Turning to the press table, he raised his hand and showed live entended fingers. AA T hen he did so lie smiled, though the smile was sickly. The next 1 moment displayed his accuracy. The I solicitor general read the verdict. It was that the jury had found him guilty and that his maximum punishment was five years, his maximum punishment | was the same thing—and then Powers closed his five fingers.

CAN THESE THINGS HAPPENINWINDER? It was about this season of the year, two years ago, that we made tlie fa mous hike to the Rhine. The days were bitter cold, the like of which we sel dom experience in this Southland. Our regiment stopped for the night in a town about the size of Winder. We billited our company and I sought shelter in one of the old fashioned stone homes. The good lady showed me a room and tried to tell me how glad she was that an American soldier was to occupy the room that had long been Inhabited by a German officer. The Germans had taken everything in the room that was of any value, all the bed clothing was gone. The mattress that was made to the bed was all that was left. Before my departure, I discovered that the lady, her eight year old son, uml her old mother were the only oc cupants of the home, and that they were living on a fare you would not expect your dog to eat. They had cabbage boiled in clear water, no meats, and a mixture they called bread, made of beach nut and brand. The old grandmother, hungry and cold, seemed cheerful and glad that the Germans were gone. The mother was working with anew determination and happy over the thoughts that some day she would be able to make a plenty for them to eat. They made no com plaint of being hungry, but before I left I gave the boy a cracker, and never will 1 forget how he seized with his two hand the hard cracker and with a hungry look I had never seen and never hope to see again, he ate it almost without looking up. It was then that I learned from the mother the story of how they had and were still suffering the pangs of hun ger. I gladly gave them the last crack er from my pack, and when I left the home the little boy was holding them fast and calling out, “Long Live Amer ica.” As I write this I fancy I hear you say: “If it were not so far away, I would gladly deny myself of one meal or a few pennies in order that this old and liepless grandmother might at least have plenty to eat in her lust days. And the mother and hoy be free from hunger and cold. Some days ago I visited a home in AA’inder, where lives a widowed mother and six small children They, tot* are hungry. The only food in the house was a handful of meal. They, too, are cold, the two beds wiiere sleep the seven, have not enough cover to keep them warm these cold nights, to say nothing of the empty coal bin. To my knowledge, there are six other families at our very door, that are really suffering. There is not a man or boy at either place to help furnish substance. They did not ask for help when 1 1 <§y had work, they are not ask ing for it now, hut they are practically out of work and in need. I know you want to help—we all co. J. AV. FARRINGTON, JR.
