Farm Bureaus Relieve Hay Shortage.

Farm Bureaus Relieve Hay Shortage.
A hay shortage in the Cascade
mountains, which seriously threatened
the dairy industry of Washington,
has been tided over by the county
agents of the state working through
their farm bureaus. Committees of
the farm bureaus in regions where
hay was scarce went into neighboring
localities where it was more plentiful
and did the actual buying. In this
way the county agents of several coun-
ties assisted the farmers to purchase
as high as 1900 tons, and through

HOBBLE HOME SMILING:
GLORY ENOUGH TO
LICK" THE GERMANS.

New YOrk-Borne on stretchers or
hobbling on crutches, 396 more
wounded soldiers, representing almost
as many units of the American expe-
dictionary forces, landed on Yankee
soil again Thursday from the United
States hospital ship Mercy The yes
sci reached quarantine last night from
Bordeaux and locked this forenoon.
Notwithstanding mutilations, un-
equaled wounds and long suffering.
there was scarcely soldier among
them who did not have CHEEKY coun-
tenance and a tale to tell proudly of
how we licked the Germans
With his right arm gone and his
right leg paralyzed, Lieut.. A. P. Con-
over, San Francisco, Co. L. Fifty
ninth regulars, said: 1T happened
July 20, at $50 a. m. at Scissors. We
had pushed through the Germans for
four miles. Shrapnel and machine
gun ullets are what stopped me. but
embraced the life of soldier and
all that comes with it. This is just
the fortune of war"
Nothing that anybody can say can
convey an adequate conception of the
bravery of the Marines said Lieut..
Col. John A. Hughes of the Sixth
marines, who was wounded twice in
the leg and wears the French war
medal and the d. S. C.
German prisoners told me that it
was freely admitted by their officers
that it was the marines that prevent
ed the Germans from getting to Par
is. 1t was at ST. Mihiel that | got
banged up, but I've got nothing to
kick about. The soldier knows what
to expect. What did I get my decora-
tons for? Well, suppose I did
something or other, but I'll be blam-
ed if I know what it was"
Some of the other wounded aboard
the Mercy were: Private Harry G..
Kessen, Birnamwood, Wis, 127th in
fantry, hit in left hip by machine gun
bullet at SCISSORS, Sept 1; Capt.
Wardlaw Miles, 3OSth infantry, for
merly professor of English at Prince
ton university, wounded in the right
arm and leg while leading his COM
pany across the Aisne river.

QUICK SPREADING SAVES
20 PER CENT OF MANURE.

with manure worth So ton, it is
essential that the whole amount be
conserved by hauling it right from
the barn to the field which is to go
into corn next spring" says Emil
Troug of the soils department of the
University of Wisconsin.
This statement is not true for the
specialized farmer who has rough or
billy land from which the manure
will wash off before planting time
On the billy farm the manure should
be carefully saved under sheds or in
manure pits and then used next
spring on acres sown to corn. 1t
has been estimated that at least one
third the value per ton of manure
is lost by Improper care, such as
dumping the fertilizer outside and al
lowing it to remain there and leach
over winter.
tThe specialized farmer, such as
the truck gardener, can probably
make the best use of the manure by
composing it. The we'll rotted ma
nure of the compost pile will supply
best the requirements of the garden

Dear Sister,
Well how is everybody in the good
old u. S. by this time? | am fine and
sitting in the sun writing this and
smoking my pipe. We think a quite
a bit of this Sunday as it is the first
one we have had for a long time. We
generally move on Sunday. Have
been at this place a week now and
that is about as long as we have stay
ed in one place since we have been in
France. Have the folks moved up
town yet? / guess there is no need
of asking questions as we don't get
any mail. / know you have all been
writing. 1 got mail only once but
guess l told you that in my last let
ter unless all my letters go where
yours all CO. / hope not for l write
to some of you twice week. Wrote
to Emil the other day. Well the war
is sure over but don't look for me
home too soon III l get home by
spring I'll do pretty good. We were
about the last ones here and it is no
more than fair that we should be the
last ones home, but one can't tell.
will let you know if | can so you can
have a good dinner. Ha! Ha! we
are drilling every day so you see they
will make soldiers out of us yet. We
can get some New York papers here
and l read that all the boys are go
ing to be mustered out of the camps
in the States in few weeks so guess
Art Wagner will be among them ana
Emil too if he passed at Plattevllle.
You said he didn't pass at Lancaster
but didn't say if he passed at Platte
Vile. The French people are good to
us but 1 can't talk French to save
nv soul. l understand some OF 1t
and they can understand English so
we get along real good. had some

THE STORM|NG 32ND.
HOW THE WISCONSIN BOYS BAT
tiled THE BOOBIES AND WON
ETERNAL FAME-TRUTH OUT.

The inner story of the war and how
American troops proved themselves
on European soil is beginning to
come out. The following article tells
what the 32nd division composed of
Wisconsin and Michigan troops did
to win the battle of Democracy:
When the American army of occu-
patton started its march toward the
Rhine of November IL, one of our
crack divisions, the Thirty-second,
was celebrating an anniversary.
Plant Flag in AlSace.
Just six months before this division
first planted the American flag on
German soil in Alsace. On May 10,
Wisconsin and Michigan men came
under shell fire, and from that date
till November IL the division has out
ranged the Boche guns. Only ten days
after it's turn in the trenches the
Thirty-second chased the Boche from
the Ourcq to the Vesle
North of Scissors.
Then 1t went to a sector north of
Scissors and stormed Juvigny Plateau
fighting side by side with the heroic
"poilus" of General Mangin. After
that victory with the French it had a
rest of ten days before getting ready
for the final drive. The American
army's scrap north of Verdun was
ut three days old when the Thirty
second went in and for the next three
days the Wisconsin and Michigan boys
battled the Boche for Kreimhilde
Stellung.
Take Key Position.
It was they who finally broke
through the key position of La Dame
Marie, from which they then pushed
on to Freya Stellung, pushing the
Boche gunners out of Bantheville
Wood. They carried the line up to
the point where the final attack, on
November /, was launched, and fol-
lowed in support of the divisions
which crossed the Mouse at Dun and
captured Stenay
Last Few DAYS.
In the last few days of the war,
the Thirty-second went into line in
the Muese bridgehead sector, and with
the French were in the midst of an
attack when the armistice stopped
fighting. During the war the divi-
sion has fought on five fronts
Alsace, the Vesle, Scissors, Argonne
and the Meuse-and has fought twen-
ty of Germany's best divisions, among
them the Prussian Guards. 1t has
never yielded yard of ground to
the enemy's counter-attacks.
