way that the Commodore had given
the British a dickens of a licking, but
we couldn't have told for the life Of
us whether the scene of this pleasant
incident was laid in the Dead Sea or
Lake Okeechobee; and you needn't
laugh, durn ye-you didn't, ither! But
IL was right here at Put-in-Bay that
Perry handed the British fleet that
wallop, and there is a towering mon
ument erected on the island to com
memorate the fact.
Putin Bay is said to have gone
down somewhat as a resort; but it
woefully neglected to take prices
down with it. 1t is a pleasant enough
place; has one big hotel and numer-
GUS smaller ones, with boarding
houses, cheap but high-priced restaur-
ants, carnival spielers, etc. There are
many acres of grapes on the island;
and there is tradition that some one
caught fish from the adjacent wa
tiers once. The island is honeycombed
with caves, some of them of consid-
cradle size. These are visited by
many people; but we never did care
much about hole in the ground.
Going north from Detroit, palatial
steamers carry passengers up the De-
troit river into Lake ST. Clair, then
up the st. Clair river into Lake HUI
ron. Canada is on one side, and the
Michigan shore on the other; and the
boat makes frequent stops on either
sides. We got off and spent while
at Sarnia, quiet colonial town of
Ontario The most important point
on this trip is Port Huron, very
pretty and thriving Michigan town.
The trip north from Detroit is full
of interest. The water grows green

WAYSIDE MUSINGS

All through Ohio the crops are fine,
and everything looks prosperous and
promising. Wheat made a splendid
yield, there is a good crop of oats and
corn is in excellent condition. The
same may be said of conditions in
Kentucky, but a couple Of weeks ago
a drought was threatened there. We
happened to drop into church and
prayers for rain were being offered

it raned next day, and several times
since. As have said, we are modest,
and maybe it would have rained any
how; but we point with pride to the
fact that we never prayed for rain in
cur life, but that it rained Sometimes,
perhaps it was little slow about it;
but eventually it did rain. It never
failed. Can you beat that record?
We had hoped to be able on our re-
turn to join in the chorus set up by
all loyal Lakelanders when they get
back from trip, to the effect that we
suffered from heat, and are glad to be
back to cool off, etc. Having been
born, however, with the great natural
handicap of inability to tell lie, we
are forced to confess that throughout

Call to All of Us

The conmander-in-chief Of our army and navy
comes forth with the definite opinion that with
supreme effort this spring and SUMNER this year
will see thb end Of the war; He knows, better than
any other American, our condition and the condi-
tons in adversary countries, and he would not offer
us this glorious hope had he not strong grounds
for faith in it,
In Gods name lot us make that supreme effort
and save the world from another winter OF univer-
sal, unprecedented human misery and lossl
If President Wilson asks one mcatlcss meal, let's
give him two. IL he asks one wheatlcss day, let's
give him three If he orders coallcss Mondays that
our sodrs 5000 miles away may feed as well rs
fight, let S put very best face on it and DO our
very best. If we've bought one Liberty bond, let's
save and buy another. If we've knit one pair OF
socks or one sweater, let's knit two If we've been
trying to hold on to business usual let's make it
business unusual for awhile.
Our supreme effort means life instead of starva-
ton to millions of the poor of Europe. 1t means
saving of the lives of thousands of brave boys
at the front. It means return to normal home
life and busincss-life.
In effect, our president puts all Of us in battle
array The enemy is before u.s. The decision is to
be made The test is upon u.s.. And if we are re-
crcant we, and the whole civilized world with us,
70 under the mercilcss heel of militarsm. 1t shall
not be!
We are ready, Mr.. President! Would you have
more menu They are yours. More billionsf We
save More foodstuffsa We will produce and sac
rifice. More loyaltyf The hope YOU put in us in
spires greater sentiment than patriotism-the de-
termination to strike for and save brothers thru
out the whole world. Ask and we will give. Seek,
and We shall find all within reach of your hand!
Peace, honorable humane peace, this year? May
the Almighty put the power for it in our supreme

TRY THIS IF YOU
HAVE DANDRUFF

There is one sure way that
never fails to remove dandruff
completely and that Is to dissolve
It. This destroys it entirely. To
do this, just get about four ounces
of plain, ordinary liquid arvon; ap-
ply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and
rub 1t in gently with the finger
tips.
BY morning. most II not all, Of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications
will completely dissolve and en-.
tirsly destroy every single sign
and tract of 1t. no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itch.
Ing and digging of the scalp will
stop instantly, and your hair will
be fluffy. lustrous, glossy, silky
and soft, and look and feel o hum
dred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. II is inexpensive, and
four ounces is all you. will need.
This simple remedy has never been
known to fail.

there was nothing that could be
done for him, Pvt. Campbell,

When first he drilled at this
camp he wore the uniform of the

quartermaster issued blouses he
wore an English army hat, Amer

Gradually as one bit of equip

discarded the Canadian khaki for

Dear Miss Grey: Maybe trous-

and one certainly has a right to
wear them there. or around
home, but to be adopted for
street or dress wear, never!
And let me say right here:
Hobble skirts. low necks, etc,
spoken OF, would never be con-
sidered fashionable II women
wouldn't wear them. You can't
expect a clothier to stop maxi
ing atrocious styles as long as
there are foolish women to buy
them. But IL every woman
would refuse to wear them. they
would HAVE to stop making
them.
Simply because we are OBJ
tanning more freedom and

our equality to man by wearing
pants. Why not strike a

During the Mexican rumpus
Pvt. Campbell was Capt. Camp
bell of the Mexican Federalists.
Things got rather warm in his sec
ton when the marines landed in
Vera Cruz.
So one night he went over the
hill" and landed in Ell Paso-
broke.
Returns to Seattle.
Then he went home to Seattle,
and not having had enough fight
ing, went from there to Vancou-
yer, B. C.
There, on Aug. %, about two
weeks after war was declared, he
signed his name along the dotty
line on the kings enlistment
blank.
At that time he discovered he
was born in Seattle, Province of
Ontario, Dominion of Canada. The
English army didn't enlist Ameri-
cans.
He left almost Immediately for
England on horse transport and
was a chambermaid to 500 ami
mails for 81 days. That was in
the days when ruthless warfare
was unknown and the Hun tor
pedo almost unheard of.
Nevertheless a sub fired on the
boat and the torpedo missed the
ship a half a yard. Pvt. Campbell
is glad it did.
Six weeks training in England
and five weeks more in Dicke-
bush, France, and his regiment
went into trenches.
Goes to Verdun.
Trench life isn't as black as its
painted" he says. ut isn't the
incest existence in the world and
it's true that trenches and dug
outs are filthy things, but at the
same time it isn't all fighting. We
had four days in the trenches and
four days out of them. and it was
nine months before We went over
the top"
The Royal Engineers called for
volunteers, so Campbell left the
Seaforth Highlanders where he
had been assigned and went with
the Engineers to Verdun to dig
trenches.
The regiment started with H.
500 and returned with 200.
From Verdun he went to Vimy
/ Ridge and Lens, and he worked
around Hill $40 for some time,
digging trenches between shell
craters.
1t was then that he was made
first lieutenant in recognition
of his work as trench digger.
Back to Ranks!
Il went to London on fM
lough," he said. Got mixed II
/ in little fracas. and, back to
the ranks for mel"
1t was shortly after his return
to France that he rejoined his
Seaforth regiment and one day
in the midst of brisk little fight
he took off his gas respirator.
A gas shell dropped near him
and nice fresh hydrocyanic acid
gas came rolling forth.
"One Whit and things got
black and spotted before me-" he
said. MY arms and legs wouldn /
work. and then couple of day
later | woke up in a hospital and
fell in love with a pretty French
nurse"
1t was Feb. 9, 1917. that he
was given a furlough and return
