ICE CREAM SODAS FOR BOYS IN FRANCE X. M. C. A. Orders Fruit Flavors for One Million Summer Drinks. One million ice cream sodas. ▲ ah! Sufficient to cool the throats of a flock of giraffes—ice cold, fizzy, flavor ed with "strobry,” “razbry,” “cherry,” “peuch or pineapple." Um-rn! They may not seem so imposing here, with sodu fountains on every impor tant business corner, but—oh, boy! won’t they be sample packages of heaven to the American boys over in the war zone? Over there where, if reports be true, drug stores, masquer ading as chemists’ shops, try to get by with nothing but drugs. France’s pet drinks, champagne and red wine, are going to turn an absinthe green with jealousy this summer when the great American drink begins fizzing along tlie battle front and going over the top of the glasses. And the as surance of nt least a million fruit-fla vored drinks as a starter is found in the cabled order just received by C. V. Hibbard, general secretary of the over seas department of the Y. M. C. A. war work council, from the organiza tion’s official in France. The mes sage follows: “Send quickly concentrated fruit sirups for one million summer drinks." And the Y. M. C. A. war work coun cil has a way of sending quickly any taing ordered sent quickly So it is a sure thing that when the heat begins to give tile American soldier boys an awful thirst, they will turn gratefully from the trenches to the “Y” huts where they received hot chocolate last winter, and there they will clamor for a “strobry," or a “razbry sody.” Possibly to assure plenty of foam, the same cablegram ordered the war work council to send one ton of shaving soap, while the other creature com forts for soldiers, among the items re quired, were four American pool ta bles, ten tons chocolate bars, ten tons granulated sugar, ten tons flour, ten tons assorted cigarettes and five tons smoking tobacco. GIRLS TO RAISE PIGS There Are 500 Young People Enrolled in Contest. Seven girls will raise thoroughbred pigs tills yenr In Tuscarawas county, O., to compete In state and county •ontests.

Poultry raisers already have set 3, 750 purebred eggs for hatching. The seven girls who will raise pigs are Thelma Shoemaker of Tuscarawas. Phyllis Hoopengurner and Grace Mc Cullough of Winfield, Margaret .•ichl«n tner of Strasburg, Mary Streb and Mary r.leser of Parrull and Zelda WIegund of Sugar creek township. These girls will try to bring the pig raising championship of the state to this county. Two years ago the cham pion pig grower In Ohio was a girl. It was said her success was due to the fact that she gave her pig a bath once a week. HUNTERS DISCOVER LAKE It Was In Their County but They Never Heard of It.
