Increases Sugar Yield
The addition of small quantities of
potassium Iodide to fertilizers has
been found by French scientists to in-
crease materially the yield of sug-ir
beets. Larger amounts decrease the
yield of sugar In the beets. It Is
thought that the Iodide has an Impor-
tant effect on the power of tbe plants
to utilize the energy of the sunlight
for the transformation of plant food
Into plant substance.
Sweet Be Their Rest
(Dedicated to Our Dead in Franre )
Disturb not, thou, their rest
On some ahell-tortured hill.
Within some battered trench.
Near some red oozing rill;
Disturb not. thou, their rest.
In slumber let them lie;
They taught a patriot's love.
Though loving meant to die.
It Is not alien soli,
The sod wherein they lie;
Their spirit ever lives.
Their glory cannot die;
Disturb not, thou, their rest.
Their deeds the world entranre
Their hallowed sepulchre
The Illy fields of France!

"We're Coming, Father
Abra'am, Three Hundred
Thousand Strong."
By GRACE RADFORD OLIN
MOTHER and I had taken care oi
Bill ever since his father died,
and him a little shaver two and
a half years old.
Anl then his sweet mother, heart-
broken at the death of her young hus-
band, closed her eyes forever.
And seeing an how Belle (the boy's
mother) was our only child, we, loo,
would have died of grief If It hadn't
been for Bill.
He hud the bluest eyes and the sun-
niest smile I ever see In a child. And
I guess we most spoiled hltu. Least-
ways, folks said we did.
But how was a body to help It? He'd
Just slip his arm around his grand-
mother's shoulders or give me a
"chummy" nudge with Ms elbow, and
if the cookie Jar hi"! been rol>be<! or
he'd sneaked off fishing 'stead of going
lo school—w ell, you couldn't sa> noth-
ing, that's all.
You see, way down Inside he was
loyal and true and generous, if we did
mollycoddle him.
Bill was most twenty when the war
broke out, and somehow the laugh
seemed to die out of his voice and the
smile leave his face.
His trrandmother's face went white
every time she looked at him, know-
ing well he was brooding.
But Bill, never a word did he say;
no more dirt 1. I wanted to see what
stuff the lad was made of.
j One by one the Inds Joined the col-
j ors till half the vlllatre was gone, but
i never a word out of Bill.
I And pretty soon folks begun to tulk
and sneer at us.
"Well, serves 'em right," they said.
"They've pampered bint and petted him
till he's Just good for nothing."
One nlirht Bill "didn't come home, and
the morning mall brought a letter from
him. .
Bill's Farewell Note.
"Dearest folks," It read. "I can't
stand this un,v longer. I'm going away.
Trust me and forgive me. You'll heir
from me later. BILL."
His grandmother cried and cried till
I guess there were no more tears to
shed. And as for nie, I confess I wus
a little disappointed in BUI.
Then the gossips began to talk In
earnest.
"Gone to avoid the draft." said
some; "pleaded exemption on account
of his grandparents, and then, ashamed
to face his neighbors, has fled." suld
others.
Some said as how they had seen nlm
In • camp on the border. Others were
ftur# they hnd seen him working on a
farm In a distant state. And all the
time his grandmother and I not heur-
Iug a word from him.
"Joel," said his grandmother to me,
"how'll we stand It?" And I put my
arms nround her and said:
"Emily, I was Just about Bill's age
when the war with the South came.
Just about as sunny-hearted, and a
luughlng and a-singlng as he was.
When the force of the horribleness of
the thing struck me I fell to brooding
like Bill did.
"'War Is awful,' I told myself. I
didn't want to leave peaceful meadows
to kill men. You see, my views were
selfish, Emily. I wasn't thinking about
the other fellow at all.
"And then one night, still brooding
I fell Into a deep sleep. And in that
sleep came a vision.
"I saw a battlefield red with blood.
I heard the cries of the dying. And In
the midst of this chaos, this horror,
stood a man.
"A tall, gaunt man. He looked at me.
the sorrowful eyes full of pleading,
and held out his hands entreatlngly.
"'Will you come?' he said. And,
Emily, It seemed as If the scales fell
from my eyes. A fragment of a son«
they were singing then came exultant-
ly Into my soul.
" 'Yes,' I answered him, 'we're com-/
tng, we're coming. Father Abra'am,
three hundred thousand strong.'
"So, you see. dear," I told her, "we
don't know how Bill felt about this
war question, and we've Just gat to
live through It 'till we find out, that's
all."
After the War Was Over.
Well, one nl«ht 'bout three months
after the war was over, there was ter-
rible excitement In the village. A big
ovation to the returned heroes.
" Pears I'V* we'd better go, Joel, so
as folks wo~'t sov we're ashamed to,"
said Emily
Never <11 ci I see town hall look so
splendid. All dags and bunting, and a
big hand a-pla.vlng war sonirs.
The mayor stepped forward to In-
troduce the speaker of the evening.
I can remember Emily's face, how
ghastly white It grew. For the speak-
er, young and khakl-clad, with a medal
or two on his breast, was smiling right
Into our very eyes. And above the
crowd's approving cheers, Emily cried:
"Bill I"
With a trembling finger I touched
her wondering lips.
"Hush, dear!" I whispered. And
then the boy spoke:
"When the war clouds broke, the
horror of it struck me to the heart.
Night and day I brooded, ami ques-
tioned why men should leave penceful
homes to murder their fellow men.
"One night n vision came to me. I
saw the battlefields of France, the an-
guish of stricken Belgium. And In the
midst of these scenes stood a man, a
tall, gaunt man, with pleading eyes and
outstretched hands.
" 'Will you come?* he seemed to say.
And It seemed as If things were clear
to me. I must think of the other felt',
low, flint was the answer to my prob-
lem.
"And Into my heart came a hit of
song my grandfather used to sing. It
would serve as an answer to the sor-
rowful man:
"'Yes,' I said, 'we're coming, we're
coining. Father Abra'am, three hundred
thousand strong.'"
And there sat Emily and I, erylnir
like two children, hut no one heard in
for the people were cheering, and the
band was r'aylng:
"We're 'tuning, Father Ahra'nm
three hundred thousand strong,"
