Whale Made Waves Quiet.

The use of oil to calm troubled seas
was Illustrated in an unusual way to
n skipper who recently arrived in New
York from southern port. Every
mariner who has dripped oil from his
plunging bows in stormy weather to
smooth down invading crests knows
how effective the trick is when done
properly.
This particular skipper sighted a
dead whale, which at first glance
seemed to be schooner bottom up,
when he was about $50 miles east of
the Virginia coast. There was a stiff
wind from north-northwest which
kicked up crested sea. but there was
no disturbance within a mile to the
northwestward of the whale. The
skipper said in his report to the local
photographic Office that this mile was
Smooth as glass;" or like ballroom
floor" due to the effect of the oil ooz-
Ing from the carcass of the whale and
borne on halfknot current setting to
the northwest.

There is a man coming to Emmett
who has gone through the hell Of the
war, who has contributed to the hell
of the war, who has escaped from the
hell Of war, and comes back, minus
one arm TO tell Of it. His name is
Sergeant Fred Wells, known as "Doc."
and he will talk at the Ideal Theatre,
December 4th, in addition to a regular
Fox feature. In Canada doc" Wells
is well known. Tales of his heroism
have been seized by the newspapers
and published from coast to coast.
But il is not Of his personal achieve
ments that Sergeant Wells will talk
He is not on a mission Of self APP
plause. He is telling the United
States States the real facts about the
war, picturing it so graphically that
every man and woman who hears will
be able TO picture his or her son sur
rounded by the war; TO visualize war;
to know the details of warfare. Wells |
talks about the Ypres in terms of the
comrades he knew. He pictures men,
men just before charge, during
charge, in death, and pleading to be
killed. He will not tell, unless drawn
on, the story Of how, in the attack on
Ypres salient of five miles, he volun-
teered TO cross road considered inn
passable, TO take command Of de-
taehment losing all but 1S of the 81
brave men who followed him, and how
he lost his arm for his act.
There is something in the face of
Sergeant Wells found only in the
faces Of men who have seen things
which they cannot forget, uncontroll-
able, crushing things. A sudden
tautness of the lower lip, narrowing
Of the eyes, a tenseness that he can
not control, are Indications of mem
cries, perhaps too horrible to ever
put into words, perhaps too elemental
The Emmett index. [volume] (Emmett, Idaho) 1893-1925, 1917-11-29

the face by the hand of another com
mander.
Of the period served in German
prison, and his miraculous escape
from the living death from which few
men have yet come alive, following a
long period Of pretended insanity
Wells tells in detail in his lecture. He
has pictures struggled from the Ger
man prison.
"The hospital base is the soldiers
little heaven" Sergeant Wells said.
"Not the one above, but the sacred
ground presided over by Red Cross
nurse. We all hope, that by some
fuke we will be spared for the base
hospital. 1t is the hope to which we
cling"
Wells is a Canadian by birth. He
was formerly connected with Van
couver newspaper. He is recognized
by the Canadian Government, which
has supplied him largely with the pic
lures which he shows. Wells has lost
three brothers and his father in war.

Taxpayers who realize what large
part of their taxes are spent on roads
and how poor is the average system
of accounting for road funds, will be
interested in the following resolution
recently passed by the County Enei
neer's Association OF Washington:
"Some system OF cost-keeping mus
be devised whereby all expenditure.
from road funds from all sources
must be classified and segregated, IL
order that taxpayers and road officisls
may be informed of details Of cost o.
construction and maintenance Of ,h6
various types o! roads To this end
we recommend that all vouchers fol-
rad work, before being allowed by
the commissioners, shall show Diet il.
OF expenditures, as to place, extent,
character and ella ;Silication OF /;
and that the county engineer be re-
quired to collect and file all sue
date"
