importance in Douaj nowadays.
The first newly hatched chicken in
the devastated town of Douai, "TDepart

low head through the hole in its shell
a few days ago, to the breathless in
teres; of crowds of childjen and grown
f )iks.
It was not pnliy the first chicken
hatched in Douai since the war, but .
the frst one ever hatched there in an j
American incutyator. They are still 1
talking about it excitedly at the cor
ner cafe. The glass fronts of the two
incubators, the gift of the American j
Red -Cross to the town, have been be-

arrived. .
There are now 25 eggs1n each in

A trip of over 15 miles on top of a
dry goods box over, the rapid current
of the Pamlico river, was the excit
ing experience of Harley Griffin, age
9 years, son of a well-known farmer
near Greenville. The bop was rescu
ed about 8 miles above Washington

en home last night. His parents had
believed that he had been drowned
and were almost frantic with grief "for
several hours.
.Harley was playing nearMhe river
and was throwing sticks into .the
stream to see hom rapidly they would
flopt away. Suddenly he was seized
with abright inspiration. He went
back to the stables, found a large dry
goods box. took it to the river and plac
ed it in the water. He got inside the
box. intending to paddle aound near

and threw the youngster out. How
ever." he managed to retain his hold
and draff cd himself across the bot
tom of the box. In this condition he
was carried down the river at the rate,
of about six inilgs an hour. His calls
for help were unheard until he passed
a small farm owned'by a negro. The
latter saw the boy's predicament,
sprang into a row-boat and rescued the
boy. He was unhurt but admitted that
