the most important thing in building
these trenches and our officers are do
ing their best to improve on foreign
methods in this respect owing to the
army deaths which have occurred in
the allied armies due to the fact that
the soldiers had to sleep in water
The sample which has been built here
has been through several hard rains
and yet no water has remained in it
The protecting trench has wall OF
sand bags in front of it with port
holes to fire through. These port
holes are made by inserting half posts
laid on edge and pointing outward at
right angles. Steps are built so that
the men can get out and in easily.
The main firing trench has not been
built yet but it will be at the military
crest or the top Of the hill. It is
built just the same as the protecting
trench, only it is of course longer.
Toilets are provided at frequent inter-
walls and are sanitary in every respect.
There are good many tricky
things in this sort of game and nat
urally that sort of thing presents it
self in the trench as we'll as in other
departments. Heavy gates which
swing towards the entrance of the
trench keep the enemy from coming
in if they get start and while they
are trying to open these the machine
guns can play upon them.
A body of soldiers marching along
can not tell where trenches are locat-
ed as they are screened by leaves,
grass and painted hides.
It has been very cold here for the
past few days and as we only have
two blankets each we nearly freeze
every night, but we think we are soon
to leave for a warmer climate, so
to stand it.
Hoping our mail man will be loaded
down with letters from Perry friends
in the next few days, l remain as ever,

Mrs. r. E. Gilmore of Ames will
join her husband, who has returned
home from Camp Mills, Long Island,
having received honorable discharge
from his regiment of the national
guards, within a few days to make
this city their future home. The

where Mrs. Gilmore has held pO-
sition for some time, were hostesses
at the home of Mrs. Mary Penfield
Thursday evening in her honor,
showering her with aluminium cook
ing utensils. Mr.. and Mrs. Gilmore
will be warmly welcomed into the
social circles of Webster City's
young people.
One of the jolliest events of the
season was the annual talent social
given by the Universalist ladies' aid
Thursday night at the home of
DR.. Effie McCollum Jones. A large
number were present and the stor-
les of the various women as to how
they earned their dollars were in
tensely interesting and many of
them very amusing. After everyone
had told their experiences, a secret
ballot was taken to see who was en-
titled to the prizes for the best story
and most effectively told, and Judge
J. L. Kamrar and Mrs. w. F. May
wald were the favorites and each re-
ceived mammoth doughnut, gaily
decorated, to the envy of every 9TH
er contestant. Mrs. Clyde Mason
and Mrs. w. E. Brown were in
charge of the refreshments and
served delicious doughnuts and cof-
fee. Nearly $40 was added to the
treasury by the evenings festivity,
and everyone present declared it one
of the most delightful events in a
long time.

hostess to thirty-five high school

at her home and assist her in cele-
brating her birthday anniversary,
combining the birthday party with
a farewell to Miss. Dudley.
The hostess-to-be, unaware of the
part she was to play in the even
ing's program, had gone to the NOV
les with girl friend. That her
surprise was complete upon return
ing home there could be no doubt.
After the excitement had subsid ed
the company of guests, which lit
cluded Mrs. Charlotte Kit1ey-France
of Woodstock, spent a merry evening
with games, dancing and a general
social time, and delicious tray
luncheon was served. Miss Dudley
