sick for just a sight of him, JHis big bright eyes and wealth of | tousled hair. They've said to me: "He is a soldier man, Talk brown and grim, and on the firing line"; It may have been: I've seen him dressed like this ? Full khaki clad?that little bay; of J mine. , ... y But never once did he seem that ? to me; The soldier man was always pass ing strange; I could not grasp, nor think nor feel That his few years could work so great a change. I si?w-in nim the baby that I nursed; The small boy praying nightly at my knee; The sturdy lad just home from school or play, ? Glad that I was?and always want ing me! I could trace this baby, boy and lad In that grim man on the line across I he sea; Folks talked in \*ain; I never under stood: And he was just my little boy to me. Out there in France I knew he would be brave-? That soldier man so tall and brown and grim? And he would meet with steady hand and-heart Whatever fate might hold in store for him. B?ck here at home I kept a secret hoard Of humble-gleanings from the pass ing years; A battered top, a knife, a picture book, Worn-by my lips and wet with rain ing tears. i counted these, and gathered to nry^ breast The dog he loved, a mut of Gypsy line, And worked-, and hoped, and asked through all the hours That God would keep that little boy of mine. \ And now, they say he's coming baefc to me; Back home from France; from out Of Flanders' mud; From field, from trench, from out of hell itself; Back home from death; bathed .. deep in seas of blood. He's coming back from battles <. scarcely cold; With soil of carnage mattered where it fell; He's coming home, proud stripes upon his sleeve, Their tale of daring, gallant dbed? to tell. I wonder now just what my eyes shall see When I look up and find him at the door? The soldier man of whom the records proudly boast, Or that small boy I nursed and loved before? It seems to me my heart can never change. No wisdom come to make my vision see; Let record count him soldier if it will. He'll always be my little boy to me. And so, perchance, when he comes back to me. All spent, full honored, from the battle line, My arms shall hold, not soldier brave and great, But clasp, instead, that little boy of mine. ?Katharine Dahgerfield. in Erook lyrt Eagle.

The 30th in Battle History of Operations of Old Hickory Division Received by Governor Cooper. (By Harold BOokev.) Columbia, March 1.?The first of ficial history of the operations of the Thirtieth Division has been received! in this country. Representative W. R. Bradford, chairman of the, ways and means committee of the house, is in receipt of a printed booklet giv ing the official account of the op-f ('erations of the divisions in France. The book was sent him by Sergeant I.A. C. Lytle of Company G. 118th In fantry. This is the Fort Mill com pany of the old First South Carolina I regiment. Representative Bradford was the first captain of this company which was. at that time known as Fort Mill Light infantry. Gov. Cooper is in receipt of an original copy of the account, this having been sent him by Col. Holmes B. Springs. The achievements of this wonderful fighting machine are among the most wonderful in the history of warfare and their narra tion makes a thrilling story. The story tells in a graphic way of the Operations of the division and in de tail relates how the "Old Hickory" division attacked the Hindenburg line, capturing two' German divisions, taking several thousand men and capturing that wonderful under ground tunnel system which was considered by the Germans an ab- . solutely impregnable sector, because of the unusual barbed wire and ma chine gun protection and the subter ranean system of secret tunnels, con necting, several' villages. Seventeen staff 'officers of the divis ion /were cited by the commanding general. Major General E. M. Lewis, for their "Untiring zeal and entire devotion to the responsible duties of their respective positions during the operations of the Thirtieth Division from September'2 to October - 20. 1918." The following officers re ceived this commendation of their commander: Col. John Keer, chief of staff; Lieut. Cot F. B. Kobes, A. C of S.; Major Burton Y. Read, A, C. of S., Lieut. Col. Charles Burnett. A. C. ofS.; Col. A. M. Whaley, Di vision' Surgeon, Cok H. B. Springs, Acting Division Quartermaster; Lieut. CoT. 'James G. Taylor, Division Sig nal Officer; Major Frank A. Mon tr?se,' Division Signal Officer; Ma jor J; Shapter Caldwell, Acting Di vision Adjutant; First Lieut. Frank E. Barber, A. D. C; Brig. General L. D. Rys?n, commanding 59th Brigade: Brig. Gen. S. L. Faison, Commanding 60th Brigade; Col. Joseph H. Pratt. Commanding 105th Engineers; Col. Carey F. Spence, Commanding 117th rhfantry; Col. Orrin R. Wolfe. Com manding 118th Infantry; Col. J. Van B. .Motts, Commanding 119th Infan try and Col. Sidney L. Minor, com manding 120th Infantry. In his order commending- these 3taff officers the commanding general refers to the loyalty and able., service of. all the, officers of the division "remarkable for its harmony, indus try and efficiency." The history received by Governor Cooper was prepared by Col. John EC. Kerr,- chief of Staff of the division i whose signature appears in the back of the book. In the history of the division's op erations are published letters from , :he commander-in-chief expressing . appreciation of the wonderful work 3f his men. There are also letters from Major General John Monash. commanding the Australian ' Corps, ] vhch was closely associated with the j j Thirtieth Division in* the fighting; against the Hindenburg line, from . General Henry Rawlinson, command- , ing the Fourth Biritish army and Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig. In . :hese letters the commanding gen er- , ils express their admiration for the rresistible energy, courage and deter- . mination displayed by the men from , Dixie who saved the world from the Flun. In one of his letters Sir Doug [as Haig said: j "On the 29th of September you ( :ook part with distinction- in the rreat and critical attack which shat- ( :ered the enemy's resistance in the HLindenburg line and opened the road . to final victory. The deeds of the 27th and 30th American divisions who ] >n that day "took Bellicourt and Nan- - roy; and so gallantly sustained the , iesperate struggle for Bony, will rank 1 with the achievements of this war. , rhey will always be remembered by , iho British regiments that fought be- j side you. : "Since that date, through three:" weeks of almost continuous fighting, i , you advanced from one success to j ] mother, overcoming all resistance. , [gating off numerous counter attacks and capturing several thousand prls Dfters and many guns. The names of , Brancourt. Fremont, Busigny, Vaux (Vslgny. St. Soupfet and Maying Hein 11 testify to the dash and energy of your j nttacks." ? j. 1 ] Ousted by Republicans j Britt Given North Carolina Seat, j: in House of Rep resentatives. _ i: Washington, March 1.?Republicans;, of-the house found themselves in thej majority late tonight and'after a bit-1 ter debate, by a strict party vote of j. 182 to 173 unseated Representative I, Zebulon Weaver, "Democrat, of the j, Tenth North Carolina, in favor of j, James J.

London, Jan. 25 (Correspondence of The .Associated Press)?On the banks of the Thames, less than twen ty miles from London, there is an American town of the mushroom kind such as you .might find in a new California oil held. Its population consists of more than 200 white men and about 150 negroes. It covers 35 acres which nine months ago were fallow grass land. . The business., of the town is to^receive, sort and store (war material. It is the. great Ameri can supply depot in England^ There is a street of wooden huts, another of corrugated iron'huts, huge^ iron store sheds a*quarter of a mile long, office buildings, water supply and electric lights, * the Whole sur rounded by a hedge, a ? few armed sentries and much mud. All day long the khaki-clad negroes push and haul railway trucks full of war ma terial. Englishmen peer over the hedge} and ask satirically if the United States j doesn't know that the war is over. If they ask an officer for enlighten ment about this strange camp, his ex planation is something like this: "America came into the war with both feet, banking on at least three years of it, which was the safe thing to do. Our government made con tracts with British manufacturers to supply our army ' with tons of war material, from a tin tack to a steam roller. The British factories built new plants and took on new hands to meet our needs, and deliveries werej going smoothly when the' armistice was signed. ... "If we had scrapped our contracts then, some British firms might have been driven into bankruptcy, put ting thousands of men out of work and leaving the. factories with tons of useless material on their hands. So the United States government mere ly cancelled orders for material that had not been actually started on, and j told the factories to go ahead with what they had in hand. , , "This place is the collecting station for that material. We are receiving] tractors for guns, entrenching tools, thousands of yards of camouflage wire netting, stacks of asbestos,'roof ing for hospitals, timber frames for huts, wheelbarrows, shovels, pick axes, bolts, screws and a lot of other j stuff. We are going to store it all here and sell it later on. It will all be useful, and we can wait for the market. The -manufacturer couldn't have .waited." War material* coming back from] Russia ?s being stored at this camp, also the fittings., of dismantled hos pitals which the American army es tablished in England. Unscathed by War Athens Practically Undamaged During the War. Athens. Dec. 9 (Correspondence of the Associated Press)?Few large cities of the country that were en- j t gaged in the war have been ?ess af fected by it than the ancient capital of Greece. Free entirely from the men. ace of air raids and hostile bombard ment, and participating actively in the war for comparatively only a *hort time, Athens is today in all es sential features exactly as it was in pre-war days. There is.scarcely any outward sign that the country ever was in the great ivorld conflict. During the entire pro gress of the war, all the stores, the atres, cafes, museums and places of imusement in the Greek metropolis were doing business as usual and the Inhabitants felt only remotely the ef fects of the war. Prices of food and clothing were much higher than in peace times but the people suffered From no such scarcity of these and Dther necessaries of life as did the populations of London, Paris and oth 5T continental' cities. The tourist, who at one time was 3ne of the most abundant sources of revenue, however, disappeared entire ly during the war. The passing' years appear on the whole to have made. little change in the Athenian capital. If the visitor vrho knew Athens well in days longj* iko could pay another pilgrimage to the historic city, he would see still the iame quaint sights that have always made Athens appear to the foreigner rustic and unsophisticated, in the midst of all its cosmopolitanism. He would see a number of milch goats roaming down one of the main streets, picking up orange peel and paper bags in the gutter, while their own br drew the sweet warm milk from them to fill the bottles and pitchers ii>f the busy Greek housewives who ?merffed from their homes in response to the tinkle of the.goat's bells and hawking cry of the fustanella-clad herdsman. He would see also the countless little Greek gamins, dirty xnd ragged, that are so much a part of the life of the capital and who shine shoes and sell lottery tickets. Another familiar sight would be the old women, thin, tanned, and bent with ? ?ars. with black handkerchiefs tied under their chins, and carrying on their backs dilapidated hampers of wild herbs and salad leaves, which they dispose of to the abstemious Greek householders of the neijrh- j <? horhood for about 25 lepta (5 cents) ' a quart. Greek funeral processions, in which the body of the deceased is r-arried in an open hearse, fully ex posed and without coftin or covering. we familiar sierh's. Other cities change with times, but Athens seems as immutable today as it was in the centuries that have j ] sone. Three wars within a decade j have altered only slightly the life, j characteristics and institutions of thej ancient city of Hellas. Election at Omsk Omsk. Sunday.
