Here With , American Battery Which Fired First Gun in - France - Omaha World-Herald, Oct.. 10th. When Pershing's heavy artil lery boomed out its first shell in to the German defenses "some where in France," an Omaha , boy, Earle Sutphen, 2608 Dodge street, was a member of the bat tery that fired the innitial shot. "We felt that it was some honor, to his Omaha friends. "My ears are getting as used to theP roar of war as they used to Krt 4-n Vi !! b- nf twnown'ter in the office." ' Although Sutphen's lettV contains only " the bare state ment that battery known in the Mexican . campaign as 'Pershing's own" hajd been un - der fire, his reference to theonT stant sound of firing 'indicates that the American troops," if not actually, in action now, are at iea; very close to the front. "I saw General Pershing the other dav. He's a fine, square all-round man, just the right type of leader .for our forces in France, continued Sutphen. "We are having a great time talking with the French soldiers, wnen our limited vocabulary of French runs out, we have to, resort to gestures. 'The other day one of the French fighters wanted to know what the pipe one of our boys was amokinir was made of. We had to go and get a kernel of com to mane mm unuugtauu it was a Dlain old cob.' ?We went into a Frenchshop nA wanted some " soaD. The DroDrietor couldn't understand.

Listen, while I speak to you Of a clue that's known to few. Give contentment choicest place In your home or working space; " Let your face .fust smile with grace. So that friends, in passing by. Gladly pause as they come nigh. Learning why you soar so high. If your lot seems hard and sore, . vVork'some harder than hefore; Smile some more and help implore From the God ot Earth and Sky, Who is ever standing nigh Hears each cry or weary sigh. Train"with friends in your own class; And don't seek to far surpass. Or alas! you'll prove an ass. Be contented with your lot. In a mansion or a cot; For they're not your final spot. Be contented with your wage; Do not fret, and fume and rage; Be a sage in this mad age. Thank the Lord that you re alive. And can eat, and sleep, and thrive; And then strive to yet arrive. It you can t help Uncle Dam, t Eat a less amount of ham; . Just he calm and don't flim-flam.

TO WHEAT GROWERS To the wheat growers of the county I would say that the sea son for sowing wheat to the best advantage is rapidly passing. Most of the wheat growing sec tion of the county is above 2000 feet elevation. At this eleva tion all tests show that wheat should be sown before the mid dle of October. However with wheat at $2.00 and with our good land there is still opportu nity to make money with wheat this year. Our system of rota tion make late sowing necessaj ry and every farmer who follows ' corn with wheat should resolve to change that next year. But no effort should be spared to put in wheat wherever there is the least opportunity ti make it pay this year. North Caroli na is expected to increase her yields by 5,000,000 bushels this year; if she fails to do it some people may go without bread. Sowing late is not the best but if it is necessary, sow it late and give the crop good preoaration and sow good seed. Don't break the land if you can prepare with disk harrow. Late breaking is responsible for many wheat failures. It is possible this sea son to prepare nearly all land by repeatedly going over .with the disk and this should be done. Seed wheat should be screened before sowing. Don't risk poor crops by reason of the folly of sowing poor seed. Then treat all seed with a solution of form liin or fomaldehyde. Don't use bluestone: much seed is injured every year by its use. The form alin is cheaper and better. Fifty cer(ts worth bought atvdrug store should be sufficient to treat 25 or 50 bushels of grain. Get guaranteed 40 per cent formalin and dilute to the proportion of one pint of the gas to 30 gallons of water. Spread the wheat out ani thoroughly sprinkl with the solution. Heap the grain up and cover over night with sacks. If the bluestone treatment is used care should be taken not to use more than 1 pound to 4 gallons of water and not to soak the grain in this bbt a few min utes. A weaker solution could be used and the grain soaked longer, but this method is more 'Uhle to injure than the first. Neitser method is safe and since 'he formalin fs cheaper it should i" useciin'sil instances. X. JX. m'FCRGUSONf-Co.'Aft'. FIRST SACRIFICE Walter Ray the First to Die in Service of Uncle Sam at Camp Sevier Buried Here Sunday. ' Robert .Walter Ray, son of. Hon. and Mrs. C. H. Kay of this place djed early Friday morning at Camp Sevier, Greenville, . C, after an abscess had been removed from his brain several days before. Walter was a mem ber of Co. C, 105th regiment of engineJrfs and was a splendid specimen of manhood and popu lar both here at home and in camp. He was 28 years old last January the 2nd day. At first his case was diagnosed as in.-; fantile paralysis, but later : was found that he had an abscess on the brain causing paralysis. . His father and mother and sis ter remained in Greenville most of the three weeks of his illness Mrs. Ray staying until the end came.,-' The body reached here Sat urday afternoon, accompanied by members of the family and a soldier's escort of six young men, who acted as pall bearers. These were Fred Martin, David Milieu, Gilbert Rfeves, Hugh Abel, Will Coble and Claude Mc- Clure. A large number of friends gathered at the Ray home on love Lane Sunday afternoon at 3 p. m. where a simple service was held by Rev. A. V. Joyner and Bishop James Atkins. We have never seen so many beau tiful flowers as were sent on this occasion. The 105th Engineers Company contributed a hand some piece and there were many other special designs. A large procession in autos and on foot followed to Green Hill where the last tribute was paid to Wal ter who so gallantly volunteered from Haywood and who was first to lose his life m his coun try's service. " The family have the real sym pathy of the entire community. Mrs. D. M. Wells and Miss Edith Waldrop of Hendersonville and Mr. W. B. Goodwin of Greenville were here to attend the funeral. GRADES CONDUCT CHAPEL. Superintendent Robeson has" arranged for the conducting of chapel exercises each Tuesday morning by the high school grades. Tuesday morning this week the program was given by the eleventh grade under tlvs leadership of Joscelyn McDowell. It was moral in tone as well as literary and musical, being as i'ollows: Song by school. Scripture reading by Elizabeth Grahl. Lord's prayer by school. Quar tet sacred song by Virginia Matney, Nora Turbyfill, James Ferguson and William Hannah. Recitation by Sara Thomas. So lo by Jacque McCracken with accompaniment by - Elizabeth Reeves. Original recitation by Lillia' Oreen. Closing eong by by school. The reading by Miss Thomas ana tne sigmg 01 xne quartet were especially commendable numbers. These chapel exercis es are participated in each morn ing by the pupils of all grades. Each grade has an allotted sec tion of the auditorium and the arrival and departure are v.ry orderly and systematic. Parents should visit the school By so doing, you demonstrate your active interest to the in structors as well as get infor mation at first hand concerning the running of the school. Your children will be stimulated to effort as well as they want to make a good showing in parent al presence. The teachers also appreciate having parents visrk and see actual class room work. Monday morning the superin tendent asked for subscriptions from pupils and teachers for Liberty Bonds. Any amount ia acceptable. It is hoped to raise at least $100. Bonds will be bought in the name of the school an& will become the prop erty of the schooL The idea is x. a splendid one. Every pupil now has the privilege to. contribute : to a loan, to the government and ! do their part to help win ' tU'wi. -'- -; " '
