AMERICANS IN THE TRENCHES

This country is nearer and nearer
to the war A large detachment of
American soldiers and artillery men
are doing practice work in the trench
es. They are not regularly in battle.
They are under fire, however. They
are taking aim with the big guns.
They are getting all the experience
which men get in battle yet they are
not much exposed. They are getting
used to the trenches. The sharp
shooters are firing over them. The
shrapnel shells are passing over them.
Some of them may be bursting near.
Our men are becoming acquainted
with their duties. We all dread
the time when the list shall come CIV
ing the names of the dead and wound
ed but we know our men will be
there and we know that there will be
no towards or slackers. They are
our best American breed. They are
fighting for the peace of the world
They are out to destroy German ego
tism and the German bluff that the
Germans were chosen to rule the
world. Our men in the trenches are
fighting for us. They are fighting
for America. Peace cannot come
any too soon to suit the American
people but there can be no peace until
German militarism is crushed.

SUFFERS PAINFUL FRACTURE

Miss Ella Campbell, daughter Of
Mr. and Mrs. Geo. A. Campbell liv-
ing in Melville township, suffered
the fracture of a small bone in her
left fore arm one day last week. She
was in the field picking corn and the
team seemed to be going too slow 20
suit her fancy. She went to the side
of one of the horses and to make
them go faster gave the horse prod
with the 'husking pig. Old "Dobbin"
took exception to such treatment and
lifting its hind feet gave the young
lady, a swift kick, with the above
result The injury gave Miss Camp
bell much pain and she came to town
to have the fracture reduced and
will be unable to pick any more corn
for this season, which will be quite
loss to her parents as she is some
corn-picker.
