German Airmen Make Effort to De-

Damage Done.

Damage Done.
London.-Taking advantage Of fine
weather, German airships have made
three recent visits to England. The
last visit was made by a German aero
plane, which flew over the county Of
Kent. dropping bombs. In all. four
missiles we're dropped-in the vicinity
Of the towns Of Faversham and Sitting
bourne, the latter Just across the Bugle
from the Isle Of sheppey, which is the
birthplace Of the British royal naval
flying corps.
All Of the bombs fell in fields.
From Sittingbourne the aeroplane
flew over the Isle of sheppey and It is
thought probable the raider mistook
the towns attacked for Sherness, the
British naval base. which is on the
other side Of the island. On his way
tie afT1nan passed over Canterbury
and other towns In Kent, but did not
loose any explosives upon or near
them.
Zeppelins, It is believed, also visited
East Anglia and dropped some % in
cendiary and explosive bombs on Lo-
westoft, southweld, Maldon Burnham-
on-the-Croueh, Heybridge and Tilling-
ham, but, like previous raids, only ma
terial damage was done, although
many persons had narrow escapes. In
Lowestoft a bomb dropped in a gar
den, shattered a row Of small houses
and people sleeping in them were cut
by broken glass.

In addition to securing a permit of

that when the war is over thousands

gagged in the sporth with them i'm their

beyond question the rendezvous for
the worlds wealthiest and most ardent

Therefore. it behooves not only Ok

duty to produce the thing that is most
beneficial to him and his family and

TO CALIFORNIA; FAIRS
Take the Superb No-Extra Fare Pacific
Limited
Through Weekly Tourist Car Service

Your enjoyment on your trip to Cali
fornia this summer will be much greater
if your train affords you every con-
venience and comfort enroute.
The ideal train to California is ''The
Pacific Limited" of the Chicago, Mil.
waukee & st. Paul Railway. This
famous train Of double destination
goes direct and through without change
of cars to both San Francisco and
Los Angeles.
It arrives at both California termini
in the morning. This is much apprec
lated advantage, for with hotels likely
to be crowded, it is desirable to have
all day for getting located.
Every Tuesday through tourist
sleeping car to Los Angeles is operated
from this town connecting at Marion
with 'The Pacific Limited" providing
service also to Denver, San Francisco,
Portland and points intermediate.
The fares are so unusually low this
year that you will surely want to take
full advantage of them. BY adding a
little to the direct round trip cost you
can see the wonderful Pacific North
Coast and return through the vast
mountain wonderland pierced by the
"Milwaukee's' picturesque Trail OF
The Olympian. This route affords you
a greater extent of beautiful and varied
scenery viewed from the train than any
other road on the continent.
For information about fares, time of
trains, sleeping car reservations and for
descriptive western literature, apply to
local agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul Railway.

In districts where field roots, such

operator to save considerable time, as

Bathing Under Difficulty.
The matter of baths was difficult.
Often In the evening we would pad
die out to a bar in the middle Of the
stream, build smudge of drift, and
take hurried plunge in the icy Ia
mana waters. We would be nearly eat
en- alive by the persistent little bugs"
before we could get back into our
clothes and to camp. One mans meth
cd OF taking bath was ingenious. He
would drag the camp washtub, filled
with hot water, into the Office tent,
carefully kill OF all the insects inside,
and take his bath with the utmost
luxury.
We were fortunate in not having to
depend upon pack trains for our trans
portation. All our work being near
the river, we were able to do our NOV
ing with boats.
In the actual field work we made
great progress, unless in heavy spruce
timber, where our speed depended up
on the axmen. In the swamps-and
there was swamp wherever there was
no spruce-we were forced to wade
for miles in water to our waists or
higher. There were occasions. too,
when a series Of streams and lakes
had to be crossed by swimming and
by RATS. In this swamp work we were
able to practice that beautiful athletic
and modern dance. the 'niggerhead
tango" Niggerheads are tufts of
coarse grass that grow in several feet
OF muck. When traversing a niger
head swamp one must step quickly
from niggerhead to niggerhead or else
drop between. and as they are very
unstable a peculiar step is evolved.
