Ho saw Cu'lJt. Nolan, suave young uid-do- til nip of the Hiitlsh commander, lffd Ituglan, dash up and hund Lord l.tttun, cavalry commander, a note. Mj Cutting, then a seventeen-yeur-olt Urltlsh trooper, did not know wli.it the note contained,. History ayya it contained thfHo tero orders: ''Lord Haglnn wiwhes the cavalry to advunce j'ipldly to the front and try - to prevent the enemy carrying uwny the guns French cavalry is on your loft." ..Cutting saw his commander thrust that noto into his glove before its bearer rodo away. "Forward, the Light Brigade!" Tho command rang. There was a flrtfih of sabres. Down into tho val ley dashed the lino of British horsc uji;n, to certain destruction. .Cutting, who for 46 years was a rallroud omployo at Iowa Falls and Cedar Falls, retired two years ago. and its now making his homo in this city. Ho is now 85 years old and ws seventeen when he enlisted in the Kloventh Hussars of her majesty, Queen Victoria. Mr. Cutting believes ho Is among tho last, if not tho last, of the men vwho were immortalized by; Tonnyson. , He vividly recalls tho char go. Ho viiys ho saw nothing, knew nothing hut felt within him .tho In Han; urgo that drove him forward with a fu rious desiro to bury ' his saber In a ituMslan breast. "The tight Brigade." Mr. Cutting soys, "was composed of tho Fourth and Thirteenth Dragoons, tho Eighth and Eleventh Hussars and tho Seven teenth Lancers. It was commanded by, Lord Cardigan. The men wore red trousers and bluo Jackets which gained for them tho name of 'Cherry logs.' . "Tho Brlgado had been lying inac tive during tho progress of tho flght inq until tho order to charge came. Tho batllo had hardly begun until it was ovor. Blindly a fow stragglers, c lumbering over moaning comrades, yuggllng through heaps of dead Hnd dying horses and men in death throes, pools of blood, fought their w.uy to tho rear of tho ine." ,'Mr. Cutting disagrees with history as to tho number who returned. He eays thero wero only six. I Ho was asked what was tho eecrot df the futilo and merciless command. Cutting said Lord Kagtan denied to Lord Lucan that he had ever glvep tnti order to charge, and that then Lord Lucan pulled tho onlty from Mh glove where ho had tucked it. "Tn thnt your handwriting?"

Tho international Olympic committee today authorized the city of Ixs Anseles to hold' international Karnes under the patronage oT the com mittee in Scptomber, 1923, to dedicate Its new stadium. These games, how ever, will have no connection with the regular Olympics.- ,L ' VEGETABLES IN U. S. A. VALUED AT A WASHINGTON. Vegetables grown in tho United States in 1921 had an estimated value of $1,104, jU.OOO, ac cording to the department of agricul ture. This was 15.7 percent of the total value of all crops. The products of market gardens, which may or may not have been productive enough to be farms within the census definition, are not Included in these estimates. The total value of truck vegetables produced for sale often called the com mercial crop, was estimated by the de partment at $227,000,000. The potato crop had a farm value of $385,000,000, and the sweet potato, $87,000,000. Together, these two crops comprised 43 percent of the value of all vegetables in 1921. The tomato crop of 1921 had a farm value of $0,000,000; the cantaloupe crop wasj worth $17,000,000; the cucumber, watermelon and cabbage crops each! had a value of about $15,000,000. i Farm gardens are a new item in the j vegetable list and had an estimated i value of $405,000,000 in 1912. ; The value of tho vegetable crop in ; relation to prominent single crops and ; to groups oi crops has some striking ratios for 1921, a year when the values of the large crops were low tho de partment pointed out. The total value of the vegetable crop for 1921 was 85 per cent of the value of the great corn crop; it was almost as large as me value of the hay and forage crops; it was nearly one-half as large as the value of the dairy products; it was considerably larger than the value of all poultry products; 46 percent larger than the value of the cotton crop; and 50 porcent larger than the value of the winter and spring wheat crops. . NATURE LOVES BRIGHT t COLORS AVc see the truth of this statement in the vnricolored flowers, tho vivid sunsets, the birds of brilliant plum- nco. But wo never see It exempli fied more attractively than in tho person of a splendidly healtny womnn. How does nature paint this health? Why In the rosy chocks, tho transparent skin, tho smooth red lips of sueli a woman. And she molds It in firm flesh and rounded contours. The ailing woman is doficlent in natural coloring, and she does not even appear to advantage In clothes that would set off her more attrac tive sister. Many women who long for glowing health will find that they, too, can have these charms If they will give a trial to that rem edy ,whleh brings strength to frail women Lydia E.
