PRIVATE PINkELE
WOUNDED IN FRANCE
Webster City Soldier Gets
Shrapnel Wound in
Shoulder.

Mrs. Dora L. Pinkele is just in re-
ceipt of letter from her son, Private
Carl Pinkele, in France with the Goth
infantry. He writes that he was
wounded Nov. 5 with piece of shrap-
mel in the shoulder. He is in hospi-
tai and is getting along as well as could
be expected.
Private Pinkele left Webster City
July 26 with party of selectmen bound
for Camp Gordon, Ga. After a brief
period of training, he was put in re-
placement company and sent overseas,
where he was assigned to Company +,
Goth Infantry, Fifth division.
1t is not known where he was fight
ing when wounded. The American for
ces, however, did some very hard and
successful fighting during the closing
days of the war, especially on the front
west of Verdun on the Sedan sector and
it is quite likely that it was on this
front that Private pinkele was fighting
when wounded.

TWOMORE BOYS
DIE IN France
Ira E. Daily of Homer Dies
in Hospital and Clarence
Olson is Killed
in Action.
LATTER JEWELL BOY

Private Olson.
Private Olson left Webster City July
26 for Camp Gordon, Ga, where he
went into replacement company and
was soon sent overseas. Arrived in
France, he was sent to an American
company to replace men lost and was
soon in the very thick of the fighting,
probably in the sector east Of Verdun,
where the Americans did much heavy
fighting during the closing days of the
war and where they took the impor-
tant city of Sedan the week prior to
the signing of the armistice. Private
Olson was well known in and about
Jewell. He was fine young man and
will be honOred by the people Of his
community with memorial service
later.
Private Daily.
The Stratford Courier has the fol-
lowing on the death of Private Daily:
Private Ira r. Daily was born on a
farm near Homer He is a son of Mrs.
Martha Daily of the Homer neighbor-
hood. He passed to his reward in a
hospital in France, October 2, 1918,
and, had he survived until October %,
1918, would have been 25 years Of age.
His death has brought large meas
ure of sadness, to his widowed mother
and the, heartfelt sympathy of the en-
tire community goes out to her in her
SORROW Although he was one Of a
large family of children-seven broth
ers and three sisters, all of whom are
living-his death is heartbreaking to
those he has iKlff behind. always Of
jolly nature, with ready smile, he
made friends with all and his face will
be missed in the years to come. but
all of them will be proud to remember
that he died hero.
Private Daily went with the mere
ment Of drafted men who left this
county June q, 1913. In August he
went with his division to France. He
was member of Co. G, 1873 Field Ar
tillery, Ssth Division at his death. His
last letter home was dated September
q, when he said he was well and get
ting along nicely. His death is reported
to have occurred five days later.

will please me much.
Have seen many of the famous
places here but it would take six
months to see all. The churches,
operas sculpture, painting and statu-
airy are sure wonderful and must be
seen to be appreciated, but the streets,
they run every which way, no two in
the same direction. l believe they
were layed out by some one like Herb
Buell. or Vern Clifton while playing
golf Visited seven different churches
yesterday. Each one seemed more
beautiful than the other. Saw the
church that was hit by the shell from
the Huns long range gun. The papers
gave it that this church was on the
outskirts of the city, but in fact it is
very near the center. The prices here
are certainly "over the top" They
seem to think that the Americans are
all millionaires. Shoes are double in
price, eggs $3.50 dozen, cheap cigars
thirty cents each, pears fifty cents each
and most everything in same proper
ton.
Wine is plentiful and the beer is
about the same as Bill Kearns' near
beer. Not fight or a song in a barrel
of it, so when / don't feel like singing
"My Wild Irish Rose" there is nothing
doing.
Dark at Night.
All cities over here are as dark as
a stack of black coal ut night. No
pleasure going out after dark, only to
get lost and have some pretty little
French girl show you the way home
and strange to say, you can always
find one-or more. must say it is,
simply awful to try to make love to a
girl after dark. You can't see your
dictionary. Usually both will chatter
away fast as they can, neither one
knowing what the other is talking
about. Girls here never chew gum but
/ was not aware Of the fact and the
other night when / was lost ca a very
beautiful blond Cat least she looked
beautiful under the blue light of a
lamp post) was showing me the way
home, and very generously on my part
l gave her whole package of gum.
Well, l suppose she thought it was
candy for she swallowed or tried to
swallow the whole bunch and she made
such fuss about it that thought it
high time to beat it and did. No
first aid for me on a case like this.
Was out to see DIR. Lieut.. Crumpton
last Sunday. He had just received
your letter, telling him that I was go
ing over and would look him up. When
/ called, we sure had some visit. Any
body, any place or anything that we
did not discuss was not worth men
tiOning

A woMAN's JOB
Keeping the Army Behind the Army
Fit. Women In the Second Line
OF Nations Defense

Keeping the army behind the army
fit That is a woman's job, because
this supporting army. the second line
of the nations defense, is an army of
women.
The War Work Council of the Y w.
C. A. is doing this, taking care of the
feminine soldiers in this country and
France whose business now is the TAX
ing Of bullets and weapons of war for
men in the trenches.
Since the " w. c. A. went to
France more than year ago, at the
invitation of the French Y w. C. A.,
to undertake recreational and welfare
work among the workers in the big
munition centers, foyers or club-houses
have been established in eight centers
Others are being organized.
The purpose of these foyers is to in
crease the efficiency of the workers by
offering them relaxation from their
work to bring a little cheer into the
dreary lives of women whose homes
are now fragments on the battlefield
and whose families have been separat-
ed or killed during the war. The Y.
w. C. A. has also bettered the housing
conditions and established cafeterias
in these centers.
A foyer may be part of building
given by the factory, whether 1t is
privately owned or a Government
owned factory, for this work. II may
be building leased or put up by the
Y. w. c. A. Whichever it is, it is made
comfortable and homelike by attrac-
tive hangings, by comfortable chairs,
writing desks and other conveniences.
There is a gymnasium or hall which
serves as a place for games, aesthetic
dancing, amateur theatricals, concerts
and other social affairs. In most of
these centers a large recreation field
has been secured. There are also class
rooms where English is taught and per-
haps stenography and bookkeeping, in
addition to these we have sewing
room.
Workers spend the two hours rest
period at noon in the foyer, listening
to the music writing playing games
and making themselves fit for the aft
ernon's work. That of the morrow is
helped out by the social time in the
evening, the first fund that many of
the workers have known from the time
war began until the foyer was opened
Such Clubs are called Industrial
War Service Clubs of the United
States, and they are established at all
of the big industrial centers where
supplies of all kinds are being turned
out for the army and at the twenty
two Government munitions canton
ments.
The women in charge of cafeterias
at these rest places here and abroad
are all exper dietitians; those directing
the recreation are experts in play and
games. The housing is done under ex-
pert women constructionists. Women
skilled in all lines have been comman-
deered to give the best of their efforts
and thought to making these workers
happy, comfortable and efficient that
the army may have the necessary sup
niles
