MINEOLA MATTRESS FACTORY
R. B. ELLIOTT, Mgr. 27-4c
By R. W. McREYNOLDS
But it's the Lieutenant's
story—not mine:
Between Mouzon and Inor,
the River Meuse forms a "W,"
within which several compan-
ies of the Third and Seventy-
seventh regiments were ad-
vancing. On the morning of
Nov. 11 they reached the road
—what was left of it—which
runs across the top of the "W".
At Moulins, another toad
branches off and, passing around
the crest of a nill, runs north-
ward to Vaux and Tetaigne.
A little after ten o'clock that
morning, a captain and and a
lieutenant were lying in a shal-
low ditch beside this branch
road. To the northeast could
be seen the enemy lines, a
thousand yards away. To the
right, the ruins of Moulins
bore witness to the pounding
of Allies' as well as German
guns. To their left, some two
miles distant, the village of
Mouzon seemed to crouch
against the river like a wound-
ed animal which seeks to lave
its wounds in cooling- waters.
All along the German lines
and .From the American bat-
teries opposite them, came the
thunder of heavy guns, the
crash of exploding shells and
the rattle of machine guns.
"We're too far ahead of the
line," the captain said, raising
his voice above the din.
"You picked a hell of a place
to wait for 'em," the lieutenant
shouted back.
As a matter of fact, there
had been some stiff resistance
around Mouzon and few com-
panies had, as yet, even cross-
ed the river. The Seventy-
seventh, of which this advanc-
ed section was a part, was
astride the river near the upper
left point of the "W".
"Keep your eyes peeled on
that road," shouted the cap-
tain, ignoring the lieutenant's
criticism. "Those guys oughta
be there before eleven," he add-
ed by way of explanation.
He focused his binoculars on
the German lines, raising him-

self a trifle so as to see across
the road on his right. A shell,
he saw, had landed beside that
chatter-box to the east of him.
High explosive. The box no
longer chattered.
These was another pill-box
to the left of tne side road--
firing in bursts. "Better get
wcrd to the battery," he thought.
He turned his head. "Orderly!"
he shouted, but he never gave
the order. A wasp-like singing
ended in a plop. The captain
slid wearily into the ditch.
As if his disappearance were
a signal, the gun-fire ceased.
There was a deathly silence
along the front. Then, men
were laughing—a forced sort
of laughter—and talking of
things which afterward seemad
foolish.
The captain said nothing, al-
though, at first, there seemed
to be ~a smile upon his lips.
The war was over.
The lieutenant wondered if
that were the cause of the smile.
He could never be certain for
—the captain was dead.

Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Carraway
and Mrs. C. E. Revelle visited
Mr. and Mrs. Fuller Steed in
Tyler Sunday afternoon.
With .46 inch of rain on Oct-
ober 17, and .27 inch October
22, Haskell Lake decided to j
plant vetch Monday. Mr. Lake J
showed up at the camp early
Monday morning to discuss
planting his vetch and to get
a grain drill to sow his seed
and fertilizer. Moisture is not
yet sufficient for planting win-
ter cover, soil building, and
strip crops. A seed bed had
been prepared by discing be-
fore these two light rains and
it was decided that the seed
would germinate and grow off
good on the next rain in Mr.
Lake's case.
Getting ready to sow oats
on strips, George Lake is disc-,
ing his land, turning under
vegetation to prepare a seed
bed for the first rain. The
Lake brothers say they believe
in being prepared.
The superintendent of the
Agricultural Experiment Station
near Swan, P. R. Johnson, said
that vetch was planted during
the last week in October on the
Station last year, and that he
has swon in November in the
past and obtained a good
growth of vetch.
This unfavorable weather is
alarming some, but most SCS
cooperators are going ahead, as
no one knows what the weather
will do.
"My bur clover strips have
been sown with manure on
beds," declared Bragg Morris,
negro cooperator on the Duck
Creek Soil and Water Conser-
vation project. He stated that
plowing up beds was tough,
but he was ready. Mr. Lem
"The use of the county trac-
tor equipment to build and
maintain terraces was to be
investigated by a committee
composed of J. D. Roach, chair-
man; I. J. Hall and G. S. Lake,
of the Duck Creek SCS associa-
tion. This committee was ap-
pointed on June 4, 1938. There
will be a need for this help in
the next few months. Wood
County commissioners permit
the use of their tractor equip-
ment for terracing.
On Oct. 8 the government
cotton report indicated an aver-
age yield on all farms of 221
pounds of lint cotton; 12,212,-
000 bales for this year. To com-
pete with all other cotton farm-
ers it reasons a man would
have to equal or better this in-
dicated yield. This fact argues
for soil holding and building
crops in this section to build
the soil, and for a farming
system that will build and not
impoverish this country — if
we are going to compete.
Hundreds of farmers in this
section have overlooked Vhe
Farm Security Administration
as a means for help. Observa-
tion and study indicate that
farmers here making the best
living have other sources of
income. Dairying, beef cactle,
poultry, berries, sweet potatoes,
and truck are all important
sources of farm income. It
takes money to begin these en-
terprises and this is one of the
purposes of the Farm Security
Administration.

CROOKES..
INVENTOR
OF PROTECTIVE GLASS
Many important discoveries
concerning light refraction
were made by Sir William
Crookes, one of the most pro-
lific inventors and scientists
of modern times. Sir William
devised and perfected types
of glass to provide lenses for
protection of eyes of workers
in various occupations from
the effects of heat and ultra-
violet rays.
Because of Crookes's work,
the optometrist of today is
able to afford your eye#
greater protection and to ex*
tend their usefulness.
