TELLS Of EXPERIENCES
ON THE FRENCH FRONT
Lieut.. Kane, Washingtonian, Writes
= of Thrilling Events Crossing
the Atlantic.

Writing to a friend in this city.
Lieut.. Howard L. Kane, Medical Re
serve Corps, United states Army. de-
scribes his experiences on the french
front as one of the first members OF
the Medical Reserve Corps of the
army to go into active service abroad.
Lieut. Kane arrived at a French ad-
vance station early in the spring with
the other Washingtonians, Zinkham
and Marbury. The writer Is a mem
Der of the optimist Club in Washing
ton.
After describing his experiences in
crossing on the Mongolia. in which he
narrowly escaped death in the tragedy
which cost the lives of two nurses,
Lieut. Kane writes that he was at
tached to the British Royal Army
Medical Corps. and for brief period
was shown the ropes at base hos
pitfalls about three or four miles back
of the linz.
Shortly afterward he was moved up
to the field dressing stations immedi-
ately in the rear of the trenches, where
he was serving at the time OF the writ
ing of his letter.
After expressing the keenest inter
est in the work, Lieut.. Kane proves
himself a worthy member of the Opti-
mists' Club by the following bit of de-
scription:
AT this station 1 am perhaps a mile
and a half from the front-line trenches.
We've had quite a lively morning, as
Fritz has been Smelling village about
400 yards back of US.
The wind is just right. so that We
hear first the bang of his gun then the
whistle of the shell and finally the
'crump' as the she'll strikes and bursts
Then the guns all around us answer
him. All We can hear then is the ter
rife bang and the whizz of the shell
as it takes its ''andful of ate to the
boche. Its really good sport guessing
as to the size and type of the gun, and
particularly whether the she'll is coming
or going. The sounds change according
to the state of the weather and the di-
rection of the wind. and I'm not very
proficient yet. However. being an opti-
mist. I must remember that the shells
one hears won't hit him, and il one
does hit him he won't hear it coming. SO
why worry"

OUR FOOD SUPPLY
PLENTY OF TURkEYS.-CATTLE
SAVED.-MoRE SUGAR.

Oskaloosa homes need not be with
out turkeys on Thanksgiving Day.
Plentiful supplies of turkeys are avail
able for the Thanksgiving market. &C
cording to information said to be in
possession of the United States Food
Administration, if the large stock of
turkeys now in cold storage is placed
on SALE The Food Administration
will require that this poultry be rapid
ly placed on sale under the provisions
of the food control act. With larger
volume of the product going on the
market for sale consumers may soon
look for an abundant supply at lower
prices.

Enough cars have been requisitioned
through the efforts of the United States
Food Administration on car service to
bring 100000 head of cattle out of
the drought-stricken districts of Texas
and southern New Mexico and place
them in territory where there is ample
pasturage and water to sustain them
properly.
To handle this situation 1926 cars
have already been requisitioned. The
southern section of New Mexico will
be taken care of by the Santa Fe
Railway.

beans or dried peas shall be canned
without a special permit from the Food
Administration, and it is now illegal

ducts without special permit.

of the United States all the sugar
purchased here for its government at
