should honor those who bore the
brunt of the battle yet few know just
where the different units and divisions
were and the part they really took.
The greater number of the Trego
County boys are in the 35th and seth
divisions but others are scattered
through the different units and are
hard to locate.
In the second battle of the Marine
seven divisions took part that is End,
3rd, 4th, 18th, And and Goth while
the 26th and 32nd helped to reduce the
salient.
General Pershing has this to say
in his report about one in which some
of us are interested: Every avail
able man was placed at Marshal
Foch's disposal and the 3rd Division
which had just come from its pre-
liminary training in the trenches was
hurried to the Marine Its motorized
machine gun Battalion preceded the
other units and successfully held the
bridgehead at the Marine opposite
Chateau Thierry. A single regiment
liant pages in our military annals on
this occasion. It prevented the cross
ing at certain points, while on either
flank the Germans who had gained a
footing pressed forward. Our men
firing in three directions met the Ger
man attacks with counter attacks at
critical points and succeeded in throw
ing two German Divisions into COM
plete confusion capturing six hundred
prisoners. Thus was the stage set
for the counter offensive which, be-
ginning with the smashing of the
Marine salient brought overwhelming
victory to the Allies and the United
States in the months that followed y
Well there were at least four Wa
Keeney boys there. Walter Stanton,
who was wounded Leo Faulkner who
has the honor of bringing two of the
six hundred prisoners and the other
school boys who were in the unit that
did not make a business of taking
prisoners. They We're Glen Hancock
and Leo. Harlan of the Machine Gun
section.
The same division was again prom
inent in the ST. Michel drive and
again in the Argonne Forest along
the Mouse. And this Division was
the first to step on German soil.
The 35th was in action in the Ar
gonne and met with perhaps the
heavies casualties of any single div
ision there and the 89th which has
in the 353d or AIl-Kansas regiment
was twice in action there. Both at
the beginning and at the finish and
these two Divisions are among those
chosen by General Pershing to be of
the Army of Occupation.

Jeff Pfeffer changed his jackie

fire of the big right handler, and his
support was alright with the eX-

TWO GOLF CLUBS
HAVE OWN ROADS
FOR CONVEYANCE
TILL eight.

Chicago, July 20.-Two golf clubs
in the suburban region of Chicago
have private railroads leading to
their links, which with their pala-
tial club houses are Sequestered
far from the ordinary channels of
travel.
Both private lines use electric
power, although the Midlothian
Country club line formerly en-
ployed a small steam locomotive to
haul members from a station on
the Rock Island line TO its club
house.
The other golf railroad is a
cross-country line, running to the
GlenvieW club from the aristOcratic
north shore suburbs. 1t also serves
the Westmoreland Country club,
where the western open champion
ship was won last year by James
Barnes with a record score of 2S3
strokes for 70 holes. This road,
bearing the pretentiQus name,
North Shore and Western railroad,
recently issued the following no
tice describing its physical, finan-
cial and service status:
Patrons should not ride over
this line in a spirit of Indifference,
ennui or nonchalance 1t is four
miles long, four feet, eight and one
half inches wide and has an ambi-
tious name. 1t also has two stand
ard streaks of rust covered by an
ample mortgage. 1t has but two
paid employees, and its president
and manager serve for glory only.
It does not pay dividends, but has
escaped receivership and govern
ment control 1t has not escaped
any other torment, tax or tribula-
ton. 1t caters to two golf clubs
and one cemetery; incidentally, it
serves the public. 1t has flu
ture, great expectations and COM
placent stockholders.
you will note, in passing, truck
gardens of great fertility, a ceme-
terry rapidly increasing in popula-
ton, and from the zenith of the
trestle another standard railroad,
no wider but longer than the one
which you are privileged to ride.
Near the western terminal, after
entering the forest preserve, you
cross a fork of one of the branches
of the Chicago river, which is not
very wide nor yet very deep, but
GIBBS and flows with rainfall. The
terminal itself is Immediately ada
cent or, rather, conveniently con-
tiguous to the nineteenth hole of
the Glen View club.
Patrons are particularly re-
quested not to complain or COM
ment adversely upon the service.
We are doing the best we can on
nothing a year.

DARK HORSE. INDEED

Cleveland, Ohio, July 20-For the
second time the Tavern "Steak, y
one of the principal events of the
recent grand circuit here. was won
by a Cleveland-owned trOtter. In
1910 Joan, owned by Captain David
Shaw. won il over the North Ran
dali track. and coincidentally eight
years later. Prince Loree. owned
by the same horseman, took the
prize
Prince Loree was the cheapest
horse in the feld-cheap most any
way taken. At a public auction
several years ago he was sold TO
A. G. Pennock for $50 1t was the
only bid. From Pennock Captain
Shaw bought him for 1925. In TAX
ing down the Tavern the son of
Prince Mckinney beat trOtters that
cost as much as $4,000.
In the pool selling he went beg
ging-a $25 ticket calling for S505.
In the pari-mutuel betting a 50
ticket netted its holder S25. 4G
straight in the first heat and $3.50
in the third.
There was no question, however,
of his gameness. In both heats he
came from behind to gain the de
cision by a neck and a nose, re
spectively, and in the first heat he
equaled the state record of 2:0612
made in 1916 by Grand Chimes.
