In LacIede, No., Where He Was
Born, Every One Who Ever Met
Him Has a Good Word For
Him-He Became a Soldier by
Chance.

In Linn county. Mo-, where he was
born, John Joseph Pershing is revered
clear up to the limit. He is the apple
of the eye of the countryside. Resi-
dents of Laclede, Pershings home
town, Jingle and glow at the mention
of his name-yea, they initiate.
Those who knew him as a boy bask
In the reflection of his distinction. To
have known Pershing-to have gone to
school with him-is enough.
Life forever after is colored with ro-
nance, adventure fame. Laclede has
500 population. No one from Laclede
or the whole of Linn county, so far as
is now recalled, ever did anything spec
tacular excepting John Pershing. But
he did enough. There is more good,
healthy pride concentrated in Linn
county than in any other given area of
similar size on the earth's surface. The
kaiser stands no higher In Wilhelm
