It was the first chance I had to take a good look at this brother of mine after his year's ab- sence. Every time I had attempted it T had met his eyes fixed upon me with an inscrutable look that puzzled snd embarrassed me. Now, however, he was occupied with the menu card, end I stared openly at him.

I can't realize vet there is a war. You see 1 didn’t hear of it until a few weeks ago when we first got out of the wil- derness. The waiter waxed confidential. “You'd know it if you were here, sir,” he said respectfully. “Almost all our boys have gone back to fight for France. I wish I were only young enough ‘to go.” We looked around the restaurant and confirmed his words. The waiters were all men over middle age, not a voung man among them. I gave a little shiver at the thought of what it all meant. Jack saw it.

RBut T would not spoil Jack’s pleasure by telling him so. “What next, consomme, or isn't it here vou used to get that chicken broth you liked so well?” “How well you remember, T exclaimed in astonishment. “Do vou think I could forget?” he asked quietly. Something in his tone gave me that vague uncomfortable fear again. “The chicken broth here is very good,” I said hastily. “Let us have gome. “All right. fish. So what shall centerpiece?” I knew Jack’s favorite dish, fortun- ately. If he could sit down In front of just the right kind of steak, thick, julcy, broiled just right, he was happy. “A steak by all means,” T answered. “I haven’t had a good one in ages.” “I'm sure you're saying that to please me,” Jack protested, “but I haven't the heart to say no. You can imagine the food I've lived on in South America. But you must order the Test of the meal “Surely T will,”” T said, for T knew the things he liked. “Baked potatoes, new asparagus, buttered beets ro- maine salad, and we'll talk about the dessert later.” The waiter away. “You're either garet, or—" “Perhaps T, too, have a memory.” T returned gayly, and then regretted the speech as I saw the look that leaped | into Jack’s ves. “I wish T was sure.” he began im- petuously, then he checked himself, “TI wonder whether we are too early for anw music,” he finished lamely. “I am afraid so,” I said. “It doesn’t matter anyw: want to talk, not to listen. something to tell you my dear, T've been thinking about all th T've been gone, “Give Me Time.” T did not realize the impulse that made me stretch out my hand, lay it apon his, and ask gentl “Please, Jack, don't tell me any- thing important until after dinner.

ADVERTISING HAS HELPED ORANGE MEN Sucoes_s of California Fruit Grow- ers Exchange Due fo Publicity Jack cheese with assented. the black Champaign, 111, Jan. 4.—“The suc- of the California Fruit Growers Exchange is due to advertising,” says J. E. Byrnes, 1923 Maple avenue, a member of the Chicago exchange, in an address at the State Horticultural society convention here. § Mr. Byrnes “Modern Methods of Co-operation,” and his talk proved so interesting that the sion was prolonged considerably over spoke on the noon hour by the questions from the audience. Large Advertising Budget. “The FExchange plans to $400,000 for newspaper advertising alone next year,” added Mr. Byrnes, “vet the cost of advertising oranges has never heen per box, spend more than 1.5 cents The cost of the marketing and advertising service furnished by the association is only 1.5 per cent. of the total gross receipts of fruit sales, or 6 3-4 cents per bo The California Fruit Growers Bx- change puts out the celebrated Sun- kist oranges and Mr. Byrnes showed quite conclusively the advantage of adopting a brand name for fruit and then making the name a guarantee of a certan standard of quality. Sun- kist oranges must come up to a cer- tain standard of quality and must be packeQUld in a certain thorough man- ner. This guarantee of quality has proven a very great aid in market- ing. Sixty-two per cent. of the citrus fruit of California is now marketed through the exchange. Association Is Not a Trust. The association is co-operative and non-profit-sharing. It has been sailed several times as a trust, but in each investigation has easily proven this not to be the case. Fach grower in the association ships his fruit to a market of his own selection and wires the exchange's agent at that place the price he wants for the fruit. Bids are then solicited from commission and in case a bid is equal to or above the figure the car is sold; otherwise it is returned to the grower. Results of all' sales are wired each day to California and (hese messages are published in a daily bulletin sent out to members of the association. Ilab- orate information on market condi- tions is also included in the bulietins, so that eadh grower knows pre | prices and market prospects. Dealers’ Service Burcau. The work of the Exchange has been extended into many lines including lately a dealers’ service bureau of which Mr. Byrnes is manager. Last year 1,500,000 orange spoons were distributed by the association, which is now the nation largest buyer of silverware. The spoons are given in exchange for Sunkist wrap- pers and a few cents in money or stamps. Mr. Byrnes told of a number of in- vestigations the Iixchange has made to determine the effect of maintaining a safe subjects, we'll stick to them.’ The omnibus had spread the table with a clean cloth and the silver.

T8y O il GEN. DODGE DIES AT HIS HOME IN 10WA Hero of Civil War and Pioneer in Railroad Building Council Bluffs, Ta., Jan. 4.—General srenville M, Dodge, distinguished sol- dier and railroad builder, died at his home here yesterday afternoon. The funeral will be held Thursday and will be in charge of Colonel Matt A. Kinney of the Towa National Guard in accordance with General Dodge’s wishes, expressed shortly before his y deatn. Two hattalions of Towa ana Nebraska guardsmen will act as es- cort. General Dodge's three daugh- ters will atttend the funeral but his wife, who is in New York, has an- nounced that she is too ill to make the trip. Distinguished in War Two notakle services to his country ssure Major Genoral Grenville Mel- {len Dedge a place among the history makers of the Civil war and recon- | struction periods. As a soldier his | valor is attested by the fact that four | horses were shot from under him in | the battle of Pea Ridge and that he himself received wounds in several battles. As a pioneer in western rail- { road building ho has the Union Pa- cific railroad, whose line he located and whose construction he superin- tended, standing today as a monument to his memor. Some sixty years ago, the then voung Dodge, who had moved from New England, where he had studied civil engineering. to Council Bluffs, Ta. entered the amploy of the Illinois Cen- tral railroad. Abraham Lincoln, who had done legal work for the same company, met the young Yankee. They talked of building a railroad over the Rocky Mountains and beyvond. The world had been laughing at the pro- ject. it was feasible. Dodge Leads Party. The federal government shortly aft- the proposed line. Dodge jumped at the chance of leading the party. Sev- eral trips were made as far as the Rocky Mountains searching for the most feasibie route, the men under Dodge plunging into many a wilder- ness to meet stubhorn resistance on the part of the Indians. In the midst of the undertaking the Civil War broke out. Dodge, born at Danvers, Mass., in 1831, was just 30 vears old. He had had some military | training at Norwich University, in Vermont, and some experience fight- mission from his old friend. President Lincoln, he raised. drilled and equipped at his own expense the Fourth Towa Infantry Regiment. Gallantry Wins Promotion. Within two weeks Colonel Dodze | | was leading his command against the | rebels in northern Missouri. His gal- | lantry soon afterward at the battle of | | Pea Ridse won almost instant promo- tion to the rank of brigadier general. | He lost one-fourth of his entire com- | mand, but he saved the day for the | federal army. He again distinguished himself in the decisive battle of the Atlanta campaign, July 22, 1864, when he defeated General Hood's desperate Lincoln and Dodge agreed that erward decided to begin surveying for ; ing Tndians. Securing a colonel’s com- | | MacDuffee demands a share movement to the rear of the Army of the Tennessee. Later while standing in a trench be- fore Atlanta, General Dodge was shot and severely wounded in the head. After the fall of Vicksburg he re- ceived appreciative recognition from General Grant, being promoted to ma- jor general and given command of the Sixteenth Army Corps. Hanging of Spy The hanging of “Sam” Davis a Con- federate spy who was captured in Ten- nessee, was one of the incidents of General Dodge's career. On Davis were found complete plans of the fortifications at Nashville, which, evi- dently, he had received from somie federal officer high in authority. Gen- eral Dodge offered the young spy his freedom is he would reveal the name of his informant, but the accused man refused. Half a dozen times before sending the man to the gallows, Gen- eral Dodge offered him immunity. The spy went to his death with his lips closed. “He was the bravest man that ever died,” said General Dodge. Railroad Builder. When General Dodge retired - in 1866, it was to go back to railroad building. Once, in the meantime, Lin= coln had summoned Dodge to Wash- mgton for a conference on the route. Dodge suggested Omaha as the east- ern terminus of the railway and it was at his suggestion that this deci- sion was made. Work had progressed but slowly, however, up to 1866, when Dodge took charge again. By May, 1867 he had 12,000 men along the river Platte, and he kept them stead- ily moving westward Within three vears the last spike was driven In addition to his military service and his engineering successes, Gen- eral Dodge remained up to late fn life an active and influential man. He was elected to Congress the first vear after the war. and it was said that a promising political life was before him, but he declined renomination, in favor of the railway project. He was later a delegate to the republican na- tional conventions of 1868 and 1876. In 1898 he was chairman of the President’'s commission to inquire into the management of the war with Spain. He was for a time command- er-in-chief of the military order of the Loyal Legion and an officer of | numerous patriotic organizations.
