PERsHING IN FRANCE
Given Greatest Reception Ever Ac-
corded Any Man

Maj. Gen. John J. Pershing, the
Laclede soldier, is the most promi-
nent man before the worlds people
today. AS head of the American
forces in the European war his
movements are being watched by
the people of every civilized nation.
With his staff officers, few en-
listed men and clerical force, he
reached London last Friday and
his appearance in England gave
new reality to the fact that the
United States is in war. He was
given an enthusiastic reception and
received with the dignity of the
important place he holds in the
worlds crisis. Gen Pershing's
escape from submarines on his way
over was indeed cause for felicita-
tions from all true. Americans,
During the week he has been in con-
ference with England's war secre-
tary and Premier Lloyd George and
was the guest of honor at a number
of luncheons. On Monday he con-
ferred with the British War Staff
and that afternoon lunched with
King George and Queen Mary at
Buckingham Palace.
Wednesday evening he reached
Paris and the dispatches say he
was given the most enthusiastic
reception ever accorded any man in
that historic city. Thousands mass
ed the streets waving the American
and French flags and the reception
fittingly marked Frances graft
tude for Americas aid in the war.
Those who have watched the
movements of John Pershing since
he was barefoot boy in Laclede
have no fear but what he will make
good in the great conflict his
country has entered into.

ON LOCAL SUBJECTS
Local Items and Interesting Bits Of
News Of All Sorts

Mr.. and Mrs. j. U. Luyster who
have been stopping here for several
weeks, have permanently located
in Laclede, buying Miss Sarah
Moss residence property in the
north part of town. 1t is a good
piece of property being a block of
ground with an abundance of fruit
and fine garden spot. Miss Moss
has vacated and the new owners
have taken charge.
Laclede Modern Woodmen pro-
pose to do their bit as an organi-
zation in the world war struggle
now going on. At the regular
meeting of the camp Wednesday
evening the board of trustees was
authorized to purchase a 500. 90
Liberty Bond from the camps
general fund. AS chairman of the
board the editor of THE BLADE
filed application for the bond with
the Lomax & Standby Bank yester-
day morning.
By a decision of the state high
way department the cross state
highway between Laclede and
Meadville that has heretofore been
considered tap road to the county
seat highways and received the
dragging fund, has been cut off
and it is now up to those interested
to see that it is kept in condition
for travel. The dragging fund
allotted to this township can be
spent only on the LacIede-Linneus
road and the south Laclede- Brook
field road. These roads are now
in fine condition.
The recent extremely heavy rain
fall has made road building very
difficult and it has been hard to keep
the roads in good shape. Only
constant dragging will do it.
Dragging is the duty of every per-
son interested in the Cross State
and every true Ameri-
can. The only way to give local
travel and tourists who pass
through Linn county good roads is
to keep them dragged. Reports
like Follow the Pixies Peak
marker and you'll find good roads"
will bring thousands of tourists
through here but bad reports will
drive them away.

hostess to the P. E. O.'s at their |
