Letter From the Philippines.
Philippines Islands,
November 9th, 1915.

Philippines Islands,
Noyembe 9th, 1915.
Elitor Mrs. Gruntly
Just a few words to my friends
and. love ones. | wish to warn
you all of the Philippines, Islands
You who are in Gods country, if
you cannot stand heat you had
better stay in the states. And
boys you can all join the army
that wants too, but if was back
in the states and know what | do
now, i would never, no never
join the army. Especially to
come to the Philippines, for peo-
pie you cannot see single white
girl in the Philippines, you can
only see these PhilippinesSqdaw
of course it's all right to make
the trip over, that is if you can
90 back right away. | certainly
enjoyed the trip over here, but
[ don't fancy staying in the
Philippines. This country was
not intended for white people.
| will tell you people a man or
boy that has got a home or cares
anything about his people, he
had better stay in the states, for
if a mancomes tothe Philippines
and don't hold his head level, he
is liable not to return, and if he
does he is just likely to return
in straight jacket as not. The
sunshine certainly workes on Il
mans brains. We never have
anything to do in the afternoon
as the sun will not let us. But
that is not all, when you get a
letter from home, or one from
true lover, then when you hap
pen not to get any letter at all.
The states mail only comes in
here once month. If you miss
one boat without getting letter
it seems like everybody is dead
for the next month. Then if
anything should happen, here
you are, you cannot get back
under twenty-five days no way
you go.
| have been most everything
in the world, but believe | am
a soldier out of the world now.

GREAT BENEFIT In
SHORT COURSE.

What is known as "the short
course in agriculture will be
held at the University Of Ten
nessee at Knoxville January 3 to
FEBRUARY 26, 7 1916, and every
farmer in the state should avail
himself of the opportunity to at
tend. There are no fees, no en-
trance requirements, and the
University announces that ar
rangements can be made for
cheap board during the session.
Those interested in lettering
the agricultural and live stock
conditions over the state recog-
nize the splendid work which the
state University is doing, and
the tremendous benefits to the
farmers who take advantage of
the short course.
During the course lectures will

the coaches were loaded with
negroes, and out they rolled,
around the curves with all their
speed, pounding on their shining
heads, no one had ever thought,
the word was quickly brought.
Read and Lehr, and negroes were
killed on the main line. Ever
rail road boys heart was broken
here, in every eye was found a
tear, eve love them, Oh we
love them," how we have missed
them since that day. Be care
full boys, be ready if you should
have to 90 that way, rail road
boys | love your joys, I've ex-
perienced the hard ships too. Be
careful in your work, though
death may lurk in the murkey
gloom before, you make your
schedule all good and true, and
when your time comes to depart,
God will give you a clearance
card and pass you safely through.

WAR UPON PAIN,

Pain is visitor to every hom-
and usually it comes quiet un-
expectedly. But you are pre-
pared for every emergency if you
keep a small bottle of Sloan's
Liniment handy. 1t is the grea-
test pain killer ever discovered.
Simply laid on the skin-no rub
bing required--it drives the pain
away. 1t is really wonderful.
Mervin H. Soister, Berkeley,
Gal. writes: Last Saturday,
after tramping around the Pa
mama Exposition with wet feet,
| came home with my neck so
stiff that | couldn't turn. | aD-
piled Sloan's Liniment free Y
and went to bed. To my sur
prise, next morning the stiffness
had almost disappeared, four
hours after the second applica-
ton | was as good as new"

THE RICHES OWNED
BY FARMERS

The american farmer today repre-
sents q new generation OF intelligent,
Independent, thrifty people with money
and inclination to be progressive. The
farm products Of this year bring to
the farmers and planters probably five
billion dollars, which would prove that
they could corner the money market
of this country If they got tcgcthet
and used ID as one man. Strength,
Btrenuosity and the future health of
the American people depend upon our
country folks. As q rule, country
folk are healthier than those who live
in cur crowded cities. Consumption
is a disease Of civilization. Life In the
open air and sunshine gives vitality
and health. Nature is the great
teacher and developer Of mankind. Peo-
pie have more faith in a remedy which
is taken from Nature, from the vege-
table kingdom, than from any other
source. A remedy which has enjoyed
q grand reputation for nearly half
a century is DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, an Alternative ex-
tract taken from barks, roots with
pure 9lycerine, without the use nf
particle of alcohol or narcotics. This
medicine goes 10 the root GI ulSeaSS
by initiating Natures methods of re-
storing waste Of tissue and impover-
ishment of the blood and nervous force.
This Medical Discovery" of DR..
Pierce coaxes the digestive functions
and helps In the assimilation OF food,
or rather takes from the food just the
nutriment the blood requires.
The prompt and certain action OF
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
in driving all harmful germs and i'm
purities from the blood, sets in motion
the repair process which works actively
ON the diseased membrane where Ca-
tarrh fiourishes unchecked or where the
skin gives warning Of the bad blood
beneath by showing pimples and boils,
also the skin clears up and becomes
wholesome and Tuddy.

G.. A. Klingler of South Bend, In
diana, passed away last night at the
home of his wife's cousin, Mrs. w.
S. Worthington, on east Second

Mr.. Klinger came to this city with
his wife last Friday morning, in
tending to remain for some time on
account of his health, but grew sud
denly worse. He has been in i'll
health for years and the end was
not entirely unexpected. Mrs. King
Ter is cousin of Mrs. Worthington
and of the late William H. Ennis,
who passed away in this city about
two years ago. There are no chill
dren and no other relatives near this
city. Mrs. Klingler will return to

Base Ball all Week.

Fort Dodge's new ball team and
the Webster City Nationals contest
ed for honors in that city during the
past two days. This was the OPEN
ing of the ball season for the gyp-
sum city, the formal opening having
been delayed on account of rain two
or three times. In the first game Fl
Dodge won by score of to 3. Yes
terday's game was won by Webster
City, score 6 to 3. Yes, it was Fort
Dodge's crack all-league team,
against which Storm Lake had no
show-all of which indicates that
Webster City's ball team is surely
going some. Wheeler pitched for
Webster City yesterday.
This afternoon and tomorrow
Storm Lake and the Nationals will
meet in this city, and Thursday,
Friday and Saturday, Fort Dodge
will play here, making full sched-
ule for every day this week in this
city.
During all of next week the Ma
tionals will be in Minnesota and
there will therefore be no games
here.

of the city. Another menace is the
rapid concentration of wealth in the
hands of small class.
The present war has brought to
the front another great crisis which
sooner or later will have to be decid-
ed one way or another-the neutral
ization of the seas. The rapid spread
of paganism and materialism
throughout our land is another men
ace. Materialism is that social con-
dition in which men and women have
been degraded to the status of ami
mails and machines by which others
gain private benefits-when a dollar
is worth more than man and a man
exists merely for the industrial sys-
TENS. In such land, the love Of
the beautiful, poetry, and all those
finer qualities, die out. All this
makes up that unfinished work"
which Lincoln meant How shall
we meet it. I am sure we will meet
it in the way that Lincoln recon-
mended that we meet it-"from the
honored dead we take increased de-
votion." God grant that we, your
sons, shall have the grace, the cour-
age and the love so to meet our foes
in this time that we, too, shall be
able with Lincoln to say that these
honored dead shall not have died in
vain.
The service was very appropriate
ly concluded with the singing of the
Star Spangled Banner.

ton, we have something of the
meaning of vicarious suffering.
Somehow something of the meaning
of it is seen through the pages wet
with the tears of millions and sweet
with the breath of fragrant prayers.
We have something of an idea of
Jesus Christ, who for our sit1s, bore
his cross. When we read of compan-
les surprising the famous Light
Bridgade," when we read of the sor-
rows in million homes, when we
have these things before us, we have
the meaning of vicarious suffering.
One generation goes forward be-
cause of tremendous sacrifice of an
other. As the Christians went
through the horrors of the persecu-
ton of the early days their blood
became the seed of the church. This
is Gods plan. Of the great conflict.
Booker T. Washington said, eft

If you seek a monument for the
Union soldier-look about you! The
Union has been preserved to be a
pillar Of fire which shall pilot the
world on to glory. We should not
be sectional Victors can afford to
be large of heart-to be magnani-
nous. We need men today who will
live for their country as we then
needed men to die for their country.
The Christian armor is the greatest
that men can put on today. Ameri-
cans should not boast of their ac-
compIishments if they would be true
citizens.
This memorial season reminds us
that God cannot be eliminated from
human endeavors. "God is in his
heaven, all's right with the world"
Blessed is that nation whose God is
the Lord. Ridpath has fittingly
summed up in few words the de-
sire of the truly patriotic heart,
Peace to the memory of the faith
ers: green be the graves where sleep
the warriors, patriots, seers; calm
be the resting place of all the brave
and the true. Gentle be the rains
where armies have met in battle;
forgotten be the animosities and
heartburnings of the strife; sacred
be the trust committed to our care,
and bright the visions of the coming
ages"

ing by the congregation of Onward

Replies to Letter.

A we'll known citizen of this city
an old soldier, recently received a
letter from the pure Food L.
House." a whiskey concern in Chi
cago, soliciting his order for their
goods. In reply the local man wrote
as follows:
st received your letter soliciting
my patronage of what you call pure
food drinks. l beg to be excused for
reasons wish to give you. First, my
father was a patron of your wares
and he died leaving a large family
penniless. An uncle died in delirum
tremens at % years Of age. Also a
brother-in-law, leaving my sister
with large family to support as
best she could; and then another
brother-in-law died in delirum trem-
ems after spending fortune for your
wares. Then 1 had three cousins
meet untimely deaths on their way
home after stocking up with your
wares. All of them left families to
make their own way in the world as
best they could. Then outside of my
immediate relatives, have seen SO
much poverty, shame and sorrow.
You tell me whiskey is becoming
scarcer every day. Thank God for
that; and you say the more dry ter
ritory, the more whiskey Is being
sold. Then why do you put up such
a fight against prohibition? You al
so tell me you know what you are
doing. I am afraid you do not, and
will find out when it is too late, for
there Is a terrible woe pronounced
against the man who putteth the
bottle to his neighbours lips. / am
glad to know you don't care to
hound me with a lot of letters and
sincerely hope this will be the last
one. In closing, wish to remind
you that your business is doomed
"The handwriting is on the wall
and soon we shall be rid Of your &C.
cursed business, and decent people
no longer insulted with your solici.
tations."
