TRENCH TALES

London, June 15.-"No there's
very little bayonet work done by the
Boches." said a Scotch sergeant dis
cussing German methods Of fighting.
IN tell you a queer thing that hap
pened to a chap in my lot. Some
wounded got left in village we got
into. We weren't meant to take 1t
hut these chaps we're eager and went
on too far. Some OF US went up to
bring the wounded back on stretch
ers. When we we're Just outside the
village, the Germans put over bar
rage-something, terrific 1t was,
and we ran back to trench. This
chap I'm talking about Jumped down
into It without looking out, and the
first thing he knew was that some
thing had shot through his leg and
he saw the point OF bayonet stick
ing out OF his thigh. The trench
was full OF our reserves and he had
Jumped down onto mans bayonet.
All the chap that owned the bayonet
said was A blighty one for you,
mate. I've see him since and he said
the doctor at the clearing station told
him II was only the second bayonet
wound he'd seen during the war"

PROHIBITION WINS

The editor Of this paper has been
the recipient of q few caustic criti-
cisms because Of his having referred
editorially to the need Of national
prohibitions during the war.
We beg leave to call the attention
Of the few who have been indulging
In such pastime to the statement
made by Congressman Sheppard.
leader of the dry forces in congress.
that the constant editorial lombard
ment on the part Of the newspapers
of the country favoring war prohibi-
tion has been the cause Of that
change of sentiment among members
of congress which will bring about
. dry nation.
There are two great benefits which
WIN accrue to the American people as
q result of this war. One will be
the certainty, or strong probability,
Of lasting peace.-doing away with
the necessity Of war preparation;
and the second will be the forced
economic and social changes. due to
war. and war preparation by our
people. In this second category the
most valuable change that seems
probable will be national prohibi
tion.
II is coming as sure as the sur
rises on the morrow, and will ushel
IN a new era for the 100, 900, ,00t
people Of this great nation.

of the movement. Mrs. John Bruce
Dodd OF Spokane.
The woman who seven years ago
attracted nationwide attention by
suggesting the annual observance Of
a day set apart in memory of our
fathers, now urges the doing OF one
kindly act on June II this year in
commemoration of Fathers day. In
this connection, Mrs. Dodd suggests
that each person choose for himself
the nature of the kindly deed. bear
ing in mind the thought that the
deed be something which would meet
with fathers approval. Mrs. Dodd
herself finds in the Red Cross work
an inspiration for her own good
deeds.
The third Sunday in June was Sc
lected as Fathers day when the
movement began in 1910. In Spo-
kane red roses are worn on that oc-
casion II the father be living-white
roses II he is dead. Special sermons
are delivered in the churches, min
listers taking as favorite subject the
example OF the father in the parable
OF the prodigal son. Last year the
day was celebrated by the chorus oi

fair grounds.

other gear to such an extent that
when they crash to the ground very
little wreckage can be seen.

In 1897 Capt. Cumming had won
derful conversion and soon after unit
ed with the Methodist Episcopal
church at Rosedale. Mo. Afterwards
he moved to the Methodist church at
Altoona, Mo-, and coming to Hume,
Mo, he became member Of the M.
Z. church and continued steadfastiy
in this fellowship. His father was
an exceptionally educated man.
While he never followed the minis
try as a profession he gave much
time to the work of Methodist To-
cal preacher. an office held in high
honor in an earlier day. His son.
was OF fine intellect and had won
derful memory. which he retained
through his failing years. His early
life was devoted to educational work.
In his life among us he was quiet,
unassuming citizen, whom, perhaps,
we did not appreciate at his true
worth. And now that he is gone
from rs, we shall miss him, and can
only say, Farewell, till we meet
again." X

the men opposed TO registration
would not resort to force anywhere,
but they took every precaution.
Every man in the field had strict
orders to arrest offenders promptly
and hale them before federal commits
sioners. The success of their plans
of the work of the men in the field
in the splendid order that prevailed
generally surpassed even the expecta-
tons OF government officials.
The reports showed that the regis
tration passed without even such ex-
citing disturbances as mark general
political election.

bureau as to the number Of men
