HE HAS GAS WELL
That Is, Topekan Says the Water
Tastes and Smells Like Gas.

Because the water in his well at 313
East First street tastes like gas and
sometimes smells like gas, E. A. Sher-
burne is firmly convinced that a po-
tential gas we'll is located on his prop
erty. In fact, he is so sure of it that
he appeals to anyone who 50 wishes
tigate.
The fact that a gas main passes a
few feet in front of the house and
that the property is but couple of
blocks from the old gas plant has
nothing to do with the taste of gas in
the water. according to Sherburne.

ST. Croix County Pushing
Red Cross Drive 10 Limit

The Hudson Star Observer reports
that the Red Cross drive in St. Croix
county is coming along in grand
style. The mark Of 5000 set for
Christmas eve was not quite reached
but the full quota was expected by
New Years. Prominent men were
enlisted in the drive throughout the
rural districts and talks were gwen
in the different school houses. At
the Chapman school in Troy every
family represented took out 100 per
cent memberships costing from five
to ten dollars each, and this included
every man on the farm. This is the
spirit that helps the Red Cross go
over the top"

HUNKA TIN
(From the American Field Service
Bulletin, Faris)

You may talk about your yoitures
When you're sitting round the
quarters,
But when it comes to getting
blesses in
Take little tip from me,
Let those heavy motors be,
Pin your faith to Henry F.'s old
Hunka Tin
Give her essence and Peau,
Crank her up and let her go,
You back firm, spark plug foulin'
Hunka Tin.
The paint is not so good,
And no doubt you'll find the hood
Will rattle like a boiler shop en-
route;
The coolers sure to boil,
And perhaps she's leaking oil,
Then oftentimes the horn declines
to foot.
But when the night is black,
And there's blesses to take back,
And they hardly give you time to
take a smoke,
1t 5 highly SOOu 10 lS0I,
When you're sitting at the wheel,
She'll be running when the bigger
cars are broke.
After all the wars are past,
And we're taken home at last
To our reward of which the preach
er sings,
When these ukule1e sharps
Will be stunning golden harps,
And the aviators all have regular
wings;
When the kaiser is in hell
With the furnace drawing well,
Paying for his million different
kinds of sin:
If they're running short of coal.
Show me how to reach the hole,
And I'll cast few loads down with
Hunka Tin.
Yes, Tin, Tin, Tin.
You exasperating puzzle, Hunka Tin
I've abused you and I've f1ayed you
But, by Henry Ford who made you
You are better than a Packard. Hunka
Tin.
(War correspondents have written
repeatedly of the attachment of the
ambulance driver for his machine,
and have spoken, too, of the especial
serviceability of the light weight cars
which are in PARTICULAR favor in am
bulance units. These reports are
corroborated in the above poem,
written by a driver on the French
front
In the parlance of the ambulance
driver, "voitures" means carriages !;
"blesses" signifies wounded soldiers,
and essence and l'eau" are his terms
for oil and water.)

Nicholas Kohl, Aged 70
Years, Meets With Ser
iOus Accident

Nicholas Kohl of this city was the
victim of serious accident last Sat-
urday morning.
Mr.. Kohl, who is seventy years of
age, was engaged in operating the
feed grinding plant at the Green
wood mill. Dust had gathered on
the rollers and Mr.. Kohl attempted
to brush them off with his hand.
The mitten caught in the rollers and
before he could help himself his
hand had b ee n partially severed
above the wrist.
Mr.. Kohl was alone at the time
and it was only by chance that his
plight was discovered. John Gun
ming and Ii n k WATSON secured a
dray and assisted the injured man
to DR.. Cairns office where his needs
were attended to.
Those who discovered Mr.. Kohl
and who assisted in taking him to
the physician speak highly Of the in
jured mans "gameness." Not a
complaint did he make, although he
must have suffered intense pain.
Mr.. Kohl is doing nicely at present.

Few Attempt TO Secure
Non Hazardous Positions

The Weekly War News Digest
says: "When men called under the
seIective-service law reach the can
tonments they are given, so far as
practicable, their choice of Army
service. Infantry is most often pre-
ferred, Artillery second, Engineer
divisions are third in popularity, and
quartermasters work fourth. In
designations so far made by the com
mittee on classifcations of personnel
in the army, which has the matter
in charge, prove that only 2 per cent
of the men attempt to secure non
hazardous positions. /"

ELLSWORTH
PHYSICIAN DEAD
DR.. Martin Oyen Succumbs
After a Weeks Battle
With Pneumonia---De-
ceased Leaves Wife and
Two Small Children

DR.. Martin Oyen, a well-known
Ellsworth physician, passed away
last Saturday afternoon at his home
in that village, after an illness of
but one-week's duration.
On Saturday, Dec. 22nd, DR.. Oyen
was called to the Holden farm in
Ellsworth township to attend Mrs.
Holden, who had been severely
burned. He had trouble in starting
his automobile and, knowing the
seriousness of the case in hand,
worked frantically to start the en-
CINE. He was heavily clothed and
was perspiring freely when he final
ly managed to crank the engine.
He made the trip and felt no i'll eff
fects until that evening when he
was taken suddenly ill. Pneumonia
set in and he gradually became
weaker. On Thursday evening DR..
O'Hage, the ST. Paul specialist, was
called, and every effort to save
DR.. Oyen's life was made but to no
avail. He passed away on Saturday
afternoon.
The deceased was 35 years of age
and leaves a wife and two small chill
dren, besides his aged father, one
brother and his sister, Miss Anna.
DR.. Oyen came to Ellsworth about
eight years ago from Montevideo,
Mimi, and has built up largeprac-
tice. He owned one Of the finest
homes in the village and has been
prominent in business and social af-
fairs.
The funeral service took place at
the home on "Wednesday and the
body was taken to Montevideo
Mimi, for interment. Besides the
families, two members from the
Elks, K. of P. and M. b. A. Lodges,
accompanied the body, the latter
all acting as bearers.

Here's a Good One

The Elmwood Press tells a deer
story that has all the fish stories we
ever heard of backed off the map.
Says the Press: A Neillsville deer
hunter lost his license this year. He
shot a buck; when satisfied the buck
was dead he tied his tag to its leg.
Buck then jumped up and proceeded
away from there in hurry, taking
the tag with him.

War Savings Stamp
Campaign Well Under Wa y

Reports from county chairmd On
throughout the state indicate tn at
the war savings stamp campaign is
rapidly getting under full swing an id
that as the weeks pass it will stea B.
lily gather momentum.
In practically every county the
various committees are fully orga b.
lied and have been waiting only for
the end of the Red Cross Christina s
membership campaign before cor a.
mencing active work. Now that the
Red Cross has again "gone over the
top" work will center upon the thri TT
stamps and the totals will rapidly i h.
crease.
Practically every postoffice in tRe
state is supplied with the stamps ar id
each mail carrier and postmaster is
an active selling agency. State Di r.
ector J. II. Puelicher has authori T.
ed the various county chairmen TO
appoint agents as fast as possibl lie
and it is hoped that within the next
two weeks every store of cons E.
quence in the entire state will offer
the stamps for sale.
This movement has more behind lit
than the mere raising of So, 900, GOD :.
900; it is intended to make a natid n
of savers instead of spenders to IL lie
end that in the future we may con b.
pete favorably with other nation
