tah's, one OF the most prosperous
cities OF Europe before the war, the
streets were lined with people in the
pnng OF starvation. Famished and
rain-soakcd. they squatted there, with
their elbows on their knees or leaning
against the buildings, too feeble to
lift a hand for a bit of money or a
morsel of bread If one offered it, per-
ishing of hunger and cold. Charity
did what it could. The rich gave all
that they had. the poor shared their
last crust. Hundreds of thousands
were perishing. Day and night the
picture is before my eyes-a peopie
starving. nation dying.
In that situation, the German com
mander issued a proclamation Every
able bodied Pole was hidden to Ger
many to work. If any refused, let no
other Pole give him to eat, not so
much as a mouthful. under penalty Of
German military law.

your country which is destroyed, to
work in Germany for it's further de-
struction. II you are obstinate, we
shall see that you surely starve.

racks. behind barbed wire entangle-
ments, under armed guard He shall
sleep on the bare ground with single
thin blanket. He shall be scantily fed
and his earnings shall be taken from
him to pay for his food.
That is the choice which the Ger
man government offers to proud.
sensitive, high strung people. Death
or slavery.

WOODEN GUNS
FOR SOLDIERS

II someone were to suggest that our
soldiers be sent to Europe with
wooden guns. he would be dealt with
as q madman. But there Is another
thing that would be equivalent to
sending them out with wooden guns,
and that would be to send them to the
front without sufficient or proper
food. For gun, and ammunition
with which to feed that gun, are not
enough for your soldier He must
have food too. And he must have
as perfect food rs his gun, and enough
OF it, If he is to b as efficient as his
gun is expected to be.
But that is not the whole of the
situation There are some of our peo-
pie who, while seeing the necessity Of
feeding our own men at the front,
don't quite see why We should take
over the task of feeding our allies,
yet that is simple enough-just con-
slider this Illustration and see:
We are motaphCcc,c; :ly. a hundred
people in house with hundred
doors. being attacked by a hundred
bandits. If twenty of us or fifty of
us or eighty of us are strong enough
to do our job of barricading our par
ticu'ar door, all the bandits can still
get in the other doors. If the allies
mon are not as strong, not as well fe !.
as our men, then nothing that orr men
can DO will save the day, so, unless
we feed all, we are wasting the foo
we send our men-yeS, wasting our
men too, their bravery. their toll,
their sacrifice. their lives.
Food will win the war Don't waste
it. Every oInc. of food you save
means an extra ounce for our boys
in France. Sign the Food Pledge
Card when you are asked.

Little Booth, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
R. E. Rhine. fell one day last week
and broke his collar bone.
JH. Cowden of Olney Springs was
in this community last week securing
food saving pledges So far as
known everybody was perfectly will
ing to sign the pledges. A goodly
number are of German descent and
have a lot of adniration for the Ger
man people, but no sympathy for
Kaiser Bill and his crowd of soulless
autocrats.
DR.. and Mrs. j. M. Sullivan spent
several days in Colorado Springs last
week. From that place Mrs. Sulliv-
van went for an extended visit with
her son in the state of Washington.
The suggestion of Commissioner
Cowden to pay bounty for jackrab-
bits is certainly step in the direc-
tion of food conservation. Jackrab-
bits have become so numerous that
they are now the most destructive
pest in eastern Colorado. Let the
county pay a bounty of from 3 to 5
cents-just enough to pay for the
ammunition-as is done in other
states and the school boys will do
the rest on Saturdays. /

Loren Sullivan, motored to Olney

wife and little son, who arrived from
Missouri to spend the winter on the

BILLIE EDGAR NOW
IN MILITARY POLICE

Billie Edgar gives some informa
tion on life at Camp Kearney in a
letter to his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. T.
l.. Edgar. He says:
1--WE are now permanently as
signed to the Headquarters 115th
Military Police; that's final and holds
good in France as well as in the
United States. The military police is
new organization for the United
States army. They take care of the
lines of communication and also
handle the prisoners of war. We
sure have been eating like princes
lately. Chicken, bacon and eggs,
fish that the boys catch out of the
big drink, hot cakes with genuine
maple syrup, and even butter. Be-
lieve me, butter is very unusual for
the army mess. But good eats, easy
times and everything will soon pass
into oblivion. We are to give up our
mess and eat with one of the NJ. P.
outfits, and intensive training starts
November l, 1917, and ends March
1, 1918. During this time we are
going to drill eight hours per day
and have class work, practical work
and fatigue on the side. That period
of intensive training is all that is
Inappeu OuL Ill tho ShitOu
States. The next and final period OF
our drill will be in France or where
ever they send us. We will be glad
when we get thru drilling and act
ually get into the mixup, for then
we will see something different once
in a while. OF course we have got
to be in good condition before we go
into the trenches.
Last Saturday bunch Of us
went out to Ocean Beach and enjoyed
the novel sport of diving the big
breakers as they roll in. Surf bath
ing is fine sport, especially when you
get out beyond the breakers and
float on the swell. Ocean Beach is a
splendid beach, altho not SO beau
| tiful as the beach at La Halle, but
much better, for the reason that the
under current is hardly noticeable,
therefore not much dangeT The
worst thing about swimming in this
country is that there is fish called
the stinger that flops his tail
around and sticks you in the foot.
The sting is very sickenfng and 1t
usually lays the person up for week
or SO, Three soldiers were stung at
ocean Beach last Saturday. The
fish stay in close to the shore SO II
YOU get out little way there isn't
