Weather Has Made History.

All through history. from classic
times down to the present. the inter
vention of the weather has turned the
tide of wars. No wonder that COM
manders. kings and nations used to
pray for favorable weather when their
fortunes were at stake. There was
time, both in pagan days and later
under the Christian cycle, that no
army went into battle without offering
devout supplications for fair day or
a foul, as best suited their aims.

GREEN COUNTY CHEESE DAY.

To prove that Cheese is king" in
Greene county, anyhow, big cele-
bration will again be staged at the
county seat, Monroe, on October 9.
Some Of the things promised are six
bands, free cheese sandwiches and cot
fee, street parade with masquerade
features and big dance at night.
Monroe keeps open house on the date
mentioned and wants everybody there.
Last year ton of choice cheese and
500 lOaves of bread were dispensed
with royal largess. If you like cheese
be at Monroe October 9.
It may be said in conclusion that
the descendants of the sturdy Swiss
pioneers who settled Green county have
developed cheese industry in an area
of "A miles square that is said to be
not exceeded any place in the world
Wisconsin leads on dairy products and
Green county probably leads Wiscon-
sin.

WRITES FROM FRANCE.
VERNON JUDD NOW STATIONED
WITH AMERICAN ENGINEERS
BACK OF THE LINES.

Mrs. Will MOrkin of Bloomington
furnishes The Herald an interesting
lette from Vernon C. Judd, we'll
known Lancaster boy. Vernon says:
Somewhere in France, Aug O.
Dearest Mother: Received two of
your letters and a card today That
is the first mail to reach us from the
States, and you ought to have heard
the cheering when the fellows got the
news that there was mail in camp.
You see that makes over a month, as
we left Oakmont the 9Th of July The
country here is seemingly very
pleasant place, or at least might be.
The buildings are practically all old
and the country itself has never been
developed. The people of the farms
are just the same old-fashioned look
ing people we used to have pictured in
our old geography. We certainly have
lots OF fun trying to make people un-
derstand what we want and when we
want It, In reference to the question
you so earnestly want answered,
about whether I need anything or not,
| think | can honestly say that there
are many things | would like to have,
but not a necessity; in fact more of
don't get any delicacies, but just plain,
solid food, so when we get back there
is going to be an awful run on knick-
knacks. Our regiment is now Fiji
teenth Engineers instead of Fifth. In
formation is not forthgoing and there
are consequently not many interesting
things to write on, but even if you
don't get letters often don't think any
thing has happened, because I can as
sure you we are perfectly safe until we
leave this place.
We certainly have miserable wealth
er here. About every ten minutes a
rain blows up with little shower;
in the meantime the sun shines about
as hot as it could any time in the sum
mer. So in the daytime we jump into
our raincOats for a few minutes, then
out in shirtsleeves.
. The country around us is a good
deal like the Dakotas, and towns can
be seen for good many miles in the
distance. Our company organization
is the same as when we were in the
States, so by now the fellows are ali
pretty well acquainted. They have
shifted officers on us a few times,
though, but we may profit by it in the
near future. L am still corporal Of
the squad, and if / fall down on it it
will + Sc there is a better man
for You would be surprised
at thu Oh of good fellows in the
company, all the way through. Of
course, they are American-born and
occasionally a disagreement arises,
but it never amounts TO a great deal
l received another letter from you
tonight. You haven't had time to get
the letters I sent from England but
they will arrive in due time, so | will
try and get this one started as soon
as possible. Your loving son,
Vernon G. Judd.

The most ridiculous argument in the
world is that if dogmatic religion is
not true there is no reason for moral
ity. The man who believes that is a
rogue at heart, and will do vicious
things he believes he can cover up;
he is not actually safe or respectable.
A man should be as we'll behaved in
private as in public, and every decent
man is-for pure selfshness, if for no
other reason.

Ed Howe remarks: "A young man is
better than I am; but there will never
come time, as there has never been
time, when old age did not know
more of the serious lessons of life
than the young. Heaven knows I in

no more than this: If l have travelled
road many times I know it better
than my son, to whom the road is
new"
