across the seas and to extend the same
service to the armies OF our allies,
a nationwide campaign for funds will
be waged Nov. 11-19. The sum needed
to prosecute this war work to July
1st, 1918, is $35,000,000. The states of
Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi,

HISTORY
s OF .s
Morgan County
From its Formation down to
the present day
-.
Written by H w Summer
Continued from Last Week.

As hereinbefore referred to, East
Tennessee and the people of the
Counties composing that section OF
which Morgan County is one, has
been made to suffer, both during
the war and since that time, at
the haods of politicians whose hat.
red never subsidized for the loyal
mountainers, have to great extent
and by geramandering processes
they have been denied fair and
equal representation in Oar State
Legislature.
A great deal of the feeling that
existed between the people of our
country i'll anti-brIIum days was
dislroyed by this War, AMI as is
we'll known, some of the leading
Christian denominations, instead
of coming out Of the great Conflict
embracing he true Chris'l IN spirit
which knows no difference be-
tween Jew or Gentle, or between
) c,ions of country, ana CON
demns no one for what Lhey'form-
" nave beon, but embraces them or
condemns for what they are, these
l. ,minations divided into North
eru aud Southern divisions, and to
some extent The divisions still eX-
ist. and probably as contributing
cause to this the error sometimes
auyht iu the homes and public
schools based on sectional prejudice
injected into some School histories
of all sections of the country is in
part responsible.
No other military history of
any consequence embracing Nor
gan County or the country was
made after the civil war till the
Spanish American war which for
tunately for our country and peo-
ple was not serious. However our
country held up its reputation for
patriotism by the young men ans
wering the country's call, and al
tho the quota for Morgan coun-
ty according to the total number
REQUIRED for the whole United
States, would not have been more
than so or 6O years, yet during the
period of this war and the Phil
pine insurrection about 200 respon-
dcd. About IS of this number was
enlisted in company made up
under the leadership of Captain
John w Staples, who with his
company was attached to the
Fourth Tenn. Volunteer 1nfty, and
served part of their time on the
Island of Cuba.

Judge Crosby presided in the
 afternoon. The first fifty minutes
 were spent in two minutes re-
 sponses by such staunch old pio- neers as s. N. Adair, of Luna, F. G. Nelson, of Bluewater, c. H.
 Riggs, of Vernon. John T. Edgar,
 now of Snowflake, Jeanette Smith of Snowflake, David K. Udall of
 St. Johns and Joseph Wakefield of Taylor, and Wm. H. Gibbons of St. Johns, and such represen- tative citizens as Pres. Samuel F. Smith of Snowflake, Frank Camp bell of Snowflake, Marinus Chris jensen and Jacob Hamblin of St. Johns and w. w. Pace of Thatch- CT. Many telling bits of history they told. Eulogies of President Udall and the other stake officers and of the committee who had prepared the celebration were made by Elders Grant and Mckay. A benedictiOn on the 30 years of the stakes history and of the eel ebration was pronounced by Pres ident Grant.
 Monday evening the. best con- cert ever given in St. Johns was rendered at the academy. The excellent piano selection by Miss Lettie Anderson with the orches- tra accompaniment was simply superb. The orchestra rendered a most impressive overture and to an encore with an- other, while Mrs. Pauline Ander- son and Gerald Berry gave good readings. Alfred AndersOn's vio- lin selection ranked high, as they always do.
 Tuesday was Pioneer day. The oration of Elder David o. Mckay was a master piece. He told of the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus, the writ ing of the Declaration of Inde- pendence and the rise and com ing west of the Mormons and said they are three greatest world events in America's history.
 The afternoon sports were held $ on the academy grounds as usual, aud there were two good dancing parties in the evening.

Days of Dizziness

Come to Hundreds of St. Johns
 People.
 There are days of dizziness;
 Spells of headache, languor, backache;
 Sometimes rheumatic pains;
 Often bladder disorders.
 Doan's Kidney Pills are especi- ally for kidney ills.
 Endorsed by residents of this vicinity.
 Mrs. c. M. Wood, 1907 E. Fill more St., Phoenix, Ariz., says: ''I was feeling pretty bad on ac- count of the poor, unhealthy con- dition of my kidneys. My back ached nearly every minute of the day and many times dizzy spells bothered me. 1 usually felt lan- guid and had no ambition. Doan's Kidney Pills were recommended so I tried them. Two boxes cured me of every symptom of the trouble and since then an occas- sional dose has kept my kidneys we'll" Price 60c, at all dealers.

REUNION.

The home coming was held, in connection with stake conference
 on Saturday, Sunday, Monday and
 Tuesday as scheduled. President
 Grant and Elder Mckay of the quorum of the twelve were the
 visitors. The former added much to the meetings by his vigorous and enthusiastic sermons and his impressive singing, while the lat ter's splendid speaking, culminat- ing in his oration on Pioneer Day, made an impression on all.
 The Sunday schools of the stake held their convention with a soci- able Saturday evening, an officers meeting at g a. m. Sunday morn ing and Sunday forenoon meet ing of conference. Elder Mckay is one of the foremost Sunday school men of MormondOm and he made telling remarks to the workers. Sunday forenoon his address to the children was extra good.
 The Sunday afternoon meeting was taken up by local speakers and a short appreciative address by our old townsman, John T. Lesueur, and sermons by the vis- ting apostles. Elder McKay's address on "why we are at war and onr duty to our country" was a marked one.
 The young peoples meeting was held on Sunday evening. Elder made masterly appeal to the young men, especial those who go to war, to lead clean lives and President Grants address was on the subject of doing ones best in the world.
 Monday, July 22rd was the eel ebration of the stakes organiza- ton 30 years before. Bishop w. D. Rencher presided. A roll call of the original officers of the stake was responded to by A of the who answered in person and received their pretty badges. Chairman Crosby answered for 16 more who are living. making 40 who survive at the end of 30I years. The four officers who have served the full 30 years are President David K. Udall, his wife, B. L. s. Udall, Edmond Nelson and Mary B. B. Farr. They were presented with leath- CT upholstered chairs and each made responses to the presenta- tion. Judge George H. Crosby Jr. then read a historical sketch of all Arizona's Mormon colonies in general and of the St. Johns Stake and it's wards in'particular. He predicted that St. Johns would some day be one of northern Ari- zona's biggest towns.

 Brass Band Music.

bTdSS RanO MUSIC.
 On all special occasions while you march youghear the best American National airs played by the best brass bands on the Amer ican continent. Remember the music known as "The s 9 r Spangled Banner" is designated our National Anthem of the Unit ed States of America and always whenyo hear it, not in formation, you must stand up at attention facing toward the music (eXcept at colors when so ordered.)
 Other Nations National Anthem
 Saluted, When
 The same marks of respect as stated above as are observed dur ing the playing of the national anthem of the United Sta tes shall be shown toward the national an- them of any other country when played, remember this, upon off, clal occasions.
 Study the French Language.
 Another very important thing for all drafted me n to say and to do is: ''Y' aimerais apprendre le tongue francaise" for you will be sent across the water to carry the stars and stripes into the trenches at France, and you must know something about the French language and the sooner you set your mind to study it the quicker you will learn it, for your own benefit. your country's and your fellOwmen.
 Loyalty.
 Remember that we have been bo Tn to liberty and freedom but nothing worth having is without it's cost. Remember also that there is over one hundred million souls in your country behind you, backed by one of the greatest and most liberal Government insti- tutions the world has ever pro duced. Fall in there, forward, march! Show the Kaiser that you are member of that power ful organization behind you, when we have accomplished that we have done a wonderful and noble act. July 26, 1917.

 Mir. Baca Advocates.
 By D. B. BACA.
 (1Ir. Baca has seen three years service in foreign countries as a soldier in war times, has an excel lent and honorable discharge as a non-commissioned officer and his observations as a soldier are very valuable at present to all our drafted men.)
 have been urgently requested by mothers and young men of our County of Apache to give them and point out an idea of army life, it's duties, general treatment of soldiers, etc. The unexpected task has come to my attention rather suddenly and to a certain extent unprepared to perhaps meet their suggestion clearly, however, 1 am glad to feel that 1 can point out several little things that l would have considered val uable previous to my enlistment in the army, during the Spanish American war in Cuba and the Philipine Islands.
 Duties to be Performed.
 The first duty for any soldier to execute, and that you must never forget, is to first learn to obey orders from all your superior off cers, force and practice that reso- lution and never give it up. Dc not be afraid to become a soldier, a soldiers life properly perform ed is just as honorable as any other good life only more credita- ble, perhaps. Make a constant rule to acquire deeper informa- tion on whatever subject they or der you to undertake and try your best to get ahead of the next man to you. Keep all your army equip ments perfectly clean; dress neat, wear your collar clean even off duty and keep all your shoes properly shined at all times. AL ways make up your bed nicely and keep it clean; your other things well arranged and all your shoes lined up like soldiers" at the designated place, remember, properly shined up, without being told to do so. If you have shoes that are very old shine them much much harder and with special care. The soldier" next to you may not be so particular about his things and military shoes"9 but that i s his business - maybe. Never get the ''blues" because your non-commissioned, less your commissioned officer, never tell you of your cleanliness, it is per- haps the next man to you that they are constantly lectur- ing. In better words never give an officer a chance to speak to you only while on training duty. If ar officers cares to see you while you are off duty never jump up to see him without first taking a close observation as to how you look to appear before him. Have practically the same caution to see a non-commissioned officer. Talk less every 24 hours unless you are called upon and know What youa are going to ospeak about. Never go on the sick report unlel s you are sick.
 Prominence in civil life gets no
 one promotion.
 The fact that your father may be a prominent politician, banker. merchant, bishop, business man of any high standing in civil life in your community, gets no. sol
The St. Johns herald., 1917-07-26

pals financial standing, you study up your regulations.
 Every Soldier Treated Alike.
 Everybody in the army are granted the same treatment. the same chance, and your promotion depends strictly and entirely on your own merits as soldier.
 Never look for special duty jobs.
 Never look for special duty or company clerks job unless you are appointed to one.
 Manners and Courtesies.
 While few are making faces when a private gets promoted to corporal, try and be the first pri- vate to congratulate him upon his appointment and ask him how he did it. When an officer, of your command, is promoted to higher  rank, it is proper to ask him in writing for his photo and send him yours with a congratulatory small note attached, properly and clearly signed by you, with your name, date and title of your rank, it makes no difference what your rank may be, he appreciates com pliment exceedingly. (The last two paragraphs are not inserted in the blue book print, but as a matter of pure courtesy and a very good way of making a good impression if you can substantiate same by acts.
 Officer and Soldier.
 Never think that an officer holds himself better than you be- cause he wears a pretty striped uniform or performs much higher official duties than you. He is like a father would be to you, al ways ready to help you on any point that you do not understand and you may ask him any time to tell you. Respect an officer in civilian clothes just as much as if he was wearing his uniform. You will find an army officer al highly cultured person always, and he can, from his many hard studies. size you up at mere glance, so keep Iyour post intelli- gently at all times, and say but very little.
 Use your promotion right.
 If you are promoted Corporal, please do not loose your head, like in many cases our civilian officers do but make your enemies, if any, like you and make them be ashamed of their acts and help them all alike. Have no preju- dice against a private but make the best use of them. While off duty, sing, dance and play all you can, make other just as jolly as you can. While on duty be as strict to your men as if you was ranking brigadier-general, with nice kind words and high respect for each of those under your care.
 Soldiers Treatment.
 Tell your dear true mother, father, sister, hrotheE or sweet heart, that as a soldier. you are going to be treated nice; that you are going to a place where every body is treated according to their own conduct. If you need medi- cal treatment and go on the sick report, you are promptly attend ed by an army qualified physician and properly taken care of at once. At all times there is plen- ty to eat and wear and nearly as much reading as a person can find at the famous Congressional Library at Washington, D. C., (the greatest library in the U. s. containing ahnnt two million vnl
