Raleigh News and Observer. Mrs. Hal Worth and children, and Mr. and Mrs. Emmett Crow and , children, of Texas, who have been Visiting Mrs. wortn, ien yesteraay ior a visit, xo relatives in Wilmington.' i Regular work of the women's motor corps of Wilmington was commenced this week, following completion of the organization at a business meeting held Wednesday. Military regulations will be observed' and the members are anticipating an interesting season of training. The Christian Endeavor society of St. Andrew's Presbyterian church will entertain this evening in compliment to all the soldiers and sailors in the city, from 8 to 10:30 o'clock, in Me morial hall, Fourth and Campbell streets. Every man in uniform is cor dially invited to attend. , "JACKIES" ENTERTAINED AT OYSTER ROAST BY W. C. C. S. The sailors stationed in Wilmington enjoyed yesterday afternoon an auto mobile ride and oyster roast at Whis key Creek on Masonboro Sound. Capt. E. A. Metts, who is in charge of en tertainments for the war camp com munity service, and J. Houghton James made arrangements for the trip in honor of the lifting of the quaran tine which the sailors have been "en Joying" for some weeks. And here again the members of the girls motor squad of the Red Cross proved their loyalty and patriotism by generously volunteering their cars and services for the occasion. Not only did they furnish transportation but they acted for the war camp community service .as hostesses for the "Jackies" and helped make the occasion lively and enjoyable. About 40 men in uniform assembled at Front and Market streets at the ap pointed time, 3:30 yesterday afternoon, and piled into the touring cars wait ing for them, each car with a crew of one motor squad driver and one extra girl who acted as hostess for the car. At the appointed time the cars moved off, going up Market street with the machine containing Lieutenant and Mrs. Geo. P. Elliott, chaperones, lead ing the procession. Following these were cars with Lieutenant and Mrs. Wolfe and Mr. and Mrs. J. Houghton James, also acting as chaperones, and other cars filled with uniformed men enjoying the outing. t Upon arriving, after some brief Jol lification, games, etc, the feast began. BAKEkS COCOA is a delicious and whole some drink of great food value and absolute purity. . Chocolate and cocoa add flavor and energy giving material to a diet and their use will help in many ways in. the preparation of palat able, nourishing dishes from those foods of which there is an abundance.' Booklet of Choice Recipe , Seat Free. WALTER BAKER & CO. Limited DORCHESTER - MASS. , , Established 178Q . All that could be heard for., about an hour was the chatter of voices, the click of oyster shells and the pop of soda water bottles, while Mr. , Lums den and his helpers served the hungry crowd. An early start homeward was made because of the chilly air and the desire to forego any undue exposure of the men who have been confined. Judging from the amount of oysters consumed and the expressions of ap preciation from the officers and men the affair was greatly enjoyed and a success in every way. Undoubtedly the breath of country air and break of routine will put the men in trim for their tasks of the coming week and make them better able to resume their training. It is remembered that a soldier's or a sailor's life is hard at the best and war camp community ser vice is the agency which helps the community to make that life as easy as possible. -The men in uniform greatly appreciate the splendid hospi tality of ,the people of Wilmington as they are idaily expressing it in many ways.

BICKETT SPEAKS TO WILMINGTONIANS Addresses Attentive Audience atY. M. C.A. "Explains the Work of the Y. W. . A. .Abroad and Relates Personal Ex periences in Prance Im promtu Speaking;. Closing with a powerful appeal that went straight to the' heart of every person in the audience, Mrs. Thomas Walter Bickett, wife of the governor of North Carolina, who has- recently returned from an extensive tour of war-tricken France and Belgium, last night addressed a small but enthusias tic audience in the parlor of the Y. M. C. A. building. The address. was un expected by both the audience and Mrs. Bickett, but it was noless enjoyed. . About 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon a telgram was received from Mrs. Bic kett stating she was enroute to Wil mington for a visit in the interest of the seven oragnizations that have allied their efforts to raise $170,500,000 dur ing the week of November 11 to 18 for war relief 'work, and especially in the interest of the Y. W C. A. However, she did not expect to make an address last night, but the telegram did not state how long she would remain here, and fearing that she would have only one night, it was decided td arrange for the address last night, the short notice being alone responsible for the small attendance. " The meeting which was held at 8:30 o'clock, was presided over by Mrs. M. L. Stover, chairman of the ladies di vision of the united war work fund campaign for .the 15th division, who introduced Mrs. Brickett. Mrs. Bickett spoke principally of the work of the Y. W. C A., relating from first hand information, incidents that have transpired in France. She stated in the beginning that she was not go ing to attempt to tell of the work "over here" for everyone knows about that, but would confine her remarks to the work of this wonderful organization "over there." The facts set forth by Mrs. Bickett were very interesting in .themselves, and -so well were they pre sented that the undivided attention of the audience was held throughout. She told of the French wellfare work at the munitions plants where thous ands of young women are employed, be ing taken over by the Y. W. C. A. at the request of the' French'government; an appeal of a prominent French wo man for the aid of the Y. W. C. A. In providing diversion for the French girls and for .safeguarding them while they are aiding the men at the front by supplying ammunition; and of the entertainment of the children. Especially interesting was her refer ence to the real joy the women get out of their work of making life more endurable for tbe women of the war stricken sections of France and of Bel gium. They all seem to be perfectly happy in performing duties intended to make others happy. . She told of one woman who had lost her husband and sons, calling at "Y" headquarters. She was despondent and felt there was nothing- left to live for, but after see ing the work being done by workers of this organization she decided that there was is still something to live for and joined the forces engaged in the work of love. As an example of how those who enjoy the hospitality of the "Y" feel towards it, Mrs. Bickett told of "hut house" near an evacuation hospital where nurses would gather for, a iittle diversion and recreation after a hard day's work. One day she said he heard a nurse remark as she entered the building that after spending the day i nthe hospital wTiere sh,e could see nothing but suffering and white walls and hear nothing but groans from wounded soldiers it was like heaven to get inside the building for a few minutes. But there is another phase to the work of the Y. W. a A. and this, is in caring for soldiers, whom they all love and honor, and making their lot In life as pleasant as possible. A "Y" worker, she said, would not hesitate to approach a soldier on the street of a city, in vite him to dine with her or help him select a present to send home to his mothers sister or sweetheart, and she told of a personal experience in help ing a soldier select a present for his sister. What impressed Mrs. Bickett very forcibly while in France was the most excellect morale of the American sol-; diers. It mattered not what . was t;he nature of the injuries of a "Sammy" in a hospital, if he were asked how he felt the response was always "'"fine," and they would ask that the people back home be told the boys xwere in fine condition. There were men who had lost one or more limbs and others with possibly, still more serious In juries oh every hand, but there was never a murmur or complaint by any of them, Mrs. Bickett stated. There has never been an army that fought harder or more skillfully and cheerfully than the soldiers from the Old North State, Mrs. Bickett was told by num berless officers. Mrs. Bickett closed her address with an appeal for the undivided support of the Y. W. C. A. as well as the other organizations doing similar work. While I nthe city Mrs. Bickett is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Covington, 312 South Third street. NEWS OF THE SOLDIERS.

Ferguson and grown by Arthur Allen, progressive young farmer of Bladenboro. "Can any of your new Hanover far mers beat this for size," Mr. Ferguson wants to know. His letter continues: "The Carolina Canning Company of this place is canning thousands Upon thousands of- cans of potatoes. Mr. Dowlas sold the canning company 600 bushels of potatoes at about $1 the bushel from a small piece of land. He says he could sell 40(-bushels more and still have for, home use all he would need. That, I think, will beat tobacco or cotton for clear' profit. Be sides, it is putting needed food pro ducts on the market." The potato mailed to The Star sure is a whopper.
