'SN|PING THE SN|PER"
Game Popular with y. S.
Lads on French Front

With the American Army III France,
Nov. 1.-By The Associated Press).
Some of the American soldiers who
have just been relieved after service
in the trenches had thrilling stories
to tell on returning to the billets. On
clear days. especially, German snipers
became active. Bullets We're singing
harmcssly overhead. American infan-
trymen We're toldoff to attend to any
sniper who became active and more
than one of them will snipe Americans
no more.
This game of sniping the sniper was
highly popular The only compla int
heard today was that there was not
enough rifle shooting to satisfy the
infantrymcn. Several of the soldiers
said they went out to fight but did
not get enough. There is no scarcity
OF expert rifiemcn when snipor starts
in.

when the Germans nearly got the

nothing was accomplished by the en-

The infantry in one section had
quite lively time for two nights.
The Germans, thinking a hostile pa
troll was near them, opened fire with
their rifles at the point where the
opposing trenches are nearest. The
Americans let the Germans fire for a
time. and then they themselves be-
gan to fire.
Airship Targets
Several German airplanes which
flew over the trenches were targets
tor rifles and machine guns.
The morale of the Americans is dis
unctly pleasing to the French. The
troops marched out of the trenches in
the dark, their wet and muddy clothes
clinging to them. AS soon as they
were out of hearing of the Germans the
men swung along whistling or singing.
Officers of all the groups comment
ed on the remarkably small amount Of
sickness which has developed. There
are some bad colds but as far as re-
ported there are less than half doz-

SHOULD GUARD EXPLOSIVES

Information to the effect that large quantities of dynamite and blasting powder were frequently left unguard- ed and in places where they could easily be stolen, today resulted in the State Council of Defense sending out warnings that all such explosives hereafter must be carefully watched. According to information reaching the State defense body, many tons of explosives could easily be secured by enemy plotters because of the failure of mining companies, ranchers and others to keep careful check on them. Each county council of defense. is asked to cooperate in seeing that the explosives are carefully guarded.
 That the warning is merely to safe guard against the theft and use of such explosives by enemy plotters and that no reports of dynamite having been stolen have reached the State Council, is the declaration of officials of that organization.

FEED GARBAGE
 TO HOGS AND HENS

Garbage varies greatly in it's com- position, wholesomeness, and feeding qualities. Table garbage is usually of concentrated nature, and if used in the fresh condition makes a splen- did food for hogs and chickens. Al least one hen and one-tenth of hog may be half fed from the garbage left from an average person. In cities this waste accumulates very rapidly, but there is an immense quantity of it, and it should be utilized for prod uctive purposes. The amount of gar bage from hotels and restaurants is very great, and stoclmen should ar. range to feed it to animals. Garbage may be fed alone, but it is better to give it to hogs along with a smaller quantity of grains and alfalfa pasture. Clean table scraps will make good hog feed alone. It is important, however, to keep the garbage clean and feed it fresh, for garbage poisoning is very common in hog feeding.
