VIM. NJ Pogue, of this town, was
elected to the presidency of the

covers four states and represents a

The newly-elected president in his
message to the Association, which is
published in the Eastern Dealer, the
official organ, together with an ex-
cellent photo, says, among other
things:
zone thought emphasized through
out the convention was the placing
of labor-saving machines in the
heartily approve of this, but it will
be impossible with large percent
age of our farmers to produce and
harvest the crops we so much need,
chimes as they can afford to buy,
unless they have help. I therefore
suggest that we, as patriotic citizens,
make our places of business head
quarters for farm labor; make every
effort to keep in touch with any or
all county, State or national author
tiles which have for their purpose
distribution of farm labor, and see
to it that our particular section has
its proper proportion.
1--WE also owe the farmer our sup
port and cooperation in helping him
place the prices Of his products on an
equal basis with munitions and ether
war essentials"

NEW FORM OF CONFESSION.
Ingenious Way Used by Soldiers in
Confessing to French Priest
Printed List Used.

Rev. Father Smythe, of Tennally-
town, has devoted himself to the care
of the Catholic soldiers in camp
there. He likes them, and, as love
begets love, they can not help but like
him. After they go over to France,
many of them write to him. One of
them, Michael Nugent, of the Sixth
Regiment of Engineers, has written:
1--WE are now billeted in French
village not too near the big guns. Our
troops are conducting themselves in
such a way that they are a credit to
the homes they came from. It will go
hard with any man who spoils that
start"
Another one of those American SOL
diers in France thus describes their
ingenious way of confessing to French
priests:
II am very lucky to be near Cath
olic church. The priest can't talk the
American language, but we found a
way to go to confession and COM
munlon last Sunday We got long
list of sins written out in English, and
alongside in French. We point to the
different sins we commit and the
priest understands. He is very oblig-
ing man."

CAMP DODGE NEWS
Camp Dodge, Iowa,

June IL, 1918.
Civil War veterans attending the
forty-fourth annual encampment of the
G. A. r. at Des Moines, last week, were
interested visitors at the Camp. They
were keen to see for themselves the
modern methods of training and make
comparisons with what they exper-
fenced in the war of 81. They mar.
yelled at the social service features,
noting the excellent worth of such in
stitutions as the Y. NJ. C. A., Lutheran
Brotherhood and Knights of Columbus
buildings. Our main building was the
rendezvous for the great majority as it
afforded resting place for the vet
Grams after the strenuous trip to the
Camp. They enjoyed talking with the
boys, watch them make use of the IA
cilities offered, such as letter writing,
library, etc. Our boys were proud to
have the veterans amongst them, as
was evidenced by the prompt salute
rendered when a Civil War hero hove
in sight. The visit was an inspiration
to all of us as the men of 81 are living
embodiments Of the spirit of self-sac-
rifice
Our General Secretary is now busy
in fitting up social service quarters at
Fort Des Moines. There we will have
section of one of the barracks, about
2Ox40 feet, reserved for the work. A
field secretary will be installed who
will devote his entire time to that par
ticular field. There are about 400
patients there at present, comprising
both chronic and convalescent, whilst
the entire Fort has population of
about 1900. Lieutenant Colonel Todd,
Communicating Chief, is very pleased to
have the work taken up and pledges
cooperation in every detail.
Despite the excessive heat, intensive
training in all departments is now the
order of the day. The daily schedule
begins with the first call" at 5:45 a.
M, and lasts until $50 p. m. At that
there is no complaint on the part of
the men. They are thoroughly embued
with the idea that it is their patriotic
duty to train as rapidly as possible and
tit themselves for service in France.
In fact the spirit of the SSth division
is to go "over the top" officers and
men keenly anxious to know how soon
they are going cover there Time
and again we see long columns of COM
panes return evenings from the daily
drill on the field, some two miles dis
lance from quarters, and still exhibit
plenty of pep" and enthusiasm. Songs,
cheers, and yells by entire companies
warn. the cooks that the hungry men
are coming and will soon be ready for
further drill astronomical in the
mess halls.
A new departure last week proved
highly successful, the holding of our
weekly athletic exhibition in the open
air. A permanent platform is now
erected in the space betwixt our main
building and Y. M. C. A. Auditorium.
Thursday evening fully two thousand
enjoyed several we'll contested boxing
exhibitions. Without q doubt the man.
ly art of boxing is the strong attraction
for the boys. Moreover, it is right in
line with war-training, teaching the
boys a popular way how to encounter
the enemy.
Sunday last the usual eight Masses
were celebrated, the number of Com
munions being two hundred and fifty.
Fraternally yours in Christ,
