men furnished by Iowa during the

RED CROSS HOGS SHIPPED.
To Chicago Market Which We're Do
mated BY Farmers.

GrinnelI, April 2O-The load of Red
Cross hogs from this community start
ed for the Chicago live stock market
last night The farmers called upon
have done their part nobly, and so
have the business men who have been
called upon. The result is that over
10 head of fine porkers have been Sc
cured, the proceeds from whose sale
will be turned over direct to the Red

So far as is known here, this is the
first load of Red Cross hogs to be
shipped to the Chicago market, but
the enterprise of the farmers of this
community is expected to start quite
a movement in that direction.

A NEAR CALAMITY.

Little Mary was being initiated into
the wonders of the Pullman car. She
and her mother left the city late in the
afternoon, each occupying a big cush-
Toned seat in the car. Mary wished to
know at once where they were to
sleep, and after five hours explana-
ton by her mother she realized that
they were to sleep in a bed made over
their seats, which would be complet-
ed by the porter about nine o'clock.
At the next stop a man entered the
car and Mary was forced to give up
her individual seat to him. He had
reserved the upper berth, which she
did not know. The giving up of the
seat was for a time, enough food for
thought, but she finally burst out with
the question:
Mamma, II we sleep here, and all
those other people sleep where they
are sitting, where is that man going
to sleep?"
"That man" and the rest in the
car laughed. The explanation process
began all over again.-Indianapolis

the individual drill down. There was
some kick because l was corporal
but there was nothing to keep me
from taking part.
The next week was the same old
story. The second Sunday we had a
good sub scare and Monday morning
we had a fight in earnest. It was a
lively hour while the fight lasted and
all l saw was the wake of a torpedo.
But all our armament was working.
Even airplanes were out helping us.
During the battle the coast of France
doomed up and it was the most well
come sight I'd seen on that voyage.
About 1920 we were within the net
and off came our life preservers worn
steadily for three days. In France

that we anchored in the mouth of the
Loire river. Later in the evening we
were towed into the unloading basin.
No shore leave that night. But we
were safe in France-brave France!
