WAYNE TOWNSHIP FARM EXHIBITS

GIVEN PRAIS Awards Made By E. F. Murphy, Who Judged The Entries. Groups of school children from the towns hip were taken round the Wayne township agricultural exhibits at the court house Tuesday by Township Agent Beck and the merits of the various departments explained Each talk "as on "quality products, the b?st methods of selection, and how to grow pedigreed seed. E, F. Murphy, the city gardener who judged the exhibits laid stress on their quality. L. S. Bowman, for 30 years secretary of the Hagerstown fair, alto unqualifiedly praised the exhibits. Beck said Tuesday it had been planned to make the exhibit an annual affair. The teachers of the township -will meet before the show is over and plan for next year's program. The work of district 10. which won a silver cup. was especially praised. District 5 was second, and district 3, third. A feature of the show was the seed selection, the corn scoring exceptionally high. Wheat and oats also made a fine evidence of careful selection. The vegetables were abnormal In most instances, and the jurding was confined to quality rather than size. The fruit showed however that few farmers cultivated a profitable side line well. What fruit was shown was pronounced excellent. The ladies and children's exhibits were pronounced above the average. The awards follow: Division B. Class 1.

When "water freezes it expands somewhat. Ice Is. therefore, lighter thsn water, and that is why it floats. The submerged portion of a regularly formed iceberg in proportion to the visible portion is as 3.7 to 1 that is, almost nine-tenths of the iceberg is under water, and one-tenth above wster. A Reasonable Hope.. TLere is no period of life at which we ought to say that there are no more glad surprises for us In the future, life is hard enough, but not so hard as some would make it, and Its rewards cone to those who have worked for them more often than many would have us believe. W. Robertson Mcoll. Attempts at removing the green tops of potatoes on the assumption that they detract from tuber development have proved it a poor plan, and in the majority of cases where records were kept the topped potatoes roduced the poorest tuber crop weight, though in some Instances the potatoes were larger.

Boy, War Prisoner For Three Years, Returns

MACON. Mo.. Nov. 13,. There arrived In Bevier, Macon county, a few days ago. a thirteen-year-old French lad, Lucian Busier by name, who was nearly choked to death at the depot by the warm arms of a small man and woman, his parents. For three years this boy. who had been Separated from them during the German advance across the French frontier, had be6n given up as dead. It was from near Lens, that city 60 long the target for shot and shell, overlooking . the graves of thousands of soldier dead, that he came. "He had seen it all, this lad ot ten the tramp of the men in gray, who swarmed like locusts into his country; holding their chins high, their eyes smiling mockingly at the uplifted hands of the poor French peasants along the way. and their helmeis flashing blood red from the buildings they had burned. He saw his father and his mother and the little brood that he called brothers and sisters swept from him in that awful tide of invaeion rolling over the fair lands of France like an angry ocean. He saw the people who had been the friends of his father and mother, good quiet folk, who never harmed a soul in the world, and whose thoughts were only of those qulel countryside affairs the same as with the people of our owu villages, kicked and shoved about as though they were dog or swine, unfit to lift their eyes to those whose place was in the sun. Only ten years old he was, and yet he paw things beyond the experience ol most men who had lived tnelr three score and ten. Boches Divide the Family The German tide cut the family in half. Lucian and his grandparents were left at Lens, the great French coal town inside the enemy's lines. The father and mother and little ctrH-1 dren were swept into France, and until the American embassy got Information of Lucian recently he did not know, whether his folks were dead or alive. Lucian said that his grandfather, a man of seventy, and very feeble, was forced to work in the mines from 4 o'clock in the morning until 3 In the afternoon, and that many other old men were treated In the same way. Every member of a French household was under orders not to leave the yard after 4 o'clock in the afternoon on penalty of death. The order was carried out with merciless precision, the boy said. Lucian and other small boys he was then ten attended school in the basement of an old building, and were taught by volunteer instructors.

Mix thoroughly; make into balls the size of walnuts, drop in boiling water or soup stock of any kind and cook forty minutes. A can of tomato soup diluted and a green pepper added makes a tasty meal.

One day a German soldier seized the horse and wagon, and when the lad protested the soldier knocked him down with a blow of his fist. Declares American Citizenship Once a week Lucian and his mates were ordered to appear before the German commander. The stronger boys were selected to dig trenches behind the firing lines. Lucian told the commander that he was "an American citisen," and this had the effect of letting him out of trench digging. As the French and English drew closer the supply of food got scarcer. Finally orders came to remove the

French Inhabitants to the rear, across the line to Belgium. Then Lucian,

being an American, was permitted to go back to France, where the American embassy took charge of him and provided him with a safe conduct to America, but his aged grandparents are still held by the Germans as prisoners of war. When he arrived in New York some ladies who were Interested in the boy drove him about town in an automo bile. Lucian was glad to have this chance to see the great city of Amer ica, but more than anything else was he interested in getting back to the little mining town in Macon county. where his parents and brothers and 6isters were. If anybody has any doubt about the justness of the war in which the United States is engaged this little flaxen-haired lad can give such reasons a3 would remove the last scruple. The story from his youthful lips is like an attestation In court in simple, boyish language he tells a tale that one instinctively recognizes as the truth.
