HIS NEXT HARBOIt
Ai' Atlantic Port.—The irrepress
ible humor of the American fight
ing man in the face of dea-tli was
not pbated by the German torpedo
boat that sank the United States
destroyer Jacob Jones December 6.
Licat. Xoriuan Scott, who arrived
here with Lieutenant Commander
Davi ". Worth Ragley, commander of
th»- Jacob Jones, told the Btory of a
sailor who had been hurled into
the sea by the explosion of the tor
pedo.
Spouting water and battling with
the waves, the sailor grinned and
shdo«.ed to his mate, "Oh, boys!
Where do we go from here?"
Commander Bagley, it was
learned from naval officers who ac
companied him, planned to Burren
•'e" nimself as a prisoner of war to
the submarine in order to gave tho
cr°w of the Jacob Jones, sixty-six of
whom perished. The U-boat disap
peared, howevfer, before ho could
make the offer to tho German com
mander. Commander Ragljy was the
Ja^t man to leave the ill-fated de
strover. After he had beon hauled
into a dory, Commander Bagley said
to Lieut. Scott:.
"Keep an eye out for the sub
marine, Scott. If Fritz will give
us- a tow 1 will give myself up."
5oon the periscope of the subma
rine came to the surface, 5n0 yards
away. The U-boat approached an
American sailor struggling in the
water and four Germans dragged th<
man aboard. The submarine then
headed off.

THE GIRL ON THE FARM.
Why Not Give Her Some Attention a*
Well at the Boy?
la recent years the problem of keep
ing the boy on the furm lias been
thought serious enough to arouse con
siderable discussion.
The farmer has been told that he
ought to provide the most modem agri
cultural machinery In order to obviate
the hard labor of farming and keep
the boys Interested; that he should
send his boys to a good school of sci
entific agriculture; that he should set
aside a certain portion of the farm for
the boy and permit him to keep the
profit from his operation, and he has
been told many other things, In all of
which the Importance of the boy to the
farm was emphasized and plans «ug
gested to make his lot a little easier
and more promising. The county agent
has interested himself In the problem
by organizing boys' corn growing and
other agricultural contests.
Bat how about keeping the girl on
the farm? The girl does not ordinarily
do the heavy Held work, but her serv
ices in homekeeping, cooking and mend
ing aa well as in buttermaking, milk
ing, caring for garden and chickens,
which tasks usually fall to her lot, are
surely valuable enough to warrant the
greatest consideration. And yet dis
cussion of the problem of keeping the
girl on the farm la Infrequent.—Indian
apolis News. ;
Often Weil Hidden.
"A woman can never keep anything
to herself." said Danboy to his wife,
who had been repeating something he
didn't want known.
"Oh, yes, she can," said Mrs. Danboy
iweetly.
"I'd like to know what It is?"' he
growled.

her husband."—London Tit-Bits.
