v3 eXCEC "THE YANKS ARE COMING." "Going back to the states?" Sally echoed. Then as tjje tremendous meaning of It dawned on her. "Back to the states? What for?" "To rest. You're both played out. You've done your share, and over. You're no good here in the condition you are. Besides there's work for you two In the states. You're to take charge of base hospital work there. Now, don't waste time." His manner was friendly but unmistakably authoritative. "But but It's Impossible!" Sally gasped. "There's such work here so much of It. I can't I won't leave It!" "You've no choice, nurse!" the doctor said, a dry smile flicking across his face. "Theso are orders." "Whose?" she asked. "Mine! I'm Dr. Gregory." The chief of the entire division! Sally wavered before his glance, then turned and left to obey. She was a Boldler. Sally packed her things and went out to say farewells to her children. As Bhe walked through the wavds her sense of desolation grew. Not a face of those she had known was there. In the great flux that was taklnsr place they had gone to base hospitals, to points of recuperation, some to their last resting place over on the hill. Dazed as she was all the time now, a poignant loneliness seized her Even most of the staff were new to her. But Gervais, her orderly, appeared like the first familiar object after a bad dream. "You leave us, Mamzelle?" he asked, shaking his head. When death itself was so commonplace, parting rould not reach he depths. Yet both ' felt a stir In their hearts and a great sadness. "My friend, I shall never forget you," she said, pressing his hand with all her strength. "You have been faithful." He bent over her hand, kissing It gently. "Le bon dleu vous garde," he said In a whisper. Then, taking out a package from his bosom, "Your chil dren, many of them, have left these little foolishnesses for you letters, pictures, whatnot!" "I shall open it on the steamer," she said simply. "Goodbye, old friend!" Sally found Dr. Will at the railroad station, himself looking unspeakably worn. There was an uncomprehending look on his face at the turn affairs had taken. Ho was like a galley slave who had been released before he was aware of It, a life prisoner suddenly freed. There was no relief in his look, nor understanding. "We're ordered back to the states, Sally!" he said wonderingly "You and I. How can they? What will they do, short-handed as they are?" As though In answer a train pulled In. From it issued a hurrying crowd of fre6h-faced nurses and doctors. Freipht cars discharged great loads of precious supplies. Dr. Will and Sally looked at the sight as though they were witnesses to a fairy tale. There were simple but deeply touching partings. In the pressure of colossal needs the individual must have but his limited ration. Soon they had passed from the zone of -their beloved toil, Involuntarily exiles from war to peace. Their train was stopped at a station several hours later because of some movement of troops. Neither Dr. Will nor Sally, as they sat side by side in the car, paid much heed. They were 4 past all interest in anything less fundamental than bodily discomfort. Then Sally's ears caught a strange yet vaguely familiar sound She Heart

MR. ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson I am a trained nurse and on account of poor health I have not been able to go to France and have had to content myself with work hero in the hospital. Eight years ago when I started nursing I had a young man for a patient who fell in love with me, or pretended to. When he was sick he talked about marrying mo when he was well again, and with such promises he made me kiss him often. After he did not need my services any longer he came 'to see me just three times and then I got a letter from him saying that he had gone to another town to work and promised to send his address as soon as he had a permanent one. I never heard from him and I was too proud to ask his ; parents for it. They did not seem to i like mo and I knew they would not have wished to have me marry him because I was a working girl. It took me several years to get over my love or this boy and until this day I have never loved another man. Several weeks ago a young girl who was one of my patients invited mo to go to a nearby town with her to a dancing party. I still enjoy dancing. While there I met this man again. He told mo that he had married and divorced since I had seen him last and that he had never been able to forget me. The reason he did not write was because his mother made him promise he would give me up for her sake. He begged to see me again but I would -ot let him come. Recently I received a long letter from him begging to see ne again. He says he has never loved nyone else and asks me to forgive him for the mistake he made when 'o was a boy. What do you think I light to do? NURSE MOLLY. Let the man come. It may be that fter all these years you and he will Ind happiness together. He has been ninished for the wrong he did you " hen be dropped you so cruelly. His Mfe has not brought him happiness ince his mistake." Dear Mrs. Thompson Do you think x boy of eighteen years of ape could -rally bo in lovo with a girl of siv een? He seems to be really in earnest. He is in the service now and 'ias asked me to marry him after the var. I sometimes think that he also 'rites to other girls the same way. but 've known him for about two years id he always seemed to like me. GREENHORN.

listened. She doubted. Then suddenly she cried: "Will! Will! They've come! Look oh, look!" She pointed excitedly out of the window. Rolf looked. Across the path of their train rolled an endless procession of other coaches. Each car window was filled with fresh, sunburned faces, the faces of young giants clear-eyed, alive with rugged health; faces familiarly dear. It did not need the flags that snapped In the wind on the enginehead to tell who these young men were, nor the two letters painted on each car. If it had been darkest night they could have caught the message as it rolled in thundered chorus: "Over there! Over there! Send the word, send the word, Over There, That the Yanks are coming, the Yanks are coming, The drurrs tum-tumming everywhere! So prepare! Say a prayer! Send the word, send the word to prepare. We'll be over we're coming over! And we won't come back till It's over over there!" Pain Comes Back. What the sight of suffering could not do the sound of a brave cheer did for Sally. The newly arrived American boys, roaring their rousing war song, suddenly loosened the vise that bound her emotions. They had come! The boys from home, the boys that belonged to her by every bond of blood as well as the kinship of a mutual cause. Her lads perhaps some of the very lads she knew back home! They had come, the clean, splendid fellows, with a song on their lips and fearlessness In their fresh young hearts! So ready to give all for what they felt to be the right. And they, too, must pass into that red zone Sally knew ( so well and they so vaguely. Some of them must go where Stephen had gone, and Roper, with the war cross pinned upon their quiet breasts. Poignant grief shot through her. The remembrance of Stephen, of Roger, came back with cruel clearness. From a lethargy of strain and shock Sally passed into a very ecstasy of pain. She would have given much for the relief of tears. But they were close now to their destination. The train was entering a city. The stir of arrival was all about. With a supreme effort Sally draeged herself from the compartment following where Dr. Will led, hearing as from afar the sounds of transfer and embarkation. In the harbor great ships were discharging as though there were no end of the continuous streams of young men in khaki. From the mastheads of these ships floated the Stars and Stripes. The heart seemed one vast ache that engulfed her body and soul. Oh, to be able to give more help! Not to be sent off like this, because she had become useless! Oh, it was all so hard deciding, doing, living. At last she found herself, with Dr. Will beside her. on the deck of the homing ship. Her eyes were strained toward the transports not yet wrung dry of the human stream they carried. "Our boys, Sally," Dr. Will spoke simply. A shiver ran over her. Rolf reached for a steamer rug and laid it gently about her shoulders. But the shiver did not stop. Rolf knew it was the first flicker of that returning tide of strength wherewith realization and emotion would come. He winced. They might have been one sentiment being, they two, so surely did he feel himself whatever of distress was hers. (To be continued.) of you are too young to think of such a thing. Dear Mrs. Thompson I am a girl with a good education and am desirous of becoming a canteen worker "over there." Can you give me information as to how I may become one' RUTH. Inquire at Red Cross for information. There is very little possibility that you will be accepted, but it will not hurt to try. , PROMISES CLEAN ELECTIONS HAVANA, Wednesday, Aug. 14 In a special decres issued tonight.

WORK OF BURBANK WILL BE DESCRIBED AT THE CHAUTAUQUA

For more than two hundred years the virgin fields of America have fed the world with plenty as population slowly increased, but for more than, two decades the population has been increasing faster than the supply of food. There are no more continents to discover, no more fields untilled, and with the war cloud that has enshrouded the earth, starvation may not be far ahead and peace will not vanquish it. Dr. Henry A. Adrian's answer is complete and convincing and as vivid as eloquence can make it. The world he reveals is a new world and exploration with him a surprise and delight. Sn ereat. a stir did his lecture make out west that the legislature of Call-i fornia in regular session adjourned to hear him and spent a whole day dis-l cussing it. Dr. Adrian is a close personal friend of Luther Burbank, the Plant Wizard, and hos been associated with him In his work. He keeps in close touch with Br. Burbank and with the new development Mr. Burbank is constantly making. Mr. Burbank has constantly refused to go upon the platform and tell of his own work, but realizing the great interest manifested by the public, and the crisis in the world due to a shortage of food, reluctantly consented to have Dr. Adrian present his work from the platform. Dr. Adrian is well qualified for this task. He is first and foremost a scholar and educator. He is gifted as few men are, with the skill of narrative and power of eloquence. He tells the simple, yet thrilling story of the wonder worker of the plant world with an actor's skill and an orator's power. If Dr. Adrian were lecturing unon an ordinary subject he would ctill ho nnfl nf fhe most interesting lecturers on the platform. Not long gince one of the best kn0wn lyceum and Chautauqua bureau men said of him: "If a Chautauqua committee asked me to recommend the best humorous lecturer I know of, I would recommend Adrian. If they wanted th9 most interesting lecturer, I would tell them to get Adrian. If they wanted j the best scientific lecturer, the best sermon, the most popular lecture, I wouldn't tell them to get three different men I would tell them to get Adrian." His subject is of paramount importance at the present time "New Ways of Feeding the World," and his lecture becomes an event of unusual interest. Dr. Adrian will appear at the Chautauqua Monday afternoon, Aug. 26, also Tuesday evening, Aug. 27. When he appeared here a few years ago he was considered one of the best and most interesting of the entire assembly. All who heard him then will want to hear him again and with the new discoveries made by himself and Mr. Burbank his lectures will be of vital interest.

Woman's Section County Council of Defense

Our supply of nurses must be kept up. Our sick and wounded soldiers should always have the care of most thoroughly trained nurses. In order to meet this situation which is arising, the women of the country must prepare themselves for war service and community service of the highest type by enrolling in the Student Nu-se Reserve. Wayne county must send her quota. Women with good education, that is, high school or college, should feel it their duty to enlist in this service at the Red Cross headquarters. One of the unique features of Indiana's war activities is the organization of U. S. Food clubs by the Indiana Division of the U. S. Food Administration. Through these clubs the Food Administration will be able to emphasize more clearly the vital relationship between food and war. Every home in ' the state will be enrolled when the work is finished Noth ing less than a determination to ren-l der the greatest possible contribution to the nation's war needs would have prompted such a gigantic task. The Food Administration for Indiana, however, shares the true Hoosier belief in thoroughness and knows that Indiana will point with pride to the loyalty with which her ciilzens fought the great food battle. The work of organizing the U. S. Food clubs began last spring and so far has resulted in the formation of about fifteen hundred clubs. This means that the work is about-one-third done. The beginning of such a movement is naturally slow as it means the development of an entirely new idea. The Food clubs have secured a footing of some sort in all but) four counties. The way has been prepared. From now on the Food Administration expects more rapid progress in finishing up the actual work of organization. When the clubs are formed their usefulness will continue for some years after the war is over. Plans are under way for a great Food Club Drive to complete the or-; ganization of the clubs by the end of! September. It is advisable that this j work be done before the npyt T.ihprtvi GET ORDERS FOR NEW REGISTRATION Instructions have been received at i the Richmond conscription board for the new registration which will take place August 24. All the men who have become 21 between June 5 and August 24, in Boston, Franklin and Wayne tovnships will register at the conscription I board office on the third floor of the court house, Richmond, Indiana, on August 24 between 7 a. m. and 9 p. mfl. Those who are able to register in the morning are urged to do so in order to leave the late afternoon and evening for those for whom it is impossible to register during the day. All are urged to register as soon as possible. Court Records WIFE WANTS DIVORCE. Mary E. Staley has filed suit in the circuit court for divorce from Edward B.

Loan drive commences. The county and township presidents of U. S. Food clubs are endeavoring to complete the organization in their respective territories by the prescribed date. When the work is finished Indiana will have a gigantic machine which will guarantee the highest degree of co-operation between the Hoosier citizens and Uncle Sam in eafeguarding our food supplies for the sake of those who are endeavoring to stamp out forever the Prussian menace. Every resident of Indiana should be interested in the U. S. Food clubs and ready, to help. They can contribute to the success of this war movement by getting in touch with their country or township president and preparing the way for a new club. All information regarding the clubs and the names of the leaders in the various communities can be secured by writing to the Food Club Division, U. S. Food Administration for Indiana, Indianapolis.

People In Greece are paying $15 for a chicken and fifty cents for one egg, according to Peter Paros, father of Jim Paros, proprietor of the Chop House, who recently arrived from Greece. He is 75 years old and has never ben out of Greece before. The white bread he saw in a New York restaurant was a curiosity, he said. The people in Greece have not had any bread made from flour with wheat in it for more than three years. The flour is made of a combination of beans and peas ground together. They pay one dollar for a pound and onehalf of this bread. Prices are very high on food stuffs, and it is almost an impossibility to get meat. "This is the country to live in," said the Greek, "The prices here are nothing." The Greeks are in full accord with the allies, Mr. Paros said, and rejoice at the news of every allied gain. There are at the present time 700,000 Greeks in action. Mr. Paros has several nephews fighting with the Greek force in France. The trip from Greece to America required five months. He was delayed two months in Italy, a month in Orders Are Open for 1,000,000 War Helmets Plans and specifications for the 1,000,000 war helmets have arrived at the War Industries headquarters in the Masonic temple, where they may be inspected by bidders at any time. Several Richmond firms are expected to bid on this order. A telegram came Thursday stating that 1,500,000 copper rivets are wanted, but the Richmond board has been unable to locate a firm in this district which will take up the proposition.
