The Bible is the most practical
book ever printed. It explains the
truth in common every day terms.
Every one knows something about
love. Whoever loves wife, husband,
children or friends, is religious.
Love grows through loving and be
ing loved. God’s love is perfect,
and is expressed through Christ
and through sincere believers in
Christ. (Adv.)

SAPPER TELLS HOW He
BLEW UP GERMANS
PARIS, March 8.—“We were in a
front line trench on the slope of
Cote Du Poivre,” said a wounded
soldier who was sent to a local hos
pital recently.
“The captgin sent me forward to
a small shelter in the open where
the electric contact had been placed
which led to a mine in a field.
“1 crawled to it along a narrow
tunnel without mishap.
“Through a slit 1 looted out on
the battlefield as through the open
ing in a theatre curtain. • I saw
the Germans after long waiting
march forward in good order. They
thought from their observation that
the bombardment had sufficiently
devastated our trenches, but they
were unable to see that our men
had held firm and were making
fresh trenches and using shell
craters.
“The Germans were 200 yards
from my post when our rifles and
machine guns opened fire. They
were taken by surprise and crouch
ed down. When the order was
passed along their line to advance
they began to sing ‘The Watch on
the Rhine’ and dashed forward.
“My heart beat madly. They were
over the mine at last. I touched the
button. An infernal fountain seem
ed to shoot up, in the midst of the
mass of men in gray, with a ma
jestic whirling of smoke. I saw
men go up bodily as if from the
crater of a volcano.
“The attack was stopped. I crawl
ed back to my trench. I barely
emerged from the tunnel when I
felt a burning sensation in my
shoulder and fainted. When I re
covered consciousness I found my
self in an ambulance.”

THE SUFFERERS OF VERDUN, j
PARIS, March 5.—Reports from
Verdun say that 21 persons of the
civilian population have been killed
by shells which fell in the city. A
small remnant of the population
was still reluctant to leave, but
were urged by the authorities to go
and they crowded on open freight
cars, used for the handling of ar
tillery and exposed to the snow and
the cold, they departed for a safer
region. One aged woman had re
fused' to go, stating that she was
resigned to die, but her maid, who
herself wss 62 years of age, plead
ed with her and finally placed her
in a wheelbarrow and wheeled her
eight miles through snow and mud |
to a place of safety.

WRONGLY PICTURED.
Now, as everybody knows, Bob is
a nice young man and everything,
and he is never late to his work,
yet someone made a cartoon of Bob
that is real funny, at the same
time it is very good of Bob as
everybody can recognize him by
that picture. The funny part of it
is that he is pictured with a
sausage in one hand and a piece
of bread in the other going to his
work at a terrific gait, and in
scribed, “Bob: any 7:59 a. m., by
one who knows.” As though he was
always late, and that’s where the
wrong part comes in. Wonder who
was the cartoonist ?

1 FACTS ABOUT COFFEE I
Our COFFEE, ’tis of thee,
Friend of humanity,
Of thee we sing.
THOU stimulating cup,
With life in every sup.
We ne’er could give thee up;
Delicious thing.
Patients who must be nursed,
Sisters most dead with thirst,
To thee they come.
Thou currest their aches and pains,
Cleared up their muddied brains,
Till health throbed in their vains,
None didst succumb.
Of thee we’ll ever think,
Wake up at night to drink,
One more sweet cup.
And when thou art all gone,
Of joys there’ll then be none,
Our lives we’ll fain lay down,
“The jig is up.
If you must have
Coffee, buy a brand
that is good.
One that sells for
the same money every
day in the year.
Our HILLS SPECIAL
eitthe fresh ground or
in the bean at 35c. per
pound 3 for $1.00, we
