AMERICAN PUPILS \
IN TRENCH WARE RE
DELIGHT TEACHERS

American Training Camp in France,
Sept. 27-The Paris correspondent of
Reuters writes the following account
of his recent visit to the training camp
of the American expeditionary force:
II asked an English drill sergeant
who had just given bunch of sixteen
American subalterns breathing spell
after some particularly strenuous ex-
ercises, what he thought of his
charges.
"kEEN AS MUSTARD
"tWhat do 1 think OF these ERE
young gentlemen, sir? Why, sir. we've
Just had 'em six days, and look at
'em. They are training on beautiful.
"'The best thing about 'em sir, ne
went on with professional pride, is
that they're as keen as mustard. We
can't give EN- too much. They eat it
up. At it eight hours day and ask
for more and you could, see for your
self, sir, 'ow we made EN- 'ustle. Just
lettin' EN- see, sir, 'ow we do it in our
little army
Il was on visit to one Of several
camps somewhere in France where the
American army is training. After
lunch with the division commander, a
simple but ample meal with a water
washdown-as am told it is in every
mess-he invited me to come with him
to see how your English sergeant
major takes my aide over there and
the rest of the school Of officers and
makes them run around.
HITTING TIN 'ATs.
I'VE stood later on a smiling hillside
while the general pointed out where
there had been constructed in dip
three short lines of trenches, ending
at rise some hundred yards of.
""Those points you see in the sun
on the opposite SLOPE he said, are
tin cans on sticks. You will know their
use in minute or two
Ready, gentlemen, said the drill

peared in the first trench. Then up
they came and on again until we could
see them spread-eagled behind a shall
low trench, blazing away at the cans
which ratified down.
GAMES FOR INSTRUCTION.
"'To ease 'em up a bit between real
work. the sergeant explained, we give
'em games, but each of these ERE
games Is meant to teach 'em some;

teach concentration of thought on the

"A section of communication trench
had been prepared with side pockets,

was to teach these young officers the

fightin' stock. these young gentlemen
and God help the boches when they
get goin'.'
The last supreme impress which
the visit made upon me was that of
the immense seriousness and modesty
esty of officers and men in the face OF
their task. We heard in France, as
you doubtless have heard in England,
that the Americans had come over
boasting they had come to finish job
too big for us.
II have not yet come across such
an American and l am convinced that
the tales are myth.
These men had left their homes
their business and their amusement
and come 5000 miles, for? What
for? Some silly school boy idea and
bravado and boui ,e? They are not
fools and the bo y will know II

SAUL OF TARSUS
THEME OF SERMON

Despite the rainy weather, good
audience turned out at the Davis Street
Christian church last night to hear
Evangelist Minges. In greeting them
he remarked at takes dark night to
bring out the stars, so ! am sure the
best Of us are here tonight.
Following the song and prayer ser
vice conducted by Prof. w. A. burton
Mrs. Minges sang THE Haven of Rest
playing her own accompaniment on the
harp. The evangelist then began his
sermon of the evening. His subject
was 1.-THE Conversion Of an Infidel," and
he took the story Of the conversion OF
Sau lof Tarsus for mis- central theme.
saul Of Tarsus prosecuted the
Christians with a good conscience,
continued the evangelist. THE Hindoo
woman sacrifices her babe in the
Gauges river with a good conscience,
Conscience is matter of education.
Cod committed the instruction OF
conscience to man. The holy spirit does
not convert people Independent OF the
gospel. No one can be converted or
saved without a knowledge of the gos-
pei"

URGED TO SAVE
SEEDC0RNN NOW
To Insure Next Years Crop
Selection Must Be Made
Before Frost Comes.

The campaign for early seed corn
selection being waged by County
Agent c. r. Scott is being carried on
In forceful manner. Letters urging
early selection and explaining it's i'm
portance are. being sent out to the
farmers over the county by Mr.. Scott,
and it is hoped that every farmer in
the county will be reached by speakers
urging the importance Of the move
ment next Saturday night. Farmers
in the vicinity of Farson will be
spoken to tonight
MANY TALKS FOR SATURDAY.
Speeches will be made Saturday
night at Blakesburg, Eddyville. Mum
terville, K1rkville, Highland Center,
Bladensburg, Eldon, Agency, Chilli
Gothic and Green township house.
Good speakers for the occasion have
been secured by County Agent Scott.
This movement for the early selec-
ton Of seed corn by every farmer is
directed jointly by the national and
state departments Of agriculture with
the cooperation Of the state council Of
defense, the state and county superin-
tendents of schools and the county
agent
URGENT TO DO " NOW.
Because the season is two to three
weeks late, the seed corn situation in
Iowa is likely to be unusually serious
this year. Next years corn crop in
surance lies in the field selection OF
corn now before the frost gets it. A
freeze now would mean almost a
calamity.
II Is estimated that so per cent of
the farmers in Iowa select their corn
early each year. and have it well dried
and tested for the next springs plant
ing An acre planted with seed corn
thus cared for produces an average OF
Z to bushels more than an acre plant
ed with seed selected haphazard. If
all farmers cared for their seed corn
in this way the increase in Iowa's corn
crop each year would average 10000
900 bushels.
