BECOMES HERO;
Pebbles PAPERS
FOR HIS LIVING

EDINBURGH. Scotland, Oct. a.
Private George Wilson, Of the High
land Light Infantry, who won the Vic
toria Cross for great gallantry on Sep.
TENDER II, 1914. is now selling news
papers on the streets here with the
much coveted decoration pinned to his
vest
He has a pension Of $500 week.
which includes 81 week for winning
the "v. c." but Wilson said today this
is not enough to live on. He, there
fore, has resumed selling papers, his
occupation before joining the colors.
1.-THE army has taken the best out OF
me-" he said. "'Since being gassed
and wounded at Loos am not SO ut
for work az I used to be.
The official gazette described VIII
sons deed Of valor which brought him
his decoration as follows:
For most conspicuous gallantry on
September IA near Vernuil in attack
ing a hostile machine gun, accompan-
fed by only one man. When the latter
was killed he went on alone. and shot
the officer and six men working the
gun, which he captured"

BRITISH TRICK
FOOLS GERMANS
IN THE RUINS

LONDON, Oct. 14.-How he out.
witted two German snipers and made
them prisoners on his twenty-fourth
birthday was told here today by Phi
vate T. Gallaher, in letter to a friend.
He says:
"For three days in succession our
trench had been the object OF the
unwelcome attentions Of snipers.
shots all seemed to come from the
ruins OF . building about 200 yards
away. Several shells and bombs had
been dropped all around. but stu
the snipers continued.
Zone evening, under the protection
Of darkness. / volunteered to fetch q
bucket of water from well that nad
been located by our airmen, and which
lay about a hundred yards farther on
than the spot supposed to be occupied
by the snipers.
II took OF my tunic. rolled up what
was left Of my shirt sleeves, and on !
went as quietly as ghost. l had to
go a roundabout way to avoid the snip
ers.
II got to the we'll all right. filled the
bucket to the brim. and then made foI
the rear OF the snipers. The jingl1ng
noise made by the handle OF the buck
ct, however, betrayed me. and was
quickly challenged by two OF the
enemy, who covered me with their
rides.
II mumbled something in reply. and
this must have saved the situation
For the moment the Germans took me
for one Of their own men. and, instead
of firing point blank, they begged OF me
to give them a drink, at the same
time laying down their rides.
'One OF them had good swig. and
then held the bucket to the lips OF the
other While they were thus occupied
I whipped out my revolver and pre-
scented It full at them. They were
too astonished for words, and down
went the bucket and up went the1I
hands.

To the Editor Of the Palladium
see In your columns the school board
has expressed their wishes to cut
down the expense Of educating our
children and make them walk two
miles to school. This means little six
and seven-year.old children walking
walking through the dust or rain and
mud for eight months or no education.
They have already cut the teachers
holiday wages out. Do they stop to
think our teachers have to make
twelve months living in eight? They
already pay our hack drivers SO little
there is not living In 1t for family.
What 10 q man to do when his team
Is worn out? It means one team every
six years given to the township for
every hack run at the present wages.
So why not ask our legislation to set
the price to justify hack driver and
not one that is always late at night.
Such hack drivers are often hired to
satisfy the whims Of two or three.
II you can't give us hack driver,
give US the little brick schoolhouse
by the roadside.

eanizatiou, the appointment of efficient
fire Wardcns who have put out fires at
less expense, and have kept careful
watch of the bills incurred. 1t is also
due to the system of fire lookout sta
tions and patrols which has been os-
tablished in the past few years, it being
the policy of the department to spend an
ounce for prevention rather than II
pound for cure. Assistance in this work
has been received from the federal gov
crnment Of consideration of the state
spending from it's forestry appropriation
about 5000 Il year.
II the reduced damage through fires is
ADDED to the amount saved in fire lis'It-
ing it leaves little doubt rs to tu,
relative value OF fire prevention and fire
fishtns.
The plans for the coming year involve
the employment Of about seven look-
out watchmcn ON the prominent NOUN
tans of the state and seven patrolmcu
in other dangerous localities, This ays.
TEN has now been in use So long that
