Dear sister Mabel
Your letter OF Aug. 10th, just arrived
yesterday after chasing me all over
France tntill il finally caught up to me
here. Since last wrote you have
had a tough bit OF luck, rather hard
sam think.
We had strafed Fritz right soundly,
as regards bullets. They were cutting
him in grand style. so TO get even with
US, he came back with whizz-h hangs l3
sharpnel.J lie had the range down
10 a fraction and had registered several
times on our trench, (our position was
in trench
There happened 10 be three of us at
the gun, n. G. o. in charge, my No.2
and myself no. II. * whizz-bang
struck the parapet about two feet dir
ectly in front OF us. Then. C. O. and
the No.2 were instantly XII |. d and |
was severely wounded.
For the moment was stunned but
when picked myself up, my face was
covered with blood, caused by the con-
eussion OF the shell on exploding, a
few slight wounds in my left arm,
large wound in my thigh, and below
the knee, my leg was practilly filled
with sharpnel. Don't you think got
my full share?
However, with the help OF my chum
! managed TO hobble TO the nearest
dressing station, distance of about L..
miles. Believe me, was al in when
got there. Having had my wounds
dressed | was put in van and rushed
OF of the line. BY the time reached
the Clearing station, tsix hours after
was wounded,l gangangrepe had set
in, in the wounds below my knee and
amputation was necessary to save my
life. My leg was taken off at the knee.
Gee Whizz! II was some surprise to me,
when became conscious again, to find
my leg gone. When went under the
anaesthetic thot they only intended TO
probe out the sharpnel.
II will be six week tomorrow since
was wounded and the amputation, and
all the wounds but the one in my thigh
are healed up. Yesterday was my first
day out OF bed. Am up again today in
my wheel chair. Believe me, il is
great to be out OF bed. II seems that
am in the land OF living again. The
loss of leg seems an awful sacrifice
but il might have been worse
Thousands OF boys have sacrificed their
lives in this great struggle and yet il
still goes on. Oh Well! One consola-
ton have, is that am out OF il and
TO tell the truth, am not the least bit
sorry. | might be thankful 10 get out
with my life. Now will close for this
time but will write again soon.
Your loving brother,
Laurence Secord.

A CAPTAIN OF iNpusTRYs START


Charles NJ. Schwab's first real Job
was as a grocery-boy in the store at
Braddock. of A. II. Speigelmire. an old
friend OF Papa Schwab. who also kept
q store. From the first day he donned
his apron he had his eye on the great
steel mills there, the Edgar Thomson
Works. owned by Carnegie Brothers
4 Company. But meanwhile, al
though he disliked the work. he con-
trived to iiven up things at the store.
lie smiled on customers, chatted with
them. jumped at chances to please
them by carrying parcels or doing lit
tie errands. and in the evenings he
made. things hum in the Speigelmire
household by playing the piano. sing
ing for them and teaching the young
sters music. He's willing and bright
and wants to know everything" was
his employers description Of him.
The mathematician was not above
learning how to handle groceries. He
well earned his $50 month (without
board)
One day Captain William r. Jones,
superintendent of the steel works, the
r.ght-hand man Of Andrew Carnegie
and the best.known steel.maker in
the country, stepped into the store.
Il asked Bill for a place in the
MILL" Mr.. Schwab relates. He asked
me: Can you drive stakes?' replied:
Il can drive anything!' started driy'
ing stakes next morning, at dollar
day"
In six years the dollar-a-day stake
driver was superintendent OF the
works, then the foremost steel'mak-
ing plant in America!
They say 1t was your piano-playing
that attracted Carnegie" l probed.
There's no truth in that at ALL, re-
piled Mr.. Schwab with spirit II never
played for Mr.. Carnegie in my life.
]. was Captain BIZ that took me to
Carnegie one day and said: Andy,
here's a young man who knows as
much about this mill as do"
Carnegie. like Captain "Bill," took
TO" the young engineer. SO did the
men. Everybody was happy when
Charley" was around. His enthus'
iasm, his joyousness, his industry
proved Infectious. His ability to over
come difficulties was on everyone's
tongue. He had studied chemistry as
well as engineering, had conducted
;nnumerable experiments to test the
strength and qualities Of the metal
under different processes. and, as Car
pegie later handsomely admitted,
knew more about steel than any other
nan in the world
His next step was TO the head OF
The engineering department of the
whole Carnegie organization. Here
bo taught the industry a new wrinkle.
He conceived and planned greater
pant than any then in existence, the
Homestead Steel works, on the prin-
ciple of feeding the raw material at
one end, keeping it in continuous mo-
lion and having it come out in the
form Of finished products at the other
end-a system since widely adopted
In various Industries and carried to
Its hishes. pitch by Henry Ford in his
automobile factory at Detroit. AT
this time he had some 5000 or 1000
men under him.-Leslie's

PROCESS SERVER STOPS
WEDDING CELEBRATION
Groom Summoned on Charge on Con-
Quoting Unlicensed Drinking
Place,

Celebration Of the wedding of Al
fred Tattey and Agnes M. Peterson
was rudely interrupted on Monday
evening, when the groom was sum
moned from the wedding feast to an
swer a charge of conducting an un-
licensed drinking place. The bride
was game and refused to be separated
from her husband of only few hours
and came up from Hawley with him.
She also stood by when her man was
arraigned before Police Magistrate
Wade, who took pity on them and al
lowed Albert to go on his own recog-
niZance to honeymoon until next
Tuesday.
Mrs. Jackson C. Hoyt, sister of the
groom, and wife of one of the other
defendants, who was called John
Doe" on the complaint, also accom-
panied her husband to the court room.
The Hawley bootlegging and con-
Quoting unlicensed drinking place
cases were brought before Police
Magistrate Wade Monday evening on
a change of venue from the court Of
Justice c. w. Sill, of Hawley. Gilbert
Trump, known also as "Frenchy" was
held in default of 5000 bail for hear
ing on July 10.
Alfred Tatley, Olaf Tatley and
Jackson G .Hoyt, charged with con-
Quoting an unlicensed drinking place,
were released on their own recogni-
Zances until the afternoon of July 10.

HAVE NOT YET LEARNED
THEIR LESSON.

The hoped-for decrease in the
price Of coal will yet be denied the
section OF the country which most
needs it, unless firmer action Is taken
by the United States government.
w. III. Groverman. secretary of the
Northwestern Coal Operators asso-
citation has returned to Minneapolis
from the conference. and smugly an
nounces that the coal dealers have
already contracted for 80 to IS per
cent of their supply for next year.
and that consequently there will be
no reduction to the consumer.
THE government has ruled that no
contracts may be broken" he an
nounced in an interview in Minne-
apolis.
The government has done nothing
of the kind. The government has
ruled that existing contracts may be
allowed to stand. There is nothing
to prevent both parties agreeing to
a cancellation.
Evidently the coal men have not
learned their lesson yet. OF what
value is a mere promise to reduce
prices for next year. The decrease
Is needed this year-at once.
When increases are made in the
mine prices, nothing is heard of
existing contracts. The retail price
jumps as quickly as the telegraph
wires bring the news, and all along
the line the extra gouge is taken at
the consumer.
The coal men are playing with
dynamite. This dashing Of the hopes
of the coal consumer is worse than
If no promise of lower prices had
been made. II the decrease is not
made effective at once, and passed
along to the consumer by the coal
producers in the shape of a rebate on
contract prices for this year, the fed
eral trade commission should con-
tfnue with it's outlined course where
it left off before the agreement.
The consumer doesn't get even a
half loaf. He asked for. bread, and
was given a stone. The government
has the club 1t needs, and it should
not hesitate to use it freely and
vigorously.
We can do our share here in Fargo
to stir the proper authorities. Write
to your senators and North Dakota
congressman. If you haven't time to
write a letter, clip this editorial from
The Forum, write at the bottom of
it There are my views, sign your
name and mail it to Washington. The
saving of anywhere from 100000 to
100000 to the coal consumers Of
Fargo, is certainly worth fighting for.
