Washington not to enlist any more
Negro soldiers and the effort being
made to compel white men to enlist
one may form a pretty fair idea as
to the relative patriotism of these two

A NEW DEPARTURE

The Press has failed heretofore
to mention the enterprise of
Messrs Latferty & Comeau in re-
building the fences surrounding
their extensive ranch adjoining
this City. Messrs Grover Dug
ger and Will. French have
been assisting them and they
have the line on the south
side of the Red and yellow
Trail" down Beaver Gulch now
completed. This part of the line
has three wires, while but two
wires will be needed on the prairie.
The remainder of the fence will
be improved with new posts where
needed, and wires thoroly repaired
as fast as the weather will permit.
They deserve a big credit mark,
as stray stock on the road between
here and Gettysburg is becoming
a real nuisance. 1t is to be hoped
that other stock men owning land
along the Red and Yellow Trail
will get a similar move on them
selves.

/. is time now for the Woodmen
OF Forest City to be planning for
their annual election of officers for
1918. We understand the Clerk
of the Camp is in favor of a bic
oyster supper at that time. He
thinks that the few members who
are keeping the Camp alive ought
to have some extra remuneration
From what The Press knows of the
situation, we hazard the guess that
none of the members know what
they would get-to say nothing of
the oyster supper-in case they
were to get sick or disabled; how
ever a dance can be gotten up any
time to relieve them. But there is
at least one member of the Camp
who does not believe that such a
procedure is carrying out the
spirit and intent of the bylaws of
the society. Only a few people
realize that "6rst aid given to a
sick OF injured man is worth as
much as all of the medicine given
to him afterward. What we was
getting at, is, we bet not a single
member, except Ven. Consul,
Banker and Clerk, know how
much money they have got in their
treasury.
