There are two all-absorbing ques- tions with us now: Whats going on at the front and when will it (what- ever "it' is) rain? Monday after noon was very interesting time here
 everyone interested in trying to keep the sand out of ears, eyes, nose and throat. The only successful me- thod was to remain indoors with all windows securely closed.
 Buddy Penix and family, with Mrs. Van, spent Sunday with J. W. Lind ley, remaining till after supper. When these town folks get a chance at good, square county fare they naturally "hang on', don't they Buddy?
 Mrs. Gardner is at Batesville this week, where her daughter, Mrs. J. H.. flanders, underwent an operation Monday morning. Mir. Landers re- ported by phone that the operation was successful, and that Mrs. Lan- ders was doing nicely.

Some apprehension lest it fail to come up we'll, as ground is extremely dry. Some meeting that condition by har- rowing, rolling or dragging, to better pulverize, and preserve the moisture.
 Seems a good plan, and well worth trying. Much talk about the next Liberty Loan campaign, and many more people than heretofore expecting to invest in Uncle Sam's. securities. Where could one find an investment better secured? If we lose faith in the government, we simply lose faith in ourselves.

NOW, WOULDN'T IT MAKE YOU
 SORE,

Last night Major Massie during the course of his address found occas- ion to strike the table by which he < stood several times with his war < hardened fist. These blows came in \ emphasis of his stirring appeal for the. people to DO SOMETHING. It showed that the major is hardly sat B isfied with what we are doing.
 We will say, just for instance, that you are soldier just back from the western front. You have faced the hun in more than one bloody battle. You have seen your comrades fall at your side and their souls waited from this earth. You have, yourself, pass ga through the shadow of death more than one time, laid in hospital, wounded, with the chances for recov- cry working against you every min ute.
 Now, you pay visit to this coun- try to find what we all see every day, find people going about almost as usual, having good time and ap- parently not caring about anything but personal pleasure.
 Now, wouldn't that make you just little bit sore? We all think we are doing lot, but we are doing little compared with what we should do. We have all bought a few Thrift AStamps, few Bonds, given some thing to the Red Cross, Y. M. c. A. and answered other calls. All of which is all right as far as it has gone.
 There are many persons in New port and Jackson county who ought to members of the Limit Club. There are many of us who should give more to everything that will help win the war. Let's not wait for casualty list to wake us up, but DO THINGS NOW.
 Damn your bit; do your utmost" is what Major Massie said last night when he spoke of how disgusting it is for soldier at the front to hear that the people of America are doing their bit.

k,ra IA the trenches, because our CUE.
fits were nowhere near each other, but
whenever we were in billets at the
same time, we were together as much
as possible.
Brown was funny card and I never
saw anyone else much like him. A
big, tall, red-headed, dopey-looking fell
low, never saying much and slow in
everything he did or said-you would
never think he amounted to much or
was worth his salt. The boys used to
call him "Ginger" Brown, both on &C
count Of his red hair and his slow
movements. But he would pull a sur
prise on you every once in a while,
like this one that he fooled me with.
One morning about dawn we started
out for a walk through what used to
be Dixmude-piles Of stone and brick
and mortar. There were no civvies to
be seen; only mules and horses bring
ing up casks Of water, bags Of beans.
chloride Of lime, barbed wire, ammu-
milton. etc. It was good thing we
were not superstitious. At that, the
shadows along the walls made me feel
shaky sometimes.
Finally Brown said: "Come on
down: let's see the .75's.' At this
time had not seen a "75," except on
train going to the front, so took
him up right away. but was surprised
that he should know where they were.
After going half way around Dix
nude Brown said, "Here we are" and
started right into what was left Of
big house. I kept wondering how he
would know so much about it, but fol-

lowed him. Inside the house was
passageway under the ruins. It was
about seven feet wide and fifty feet
long, should judge.
At the other end was the great old
"75," poking its nose out Of hole In
the wall. The gun captain and the
crew were sitting around waiting the
word for action, and they seemed to
know Brown well. ! was surprised at
that, but still more so when he told
me / could examine the gun If !
wanted to, Just as IL he owned It.
So sat In the seat and trained the
cross wires on an object, opened ana
closed the breech and examined the
recoii.
Then Brown said: "Well. Chink.
you'll see some real gunnery now" and
they passed the word and took sta
tons. My eyes bulged out when ]
saw Brown take his station with theml
"Silence!" is about the first COM
mand gun crew gets when 1t is going
into action, but I forgot all about 1t.
and shouted out and asked Brown how
he got to be a gunner. But he only
grinned and looked doggy, as usual.
Then came to and expected to get a
call down from the officer, but he only
grinned and so did the crew. It
seems they had 1t all framed to spring
on me, and they expected I would be
surprised.
So we put cotton In our ears and
the captain called the observation
tower a short distance away and they
gave him the range. Then the captain
"called 4128 meters" to Brown. They
placed the nose Of a shell in a fuse
adjuster and turned the handle until
1t reached scale 4128. This set the
fuse to explode at the range given.
Then they slammed the shell into the
breech, locked it shut and Brown sent
his best to Fritz.
The barrel slipped back, threw out
the shell case at our feet and returned
over q cushion Of grease. Then we
received the results by telephone from
the observation tower. After he had
fired twelve shots the captain said to
Brown, "You should neves waste your
self in infantry, son." And old dopey
Brown just stood there and grinned.
That was Brown every time. He
knew about more things than you could
think Of. He had read about gunnery
and fooled around at Dixmude until
they let him play with the 1885," and

our noses worse than the coolies. They
certainly were game little devils, and
came right back at us.
So most Of the poilus threw the
dope at Fritz and fought the coolies
hand to hand.
There was plenty Of food in the
trenches most of the time, though once
In while, during heavy lombard
ment,, the fatigue-usually a corporaPs
guard-would get killed in the COM
munication trenches and we would not
have time to get out to the fatigue and
rescue the grub they were bringing.
Sometimes you could not find either
the fatigue or the grub when you got
to the point where they had been hit.
But, as say, we were well fed most
Of the time, and got second and third
he1pings until we had to open our
belts. But as the Limeys say: "Gaw
blimey, the chuck was rough" They
served a>thick soup Of meat and vege-
tables in bowls the size of wash ba-
sins, black coffee with or without
sugar mostly without land plenty
Of bread.
Also, we had preserves in tins, just
like the Limeys. If you send any par
cells over, do not put any apple and
plum jam in them or the man who gets
1t will let Fritz shoot him. Ask any
Limey soldier and he will tell you the
same. I never thought there was SO
much jam in the world. No Mans
Land looked like a city dump. Most
of us took it, after O. while, just to
get the bread. Early In the war they
used the tins to make bombs of, but
that was before Mills came along with
his hand grenade. Later on they fiat
tened out the tins and lined the dug
outs with them.
Each man carried an emergency ra-
ton In his bag. This consisted Of bully
beef, biscuits, etc. This ration was
never used except in G real emergency,
because no one could tell when 1t
might mean the difference between
life and death to him. When daylight
catches a man In shell hole or at a
listening post out In No Mans Land
he does not dare to crawl back to his
trench before nightfall, and then is the
time that his emergency ration comes
In handy. Also, the stores failed to
reach us sometimes. as I have said.
and we had to use the emergency
ratiOnS.
Sometimes we received raw meat
and fried 1t In our dugouts. We built

PAYS TRIBUTE TO U. S. NAVY
Creating Huge Trained Body of Sea-
men Out of Landsmen Is Won
derfuI, Says Geddes.

Washington, Oct. 8.-Sir Eric
Geddes, first lord of the British adj
mfralty, paid this tribute to the Amer
lean navy:
.For the last Is months we on our
side have had the opportunity of see
ing your navy at work and I am voic-
ing the opinion not only of the royal
navy and the British nation, but OF
the whole of the allies when | say
that your sailors, no less than your
gallant troops, have won our deepest
admiration.
Stewardship, technical skill, endur-
ance, ingenuity and good-felloWship-
all of these we know we could ex-
pect from theUnited States navy, and
It is these very qualities in a degree
far exceeding our anticipation which
have endeared your officers and men
to us all and have brought about that
complete unity of spirit and purpose
between the two great navies to which
the present visit Of the board of the
admiralty bears testimony.
s'The dauntless determination which
the United States has displayed in
creating huge trained body of sea-
men out of landsmen is one of the
most striking accomplishments of the
war. Had it not been effectively done
one would have thought it impossible,
and WORDS fail me to express our adj
miration of this feat undertaken and
accomplished by your navy depart
ment of which Mr.. Secretary Daniels

step and knocked off for four hours,
in which time we cooked and ate and
slept. This routine was kept up night
and day, seven days week. Some
times the program was changed; for
instance, when there was to be an at
tack or when Fritz tried to come over
and visit. but otherwise nothing dis
turbed our routine unless 1t was gas
attack.
The ambition Of most privates Is to
become a sniper, as the official sharp
shooters are called. After a private
has been in the trenches for six
months or a year and has shown his
craftsmanship, he becomes the great
man he has dreamed about. We had
