We are having nice, cool nights
and warm days. 1t looks as if
nature is doing all it can to make
it pleasant for the people.
We have many things to be
thankful for, good crops, good
prices, good schools, good health;
but there is many homes made
sorrowful by giving up sons; hus-
bands, and brothers to go to this
cruel war, possibly never to re-
turn. 1t sheds a gloom over all
that witnesses the leave taking.
Others have their sorrows to
come in the form of death. I at
tended the death bed scene of a
friend, Mr.. J. A. Robinson, a
member of my camp of w. o. W.
Being clerk of the camp, was
among the first to be called. Just
a few weeks ago they had two
sons called to the training camp at
Fl. Worth, thirty miles away.
The boys were notified three days
before their father died. The
boys could not get things arrang-
ed and get leave to come home in
time to see their father before he
died, such is the life of a soldier.

WINS CONTEST OVER WILL.

Washington, Aug. 31---The legal contest over the will of John R. Me- Lean, millionaire newspaper publish CT of Washington and Cincinnati, was ended yesterday when the focal courts granted the petition of Edward B. Mo- Lean, his only son, that he be ap- pointed one of the executors of the
 estate. The trust company named as executor by the testator did not
 oppose the application.
 The courts decree declares the val
 idfty of the trusts created under the
 will and provides that the appoint
 ment of Edward B. Mclean as a CO., trustee does not affect those trusts.
 This means that MT. Mclean will re- ceive practically the entire income from his fathers large estate, E. T, Homer of Baltimore and New York named in the will as an advisor to the trustees, will not be affected by the decree. x It was held in the decree that a reading of the will showed that Mr Mclean clearly intended that his son should have a part in the administra- ton of the estate. The suit to set aside the will, now abandoned, was brought on the ground that the late MT. Mclean was mentally incompe- ] tent to make his will, and was subject 1 to undue influence.

ROMBARDIER WELLS OF
 ENGLISH RING .RENOWN { IS REAL SOLDIER NOW

william Bombardier Wells has been living up to his middle name since his country went to war. The British heavyweight champion feels quite at home In a uniform as soldering is his trade. The Bombardies was born 30 years ago today. Aug. 31. 1884, and as a youth enlisted in the British army. He was sent out to India, where boxing is a very popular sport with Tommy Atkins and the officers and it wasn't long before certain husky young gentlemen with pugilis< btic regulations manifested desire to muss up his handsome young face.
 Like the lamented Mr. Barkis, Bombardier was willin', and he :, quickly acquired a proficiency with /; the goves that made him the idol of the army in India The sender, clever soldier standing six feet three inches and built like an Apollo, was the ideal figure of a boxer, and after he had won the heavyweight championship of the army he began to entertain notions of winning fame and fortune in the professional ring
 He made friends who shared his opinion, and they purchased his dis charge and sent him back to Eng land to clean up the bunch. That was In 1910, and at first Bombardier made noise like real hope. Dur- ing his first year in the ring. which I was the year in which Jack Johnson flattened out Jim Jeffries. Wells took on five men and defeated them all by knockouts, Gunner McMurray. Corporal Brown, Sergeant Sunshine, Private voy1es and Seaman Parsons were his victims. but in 1911 Wells .znet his Waterloo at the hands of a gent who also bore a warlfke name, Gunner Mofr. He then won the de- l'cision in 20 rounds from Porly Flynn, and annexed the English heavy woieht title by knocking out Iron Hague.
 Tn 1912 Bonbardier paid his first visit to America, and was knocked out by Al Paizer, although in the searfy rounds he made a monkey o1 fthe Iowa farmer. Bombardier then knocked out George Rodel. the ex- soldier Boer. He returned to America lin 1918, and was knocked out by Gun. boat Smith. His two fights wftt tGeorges Carpenter followed. and or thoth. sad occasions the Frenchmar put him to sleep.
 Bombardier looked like a goner
 pugflfstically, but in 1914 he came fback and knocked out Bandsmar iB7ake and Colin Bell. the Australian
 the latter bout being for the heavy
 weight championship of the British fEmu1re and $10,o00. Wells is con dcnn1fonofuff11esn 11esnzeEersstsand<m
