More Enlistments,

Lieutenant Chas. J. Jennings, who
still has charge of the recruiting sta
tion in Fort Dodge, spent Sunday at
his home in Webster City. He reports
three enlistments since the first of the
month, among them being r. X. Kin
zie of this city, who is employed at
the DR.. Conrad sanitarium.
Lieutenant Jennings reports that all
branches of the service are still open
for enlistments. The aviation section
seems to be the most popular, with
the field artillery next. At Fort Sam
Houston in Texas, the government is
laying out an addition of 1000 more
acres as an aviation field. In this
section the chances of promotion for
men who know something of gasoline
engines and autos, is very. good.

A Fine Piece OF Work.

The Pleasant Hour club ladies have
Just finished a neat piece OF woik.
They have been quilting for Mrs. Jack
Sheldon a blue and white patchwork
quilt which was pieced years ago by
Mrs. Sheldon's great aunt and given
to her mother, Mrs. w. B. Howard, OF
Sioux City, who, in turn, is handing 1t
down to the next generation. The
proficient needlewornan was in the
eighties when she made the intricate
pattern and every stitch of the work
was done by hand. That the needle
work would correspond as near as
possible, the ladies Of the Pleasant
Hour club quilted the patchwork by
hand also, using nearly five one hun
bred and fifty yard spools of thread
in putting the finishing touches on the
very old and valuable heirloom. The
club expect to give the money made
by doing this work to the Orphans
Home in Council Bluffs-the right
spirit, surely.

totaling s1692.5O. The day was ideal
and fair sized crowd was in attend
ance. They were buyers, however,
who recognized the breeding and milk
qualities and had come to buy.
There were fifteen head of mich
COWS, yearlings and sucking calves
which averaged S102. The top mich
COW. with a record of 5000 pounds of
milk, was sold to L. G. Bernard, near
Woodstock, for $197.50. Six other cows
from two to six years old, with rec
ords ranging from G,700 to 1850
pounds Of milk, averaged $153.75.
From these figures it is easy to con-
clude that it pays to give attention to
the details of dai lying. Mr.. Bonebright
has raised all his COWS since giving up
the city electrical work few years

tioning Of cattle; he has weighed

Big Jack Rabbits in "Hand
Grab" Hunt,

Sergeant w. R. Towns, writing to
the Sioux City Journal, tells of a
unique rabbit hunt that Major F. J.
Lund of Webster City gave his bat
talon the other day. The letter fol-
lows:
Mai. Lund, commanding the One
Hundred and Twenty sixth machine
gun battalion, gave the Sioux City
soldiers at Camp Cody an amusing as
well as practical workout in THE shape
of a hand grabbing rabbit hunt. On
practice hikes rabbits were noticed to
be numerous and the major, always
trying to give the boys treat, work
ed out plan that furnished wild ex-
element throughout the morning.
Shortly before a. M, the regular
time for drill, the men fell in line, not
knowing just what to expect. Rumors
of something out of the ordinary were
in the air, but nothing was definitely
known. The march took the men out
in wild stretch of country to the
west of the camp. After giving in
4 structions to the commanders the ma
jor took up his position on barn
that overlooked wide, fiat piece OF
country. From there he signaled for
the battalion to deploy over about a
mile of territory and then gradually
work in toward a given center, driv-
ing the rabbits in. No firearms were
used, the men catching them with
their hands or using clubs. Thousands
of rabbits were scared up, and as they
dashed past the men managed to grab
about one out of every twenty-five.
Most of them were the big Jack type
and hit the line with terrific speed,
never slowing down or wavering from
their course. Out of the wild mess
that locked considerably like cattle
stampede, the soldiers managed to
stop about $50.
stopped many of the rabbits. They
hit the fence at top speed in their
flight, and on the rebound were
promptly pounced upon by the highly
excited soldiers. One little bunny
that led the advance to safety put one
over on the men that nearly broke
up the line. Charging straight at the
line without swerving to the rightAQr
left, the men drew back their clubs
ready to down it, while others prepar-
ed to kick or drop on it. All chance
for the bunny seemed lost, and as
clubs and men mixed up the men got
up to find that their quarry had
bounded into a hole right under their
feet"

Extracts from letters written by
Roy Smith, who is an enlisted men,
Der of the 16Sth Infantry stationed at
Camp Mills, to his sisters, Mrs. H. E.
Whiteman and Miss Merle e. Smith,
of this city tell interestingly of the
young soldiers recent experiences on
ship board and the transports subse-
quent return to an American port
Says he in part:
"Well 1 can't tell you how glad
am to be able to write you again. I
tried my best to get word to you the
day October 49, we left here for
France, but they watched us close and
I didn't dare take chance. We went
from Camp Mills to Hoboken, and
from there down East river to Brook
Ign and were loaded on ship board.
The ship was the President Grant,
formerly a German liner that was in
termed here. 1t is one of the largest
boats afoat.
Glad to Be On Way.
1--WE left sometime during the night
and the next morning (Friday) were
on the high seas. Well, can hardly
explain, how / felt with no land in
sight but was glad for all O. that to
be on my way to France. We We're
out four days, distance of 1900
miles, when something about our ship
boilers went wrong and they couldn't
get up any speed at all. So back we
came. Well, l didn't think much of
it after getting out that far, but it
was best, I guess. We were just a
day and night from the danger zone.
"There were 10 ships in the feet
battle ship, 2 sub-destroyers and the
balance transports. We were the only
ones to return, the rest going on.
Monday, Oct. 29.-Just few lines.
We are settled here in camp again,
but for how long don't know. l just
heard that the boat would be ready
in about two weeks but I don't believe
anything l hear. They also said that
we would be in Des Moines in about
two weeks.
Drill On Board.
while on ship board we drilled
every day and sometimes at night.
They are terribly strict. We wore
our life savers all the time, eating
and sleeping Believe me when the
signal bell rang we were all on our
way to the RATS. We had Is men on
our. II the boat was hit they would
throw them over the side Of the ship
and we would jump in after them,
Gee whiz, never saw so much
water in my life. But when stand
and look at it over the side of the
boat, it doesn't look wicked, like l
thought it would. OF course the far
Their out we got the rougher it looked.
There were $500 men on the boat
We were not allowed to smoke after
dark for they said an enemy could
see lighted cigar or cigarette before
they could make out the ship.
Received the sweater after we had
been two days out and also some let
tiers. Suppose they took the mail on
just as we were leaving the dock.
Hope to be home soon and it sure
looks that way now"
