Fremont, March 49, Live stock
shipments are moving freely, now that
the Spring season has really opened
up and the number of cars sent out is
increasing. The record this week is 5

people.
Came Out Ahead.
The High School boys and girls bas-
ketball teams completed their season
with a double header with the teams
of the Delta High School and as us
lral Fremont came out ahead with
score of 38 to 81 for the boys and 81
to 20 for the girls. Both of these teams
have been particularly strong this
season and they have met with com
paratively few defeats and this in
spite of the fact that the team of the
boys has suffered by some of their
best players going into the Army. In
all, it is worthy record.
Hoffman Sale.
J. l.. Hoffman has a public sale on
March 21st and some SO head of stock
horses, 10 cattle and II hogs will be
sold as well as some farm machinery
and grain. Chase c. Wilcox will also
nave sale on the 25th of March and
43 head of stock, horses, 20 cattle,
and IA hogs will be sold as well as
farm machinery. The Hoffman place is
one and half miles southeast of Free
mont and the Wilcox place is four and
a half miles southeast.
Are Holding Corn.
M. & St l. shipments this week
were cars of cattle and l car of Horses
and for some reason the grain ship
ments have fallen off, but it is under
stood that on account of so much soft
corn, an inferior quality has been
shipped to market and this has de-
pressed the price and so those who
really have good corn, are not willing
to sell at the present prices.

week, only 81 votes were cast and
there being no contest. the former Of

2OO,OOO,OOO CHICKENS

1t is estimated that the scraps
thrown away from the tables of Amer
lea are enough to feed 200, 600, 600
chickens.
Instead of being turned into gar
bage. all of these scraps might be
turned INTO eggs.
A great saving of food and money
could be made if the people of Amer
lea would keep more small flocks of
chickens
A campaign is being launched to in
terest the city and town dweller who
owns a backyard in the possibilities of
keeping a few hens. If you have a
family of four you can feed eight
hens on the scraps from your table,
and YOU should average four eggs a
day from your flock.
The federal department of agricul-
ture has published a handsome illus
trated booklet on the possibilities of
. backyard poultry keeping. The book
gives full expert directions for how
| it should be done.
The State Journal will send you a
copy of this book free. Write for it
today, and see if your circumstances
| will not allow you to keep a few chick
| ems in your own yard, city or sub
urban.

TWO SISTERS RUN MINE
Operate a 2-Stamp Ore Mill and Do
All the Work Themselves.

Juneau, Alaska, March AT
Pearl Harbor, 40 miles from here, two
young women, just out of their teens,
have for the past four years operated
paying mine. Their sole assistant
has been their mother. They operate
two stamp mill and their present
ambition is to install a five stamp
equipment
These girls are the daughters of the
late John G. Peterson, a pioneer who,
with Mrs Peterson, acquired an inter
est in some mining properties 26 years
ago in the Pearl Harbor district. The
girls names are Irma and Margaret.
Both were born in Juneau.
Built Own Cottage of Logs.
There is nothing in a mining line
that the two young women are not
capable of doing, from sharpening a
steel to shoeing a mule. These things
are every day affairs with thenl-a
part of the days work. They built
the neat four-room cottage in which
they live, getting the timber out of the
forest themselves
An inspection of their library shows
works on geology, minerology, met
rology, mining and milling, and mine
mana cement by the best authorities.
A number of standard magazines come
to them. The girls occasionally take
trips. One of those excursions took
on the proportions of tour to
Europe. -
Juneau, the town of their activity
frankly is proud of them So is
Alaska.

eta Tee Ia Ia" 1t was the thin
shrill note of a bugle. Other bugles
took up the call and soon from be-
fore the door of each battery h4r
rack the call was being repeated over
and over until the whole camp re-
sounded with the clangor of TIA Tee
Ia Ia"
Every khaki clad figure in sight at
once disappeared from view. All
working parties dropped their tools
and dispersed on run, each man
getting inside and out of sight as
soon as possible. The call was at
tention' in the regular list, but at this
camp it had been adopted as the ''air
raid warning"
Inside the barracks, all the men
first saw to it that their gas masks
and rifles were near at hand and
then settled down for whatever sort
of rest they could get, awaiting the
next call that would tell them what to
do. Should ITO arms" be sounded,
the masks would be at once adjusted
and all would pour out of the barracks
and into trenches already dug and
awaiting the arrival of boche raiders.
In this particular instance, how
ever. it was Recall that was
sounded. Either the word that the
planes were headed our way was in
correct or the planes had sailed harm
lessly overhead without noticing us.
Then again it may have been only
drill, but no one from the colonel
down to the kitchen police was taking
any finances.
Gas Isn't Dangerous.
"Gas, it is not dangerous, if you but
watch and obey instructions" said a
French lieutenant who has been in the
war since it started. You see one
always can know ahead of time when
gas is to be used and all he needs to
do is to put on his mask and he is
safe It is the failure to get warning
that kills.
There are several seconds between
the liberation of a cloud of gas and
the time the wind can carry it to you
anG even when gas shells are used,
one can hear the escaping stuff in
plenty of time-that is fine is always
on the watch for it, He went on to
say that when men are killed from
gas attack nowadays it is always the
fault of some sentry.
Causes a Cough.
When I paid a visit to some first
line trenches of the French certain
| men for whom specially construct ed
protection had been provided were
pointed out to me. These were the
gas sentries and had nothing else to
do but watch for any sign of gas and
upon seeing it, to sound the alarm.
I later learned to know the men in
civilian clothes who wear the wound
ed ribbon in the lapel of their coat
and who have the hacking cough of
the tubercular patient. These were
gas victims, those who had inhaled
some of the stuff but not enough to
kill.
