Miss Nellie Gearhart returned Tues
day from Wilton where she visited at
the Chas Anderson home.
The Leader is proud of its large
growing list of subscribers. During
the last year there was not a week
that we did not have at least one new
subscriber. Lately we have been pub
fishing the list of new readers each
week to prove this statement. This is
a large county and there are still q
great many who do not get the county
seat paper. Sample copies are sent out
from time to time to give all a chance
to look over the Leader and decide for
themselves if it is worth the price we
ask. If you have a friend who has not
seer the paper, give US the name and
we will mail him a copy.

We Have Served Six Years

Six years ago tomorrow the present
management took charge of the Leader.
This is the longest that any one person
has had charge of the Leader since it
was established in June 1890 by John
Satterlund, who continues to be the
owner. During the life of the paper
there have been many editors in charge,
among them were Dick Copeland, H.
S. Wood, Aug. E. johnson, Fred Peter
son, Joe Taylor and w. F. Hogue.
Some of..these men are still in the news
paper business while others have found
more profitable business enterprises.
Under the present management the
Leader has tried to follow the policy of
. square deal toward all in making no
statements.
The circulation of this paper is on a
more substs initial basis than it has ever
been before. The new law governing
delinqents has been of great assistance
and meets with our approval.
The manager is at present ably as
sisted by Foreman Alvin E. Boen, Miss
Annie Anderson and Roy Ekstrom.

that valuable time was lost. When
she recovered from the loss of bel
treasures she directed her bugler to
sound the advance.
Now, General BustamentO, as l have
said. had great experience with wo'
men. having been married seven times
which is once more than King Henry
WILL, and had prepared an expedient
for them which, on seeing their line
move forward, he put into operation.
"What is that the enemy are firing
from those mortarsT' asked the Ameri-
can commander, raising his glass.
'They look like paper Shells" re.
marked his chief Of staff.
Great wads Of paper rose in the air
and, breaking apart. were scattered on
the ground oves which the woman's
brigade was passing. Here and there
a soldier in the ranks picked up one
and became absorbed in reading some
thing printed and looking at pictures
on 1t.
"Great heavens" cried General Pol
lywottle. "they are stopping to pick up
the papers. The advance is delayed.
Precious time is being lost"
Presently an officer from the w0-
mans brigade was een riding full gal
lop toward the commander in chief.
When she came up she saluted and
said:
General De Lancy directs me to re-
port that the enemy have fred a volley
Of fashion plates with descriptive art-

ed the advance and she is unable to
induce them to advance farther. They
are porting yer the papers and are
insensible even to danger. General
De Lancy respectfully suggests that
you send another force to turn the
enemy's flank" +,
Words that sounded like a volley
from a gatling gun left the generals
lips. There were no other troops to
send in place of the woman's brigade,
and General Bustamento. seeing his ad-
vantage. sounded a general advance.
The battle was lost. Within ten min

Experiments with improved instru-

goes on increasing after tie missile has
left the mouth Of the cannon. Leaving
the muzzle with a velocity of 1.474 feet
a second, q projectile has been observ.
ed to increase its speed to 1850 feet a
second within the first six feet. 1t is
only after having travelled twenty-five
yards that the projectile's velocity be-
comes reduced to the speed it had on

THE WOMAN'S
BRIGADE
A Story Of A. D. 1916
By SUSAN YOUNG PORTER
By SUSAN YOUNG r

During the first and second decades
II the twentieth century the women
IF England and America determined to
wrest the vote for themselves from self
Ish man. The principal argument used
against them was: IF you are citizens
In one respect you must be citizens in
ill respects. II you are voters you
must be soldiers"
The women triumphed. But their
securing the vote brought about that
which in the beginning they had not
intended. Having proved their cour-
age and endurance. they were forced
to do military service. The more deli
cate women could not be induced to go
to the polls. This gave the men a ma
jority, and an act was passed by con-
gress requiring military service from
women as we'll as e
To the surprise of every one, they
sprang forward with %alacrity. That
aggressive spirit which had led many
Of them to smash windows led them to
enlist, and the woman's brigade of the
United States army was organized and
placed under the command Of women
officers. The corps had hardly been
completed when the anarchic condition
If Mexico rendered Intervention neces.
,ary, and the Mexican war Of 1916
was repeated. The woman's brigade
was sent with other troops by sea to
Vera Cruz and began a rapid march
toward the capital.
Almost on the exact ground on which
was fought a century before the battle
of Buena Vista another fight occurred
between the Mexicans and Americans,
in which the women took a conspicu-
GUS part. But, unfortunately fol Cen
eral Pollywottle, the American COM
mander, 1t was his first fight with such
an auxiliary. and he was utterly igno-
rant of certain provisions he should
have made to guard against contingen-
cies to which they were liable.
In this respect the Mexican COM
mander, Antonio Rodriguez Busta-
mento. proved greatly the Americans
superior. The Mexicans were drawn
up in line Of battle to resist the ad-
vance Of the Americans, who hurled
themselves against their enemy with
great vigor. The woman's brigade, be.
ing a part Of the reserve, stood under
arms. impatiently waiting to be led
forward. Colonel Amanda Patterson
Of the First regiment sat her horse su-
perbly, respondent in a uniform cut
and decorated in a fashion that excited
the admiration and envy Of the whole
corps. Major Mildred Fortescue rode
over to Colonel Patterson to ask her
who was her tailor. Colonel Patterson
refused to give the information. This
led to hot words between the two. In
which many Of their subordinates join
ed, and before long their shrill words
could be heard above the singing bull
lets and shrieking shells.
"For heavens SAKE" reared the
American commander to an aid, ''send
those women into the fight! Our men
can't hear the orders for the din they
make. and there'll be a panic. Order
their general to lead them against the
enemy's left flank and turn It II pos
sible. Should they succeed the battle
is won"

STEEANss0N GETS BARTLETT
PEARY'S CAPTAIN TO BE SECOND
IN COMMAND.
Thirteen Scientists Will Accompany
Explorer Into the Polar Regions
Start in Early
June.

New York, May 21.-Capt Robert
Bartlett, sailing master and ice navi
gator of the Roosevelt, the vessel on
which Rear Admiral Peary made his
successful dash to the North Pole,
will have the same relative position
practically second in command-on
the Stefansson expedition that starts
in June for Artciic exploration.
Vilhjalmar Stefansson, the explorer,
made this announcement Tuesday. He
said, also, that the largest body Of
scientific men ever assembled for a
voyage into Polar regions will accom-.
pany him.
Captain Bartlett leaves at once for
Ottawa, en- route to Esquimault
where he expects to arrive in four OF
five days to attend to the loading OF
the stores and supplies for the Kar
LUX, the vessel that will carry the
i major part of the exploring party in
the North. The Karluk is now in dry
dock at Esquimault.
The presence of the scientists, 10 IN
number, together with the explorer
his skipper and the crew, will make
the expedition twice as large as when
the Canadian government agreed tc
finance it. This will make necessary
the equipment of an added vessel, Mr.
Stefansson said. The selection will
be made within a day or two, it is
expected.
Stefansson expects to leave New
York for Esquimault in about five
days. By the first week in June the
expedition will be ready to sail from
! Vancouver, B. c., according to pres
ent plans, and will proceed by way
Of Nome and Point Barrow, arriving
there the last week in July The au
tumn of 1916 is set for the return.
