A War Time Incident.

Ssltpetre Cave. Va, June 70, 1918.
Editor Register accidentally picked
I'D your paper today, and it reminded me
OF an incident that took place during the
war. was Confederate soldier, and
served under IubaI A. Early in the Valley
campaign OF 1864 One day in August or
September when we were coming down
the Valley was with the SharpShooters,
and we had been having pretty lively
time with the enemy's videtfes ana we
were driving them. II am not mistaken,
a short distance above ShepherdStown
we crossed the macadam road ana went
I'D a hill TO a brick house with some large
trees in The yard. When we got to the
house Of course the enemy had passed
and we were exchanging shots pretty
fast. One of our men was shot down
lust as we topped the hill little to the
left of the house Just about that time
our cavalry and the Yankee cavalry met
in flat some three hundred yards in
front of us and we were ordered TO halt
where we were.
We were taking the accoutrementS OIL
of the wounded man. when the lady OF
the house and Il supposed her three
children came out OF the house on the
rear side to be out OF the way Of the
enemy's bullets. There were two boys
and girl. The smallest boy, think,
he was I or II years old-maybe not so
old-came out to where we were liking
up the wounded man. We could see
the cavalry fight going on in front OF us,
and il was a grand sight, too. certainly
did enjoy tit was the Srst time ! had
ever had a chance to look at tight that
wasn't in myself. Well. this boy caught
the fighting fever, too, and commenced
putting on the wounded soldiers equip
ment. His mother tried to make him
come back to her so as to be out OF danger,
and we also tried to stop him or make
him go to his mother, but it was no go.
He put on the cartridge box and belt,
and when we were ordered forward ne
went with us barefooted and in his shirt
sleeves Through the running orlars,
giving the Rebel yell with the rest OF us.
He was the grittiest little fellow ever
saw.
This happened just about shutdown.
We drove the enemy across the Potomac
after dark, and in the darkness lost sight
OF the boy. have always been anxious
TO know what became OF him, and |
thought probably through you | might
find out who he was. Hoping to hear
something from you. | remain,
Very truly yours,

PUNISHMENT
Wardens on Lookout for
Hunters Who Disregard
Federal Laws.

One of these days some one
who thinks he knows more
about the laws than the officers
who enforce them is going to
get into a passed. OF trouble in
this neck of the woods over vio-
lations of the federal game laws.
The shooting season closed on
December Is. 1t doesn't make
any difference what is printed on
your state license That license
was printed before the federal
law was passed; it supersedes
the state laws, and you're get
ting ready for a nice little visit
to a federal prison when you
work on any other theory.
While the state will not prose-
cute you, tie game wardens will
report to the federal officers, and
you'll get yours there. Better
take some good advice: wipe out
that old gun OF yours, oil. it up
good and lay it away until the
game season opens next year.

A man who was afraid of thun-
der crawled into a hollow log as
a place of safety during thun-
der storm The thunder rolled
and the rain poured down in tor
rents and the old log began to
swell up until the roor fellow
was wedged in so tight that he
could not get out. All his past
sins began passing before him.
Suddenly he remembered that he
hadn't paid his newspaper SUBJ
scription, and he felt so small
that he was able to back right
out.
This is a lie, but We clipped it
out of a republican paper. Be-
sides, none of our subscribers are

"What is your opinion OF a
law that provides for the cleo

reward OF $500 to anyone who
can go into court and oust him
for non performance OF duty
and under which the official can
be kept meeting new suits con-

thing in the charges or not?
Isn't such a law beyond the
limit?'-Fred Floed in the 'New

it passed what was considered
"the limit" at the time of its
passage. but we've had another

AN Iowa paper gives some

in q condensed form are that
we We let timber go to waste
and are now buying wire fenc-
ing and lumber from foreign
countries. we throw away ashes
and grease and buy our soap;
we raise too many dogs and
buy too many hogs; we raise
too many weeds and buy too
many vegetables; we catch a

build school houses and then
send away our children to be
educated; we send our boys
out with a $40 gun and $40 dog
to hunt two-cent rabbits and
ten cent birds; and lastly, we
mortgage our homes to buy
four-priced automobiles that
we don't know how to run or
keep up. 1t is the cost of high
living and not the high cost of
living that ails this country.

UNITY OF EFFORT

The following from the Lam
kin Reporter hits the nail
squarely on the head and ap-
plies equally we'll to every
community in North Dakota,
large or small. The Reporter
says:
Town and country people
together can do a great deal for
this community as q whole
that neither could do alone.
Better by far that all the
money and efforts of our COM
munity be combined and con-
contracted in producing the
efficiency in community affairs
than that be 80 divided and
scattered as to result in medic
Gritty or in total failure.
The farmer must give his
undivided support to the town
institutions to which he looks
for service of any kind; the
merchant also in planning and
management of village institu-
tons must give consideration
to the needs and wishes of the
farmer.
% public institutions
must be 80 organized and 80
conducted as to merit and re-
ceive the undivided support
and patronage of the entire
population. as well as to serve
with equal effectiveness all
members of the community.
Community wealth must be
used for community service.
The inclination in some quart
ers to separate the interests OF
the country from those of the
town is short sighted and only
temporary. Mere mature con-
alteration and only a little ex-
perience will show it's folly.
Let ia but understand each
other and the situation in
which we are placed and we
shall at once realize that we
are all aiming at the same
mark, seeking q single end to
make this. our home cOmmun-
ity. enterprising. progressive
and prosperous. Let US pull
together and not apart"
