Sustaining French Moral

Plans to extend America Red
Cross relief to the all-nee,ly fam
lies Of French soldiers have been
perfected, in cooperation with the
commanding generals of boil: tn.
the American and Frech armies. A
double purpose is involved-the re-
Ilevlng OF want and the care OF
the sick for humanity s sake; anu
the preservation and strengthening
OF the morale of the French people
and the French army. Anything
that tends to preserve the moral"
of the Ally on whose territory Am
erlcan forces are to do their an
nual fighting will be of vital i'm.
portance to our soldiers. inasnl1ch
as it will shorten the war and,
therefore lessen the possible casu-
allties to be- suffered by our boys
in khaki.
In general way, the plan en-
braces such measures of relief as
will bring assurance to every
French soldier. wintering in the rc
lief through human agency. Every
needy family is to be- suppl
ed with awr clothing and
fuel. as we'll as food to sustain the
body. Special attention will be-
given to- the care of children anu
of the sick.

Service 10 Food Administration

The United States Food Admin
lstratlon has asked the libraries of
the United States to cooperate in
placing before the people intellia.
ent reasons for. and methods OF
food conservation.
The Food Administration move
ment fills the minds of all TODAY
our allies must have more food than
they can raise and We must send
them more than We can readily
spare. To do this requires a few
definite changes in our daily hab.
it's, and they can easily be made.
We can accomplish the change by
cooperation and it must begin in
the home. We must reduce our
own consumption.
Remember those boys in France
are your boys. DO you bit in saw
ing food and they will get their
bite"
We parade and wave the Flag
we come through gloriously with
the Liberty Loan, and we contri
buted gladly to the Red Cross and
to the funds of all kinds for the
soldiers.
Can it be that all shoulders will
not come promptly to the wheel
when we are asked to change our
eating habits for a while. We
have on file in our library recipes
which ought to be in the hands o:
every housekeeper in Wahpeton
Numerous pamphlets are at hand
such as-Department of Household
Science, War Bread Recipes, Tea
Lessons in Food Conservation
Some of the recipes for corn meal
griddle cakes, corn meal mullins
Indian pudding, oatmeal mullins
and rice yeast bread, just makes
one hungry.
Apart from the patriotism in.
velved in joining this national
movement of conserving food.
you must not forget the excellent
argument that the universal reg
ulation of food supplies and prices
instituted, under the food admins.
tration will inevitably keep the
present price from climbing high.
er and may reduce to normal the
swollen prices of the common nee
easities of life which are now
burdening the community.
You will find that the Wahpeton
Public Library can give, a great
deal of assistance in solving your
problem of food economy. The
librarian will gladly give you all
the needed assistance in finding
the material for your household
problems.

IN CAMP AND FIELD
Continued from previous page.)

changed quarters. We are now TWEEN
ty miles from Camp Macarthur and
will be here about ten days.
Our work here is fixing up the ar
tillery range. We are making roads
building bridges and culverts. When
we go back another company takes
our place. There are about 258 men
in my company and bunch of good
fellows. We are the only company
here now. We hiked out here with
pack and rifles. 1t was tough, but we
got here with only three men falling
out. We will march back by night; it
makes it cooler, so makes it better
for the men.
Seven lads and myself were out
walking over the range this morning
and came across a fine family of
southern folks. We stopped to ask
for a drink. The lady invited us in
and told us she would treat us to
some buttermilk. Maybe you think
it didn't seem good to sit down to a
table and drink real buttermilk.
When we we're about to leave the lady
asked us if we would kneel in prayer
with her which we all did. It remind
ed me of the time when father and
mother were with all of us at home.
This afternoon I am going over yon-
der hill, as they say here, and watch
some brOncho busting.
It seems lonesome out here, just
our company, but guess We can stand
it for a week, and then the next COM
pany can try their luck.
We get our mail once a day, so |
viii get your letters o. K.
We had some dinner, twenty-six' tur-
keys. The boys went out yesterday
and took all turkeys in sight. They
rounded them up the same as you
would bunch Of Texas steers.
The sun is beating down good and
warm, but tonight it will be chilly.
l will have to close as the bunch is
ready to go over the hill. Will write
more when I get back to Camp Mac
Arthur. Your loving brother,
HERB.

at $50, "call to quarters" at 1915
and taps at 1920. Then-nothing to
do until tomorrow.
At present we are drilling with the
3-inch field pieces, but will be given
the French 75's as soon as we get
across.
We expect four thousand drafted
men to fill vacancies in the companies
now in camp. After this addition, the
SD division will be filled UP to war
strength.
We have been named "The Iron
Jaw" division, and expect to follow
the Rainbow" division to France.
don't know when we will go to
join the rest of our "allies," but the
sooner we go the better it will suit
me. I figure the sooner we get over
to France, the sooner we will get back
to dear old Wisconsin and the loved
ones at home.
Well, Mr.. Axen, I will close this

! While living there Wood assisted in
constructing the first house in Madi-
son, later occupied by Eben Peck and
family, early residents Of Baraboo,
Her Father
Abe Wood was probably from Ken
lucky and came to Madison and Port
age about 1886 At Portage he opened
drinking place near the river just
about the time work was begun on the
canal There he killed an Indian,
White Pawnee or Pawnee Blanc, a.
the fellow tried to obtain some IiQuor
by force. His skull was crushed by
club. Wood was acquitted and soon
after moved to Baraboo, 1889 or 1910,
The Mother
Mrs. Wood was partly white. In
that early day the races were much
mixed, French and Winnebago espe-
cially, and in some degree, English
and Winnebago also. All the De-
Kaury's were descended from a half
breed. The original DeKaury was
fur trader on Doty's Island, located
at Neenah, and married the daughter
of the chief of the nation at that place.
He left a large progeny, when, sum-
mOned to defend New France he went
to the lower colonies and was mortal
fy wounded at Quebec on April %,
1860. He died Of his wounds at Mon
treaI soon after.
Now Mrs Wood was the daughter
of one of the numerous DeKaurys,
partly white, and quite likely her
mother was a half breed. The degree
of relationship cannot definitely be de-
termined
In this case there was probably no
ceremony. That was the custom then
1t is recorded that after Wood and
his wife came to Baraboo they were
legally married by Ehen Peck, a just
ice of the peace.

Wood was attracted to Baraboo by
the water power Wallace Rowen, his
friend, moved here from Poynette soon
after. Together they built the first

Hot and Cold at Waco

Mr. and Mrs. David Sansugn have
received letter from their son John
He says in part:
Dear Folks at Home:
suppose you think had forgotten
you, but you know we are awfully busy
just at present. We are back again
to civilization. l didn't get half as
tired coming in as 1 did going out.
They gave us a change to wash our
feet, so that helped considerably.
The drafted boys from Michigan
training camp are arriving every day.
They came down in swell coaches.
They also have all their winter
clothes. Maybe they have had it fine
up north but they will get it now.
We were taken over to the infirm-
airy yesterday and given another vac
cination. The doctor scratched the
boys arms about twenty times. When
I saw that l tried to make them be-
lieve l had had smallpox. Nothing
doing, but it didn't hurt any. l don't
think it will work anyway.
Can you beat it? The Michigan
and Wisconsin troops here have sub
scribed over one million dollars worth
of liberty bonds. l took $50, but I
wish l had taken $3.50. If I was sure
we were going to stay in the service,
one year I would have taken out more.
Our old Captain Swinson leaves
for France soon. He is going over
there to be trained in methods of real
warfare. Stub Stewart, our old first
lieutenant, is adjutant now. That is
a step higher than captain.
After we got back from the artil-
lery range Frank and I went over to
see the boys. We found Stubs tent
and he invited us in. The way he
acted you would have thought our
company had been split up for a
month.
- But say, I am glad I didn't stay in
the infantry. My how they do work
those poor boys! Of course the engi-
neers get some infantry drill, but not
to a very large extent. And besides
we are far ahead of them in that re-
spent so it will be much easier for us.
The Cotton Palace exposition opens
here November 3. 1t is a miniature
worlds fair The report is that the
whole 32nd division will go on parade
that day. 1t will only take two and
One-half hours for the whole thing.
My, this is the worst country to
catch cold I had an awful hard one
all week, but I am about over it now.
T ~ OH 1If X
o'clock and it was warm; | should
Judge about so. By o'clock the wind
came up from the north, and we shiv-
cred in our hunks.
But no more shivering. We get
our winter outfits November Is. Then
we have a small stove for each tent.
Besides that we have been given lum-
Der enough to build wooden floors and
wooden sidewalks.
If all the nights were like tonight
we wouldn't need them. l am sitting
here in the Y-just a frame building
you know / have my shirt all unbut-
toned and still sweating. Of course
it isn't sweltering, or anything like
that. l suppose tomorrow it will be
cold again.
While out on the artillery range
saw little of farm life. 1T has been
so dry down here that the corn just
turned black The farmers didn't get
enough to pay for the seed. But the
bulk of the land is in cotton. Cotton
picking is mostly over now. But then
/ saw severalcrew of coons picking
cotton.
