HARRY WISTRAND
Tells Of Dat Ties
Wounded East Chicago He
70 Was III Some Great
Fighting.

Harry wistrand. one Of East Chi
Cages popular boys. who was wound
ed in battle. has written his folks the
following interesting letter:
Dear Dad:
As tomorrow IS Fathers Day and we
are given the privilege of telling you
about our many battles. I thought
you'd be pleased to hear of them.
We were landed in France the lat
ter part of May and were immediate
ly rushed UP TO stop the Huns at Cha
teau Thierry and Bellau Wood. which
we certainly did. and believe me. Dad.
tho It was only my first battle, It was
sure some experience and 1 guess
never VIII forget it.
We made six different attacks in
the twenty-nine days we were there and
though our losses were heavy. the
Huns paid more than three times over.
Once while in BeIlau Wood we made
three attacks in one day. two OF them
without any barrage. so you can see
we had some pretty tough times.
We were relieved on the morning of
July 4th and went up to Scissors.
where We hit the Huns the morning of
July is. Up there two days and nights
and then advanced twenty kilometers.
captured 10000 prisoners. great guam
titles of ammunition and guns. so you
see we were determined on one thing
only-and that was to drive the Ger
mans out of France. which we have
finally done.
Our next battle was easy. for Heinie
retreated in great disorder.
This was up at St Mihiel in Sep
TENDER and our casualties We're very
small Here we captured between
twenty and twenty-five thousand pris-
oners. much munition and arms. also
many motor trucks. horses and wag-
ons.
our next battle was a bad one -
the Champagne Sector and Argonre
Forest. but we still continued to drive
the enemy. This happened October 8.
the day I was gassed severely and was
sent back to the hospital until just
the other day. when I left for a camp
for convaIescents and wounded, and
am now awaiting transportation back
to the States. Understand that am
to be invalided back on account of my
left eye. which IS very bad. indeed.
At that. and no k.ddins-much I
long for home and the good old Z. S
A.. / wish 1 might have been with the
fighting Fifth on their march into
Hunland and to cross the Rhine.
Do not answer this until you hear
from me again, for I'm pretty sure
iii be home for the holidays.
Love to YOU. to mother and the
girls

all highways in the state not taken
over by the federal or state govern
ments, be under the direct supervi-
sion OF the various counties. and that
the county governments be authorized
TO bond the counties to build coun-
wide systems of inter-township high
ways and that such bonds be paid for
BY all taxpayers of the county affected.
Sentiment to repeal the three-miIe
gravel road law was attacked by sew
eral at the meeting. and it seemed that
some action Will be taken to conserve
the good points of that law By incor-

and intelligent revision of the states
road program was dilated on by many
notable Hoosiers. In addresses TO the
meeting, and the war need for such re-
vision was shown in many instances
quoted. where the Hoosier road system
had broken down under the heavy
traffic of army trucks.

Stop Itching Eczema

Never mind how often you have tried
and -siled, you can stop burning itching
eczema quickly by applying little zemo
furnished by any druggist for 35c. Extra
large bottle, Sl.00. Healing begins the
moment zemo is applied. In a short time
usually every trace of eczema, letter,
pimples, rash, blackheads and similar
skin diseases viii be removed.
For clearing the skin and making it
vigorously healthy, always use zemo, the
penetrating, antiseptic liquid. 1t is not a
greasy salve and it does not stain. Whsn
others fail it is the one dependable treat
ment for skin troubles of all kinds.

ARCHITECTURAL IDEAS.
From the standpoint of design. the
architect has considered the develop
ment as a whole and not as a group OF
unrelated houses differing widely in
type and design. and has endeavored TO
gain an attractive effect mainly by vari
alton in mass. The object has been to
maintain simple. straightforward lines
unbroken roofs and cornice lines.
The variation ~ the design of the
houses with the different materials en-
ployed has given a variety to the en-
semble which has no element of mo-
notony. All frame houses are sided
with wide rough clapboards Of white
pine. stained with silver gray stain.
They are trimmed with cornices, sash.
and doors. and frames and lattices of
porches in white, ana topped with roofs
the color of sea green slate. Brick
houses are faced with dark purple red
brick, laid with rough joints, and trim
med with white cornices.
