THIS HOUSE ON WHEELS
PENNSYLVANIA Has Evolved Plan fYs
Avoiding Gossip and the Boredom
of Undesirable Neiqhbors.

Berwick, Pa.-Charles Woll has de-
cided that he does not want to live in
the same neighbOrhoOd all the time, so
instead of investing his savings in a
house and lot he has had house built
on wheels. The house is one story with
two rooms and is supported by
an iron frame set on three-inch iron
wheels.
Woll, in planning this scheme, says
he will solve many difficult problems.
If he does not like a community, he
can get team or a tractor engine and
pull his home to some desirable spot.
No conditions can be forced on him,
he says. This is the advantage of the
house on wheels. If the neigh
bors' children annoy him, or If the
neighborhood gossip is not pleasant, he
can move on.
Vol declares that the portable
house will fill all his needs. He says
he dislikes living in the same local
ity all the time and that with many va
cant lots to choose from1he can move
as often as he pleaseS.

at Kew. A few of these places are al
ready gay with autumn flowers in full
bloom.
The directorate at Winchester House,
in James square, London, answers
every inquiry sent by soldiers
friends and will, if desired, take a
photograph of grave and send it to
them for nothing, thanks to the funds
provided by the Red Cross. The di-
rector and his officers cooperate with
the French engineers, sanitary authori-
ties and communal councils in making
arrangements to take advantage of the
noble and moving gift made by the
French nation on December %, 1915,
when the law was passed which &C
quired forever, in the name of the
French government, the special Gene
teries where most Of the British dead
In France are buried.
In all wars it has been one of the
fears haunting a soldiers friends that
his body may be utterly lost. Even in
this war there have been such irretriev-
able losses. But in no great war has
so much been done as in this to pre-
vent the addition of that special tor
ment to the pain of anxiety and of be-
reavement.

is CHASED TO A FORTUNE
Western Man, Pursued by RattIesnake,
Found Rich Claim in Arizona
Desert.

Los Angeles.-"Pursued by Snake,
or 100000 to the Good" might
be the title of a thriller enacted
in the Arizona desert, near Wit
tenberg, by Herman Hertz of Los
Angeles, CAL, and a six-fOOt rattle
snake. Hertz was a visitor at the
town, and, while walking about the
neighbOrhood, encountered the snake.
Hertz dashed madly forward in the
general direction of California with
the snake in pursuit. The man proved
to be somewhat Of a sprinter but the
snake was no SLOUGH either. It was
gaining rapidly when something I'M
expectedly happened.
Hertz neared prospector's hole and
his eye told him that he could not
leap the chasm. He stopped abrupt.
ly and turned to await the end. But
the snake was not so cunning. 1t slid
ON and on until it plunged into the
abyss, breaking it's neck in the fall.
The Californian took a deep breath
and looked about him. The opening
in the earth Showed that it had been
deserted for some time. He picked up
some pieces of stone that gave unmis-
taxable evidences of gold. Keep
ing his secret to himself he went
to Wittenberg and bought the property.
Recently he sold his holdings for
100000.

SOLDIERS WHO GIVE UP LIVES IN
BATTLE REST IN HONORED GRAVES
Every Effort Is Being Made in England to Care for the Dead and
to Keep Clear the Records OF Their Places of Buria-Use
Is Made of Recognized Cemeteries Behind the
Lines Wherever Possible.

North of France.-In a graveyard
west of Yimy there are buried 1870
French soldiers and more than 600
English. The earth is bare on most of
the English graves; the French ones
are older, but all are cared for alike
by the Englishmen now in charge of
the place. "We leave you our trenches
and our dead" said French officer to
an English one when the British army
took over, this part of the line, and
both parts of the trust are discharged
with will.
feels when one sees the journey Of
French soldiers friends to their graves.
The other day French woman in deep
mourning came here with handful OF
white flowers to place upon what was
probably her sons grave, when there
entered the cemetery one of the usual
little bareheaded processions-an N.
G. o. showing the way; then an Eng
Gsh chaplain with his open book; then,
on stretcher, the body sewn up in a
brown army blanket, big Union Jack
lying over 1t; then half a dozen pri-
Yates. AS they passed the French wom-
an she rose and fell in at the rear of
the procession. When next saw them
the men were standing round the new
grave, the chaplain was reading aloud
dust to dust and ashes to ashes, "
and the woman, few yards away. was
kneeling on the ground. The service
over and the rest turning away, she
came close to the grave, dropped the
white flowers in and went back to the
other grave empty handed.
For the Moral Effect.
One knew, though the woman could
not, how all this would be told to the
dead Englishmans comrades, and one
felt the truth of Sir Douglas Haig's
saying that a kind of spirit which
docs not directly contribute TO the
successful termination of the war" may
still shave an extraordinary moral
value to the troops in the field, as well
as to the relatives and friends of the
dead at home" But for the work OF
the Army's Graves Registration units
Northern Wisconsin advertiser. [volume] (Wabeno, Wis.) 1898-1925, 1916-12-15

this little scene and many other scenes
equally binding, in their degree, to the
friendship of England and France,
could scarcely have taken place.
In the early months of the war
man was commonly buried close to the
place where he fell. Wherever hard
fighting had been, in France or Bel
GUM, the eye of the traveller along the
roads is struck by many low crosses
sticking out of the ground-in the
fields, in cottage gardens, in corners
of farmyards and orchards, even on
roadside strips of grass. Where the
ground has changed hands several
times in the course of the war you
may SEE, within a, few hundred yards
of each other, the gabled and eaved
cross of the Prussians, with 'Hier ruht
I'm Colt" and a name painted white on
q dark ground, and the beaded wire
wreath of the French, with its requie-
scat or snort pour Ia France" and
the plain-lined cross of the English,
white or light brown or just the I'M
painted wood, "In Loving Memory" of
one or more officers or men. Even now
many of these isolated memorials are
raised. The very position of some OF
them is eloquent.
Near La Boisselle is cross inexpert-
ly made of two pieces of lath and let
tered in pencil, "In loving memory of

ment killed here July 1, 1916" 1t
stands scarcely ten feet in front of the
line from which the British army adj
yanced on that morning. You feel
when you see it the thrill of the first
moments of the long battle of the
Somme-the subaltern giving the word
TO his men. and himself springing first
ont of the trench and falling almost at
once and the men pressing on.
Care of the Dead.
In the autumn of 1914 the necessity
for q continued organization TO under
take the supervision of graves was
recognized. and in March, 1915, the or
ganization of the Commission of Graves
Registration and Inquiries under Mr..
Fabian Ware, who received a commits
sion for the purpose of the work, finally
assumed its present shape.
Under the directorate are the graves
units in the different
snheres of military activity. When an
ofticer or man is killed at the front or
dies of wounds his burial is at once

Man With Nerve.

Douglas, Wyo.-Henry Stephens,
living about fifty miles north of Doug
las. who is now under a doctors care
here, is a good example of man with
nerve. Stephens broke his leg by a
fall while out on the range alone. He
managed to mount his horse and rode
ten miles to a sheepherder's camp be-
fore receiving any help. Then he rode
60 miles to Douglas TO get physician.
He is getting along well and will be al!
right again.
