We got clean up to their wire be-

Instantly the Very" lights began to

more parties farther down the line.
When the machine guns started we
charged. Jerry and / were ahead as
bayonet men with the rest of the party

1t was pretty light. there were so
many flares going US from both sides
When I Jumped on the parapet there
was a whaling big Bochs looking up

Anyhow I went down and in on him,

PLUNGED INTO GERMAN TRENCH
Jerry had done his man In and all
hands piled into the trench.
Then we started to race along the
traverses. We found a machine gun
and put an eIsyen-pound high explo-
sire stokes" under IL. Three or four
Germans appeared running down COM
munication trenches and the bombers
sent few Millses after them. Then
we came TO dugout door-in fact,
several. as Fritz, like woodchuck,
always has more than one entrance to
his burrow We broke these in in
Jig time and looked down a c0-foot
hole on dugout full OF graybacks
There must have been a lot of them. I
could plainly see four or I'VE faces
looking up with surprised expressions.
Blofeld chucked in two or three
Milses and away we went
A little farther along we came to
the entrance of mine shaft. kind

Blofeld went in 1t little way and
flashed his light. He thought IL was

In that and wrecked It.

Stop The Farm Leaks.

Every one knows what happens
when water is put into a barrel
that has stood empty in the sun
for a while. The water leaks
out between the slaves. Many
manufacturers hire men to study
out ways of stopping such leaks
in their business. 1t is said that
a well-known automobile COM
pany offers a small fortune to
any man who will save a few
cents in the cost of building
prominent parts of an auto. Just
so in farming. The most sue
cessful farmeris the one who is
the best organized, which is best
adapted to conditions, and has
the fewest leaks" Every dairy
farmer knows the Babcock tests
show how much butter fat is in
a cows milk.

Miss Anna Gill, a student
nurse at the Roaring Spring
hospital, has been granted an
unusual award as compensation
for injuries sustained when she
fell on some ice and fractured a
knee cap. The rules of the hos

spend a portion of each day in
outdoor exercises, and Miss Gill
was thus engaged when hurt.
The award was made on the
grounds that, while she was not
working at the institution, she
was performing duties required
by the hospital management.
