MAKES TRIP TO
LONE STAR STATE

AS | found many places of interest
in our travel, especially relating to all
kinds of crops and fruit, will just write
few lines.
Mr. Cosbory and Edwin Bealow of
Panhandle, Texas, made business
TRIP back to their former home near
Prairie du Sac. On their return l ac-
companied them. We left Prairie du
Sac on August 6, about 2 p. M, arriv-
ing at Dubuque, Ia, about 10, and
stayed all night The following morn
ing a brother of Mr. Cosbory, C. HI.
Reynolds and Mr.. Walker joined us.
We travelled through Iowa and found
the roads and crops good, corn and
oats the main crops. Farm buildings
are as good as in w sconsin; also saw
some nice apple orchards. Northern
Missouri looked good; wheat seemed
to be the main crop, and very fine.
Had lots of rain, which delayed us
about fourteen hours on our trip.
We jollied along into Kansas City,
stayed all night and one day, took in
the city and sights, and from there we
took the newt auto trail, called the
Santa Fe, about five hundred m les
long. Here. is where jack rabbits
made their appearance and would run
ahead of the car in the light, and oc-
casionally one would run over them.
Corn is poor all through central Kan
sas@nearly dried up from hot winds
and the want of rain. I'll leave it to
Mr.. Reynolds and Mr.. Walker the way
our hats speeded in the air occasion
ally.
Panhandle, Texas is doing well.
They raise wheat, broom corn, maise
and corn. The farmers are blowing for
winter wheat, and they said the pros

called on Mat Fargen and family.
They were well and nicely located,
and had one hundred acres of maise
nearly ready for harvest. The soil
looked good to me and sells from
$40 to $25 per acre. There is good
water. and the new towns are. built
up well. VIM. BORN

JOURNEY FROM
CAMP DOUGLAS
TO WACO, TEXAS
Members From Sank County Are
Given Receptions Along the
Way---See Balloon Race

Leaving Camp Douglas at 1915,
our first stop was Elfoy, and I can
safely state that the people of that
city will always remain dear to the
hearts Of the Visions n boys. While
there the young ladies' distributed
cake and sice cream along the train.
1t was a treat that will always be
preciated by all. Nextacame Reeds
burg, and here was extended that
welcome that can only exist among
the best of friends and relatives.
Leaving Reedsburg the rumor went
through the train that we would not
stop in Baraboo. This didn't appeal
to the Baraboo boys at all, so Sergeant
Ritzenthaler was appointed to 4plead
with Captain Smith, who was in
charge of the train. I guess you all
this mission. There is no need Of
my mentioning what our reception
here was, for it is a well known fact
that Baraboo is Little in the lead
of the best of them.
At Madison I witnessed the largest
crowd for send-off to the home boys
that ever expect to see. Company
G is certainly fine outfit and | do
not blame Madison for being proud
of them. We stopped there fifty min
utes, and during that time met many
old friends.
We arrived in Chicago at 7:40 and
stayed there for about an hour and
a half I am sure that every man
on the train knows the stock yards
there from A to z, for most of the
hour and half was spent in switch
ing up and down past said yard.
I am sure we all preferred White
City or Riverview, but war isn't car
ried on in that manner. Most of us
were in bed before we left Chicago,
and the next morning brought us into
St. Louis.

:, t',e OLA Is

From Newburg on We had two en-
gines to enable us to get through the
Ozark mountains I cannot tell you
much of these, as we were nearly
through the next morning. Most OF
YOU have some idea of what the
Ableman curve is like. l thought it
was bad myself, but am now con-
WINGED that there are lots worse.
There were times when the engine
nearly came back to meet the last
coach, and it was, no surpr Sc to hear
some Of the fellows taking spill out
of the hunks from the swerve OF the
train.
We had several minor accidents,
among them being three broken draw
bars, and once the train cut in two,
nearly throwing us all through one
end of the coach. That morning we
stopped at Bennington, Okla, for re-
pairs, and while there | slipped duke
a German mark for a twenty-five cent
pie. / can't imagine whether he
thought the Germans had landed or
whether he thought he had been
iipped. but | do know that he didn't
advance near the car again. He must
have considered one chance enough.
SIung Packs
The next stop, | shall never for
get, was Fort Worth, Tex, for at ex-
actly $40 in the morning they came
through our coach and told us to get
ready right away to move. The rear
trucks had broken on the coach we
were then occupying, SO all we could
do was, to awaken ourselves and
move. I won't tell you show we felt,
but just let you imagine. We arrived
in Waco, Tex, about 7:10 the same
morning. and after being in the yards
for about an hour and a half we slung
packs and liked four miles to camp.
We find the city model for its
size, and the people are great. The
weather here is about the same as
we experienced at San Antonio last
wear, SO L guess we Will stand it all
right.
Guard Duty
The Twenty-Fourth colored troGl $
have been guarding down town for
some time, but owing to the number
of race riots that are taking place
throughout the state, we start in to-
night to relieve them. Guard duty
here is far different than at Camp
Tlouglas AZ here we have loaded shells
and our instructions are to. shoot to
kill Quite a few have already found
that war is no kids play, and / think
most of US will be glad when it is
over. Our camp grounds are model
in every respect and all we want now

NO COAL SHORTAGE
PRES. WHITE SAYS PRODUCTION
PURPOSE cURTAlLED.

United States need not fear short
age of coal during the next year, il
the railroads do their part in proyid-
ing cars to transport the fuel, and if
the coal operators give the 10000
miners in the United States the work
that they should give them.
John p. White, International Presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers OF
America, in his speech before the au-
dience assembled at the Masonic The
alter on Saturday afternoon, accused
the coal dealers of spreading the coal
famine scare, and pledge the loyalty
of the miners to the nation through
the great crisis facing America.
The mine workers have accepted the
militaristic spirit thrust upon them for
for time being, and have removed all
|impediments from in front Of the
government in its, execution of the
war. The, miners organization has
purchased $4,000, worth OF Liberty
Loan bonds. Last year the miners OF
America produced thirty-one million
tons of coal more than was needed
by the country, and with added mach
inery and mine equipment can in,
crease this producted two or three
hundred million tons this year.
A false impression has been publish

work the miners needed to support
themselves and family, in many places

The new company has been form

MAY INSURE SOLDIERS
U. S. PLANS $4,000 POLICIES AS
SUBSTITUTE FOR PENSIONS.
Officials Believe Plan Would Be Less
Expensive in the End-Biil In
Congress Soon.

Washington, June 4.-Plans for is
suing $4,000 free government insur-
ance on the life of every American sol
der and sailor during the war in lieu
of pension arrangements will be taken
up this week by the council of nation
al defense. The plan also would pro-
vide insurance for partial or total dis
ability. A report prepared by Assist
ant Secretary Sweet of the commerce
department urges that the insurance
be provided through legislation before
American troops are sent to France.
The defense council took, up the
question some weeks ago and turned
the whole subject over to the depart
ment of commerce for investigation.
The plans prepared provide for u
fiat insurance of $4,000 on the life of
every officer and private in the mill
tary and naval service to be paid to
his beneticiaries without premiums.
A government insurance bureau
would handle the subject and there
would be provision for a system of
desiring to do so could take out
amounts higher than the $4,000 free
policy by paying premiums at peace
rates.
Insurance companies, it is SAID, are
ready to approve the scheme if as
sured the government will not con-
tinue in the insurance business after
the war. War hazards are so. great
that few companies are anxious to
insure soldiers and sailors except at
high premiums, officials have been
told, although many companies who
have on their lists men now in the
military and naval service have not
advanced their premium rates.
At the end of the war the govern
meDt, it IS suggested, could turn over
to insurance companies it's premium
war business, dropping the fiat $4,000
policies on all who leave the service,
but continuing it on men who remain
in the army or navy.
One argument advanced for the in
surancc plan is that it would improve
the morale of the troops, since many
would go into battle much more will
ingly if assured their\ dependents
would be cared for if they were killed.
In case of death the insurance would
be paid in installments whose amount
would be determined by government
board. .,....
