We knew It was a German by the black
leather boot. One of our crew used
that foot to hang extra bandoliers OF
ammunition on. This man always was
a handy fellow; made use Of little
points that the ordinary person would
overlook.
The Germans made three counter
attacks. which we repulsed. but not
without heavy loss on our side. They
also suffered severely from our shell
and machine-gun fire. The ground was
spotted with their dead and dying.
The next day things were somewhat
Quieter. but not quiet enough to bury
the dead.
We lived. ate and slept In that trench
with the unburied dead for six days.
1t was awful to watch their faces be-
come swollen and discolored. Towards
the last the stencil was fierce.
What got on my nerves the most was
that foot sticking out Of the dirt. 1t

light, to be trying to twist around.

for little nap, as things were quiet,

When I woke up the foot was gone.
He had cut 1t off with our chain saw
out of the spare parts box. and had
plastered the stump over with mud.

before we were relieved, missed that
foot dreadfully; seemed us IL 1 had

watch the rats, at night. and some
times In the day, run over and play
about among the dead.
Near our gun, right across the para.

which were hanging into our trench
The man who had cut of the foot used
to sit and carry on a one-sided conver
sation with this officer, used to argue
and point out why Germany was In the
wrong. During oil Of this monologue

the way-anything that would have
hurt the officers feelings had he been
alive. He was square all right;
wouldn't even take advantage of

Among these new silk suits there is
one having coat with three nounces

DIRECT DEALERS
TO CANDLE EGGS

H. w. Gilbert, federal food admins
traitor for Wayne county has just re-
ceived bulletin which refers to the
wholesale dealers in poultry and eggs.
All retail grocers and all hucksters
who buy eggs from farmers for sale
to shippers or commission men must
Immediately obtain a license from the

Law Dept. Washington, d. c.. stating
when applying for this license that
they want an egg license only.
All persons selling eggs in case

ensed egg dealer will be permitted to
buy eggs from an unlicensed dealer.
The container of these eggs when
shipped or delivered to the dealer
must have signed certificate, giving
the license number, showing the name
of the Gambler and date on which eggs
were candled These certificates can
be obtained from William Locke. sec
rotary of the Indiana Egg Dealers as
ISOLATION, at Indianapolis.
The sale of bad eggs is a violation
of the pure food law of the state and
the original producer win be held re-
.sponsible under the law, therefore it
will be necessary for the farmer to
see that the deliveries to the grocer
or their place of trading are all fresh
eggs. The sale of eggs on the loss-off
basis is abolished and the new rules
and regulations relative to the can
ding of eggs properly will come into
effect June Is.
The rules and regulations specific
ally states that no bad eggs are to be
sold by anyone. The penalty is quite
severe. All dealers should watch very
carefully and see that their eggs are
candled before being delivered to the
consumer.
The county food administrator sug-
gests that all dealers make a mem
orandum of this matter and procure
their license Immediately. as well as
their certificates so that they may
continue handling their eggs.

DO NOT BUTCHER The
YCUNG FEMALE STOCK
Poor Practice, IN Spite of the Present
High Prices.

The prices obtainable for cattle and
hogs at the present time offer great
temptation to sell, even the female
stock, that is hard to overcome. And
yet il we give little thought to the
future. ones better judgment would
certainly suggest the retention Of a
sufficient number of the younger fe-
male animals to maintain the supply
and meet the demand for next year
at least, il not for longer.
The writer is led to make this sug-
gestion from information received
that 81 eat numbers of cattle and hogs
are being sent out of the state, ire
spectlve of sex, Cue no doubt to the
profitable prices that can at present
be had for them. There is an old
saying that money counts" but how
long is it going to count" If our
stockmen dispose of their female
foundation and afterwards find out
when too late that they have deprived
themselves of the necessary females
to breed from and are short of stock
to sell another year when prices will
be Just as high, II not higher?
II this practice ia persisted in it is
going to result in shortage of meat
animals when they may be needed
even more than at the present time.
In other words, it is not going to con-
serve the meat supply nor is it ulti-
mately going to be the most profit
able to our stock owners.
It may be all right to get rid Of a
reasonable number of the old and I'M
profitable female stuff, but there
should be a rigid line drawn at the
younger female stock II we hope to
maintain and increase the supply and
meet the future demands for meat
animals whic' seems not only the
common sense proposition, but pa
trictic and profitable one.-W. Fl.
