Clark was wound-! ed he has undergone two operations with the hope of restoring his arm to its former usefulness and when he returns to New York after h's fur lough he expects to be operated upon again. The surgeons are optimistic as to the -final outcome of these ope rations and Sergt. Clark, as always, looks on the bright side. He is looking just fine, is the pic ture of health and while wounded he still carries that same old-time cheer ful, look. His friends at home nc tickled to death fo see him and are more than proud of the record he made for his country on the battle fields of France. Segt. Claik was cited for bravery l7 his commanding officer on the day he was wounded. This citation follows: "Sergt. Ollie F. Clark, Co. G. For conspicuous bravery in action. Dur ing an advance near Hermeville No vember 11th, 1918, was advancing on a machine gun nest and was severely wounded in the arm. However, he kept on fighting and refused to go to the rear until ordered to do so by his lieutenant, instilling great courage in his section". THE JITNEY WOMEN Homeland. To J. O. B. Jim, the women are certainly ubi quitous. When there was only one woman in the Garden things were dif ferent, though I suppose Adam at times thought Eve was, as Penrod Schofield says, "a lot o women". But since then the earth has been lavish ly replenished mostly with women. Yes. the vWomen are having their in nings, but if it weren't for the wo men there wouldn't be anybody to have innings. The country would te as dry of babies as it is of rum. Yes, wo men are everywhere like flies. . And ! the7 know so much and so raanv dif ferent things ! We can't keep- them out of our airships; we can't keep them out of our polling-booths; and we can't keep them out of our hearts. Three of these ubiquitous women run jitneys to the Homeland and car ry people and trunks away for two bits per carry. These three women, like the wise and foolish virgins, are divided into two classes, though not exactly in the middle. Two of 'em are one kind and one of 'em is anoth er. Two of,' em are sour and one of URL01IGH i j did-his I.-- a -went i fe No- rmisticc fie left IN FRANCE Thousand Years Ago is Going to Be Great Play "A Thousand Years Ago", the na tions of the West were as wide awake as China was until very recently, af ter she jostled against the nations t the West.

(Ry Mail) It is whispered I hat Mrs. Wilson, the President's wife, will have some stunning spring and summer gowns when she reaches Amer ica. She has been making a number of trips to the shopping districts since returning to Paris, and she is also seeing the dressmakers. There is wild rivalry among the fashionable mod istes for her custom, since they can let it be known that the American pres ident's wife has been a patron. IS HOME AGAIN Sergt. J. D.

They will res'ide in the future in Greenville. 'em is sweet. Two of 'em look dag gers at yon, and one of 'em sort o ears you up with her kind eyes. Two of 'em have voices like saws and one of 'em has a voice like a brook, purl ing over its clean stones. Two of 'em look as if they slept in their dresses, and one of 'em seems to have nut hers on after she got up, and in front of a looking-glass. Whjy can't all women be nice and soft, and pleasant and tjdy? If they want to be in business, all right. Nobody is going to hinder. They are entitled to live their lives in their own way and be blessed for good work. But why can't they leave their vinegar-ciuet on the kitchen shelf, or wherever thev kep vinegar-cruets? What's the use of their beinT sour? Does tha et 'em anywhere? It does not. So as to the three jitneiv women, the rest of the Homeland population can ride with the two sour ones if they want to, but I'm going to ri witlithe sweet one.

He based his remarks in presenting his theme on will there" be a judgment dacj, when and where. Those present pronounced it the best yet delivered by this wonderful man of God.

It was worth their while for they listened to a gospel discourse they will long remember. Prof. J. M. Perry sang to the de light of his hearers "The Great Judg ment Morning". This singer has a wonderful baritone voice and it is a delight to hear him sing the gospel as he is doing in Greenville just now.
