BRITISH FIGHT ON
WHERE MULES
Die FROM HEAT
Road 10 Struma He'll for Men and AMI
mails; Lined by Graves.

London-There are still people who
wonder why there has been compar-
atively little fighting out Saloniki way
during the nice warm summer
months Such people exist.
They have never heard of the road
to the Struma and the two lines of
traffic that pound it into dust.
Tin that road to the Struma goes
ever the flesh and blood of England
trudging into the unknown doggedly
and dourly and In n lather of sweat
Down that road from the Struma
comes ever the same flesh and blood
of England stricken by disease ana
torn by shrapnel-down to the hospi-
tails at the base where the men are
matched up and tended back to health.
But some die on the way.
That road over the mountains Will
remain for ever a terrible memory to
those who have travelled it in the boil
ing heat of summer or in the perish
ing cold of winter In summer the
hot sirocco blows over Macedonia
from Africa like blast from a bak-
er's oven. In winter the freezing
wind from the steppes of Russia
comes and chills to the bone.
Imagine fighting in the ROCKY
mountains in such climate! lmag-
inc the efforts of the medical corps
TO get the sick and wounded over the
hills!
Experiments were conducted to ma
the most efficacious types of transport
and now every field ambulance has
mule filters as part of its equipment
Even the mules fall out on the jour-
ney-south American mules, when
can stand anything, and have even
been sworn at in Spanish One day
one will drop out of the traces, the
next day two. the next four.
What can be done for them? Ihe
traces are cut and the animals are
left behind If have chance OF
living they are sent to the base. where
the hide of them is cleaned and paint
with iodine and they gel the scent
of the hot wind from off the hot wat
ers of the bay.
If they die there they are buried
where they fall. Along the ton of the
high cliffs at Kalamaria there are pc
culiar hollows, each about six feet
long by three feet wide. Some people
who sit in the hollows do not know
that they are sitting in the graves
of dead mules-four the bodies have
shrunk and the original grave heaps
have collapsed.
Those who died up the road get
shallow graves. And II you go back
a few days later you will fin dthe ribs
of the mules scattered around, and the
leg bones sticking out of the ground
in silent protest, for the wild dogs OF
the Balkans come swooping down like
wolves.
Now, If South American mules hate
the Struma so much, you will under
stand why little summer fighting ou'
Saloniki way is hell.

JACKRABBITS BY
MILLION TO Be
PUT ON MARKET
Eastern Capital Backs Packing Firm
In Wyoming.

Cheyenne, Wyo.-One of Wyoming's
greatest natural resources-the jack
rabbits to be capitalized and util-
lied to combat the fact increasing cost
of beef, button, and pork. An eastern
promoter, backed by eastern capital,
is now arranging details of the plan,
which involves the slaughter of mill
lions of rabbits and their preservation
in cold storage plants until winter
when the carcasses will be marketed
in all the eastern cities.
This man has already purchased
four miles of wire netting which will
be used as the cage or corral into
which the rabbits will be driven by
well organized expeditions of stock
men and farmers who regard the
| jackrabbit as pest, and who will be
willing to lend their efforts to his ex-
! termination without cost so long as
he is put out of business. The first of
the drives will take place next fall.
| hhllC lllC SCHtlllS 10 d HONtlll
Wyoming, it Is said to have worked
we'll in Kansas, where one man last
winter marketed more than 10000
jackrabbits in the east and made a
large profit in the meat, with upward
of $4,000 in additional profits from
the sale.
This man, a resident of Hutchinson,
organized drives in all parts of the
surrounding country. His first ship
ment of 10000 carcasses failed to sell
at good prices because they were
shipped unskinned. After that rebuff
he established a dressing plant, in
(which the rabbits were turned out in
attractive form, and the result was
THAT they sold at fancy figures.
The hides we're disposed of to man
lufacturers for conversion into felt
land the refuse was fed to herd of
Ihogs with excellent results. This
imam is now breeding Belgian hares on
a large scale, and the promoters of the
inew company feel that his success can
be easily duplicated in Wyoming
where iackrabbits are more common
loven than oil companies.
4 No stock will be sold, 1t is an.
nounced, and the company when fin.
Tally organized will be maintained as
a closed corporation. 1t is estimated
that the annual birth rate of iackrab-
lbits in Wyoming exceeds 100000 SC
that the new venture is sure of q
broad field for its operations.

PLANNING FOR SALE OF
BOYS CLUB HEIFERS
Helfers In the Mason County Heiier
Club VIII Probably Be Sold In
Early October With Register
ed ShOrthOrn.

Much interest will be taken in the
sale of the heifers belonging to boys
in the Mason County Heifer Club
which will be held in Maysville this
fall. Reports come from all parts Of
the county that the heifers have
grown out wonderfully and are in
fine condition. The young farmers
have taken great interest in the care
of their stock and they will be greatly
rewarded at the big sale according to
those who have seen the heifers.
The Shorthorn Breeders Associa-
ton of this section is planning great
public sale of about fifty head of reg
istered shorthorns in Maysville about
October 18th and it is planned that the
heifers owned by the boys of Mason
county be sold at the same time Civ
ing to Maysville one of the biggest
cattle sales in the state for this year.
1t is expected that there will be many
buyers from all parts of the state here
at the shorthorn sale and 1t will be a
splendid time to offer the heifers for
sale.
The Mason County Hefer Club was
financed by the First-Standard Bank
and Trust Company who sold the heif-
ers to the young men at cost and the
boys, themselves, will receive the
money their stock brings over the
cost price. Many of the young men
have become so attached to their
heifers and are so pleased with them
that they will be bidders on their own
stock at the sale.

GERMAN CUTS OFF TWO
/. FINGERS TO ESCAPE DRAFT
lie Had Boosted He Would Not Have
to Join Army.

Greeley, Colo.-William Kraus, a
German, born in Russia, is believed to
have cut off two of his fingers on his
right hand and otherwise multilated
himself in order to escape military
duty in the United States army.
Kraus was found in the bunk house
on the Peter Jacoby farm, a mile
north of Milliken, in an unconscious
condition from the loss of blood as a
result of the amputations and mutila-
ton 1t is thought now he will re-
cover.
Kraus had claimed exemption on
the ground of being an alien and was
placed in class 5, He was accused by
loyalists of Johnstown of having
boosted that he did not have TO Join
the army because he was an alien and
was glad of 1t. A committee forced
Kraus to accompany them to Greeley
and ask the draft board to change his
classification to Glass Al, which
would have resulted in his early in
duction into the service.
After multilating himself, or having
been multilated, Kraus crawled into
his bed and drew the coverlets over
him. He did not ask any one for help.
Jacoby by whom he is employed is
also German-R Russian, who has lived
in this country ten years and is doing
well financially. He was notified by
the loyalty committee to apply for
naturalization papers Immediately,
which he did.

OBITUARY..
Clun.

An unusually sad death was that
of Merrell Sherman Clum, which oc-
Cured on October %, 1918, at his
home, four miles southeast of Flint.
The cause was pneumonia, following
an attack of influenza. Merrell Sher-
man Clum, son of Sherman S. and
Fannie ]. Clum, was born near Mil
ford, Michigan, February 25, 1886.
He was graduated from Milford high
school in 1905 and in 1906 tool, a
course at the business institute in
Detroit. After holding for some.
months a responsible position in De-
troit, he returned to the home farm,
where he remained until after his
marriage with Ruth Mccoy, on De-
cember 2, 1911. The next six years
he and his wife spent near Clio, COM
ing in March, 1918, to the farm near
Flint, which they occupied while
waiting to obtain possession of
farm near Grand Blanc, which his
father and mother had bought. At
the age of eleven he experienced re-
ligion, deeper experience following
three years later. During his stay
in Detroit he was made president OF
the Baraca Bible class of the Simp-
son M. f. church, the membership OF
the class consisting largely of his as
socrates in the Business Institute.
Over these Young mea he exertcd
strong Chr. stian influence. In his
last conscious moments ne ackr owl.
edged strong faith in the life m-
mortal, and expressed a glad hope of
meeting those who have gone before,
his sisters, Viletta ID. and Iva Belle.
His wife and two children, Loren
Sherman, aged five, and Marjorie
Viletta, aged three, with his father
and mother, mourn the loss of kind
husband and father and devoted
son. He possessed rare gift of max
ing and keeping friends. His death is
a source of sadness to large circle
of his associates.

year or more that he has served has
justified the faith of his friends and
won the respect of all who have had
business in his court. He is schol-
arly and experienced lawyer, a man

judicial, comprehensive turn of mind
necessary to proper and successful
discharge of the judicial office. He
has been nominated on the Republi-
can ticket for unexpired portion of
the judicial term, and his eminent
fitness for the position, coupled with
his clean record as a citizen, will, we
are sure, commend his candidacy to
the favorable consideration Of every
voter. In the months he has served
the people of this county as judge he
has given them an able, honest and
fearless administration of the office.
No man could have done more.

RALPH ALvORD TELLS
OF FIGHTING ZONE
WAS NINE MONTHS ON THE BAT
TIE FRONT
Wounded by a German Shell, he is
Now Recovering in a Hos
pital in France

The following from Ralph Alvord,
one of "our boys" son of Ralph Al
word, Sr., of this place, tells in an in
teresting way of the experiences of
an American soldier in actual battle.
Extracts are taken from letters dated
Sept. "a and Oct. q:
Dear Father:
A lot has happened to me since l
last wrote you. had a detail of fifty
men out in the first position stringing
barbed wire. 1t was in the woods and
had just got them lined out when
Bosche airplane flew over. That was
the last / saw of him, but in less than
five minutes some 210s came in there
l guess got the first one. Now
/ always thought the Red Cross was
the "bunk," but have learned a
needed lesson, as the first l knew l
was in a nice soft bed, the first had
been in for ten days, and / was feel
ing real comfortable. Since then l
have been taken care of better than
if special trained nurse had taken
care of me. So much for the Red
Cross. Now l am beginning to be-
lieve in our song over here: 81 Don't
Want to Get Well"
Gee, pa, had a lot of fun in this
last battle 1t wasn't really battle,
as the Bosche gave up as fast as we
came upon them. was in the very
first wave and was with the tanks un-
til noon. had charge of one of the
tanks, that is, of the men that help to
get them across when they jump the
Heinie trenches.
Well, pa, this is the life, no more
scrapping for me. l am away down
in southern France, where it don't
rain and is always warm. You know
/ had been on the front for just nine
months and never out of range of ar
tillery, so this is some relief. Gee
it's tiresome to stay in bed, isn't it?
The doctor told me that couldn't get
up for at least month, but don't
think l will stay IN bed that long.
! Well, dad, I'll close, so good bye.
