His Life.
JOY OF GOOD FELLOWSHIP.
War Camp Community Service, He
Says, Is "the Most Smashing Ar
1. gument That the Nation Is .
*, Behind Her Sons"

Gratitude is the universal reward of
War Camp Community Service given
by the enlisted men for whom it
cares. But rarely is this gratitude so
feelingly expressed as in the follow
ing letter written by Lieut. Dempster
o. Murphy, Company @, S31st Battal-
ion, u. S., Taub Corps, at Camp Colt,
Pa, to Charles W. Dawson, field rep
resentative, w. G. G. s.:
Il left you civilian and thought !:
The War Camp Community Service is
unquestionably q good and necessary
thing / write you now soldier, an
officer, it is true, but / began an en-
listed man and for months l lived and
breathed and thought and cursed and
prayed as an enlisted man. Tonight,
then, have a different viewpoint-a
more comprehensive viewpoint-than
/ had as the youth who saluted you in
farewell last Saturday before Christ
mas. And tonight say: The War
Camp Community Service is the most
smashing and convincing argument
thus far disclosed that the Nation is
behind her sons in the war

that goes hand and hand with the pri-
Yates uniform, and I have felt the

have known these things-but, oh,
Charlie, / have known also the great
Joy that comes to man of this sort
when sweet, gracious women throw
open their homes to him, ask him to
sit and break bread with them and
with their men, extend to him the de-
cent hand of good fellowship.

NOW ONCE A WEEK

Home Guard drills are taking place
once week nOw-every Wednesday
evening. Some of the members do not
understand the proposition a stO the
future of the guard.
First, the local guard has been
promised recognition as one of the
companies of the regularly authorized
guard organizations of the state, as
soon as it is possible to do so and that
it viii be the first company so recog-
niZed
Second, it will not be part of any
Z. S. guard which is another and sep
arate organization, proposed by the
government in the states, to act as po-
lice for protection of Federal plants
and interests.
Third, if the guard of the state is
recognized by the Federal government
as a part of the military establishment
of the country, practically taking the
place of the National Guard now III the
service, then it's status will be elevat-
ed and there will be more of the bene-
fits both to the state and the members

FLYING PULLEY
CRUSHEIS< SKULL
VIM. Diedrich Probably Fatally
Hurt by Saving Machine
Accident
TO HOSPITAL
AND STILL UNCONSCIOUS
Cash i'm Scalp and Skull Mashed
Thought First Caused by
Flying Belt

William Diedrich was saving wood
with machine at the Diedrich farm,
two miles east of iadysmith, on the
Tony road Monday. Later he was
found lying unconscious near the wood
saving machine with his skull
crushed in on the left side and the
brain oozing from the wound.
When Dr. w f. O'Connor exam
ined the skull he found a section of
the bone crushed about the size of two
silver dollars This was removed and
the injured man sent to MarShfield
Monday evening where he is in the
hospital and has been in an unc0n-
scious condition from the time of the
injury until now.
At first it was thought that the belt
struck him. He had evidently been
working at the belt or it had broken
when it came off the pulley. 1t was
the theory that his skull had been
crushed with the flying end. Wednes-
day upon examination of the machine
it was found that a pulley had disap-
peared and evidently had struck Died
rich inflicting the injury which is apt
to prove fatal.
The accident occurred about $3.50
Monday afternoon.
'Diedrich is 81 years old, and the
son of j. w. Diedrich, who was the
owner of the Diedrich stock farm up
to two years ago. The son bought IA
place near by. on the Tony road, and
has lived there with his family since
his marriage to Miss portman. of
