STAR FOOTBALL PLAYER

Footboll rooters at Westminster
| College, Fulton, Mo-, are pinning
their faith on Robert Lloyd, of Farm
ington, to develop into one of the best
players on the famous Blue Jay elev-
en- and his work in the preliminary
practice stamps him as young play
er of unusual ability and promise
Lloyd will experience the pleasure OF
battling against Central of Fayette
and William Jewell of Liberty, an
cient rivals of Westminster and teams
that the Fulton aggregation particu-
larly desire to defeat each year.
Coach w. Brewer Whitlow is not
positive yet where he will play the
Pennington High player. He says if
he can keep up the gait of the past
week Lloyd will have no trouble to
make a place on the team. Rivalry
will be keen for places on the eleven
because one of the biggest squads in
recent years is out for work.
Lloyd is enrolled in the student
military training corps and already
has done his share of drilling on his
toric Priest Field, the scene of many
hard-fought athletic battle and
which is now to witness the training
of scores of the brightest and best
young men of Missouri. About 300
boys are here now for the training
school and more are coming in on ev-
cry train. Lieutenant Henry L. Hass-
linger, of St. Charles, Ia, who is to
be the personal man of the post, has
arrived here and the commandant is
expected to arrive from New York
City the first of the week.
Lloyd is among the young recruits
who will be domiciled at one Of the
fraternity houses, which have been
turned over to the Government as
barracks and will be given his meals
at the college dormitory, which is 10
be used as the mess hall. An inspec-
ton of these buildings was made Sat-
urday by an army officer from Column
bia, Mo.
President Reed says Westminster
will have the biggest attendance in its
history this year. A Y. M. C. A. Sec
rotary will be sent here this week,
the enrolment in the training school
already having exceeded $50.

a night I have to get up and put my
mask on and keep it on half an hour.
1t busts fellows sleep all to pieces"
Another secretary in the same local
ity does his sleeping by day to the
tune of bursting shells, because it is
his job to supply the front line, and
he is not permitted to go up by day
light. He waits till dark and fills a
pack with cigarettes and chocolate,
and crawls to the ditch. His sleeping
place is little dugout at the edge of
a woods.
All along the big fight you find
secretaries who are living this way,
who are taking their chances with the
doughboys and living up to the Y. M.
C. A. motto: "Where the Army goes,
we CO."
The Commander in Chief of the
American Expeditionary Force was
visiting the wounded in hospital. AS
he passed down the corridor he saw
a young lady in a Y. M. C. A. uni
form dishing some substance out Of a
huge dish and placing it on little re-
ceptacles. He stopped to ask what
she was doing.
"Ice cream comes for the wounded"
she said.
The General shook her hand warm
ly and congratulated her and the As
ISOLATION on it's thoughtfulness in pro-
viding just the thing the wounded
would most enjoy.

MEANING OF YOUR SUBSCRIP
TIONS TO 4TH LIBERTY LOAN
What Is the Liberty Loan?

What Is the Liberty Loan?
It's forts and it's ships and it's shin
ing guns.
It's squadrons that sweep the sea.
It's all of the circling band of steel
That shall keep all the home shores
free.
It's grub and it's warmth for the sail
or lad
Far out on the wintry foam.
For the brave jack tar, as he fights
afar,
It's the good old Money from home"
What Is the Liberty Loan?
It's rife and helm and it's bayonet,
It's shovel and shot and shell
For the soldier boy in the olive drab,
Out there on the edge of hell.
It's the soaring wings Of the whir-
ring planes
That battle on high alone.
For the lad who is daring "over
there"
It's the good old money from home"
What Is the Liberty Loan?
It's succor and life for a bleeding
world.
It's the glimmer of peace at dawn.
It's the strength of mighty arm to
strike.
It's the CLEAN of a great sword,
drawn.
But, more than all, it's the pledge of
love
To the lads whom we call "Our own.
To the boys on land, afloat, on high,
It's the good old money from home"

quarters in Panama Canal Depart
ment, Ancon, c. 2. Col. Brady has
been in army service number of
years, and has been in his present To-
cation the past two years. He has
earned his several promotions by
close application and attention to duty.
Many friends of the family in this
community will be glad to learn of
his latest promotion, through merit
orious service. The newspaper clip
pings contain complimentary mention
of the esteem in which Provost Mar
shall Brady is held where he is best
known.
Mrs. Oscar Halle has received let
ter from her son, Leon, who was a
medical student in Washington Uni
versity, st. Louis, until he was recent
ly drawn for military training, and
has since been in the Officers Reserve,
Corps at Fort Sheridan, Illinois,
where he was recently offered COM
mission as End Lieutenant, which he
declined, owing to his desire to remain
with the Medical Reserve Corps.
Icons enthusiastic desire is to be per-
mitted to strike at least few blows
at the huns before their fighting days
are ended, and with that end in view
he proposes to enlist as a private, if
necessary to hurry the desired end.
He figures that his medical education
can be finished after his return, but
that the present opportunity to ''hit
the hun" is rapidly passing.
Sergeant L. Walter Dempsey, of
Flat River, who has been in active
service more than a year, and who
has had his turn with the huns in the
first-line trenches, recently returned
to this country with a number of
other officers, who will be placed on
duty in the different training camps
throughout the country as instruc-
tors for the boys in camp. Sergeant
Dempsey spent few days last week
at home, and favored many Farming
ton friends with brief visit He
left the last of the week for Los An
geles, where he asked to be given
work, and hopes to be permitted to
spend most of next winter in that
splendid climate As a general thing
promotion soon follows those who are
called back for war work at home.

AS good belEwethers always do.
And from that day, DER hill and glade
Through those old woods a path was
made.
And many men wound in and out
And lodged and turned and bent about
And uttered words of righteous wrath,
Because twas such a crooked path;
But still they followed - do not
laugh
The first migrations of that calf,
And through this winding wood-way
stalked
Because he wobbled when he walked.
This forest path became lane,
That bent and turned and turned
again;
This crooked lane became a road,
Where many poor horse with his
Toiled beneath the burning sun,
And travelled some three miles for
one.
And thus a century and a half
They trod the footsteps of that calf.
The years passed on in swiftness
fleet,
The road became village street;
And this before men were aware.
A city's crowded thoroughfare.
And soon the central street was this
OF a renowned metropolis;
And men two centuries and half
Trod in the footsteps of that calf.
Each day hundred thousand rout
Followed the zigzag calf about
And Ger his crooked journey went
The traffic of a continent.
A hundred thousand men were led
BY one calf near three centuries dead;
They followed still his crooked way,
And lost one hundred years day;
All, many things this tale might
teach
But ] am not ordained to preach!

A calf walked home as good calves
should.
But made trail all bent askew,
A crooked trail, as all calves do.
Since then three hundred years have
fed,
And / infer the calf is dead.
But still he left behind his train,

FULL OF CONFIDENCE

S. R. Turley has received the fol
lowing letter from his son, Lowell, who
writes in an optomistic view from
Somewhere in France, Sept. 9th, 1918
Dearest Dad:--At last am settled
for few days more. We have GER.
tainly done some moving during the
past few weeks and believe / have
done more than any one else.
am glad to say though that we
have at last reached our place in the
front line. A few days ago was
standing on nearby hill where
could see both the enemy trenches and
my own.
/ have seen several anti-air craft
guns in action and watched with pleas
ure the attack on a Boche plane. The
plane apparently got away in fine
shape but the shells sure came close
to it. They seemed to fly at pretty
high elevation and | suppose it is well
that they do.
We are busy most all the time, but
after all war does not seem as bad as
you might think. l see a few wound
ed coming in now and then, but never
over one at time. | am tickled to
death that we have at last an oppor-
tunity to show our skill in the line.
1t would have seemed unfair if they
had kept us back in the service of
supplies until the end of the war.
There are quite a few boys in this
division that knew at Alabama Pol
.yteclinic Institute.
| am now commanding the Head
quarters Detachment 31S Engineers and
located at Division headquarters SO
you will understand that | am not
right in the front lines though have
been pretty close up.
You remember the Hopper boys who
lived in North Alabama where you
made headquarters year or two ago.
One of them is a second Lieutenant in
the Quartermaster' Corps and has his
office just next to mine.
At another place | ran across Bill
Harris, an Anburnite, who belongs to
our brigade headquarters.
This is about the most beautiful
country that you have ever looked at.
We are in the heart of the mountains
and in a summer resort where people
from all over the world come. The
lakes and mountains are simply grand.
These are about the best roads that l
ever saw in my life.
would like very much to tell you
some of the things that are happening
each and every day, but will have to
wait until after we lick the Kaiser.
From all reports it will not take a
great while longer.
am getting along fine and this
