My garden lies in Flanders,
Where flaunting poppies grow,
Its boundary a wooden cross
Which shadows all below.
When winter days are over,
The snow-drops peeping through,
Entangled with the ivy,
Revive my thoughts anew.
In dreams 1 plant my gaden,
With forget-me-nots so blue
With pansies, for thoughts, they say
Which live and bloom for you.
The daffodils awaken
The promises are made.
But yellow means forsaken,
Anil hopes'and joys all fade.
The summer roses mingle,
So gaily, red and wiute,
The reo lor love’s red and white,
The red lor love's Ueep passion,
The white for pain's aarlc night.
The Master wains my garden,
And rests beside the cross,
He knows our deep heart’s longing.
The weary years of loss.
Sometime ucross my garden
There’s a whisper in the air,
“0 cease thy heart's love vigil,
Are not other loves as fair'.'”
Master, gather a posy,
To show him 1 am true,
Take rosemary for remembrance,
And forget-me-nots of blue.
(The above poem was written by
an English Lady for the mothers and
wives and sisters of those who sleep
in die fields of France and Flanders.)
This day marks the Nineteenth
Anniversary of a day which set the
whole world wild with joy. Staid,
constitutional people who had never
known to show feeling- of any kind
become wild, irresponsible boys in
their rejoicing- at the end of the
greatest carnage the world has ever
known.
Remember how eagerly you
scanned every casulty list, how you
hoped and prayed no name of your
loved ones or even acquaintances
would be listed there. Remember the
shock when some one you knew who
bad a boy overseas received that fa
tal telegram from the War Depart
ment stating their boy was killed in
action or even worse that fatal word
’Missing” in action would be re
ported.
When marked “missing" it gen
erally meant that that beloved boy
bad been blown to bits by an ene-
m y shell, that young life so dear to
all, that boy who so wanted to live
and return to his mother and loved
ones, probably had a young wife
sweet heart waiting, had become
worse than dust, just stinking torn

In this hurry and bustle world of

friends—forget to visit them; forget

BUILDS A NEW DRY
KILN OF LARGE SIZE
Dries Lumber in 70 Hours; Would
Require 60 Days If Dried
By Air
Air. L. L. Minor, president of tho
Butler Lumber Co., located here,
has recently completed the construc
tion- of a Moore Cross Circulating
Dry Kiln -of the latest type at a
cost of approximately $5,000.00.
This kiln, is 20 by 44 feel, in di
mensions and has a capacity of 30,-
OOO feet of lumber. The temperature
inside the kiln is extremely high and
will dry pine or hardwood material
within seventy -hours, whereas ordi
nary sy- dyying of ), .nber required
sixty days.
By using this method of drying,
the value of the lumber thus dried
is increased by not less than twenty-
five per cent.
The local concern now operates
the only kiln of its kind! to he found
between) Americus and Griffin, and
is consequently in position to supply
tllie local trade with building materi
al equal in every way to that found
in cities much larger than Butler,

It was right at the height of the
fall spraying season. While some of
the equipment of the company was
damaged, most of the -materials were
in another building.
The fire, chief said that oil tanks
containing 1,000 gallons of crude oil
were ignited 1 , hut the fire in the
tank® was put out.
The warehouse caught fire, but
firemen put out the flames there,
also.
The plant in which dusting ma
terial: is prepared for the market
was not damaged.
Fire Chief T. M. Antho-ne said
that what was known as the oil
emulsion plant will have to be re
built. He said he $s told this would
be done at once. This plant also
contained the lime and- sulphur -liquid
mixing apparatus.
