more carefully than real soldiers. They

enabled surprises to be brought off as
well as avoided. As liason agents
they are invaluable, while as ammuni-

JUST LIKE TIMES OF PEACE
Correspondent Finds That In Warfare
1t Is the "LittIe Things" That
Really Count.

A few hundred yards to the rear we
came upon soldier sitting on stump.
From the waist up he was as naked as
skinned rabbit In his hand he held
his shirt turned inside out, and he was
studying the garment as intently as a
young son of one OF the best families
stealing chapter Of forbidden dime
novel, But the expression was more
that n man digesting bad news.
"What are you doing, SOM" the cap
tain called out.
The soldier on the stump slowly
raised his eyes and looked us over. His
expression was that Of detached and
world-weary man breaking under the
burden Of secret sorrow. We didn't
seem to ease his mind much, for he
sighed deeply and returned to his in
tent inspection.
"I'm readin' over the personal col
hmn o. my shirt to see II there were
any new arrivals las night" he an
swered the captains question finally.

"Are you finding any?"
"Findin' any? I amt lost any yet!'
He raised his tired eyes and studied
me carefully.

"Yes."

"Well, listen. Did old General Mis-

Jonah Vark.

Well AL one of the burgs along
the line is where Jonah Vark was
born when she was alive. 1t seems
like France was mixed up In another
war along about one hundred years
ago and they was getting licked and
Jonah was just a young gal but she
dressed up in mems coat and pants
and went up to the front and led the
charges with q horse and she carried
a white flag and the Dutchmens or
whoever they was fighting against
must of thought it was flag of tru-
ants and anyway they didn't fire Mt
them and the French captured New
Orleans and win the war. The Ger
mans is trying to pull the same stuff
on our boys now and lots of times
they run up and holler Conrad like
they was going to give up and when
your back IS turned they whang away

But everyone living in Prescott knows that this is one of the dusty cities we read about. We don't want to prolong the agony of eating dust together with all other filth which mingles with it on the street when the problem can be solved by the cooperation of the residents and business men by a small contribution each month to have the work done and the water is offered free of charge by the Prescott Ice Go.

FARM HAND STRAYS .
FROM NARROW PATH
ABUSES LAW OF HOSPITALITY
AND BREAKS SEVENTH -
COMMANDMENT
ROBS HIS GUESTS AND DEPARTS
MINIONS OF LAW BRING
HIM BACK

Booze got the better of one of the best
workmen in the county Saturday night
when he came to Sleepy Eye to relax
little from his heavy farm labors
The man affected by the booze while
on his holiday was John Schmidt, a
farm laborer employed near Sanborn.
Schmidt had put in a hard weeks work
and decided to spend the Sunday at
Sleepy Eye. He went down Saturday
for this purpose and late at night
met Mr.. Honl, father of Ed. Honl of
this city, and an employee of the Leona
Hotel. Mr.. Honl had been locked out
OF the hotel by mistake and Schmidt
kindly offered him quarters in room
which he had hired for the night in a
building belonging to the Leona House
but separate from the main building.
Important Business
Mr.. Honl gratefully accepted and went
peacefully to sleep with his host. His
host, however, had something more
important to do than to sleep and as
soon as the quiet breathing OF his guest
assured him that he would be free from
interruption, he proceeded to 60 thru
the old genleman's pockets. In his
search he found watch and some money
and Mr.. Honl's shoes fitted him so well
that he decided to take them along also
and when he had acquired everything
he thot he could make use of he babe his
guest silent farewell and faded away
into the shadows OF the night via the
midnight freight going west.
Mr.. Honl Registers Kick
Mr.. Honl did not like that kind Of
hospitality and made complaint to the
authorities who followed the fellow and
finding him, brot him to Sleepy Eye
where he was taken before Justice
Cutting and fined $50 and costs, with
the alternative of go days in jail. Lack
ing the funds he was brot to New Ulm
Monday afternoon to mediate upon
the peculiar things man will do when
he has a load on. 50. ..... . -. -
Employer Pays Fine
The man for whom he worked at
Sanborn, however, did not fancy the
idea of losing the services of so valuable
man and he came to New Ulm and paid
the fine and took Schmidt back home with
him.
1t seems Schmidt had done just about
such trick once before and the fault
seems to lie with booze entirely as he
is very good workman.

RED CROSS PLANS
FORHAG DAY HERE
SAVE YOUR DIME FOR THE GIRL
WHO PINS ATAG ON YOUR -z..~
MANLY BREAST
AND DON'T WORRY IF MORE
THAN ONE GIRL GETS YOUR
SHINING DIMES

Members of the Red Cross are ar
ranging for Tag Day to be held in New
Ulm on the occasion Of the leaving of
the next draft contingent which will be
some time between the 22nd and the 26th
of this month. The idea of taking ad-
vantage of this occasion when SO many
people are in New Ulm to see the boys
60 originated with Mrs. Ida Ozias and
She and other Red Cross workers are
enthusiastically preparing their forces
for the drive against the supply of dimes
in the city.
Each tag will cost only dime, and,
of course, everyone will wear a tag.
This will mean quite a considerable
sum to go into the Golfers of the Red
Cross for their mercy work. Everybody
now should put away a dime in some
certain pocket and keep it there, so that
when a pretty girl steps up to him and
pins a tag on his coat he will know just
where to find the dime to pay for it.
Ladies are not exempt, either, since
nowadays they have almost as many
pockets as the gentlemen and they will
be expected to dig down and produce
the shining silver piece which will pay
for their tag.
The sum asked is not too much for
the children and probably they will be
just as anxious to display their tags as
the grownups are.
There is nothing whatever to prevent
everyone from putting away two dimes
if he likes or three or more, in. fact the
more he puts away the more merrily
they will jingle in the secret pockets and
the more tags they will purchase, the
more pretty girls will be made happy,
the more smiles will be seen to chase
away the gloom caused by the departure
of the boys. A dime is not much to
pay for a smile, now, is it? Especially
when the smiler is one of New Ulm's
pretty young girls.

CHILD DIES OF LOCKJAW.

Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Christensen mourn
the loss Of their three year old son
Vernon Frederick who died Saturday
morning at 5:34 from tetanus. He was
born here in New Ulm, April ID, 1915.
June II, while outside playing, he found
a broken bottle. He threw it away and
in doing so he cut a cash in one Of his
fingers. The wound was carefully wash
ed at the time, but evidently the virus
of the poison had gotten into the blood
before then. The boy appeared to be
in his usual good health until Monday
evening when he complained Of not feel
ing well. His condition grew rapidly
worse until the end came. The funeral
was held Sunday afternoon. Prof. Ack-
ermann oficiated at the house and also
at the Rice Lake Lutheran Church IN
the Town of Linden. The remains
were laid to rest in the Rice Lake Gene
terry.

Where The Bombs Fall

mans. Women and children had
gathered what few belongings they
could convey and were walking along
the road and pathways, trying to reach
the station, hoping to go somewhere,
anywhere, that would afford safety.
They used wheelbarrows, baby carts,
top wagons - anything with wheels
that would carry load, large or small.
AS the morning wore on, passen-
gers began to leave, the train. One
man, with important papers that he
didn't want the Germans to get, caught
a train to Paris, with plan Of reach
ing London by way. Of Havre; we were
going by way Of Boulogne. i
Hunger came with the noontime,
and we left the train to hunt food,
which we found after walk OF about
two miles. A house had been aban-
doned and with it some bread and a
dish of salmon which we appropriated.

We left Paris at II o'clock on the
Tuesday evening following the open
ing of the great battle on the western
front.
Unable to cut off the railway COM
munication at Amiens with their land
forces the Germans had sent airplanes
over to blow up the railway station
and tracks, to interrupt the traffic.
Bombs had been dropped in many
places. One hit the train that left
Paris four hours ahead of us, and an
other had hit the track just ahead of
us, SO that when dawn came we were
stranded about three miles from Amiens:
Looking out of the window we could
see airplanes flying back and forth,
singly, in pairs and three or fours. -
All along the highways people we're
fleeing before the onrush OF the Ger
