They Raise 9Em That
Clever, Out West.
By Franx J. Taylor
United Prcn Start Correspondent,
With The American Army In
Frunce, June 18. (By Mail.)—He
was a lad who had grown up in
the woobs ot some western state
and he knew everything ahout
bunting and trapping. His
ability to crawl around in the
grass without I icing seen was
uncanny.
Early in the game he started
crawling through the barbed
wire into No Man's Lan 1. and
pretty soon he had visited all
the outposts of the "Heinies"
near, lying hidden near them un-
til he got readv to come back.
One day he reported to the
lieutenant in charge of his ,".P.
C "
"Gimme a man who can crawl
around with me, and we'll take
that nest of Heinies out there
single handed," he said.
They told him he was crazy,
and anyway they didn't have
another man who could crawl
around the way he cunld.
He was disappointed. Finally
he said, "Well, gimme a chap
who can understand that Heinie
chatter, and we'll go out and
listen to them. Wecan get all
the information you want."
During April, 1917, potatoes
were selling at 5 and 6 cents a
pound. Today they are li/a and
2 cents a pound. One potato will
replace a slice of bread for the
Allies.—Peden.
The Kaiser has issued a medal
commemorating the day that po-
tatoes were brought from Amer-
ica to Germany. In Texas today
2,000,000 pounds of A-l potatoes
are rotting, while Belgians
starve.—Peden.

Administrator Peden, Federal Food
Administrator for Texas, arrived June
9 from a two weeks' visit to Washing*
¡ton, where he attended a conference
¡of State Administrators and later con-
ferred with the different departments
of the National Food headquarters.
Monday night, June 10, he left for
Fort Worth, Texas, to attend a special
meeting of the Texas Cattle Raisers'
Association, called by its president,

which so many cattle were shipped to

As a result of the Washington con-
ference the nation was divided into
zones, and the tone in which Texas is
placed consists ot Louisiana, Missis-
sippi, Arkansas, Tennessee and Okla-
homa. This zone is called the South-
western Zone, while its sister zone is
the Southeastern Zone, consisting of
Georgia, Alabama, Florida and the
Carolinas. The problems of the two
zones are identical In many ways. On
Tuesday, June 11, the Southeastern
Zpne administrators met in Atlanta,
While oh Jqne 15 the Southwestern
Zone administrators metHn Vicksburg.
Administrator Peden was represented
at the Vicksburg meeting by E. L. Be-
ville, dlrectpr of the grocery division,
and H. Wirt Steele, director of organ-
ization. The principal topic at the two
meetings was the Question of flour al-

The Salvation Army is There
By Guy F. Lee, in Chicago Tribune
Wo used to look on with a tolerant air
As they marched up the street with their band;
The tambourine, drum and the slinky cornet
Brought smLes mure tnan pannios to haad.
But they fed the poor bum ami the child from the slum,
And took light to the darkest vice lair,
And wherever discouraged ones needed a lift
Tho Salvation Army was there,
Over there where Hell's playing its dirse they have built
Huts close to tho trenches and lire,
And they're passing out oheer, for a dime or a gria,
To men clothed in mis'ry and mire.
Handing coffee and pie, and renewed hope and vim
To Liberty's sons as they dare
Their lives for our cause—most unselfishly brave
The Salvation Army is there.
These soldiers whose weapons are java and cakes
And whose Iocs ard discomfort and blight,
Have won the undying affcction of all
Their khaki clad brothers in Right,
They never consider themse'ves, and they live
The spirit of care, share and spare.
So I'm proud to remark that in pean© or in war
The Salvation Army is TliQftij!
Help the S. Á. Help Our Boys
The Red Cross with its army of physicians and nurses,
its supply stations filling constantly with needed articles as
the millions of workers send in their products from sur-
rounding comunities, and then there are the triunal group
of war councillors with their club houses, their food stations,
their home comforts, entertainment features and their cul-
tural and religious influences which are officially endorsed
and encouraged, such as the Y. M. C. A., the K. of C. and
the Salvation Army.
The first two have put through a victorious drive for
funds to carry on their work, which my this time is so well
known and appreciated throughout the country, and it is
now the privilege of the Salvation Army to make its work
known and its needs, that both may be satisfied.
The Salvation Army was a pioneer in the "hut move-
ment," which less pretentious than some other established
agencies for the comfort and cheer cf the boys, is just the
more necessary, for often it can be carried on right on the
firing line and much of the assistance given is mpre vital
there than at any other point. It is the duty of the Salva-
tion Army to get at the men no matter at what cost, and
give them just what they need at the critical time.
The main point to be emphasized is that this work does'
not overlap any other agency, that from the experience of
the Salvation Army workers they can often do things of a
certain character and do them more efficiently than any
other body ef workers, and tho United States government
has recognized the essential and unique services which those
workers can render and commends their support and en-
couragement to the people of this Nation.
In this community the Salvation Army holds its own
valued place, which each year hr.s been growing more stable
and more necessary to the town's development; it has dem-
onstrated that it did not overlap any other agency, that It
eould do things thnt ntedod doing for thi« town, that 'no
other agencj co^ld, and it ha* warmed its way into our
hearts through its all around friendliness to the underdog.
We are nu\y cailsd upon to e'xpnrj that recognition and
that support, to take in the wrr activities which "the organi-
zation is conducting successfully, and from the nature of
our response to all that concerní the Rafe conduct of this
war, we will not be chary of our financial aupnort of this
part of it, which concerns *<> intimately and vitally the safe-
ty and comfort of our soldier boya.
