NO REASON FOR IT

When Pensacola Citizens Show Way
There can be no reason why any
reader of this paper who suffers the
tortures of an aching back, the annoy
ance of urinary disorders, the pains
and dangers of kidney ills will fail
to heed the words of a neighbor who
has found relief Read what this
Pensacola man says:
Stephen Sanchez, sos S. Alcanize
ST., Pensacola, says: 81 had pains in
my back, when I went to stoop or lift
anything, that made me believe l had
kidney complaint. l felt the trouble
most when l got up in the morning.
Nights a dull ache across the small
of my back often prevented me from
sleeping soundly. Doan's Kidney
Pills were recommended and it took
them but a short time to bring
cure which has lasted two years.
Price Coo, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same
that cured Mr.. Sanchez. Foster

at Fort Des Moines, is the country's
only training camp for negro officers.
At one time there were 124S men in
this camp, learning to be captains
and lieutenants over selected negro
soldiers.
When I visited Fort Des Moines,
found this number decreased to about
900, since the training period is nearly
ended. There also were about $50
doctors, learning to be medical
officers.
The candidates for commissions
are teachers, doctors, lawyers. Many
are college graduates. About rs per
cent are from the South. They have
gone through the same rigid dis
cipline that white officers face in
their training camps, and their
officers say, are making good.

LETTERS FROM The
BOYS IN ARMY CAMP

With the Colors, October %, 2,1917.-
My Dear Mrs. Tuttle: Well, we are ad-
ding a few notches to the stick in line
of history. would like to write let
ter that you could read to your class,
but our letters are censored so
won't be able to. l suppose you have
heard the song, ."Oh Where Do We Go
From Here?" That is just it. We hit
one place then pack up our troubles in
our old kit bag and smile, smile, smile
for the next place. We leave here next
week. They certainly are fine class
of people here and the boys enjoy
helping them out. The rest of the boys
have been lost until about week ago.
l am the only Mankato boy in our
regiment but Paul Brazier, Dan Lloyd,
Claude Masters, Ben Corbid, H. john
son and NJ Kimble are in the others.
BY the way, we have come to the
conclusion that Sherman was right
about the war. No doubt you have
heard about the Liberty bond. Our
regiment is ahead of all the other
troops in "you know and we are
ahead of them in everything else. l
took out two, but have fifteen dollar
allotment or would have taken out
more. This life would make a sissy
tough and tough sissy. Guess you
understand it as I mean it. If a fellow
thinks he is beating school by joining
the army he is mistaken. This is our
outline for the week. Reveille, a. M;
breakfast, $780, camoufage, S-9 Ga
study Of art and nature, a science of
concealing our big guns;) drill on the
big guns, $40; artillery instruction,
1O-11; dinner, II; signal drill IL; gas
and how to protect oneself against it,
2-3; French, ga; retreat, 4:20; supper
at 5; lights out $50; check, 9:15.
Guess you are tired of trying to read
this so am going to stop. have every
reason to believe the war will be over
by next spring. The Y. M. c. A. are
doing everything for us and we are
having a great old time. am going to
church now so will say good bye until
next time. Suppose it will take a
month for this to reach you, but write
as soon as you get this. Good bye and
good luck. Harold Jones, Battalion 1,

Italian Will Order Retreat.
UNITED Press Dispatch.l
Rome, Italy, November 21.-Be-
cause the position of the Italians
along the Piave river is disadvant-
ageous, it is very likely that the
Italian war office will soon order
another strategic retreat to- better
defensive ground. The Italian troops
thus far have held the ground prac-
tically unaided. The bulk of the
British and French reserves have
not been in the battle. The spirit of
the Italian troops have never been
better. The internal dissensions
that the German government hoped
to create in Italy, as was done in
Russia, have not taken place. The
first opening that the Germans won
in their attacks on the Italians was
through treachery. Then followed
the mighty sweep of the Teutonic
armies. For a time the Italian
leaders lost their heads, but the spirit
of the whole fighting force quickly
returned.
Mussed Up His Bedroom.
UNITED Press Dispatch.1
At the American Field Headquar-
ters, November 21-"The Boche just
mussed up my bedroom" Thus
spoke an American colonel in regard
to the shell that yesterday struck
the regimental headquarters. The
colonel at the time happened to be
in his office in chateau nearby. A
short time afterwards the colonel
was at the regimental head quarters,
looking over the fragments of debris
that lay over his bed and the floor
of his room, and picking up the still
hot fragments of the German shell.
An American general had just
driven up to the regimental head
quarters with his automobile when a
shell exploded nearby, scattering the
auto with mud The general had
just walked few PAGES away. The
chauffeur remained nervily at his
wheel.

County Organization Committee.
The county organization committee
! in charge is very desirous of i'm
pressing upon the people Of the
county just what the agriculture
agent is. He is a person trained and
experienced in farming, who is a
joint representative of the people o.
the county, the State College O.
Agriculture and the United States
department of agriculture. He brings
to the county through personal con-
tact the results of the Investigations
work of the state and federal expert,
ment stations, localizing and applying
! them in most practical way. His
office is clearing house of agricul-
tural information and agriculture
organizations within the county
Unfortunately some have the erron-
eous idea in thinking that the county
agent will dictate to men how the!
shall run their farms. The county
agent is not boss in any respect
He is a co-worker with the indivi-
duals and committees of the county
and serves as friendly counsellor
and connecting agency between farm
er and farmer, countryman anc
townsman, one community and an
other both in country and town tha
each may gain from the experience
and work of others.
Mr.. Balmer explained at the meet.
ing that since the federal govern
ment had extended special aid an(
was urging counties to establish the
movement that twenty-one counties
in the state of Minnesota have taken
action similar to Blue Earth county
They are as follows; Martin, Mar.
shall, Lincoln, Cottonwood, Morrison
/ Hubbard, Winona, Meeker, Mower
Carver, Wright, Mile Lacs, Penning-
ton, Yellow Medicine, Wilkin, Wa
SEGA, Rock, Mobiles, Watonwan, ant
Wadena.
The government is urging thai
each agricultural county in the I'm
ion organize the movement not latel
than February 1, 1913, that nation
wide action may to better advantage
be applied in producing the foot
which will be required the coming
year.
