subsidized somewhat, smoldering pos
sibility of further argument is not
yet uncertain. Since Sunday after
noon many wise brows have wagged
over this problem and friction is the
inevitable result. Plainly stated it
reads "Who caught the fish," This
apparently simple question came up
as result Of an angling trip to Eagle
Lake last Sunday afternoon. A. E.
Mossberg and G. P. Karwand were the
interested parties. Karwand flushed
with boast of a catch of IA pike was
about to slip on his string the fifteenth
pike when tragically enough the string
and its tinny treasure wiggled from his
grasp and disappeared beneath the
surface. Chagrined and disgusted the
illfated angler lost all interest and
patience in further fishing which kept
his partner busy. The unfortunate
accident was we'll discussed and sharp
ly commented upon by both but ap-
parently little satisfaction was gained
by the conversation. After some time,
however, Mr.. Mossberg announced
that he had finally obtained a bite
and proceeded to haul in what he

men of the finny tribe yet secured in
that lake. The excellent quality of
the line passed thru it's severest test,
while Mr. Mossberg sought to land
his catch. Finally, with a sudden jerk,
the fish appeared, fifteen of them and
identically resembling those lost by
Mr. Karwand. It is evident that to
fittingly describe this scene is beyond
the writer's literary effort being that
verbal description is always secondary
to the original. After the stunning
surprise had left them, the anglers
participated in logical debate as
to who really caught the fish. The
two contestants have not yet conclad
ed a decisive solution and the ques-
ton is open for further discussion.
Enlightenment is gladly welcomed.
Here is the hypothesis: "They both
caught it."

HOME PURCHASES
Food Administrator Order. Free
Delivery Of Stores to Cease

AS a war measure, in the interest
of economy and to release for school
or other employment, boys and men
now engaged in making deliveries of
merchandise, I have requested the
merchants of Willmar to discontinue
the present delivery system. In COM
pliance with this request, the present
system will be discontinued by the

Beginning September End, there will
be but one delivery of general mer-
chandise; this delivery will be made
in afternoon to such persons as re-
quest it, and charge of ten cents
will be made for each delivery. All
orders to be delivered the same day
must be at the store before IL, o'clock
noon, otherwise delivery will not be
made until the following day.
The meat markets will make one de-
livery in the forenoon, for which no
charge will be made.
Some Inconvenience will likely be
experienced by. this change. But the
times are trying, and the people of
Willmar will not. hesitate to shoulder
this additional burden in order to
help the cause along, which they will
by so doing.

LITCHFlELD BOYS
FELL IN BATTLE
Graphic Description is Given by
Comrade in Hospital In France.

Orville Nelson, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
j. W. Nelson of L1tchfleld, was killed
on the field of battle at Chateau Thier.
rey, France, on June 9Th.
His death was confirmed by letters
received from Ivan Dart, another
Litchf1eld boy attached to an ambu.
lance division. The parents of Nelson
has not received any notice from the
Government, although rumors OF Mel
sons death had been contained in
letters from other boys. Darts letter
states that Nelson was buried in the
same grave with Donald Horton, who
fell on June %. A part of the letter
clipped from the Litchfield Independ.
ent reads as follows:
July 27, 1918.
Just received your letter of July /,
l have been wanting to hear from you
in regards to --- marines ever
since l received the horrible news
from member of that company and
regiment ROLAND Davey who is here
in my ward. 1t is all too true about
poor Cotton Top, who was killed June
9Th in the battle of Belleau Woods, as
is also the death of Don, who was hit
June 23rd-night-and died the fol-
lowing morning. Davey told me of
their trials and troubles from Easter
Sunday when they went into the
trenches until he finally landed here
in the hospital. He was in the night
accommodating patrolling party in
which Don was killed. They were
ordered out to take a machine gun
which had been doing dirty work all
day. They surrounded the gun and
''strafed" the Boches, but their gun
fire brought out strong force Of
Germans and they were forced to re-
tire. At roll call on their return,
Don and another man were missing.
Stretcher bearers we're sent out, but
he was not found for several hours.
He was taken to dug-out with just a
bullet thru the knee e---
to see him and Don said he was cold
so ROLAND threw some more blankets
on him. In the morning he was
dead, the physicians pronounced
the case "bled to death on the field"
which was probably the case: but
what a shame that such a minor
wound should cause the death of such
a strong, sturdy little fellow as Don.
I can't realize it at all, when I think
that l won't see him ever again, ev-
erything sort of blurs up, and I pic
ture the poor kid lying out In no mans
land sand NO Une To help him He
must have been stunned, for I know
Don too we'll to think for a minute
that he would give up. If he would
not crawl in there was reason for it.
If only one Of us had been there to
look after him, as no doubt he looked
and hunted for Jay. Cotton was hit
twice, chest and stomach. He was

they are called, and used at the front.
Don and Cotton we're both buried
together at little place just south
of Belleau called Lucy le Bocage. If
ever I have the opportunity, am CO.

ON PUBLIC ROAD
Elderly Stranger Give. Way to De-
pondency Last Monday Night.

An unknown man was found dead
with pistol bullet thru his left temp.
le on the road near Pennock Monday
night at ten o'clock. A pistol by his
side and all other evidence available
indicate that it is a clear case of
suicide.
Victor Bergstrom and William Dick
son were returning from a trip to
Willmar, when they made the grue.
some find. The man had evidently
committed the deed while standing by
the roadside. He fell so that the head
lay on the road. The boys reported
their find and Coroner Branton and
Undertaken Peterson were notified.
They found the victim to have sue
cessfully hid his identity. There was
not scrap or line of any kind by
which he could be identified as to
name or residence. He was a man of
about sfxty-f1ve years, weighed about
two hundred pounds, and his hair is
grey. His clothes were clean. He had
carried small grip containing a few
clothes, and some patent medicine
bottles. He had IS cents in his pock.
cts, also rosary. He had arrived to
Pennock on the morning freight, and
had attracted the attention of the
people there by his strange actions.
He walked about, sizing up the build
tngs and the town in way that made
the people there feel that he was not
normal. He patronized a refreshment
parlor quite often during the after
noon. In the evening he left town
towards the east. After a while he
returned minus his grip and cane.
Then he left again and was not seen
again alive. The body is held at the
Peterson Undertaking rooms, pending
the orders for disposition from Cor
onner Branton. The latter is attend
ing District Draft Board meeting
at Minneapolis today.
The deed was no doubt done in de-
spondency induced by ill health and
lonliness.

LETTER FROM TRIBUNE.
PRINTER IN FRANCE
Somewhere in France,
Aug. 2. 1913.

Somewhere in France,
Aug. 2, 1918.
Dear Mr.. Lawson:
Will now send you a few lines from
lover here"
Our company has been stationed
here for some time now and we enjoy
it, especially the boys from the north
as the climate in this part of France
is the same. Our company came here
from Camp Travis, Texas and is COM
posed of boys from both northern and
southern states.
The trip was successful one.
While on land, it was made in Pull
man sleepers, went thru some of the
largest and finest cities and states of
the great U. S. A. 1t was the incest
anyone could take, both as to pleasure
were on hand at many points and
treated the soldier boys to refresh
ments as oranges, pop, candy, coffee
and sandwiches; these eats were sure
ly appreciated by us.
10 The trip on the sea was quite df-
ferent-no cities or states-nothing
but water, and more water. The
weather man gave ideal weather
those days and we boys were on deck
all the time watching the great ship,
which is one of the largest transports
going across the Atlantic, plow its
way thru the dark blue ocean without
being molested by the ''huns" un-
water boats. A French port was safe
ly reached and after a couple of days
the little French Pullman train took
us to the destination where we are
now located.
France, what l have seen of it, is
beautiful country. It is real hilly
or mountainous with many large deep
valleys and streams between them
which makes the scenery grand. The
roads are we'll made and have hard
surface but on account of war are not
travelled very much; most of the
travel on them now is by the u. s.
automobiles and teams
Harvesting has been going on here
for a couple of weeks. Some of the
grain is cut by hand with scythe and
| tieing With hand as the fields are
small. When it comes to gardens and
stock, the French people sure have
them. The gardens are we'll kept

great strife. By this time, there
must be quite large army in France
and in training camps in u. S. Young
men are, no doubt, scarce at home
these days with so many drafted TO-
