DARLINGTON CITIZEN IN
BAD WITH UNCLE SAMUEL

Gottleib Kempfer, Darlington res
ident, argued with Fred Nutzel, a
Milwaukee salesman, in a saloon last
Thursday night The point at issue
was the war and Kempfer is alleged
to have spoken disrespectfully Of the
president-in fact called Mr.. Wilson
vile names. Nutzel took offense at
Kempfer's remarks and gave him
one hour to retract. Later the men
met in another saloon and again be-
rated each other Kempfer went
home but Nutzel called a federal Off
GER. The latter came to Darlington
and arrested Kempfer after investi-
eating the complaint. Kempfer in
defense claims that he said nothing
wrong and therefore had nothing to
retract Nutzel claims that he did
say something and evidently con-
WINGED the federal authorities Of his
veracity. Much excitement prevails
at Darlington over the case. Kemp
fer's friends there know him for a
respected citizen and hope that he may
prove his innocence They will not
uphold him if the charges are proven
true. He is still in Jail.

After much trial and tribulation the
county committee selected to secure
an agricultural agent is now able to
report that their troubles are over.
At least they hope so.
Two men were here last week one
Of them being Walter Weld of Wau-
paca, Wisconsin. Mr.. Weld was agri-
cultural agent in North Dakota for
over two years and spent the same
time recently as manager of his faith
er's big farm. He is a graduate of
the Wisconsin University Agricul-
tural school, 1911, and a practical
farmer He arrived the first part of
this week ready for business.
Mr. Weld will receive $1,000 per
year and all expenses such as travell-
ing, postage, printing and stenograph-
er. The county pays $1,000 and the
state and national government the
balance.

VERNON IN FRANCE
FORMER LANCASTER BOY WRITES
ENTERTAINING LETTER TO HIS
MOTHER.-DUTY SOON.

Vernon Judd writes his mother,
Mrs. Helen Judd Of Bloomington, that
he is we'll located in France Vernon
speaks highly Of the Y. M. c. A where
refreshments and conveniences in
GLIDING an open fire place make life
very pleasant Vernon received a box
OF cookies from his mother and says
they are in great demand-the only
fault being that the bottom of the box
is in sight. Vernon has had a few
Heralds and read them thoroughly.
He speaks of the country and says
that all the buildings are of the Old
type. The country is very fiat and the
traffic is conducted over canals with
barges. The spring in France is far
advanced to here and the boys sit
around in their shirt-sleeves-Wh
they are not working.
The boys expect to have active duty
soon but do not know where they will
be assigned. In later letter he
speaks as follows:
The helmet and wristlets are in
storage for the present, as we've had
nice spring weather for ten days and
hope it continues for some time Some
of those days when all you want to
do is lounge around in the sun on a
pile Of logs or something that is dry,
but there is little lounging around
here at present as everything is on
the run. We get plenty Of reading

sincerely hope that pig they killed is
not anything like the army pig. We've
been eating bacon for seven months
now and haven't had any pork steak
yet He must be one awful big pig
to have so much side meet. You must
not compare our stock Of supplies to
that Of the Drafties in the States. They
may have ten pairs of socks and two
Overcoats apiece. The most OF us are
wearing Canadian Overcoats, pants

miles and when | returned l found
two more boxes, two Heralds and the

breakfast of bacon, oatmeal, coffee and
bread. Now it is time to go to work.

Dear Sister:
Arrived here in good shape Sunday
afternoon, March g. Left Camp
Dodge 2 p. m. Thursday, Feb. %. Was
over three days on the road or a good
full Y hours.
Got to see quite bit Of the south
as we passed different states to
get here.
Marched through the streets of Ke-
okuk, Ia, Friday morning for exer-
else and again at Chattanooga, Tenn,
during the noon hour.
Nothing much to tell about the
south. 1t is just about the same as
have always heard it was. Seems
quite nice to be down here among the
peach blossoms and cactus, sleep in
nice warm tents and shake the liz
yards out Of our shoes in the morning.
We came through in Pullman coach
es and sicepers, 16 in all. The trim,
for wonder, did not seem one bit
tiresOme and we all came marching
into camp about two miles from the
depot carrying our three blankets,
oyercOat and pOnchO in a roll over
one shoulder and knapsack over the
other, sweating some but feeling fine
after the trip.
This camp is very nicely located
near Augusta and about 100 miles
from the ocean. There are about
$4,000 Of $4,000 here now and all Iiv-
ing i'll tents 1916 It. square, one
squad or eight men to a tent
These tents can be made very COM
Portable. They have them all electric
lighted and good clean sand floors
are easy to keep clean No floor
scrubhing any more. The mess halls
are built OF wood and screened with
wire mosquito netting. The eats are
about the same as at other camps.
This is a good time to come here
from the north before it gets so eX-
tremely hot
The water supply here is very good.
| had thought we were nearly through
training but they went right after us
here for about six hours per day and
| cues they are going to keep it up
for some time. We have here what
is called the Ordnance Training
Camp where each one is to get school
ing in his line Of work. Have had
nothing but military drill so far
Have not been out around the camp
yet but as far as | can see in all di-
rections are tents and mess halls
There is no one here that I ever saw
or heard Of before that | know Of.
There are about six Of us left in this
Company from the old Company u at
Columbus Barracks They keep
changing them about from time 10
time Have a pretty good chum just
now, Stanley e. Barry, Of Suther-
land, Iowa. We are always looking
out for each others interests and get
along fine
We had the job Of guarding the sup
ply and provision car one night COM
ing here. The eats and coffee were
fine This afternoon we got the job
of laying up an ornamental stone wall
in front of the mess hall.
Am feeling fine and intend to like
this place very much. Can stand this
