IN TIE AMERICAN TRENCHES IN
FRANCE, April 2O.-There's a new phil
osophy OF death in the American army
in France. It's hard to define, but it's
an intangible something" that has
iai-en hold OF the minds OF our lighting
men They no longer fear death. It's
only very recently that / myself caught
the spirit Of the thing
Some people would call It fatalism.
hut the average soldier expresses Il
thus: I'm not dead yet and 1 won't
die untn my time comes"
WhStever it IS, it kills wdrry.
"SinC@ our boys have quit worrying
so much about their prospects OF get
ting killed they have more time and
energy for lChting and enjoy Che game
more" said a high general who was
commenting on the mental change that
had come over his troops.
Our boys did not cult worrying about
death until they actually got in the
trenches In their traiLing camps, many
miles back Of the lines. ! often found
lads worrying over possible dangers
that might confront them later.
once In the trenches, however, their
attitude has changed completely.
/ Bennie, the Coward is a Hero Now.
The case OF Bennle Blank illustrates
! the point Every time / had visited 8
certain outft back in the training camp
Bennie was i'm the guard house Squad
for misconduct; and when ] asked hin
one day why he didn't behave himself
he said
MY nerves gone completely. Guess
I'm a natural born coward. I've beer
trying either 60 get kicked out Of the
army or TO be sent 90 the rear"
But when his regiment went 10 the
front he marched along Later ] asked
his captain how he was doing.
Absolutely the best soldier I've got
the captain declared with some pride
Hes now the only lad in the entire
regiment who has been recommends,
for a medal for gallantry under fire.
Just before the Germans attempted
a raid on US one night they snelled ~
for nearly an hour end all our tele
phone wires were cut. We were ul

message back
one Of them. When he saw by sur

Preparedness

means simply what one thinks Of
on the day before, or the week or
even the month before. Possibly
many months before.
We have all heard of the cot
tage roof that leaked from one
years end to another. The owner
explained it very simply. He
couldn't be expected to mend it on
a rainy day. And when it wasn't
raining the roof didn't need it.
Meanwhile, how that hole did
spread! Rainy days in that cot
tage must have been trials.
A great deal Of the shopping
done by women, that looks so
amusing to men, is simply pre-
paredness.
These same mems homes
mioht not be quite so comfortable
if there were not some one always
thinking ahead and from time to
time buying ahead.
A home can very easily be-
come neglected. not because its
feminine head goes out shopping
too often, but because she does it
too seldom.
Our business also is prepar-
edness. Through our prepared
ness, our thinking ahead-and
thinking on a vast scale in accord
ance with a vast business-yoWr
preparedness is made an easier
matter.
We are better prepared than
most others to occasionally price
articles specially. as we are doing
on Monday next with certain
small. selected lots of high-grade
articles mentioned in this adver-
tisement.
You are better prepared to
buy them here than in most
places, for YOU know that if they
are especially priced it is for a
good reason and not for a bad
one, and that lowered cost to you
does not mean lowered quality or
poorer wear.
This insures for us and for
you, preparedness against even
repartee. Repartee in storekeep-
ing is not desirable, for at last
analysis it means "back-talk. -
unworthy goods - dissatisfied
customers.
How glad we are that in 81
years of acquiring experience and
reputation we have sold nearly
everything but boomerangs.

With every American outnt over here
are French officers attached as instruct

osophy among our troops. one OF them,
in a little speech to American troops
the other day, put the don't worry
proposition this way
"Why worryg II a shell or a bullet
comes over. two things might happen
You might get hit and you might not
get hit. II It doesn't hit you you have
absolutely nothing to worry about. If

SAYS ENGLAND
IS MORE TIDY
Than FRANCE

''After leaving the transport we
stopped at what We're called rest
camps" writes E. F. Eron, Battery D,
121st Field Artillery, from France to
his parents. eve only stayed day
or two and then resumed our travel.
Although the trip was tiresome, we all
enjoyed the sights.
France, like England, is way be-
hind the times, as everything looks
and is so quaint and old-fashioned. At
that, France has got it all over Eng
land for beautiful residences and seen
cry, with the exception of her streets.
In England, the streets are we'll kept
and we saw no rubbish lying around,
but in France this was not the case.
When we marched in one of the larg-
er cities here, we had to leap and
jump over garbage heaps and rubbish
piles"
The above article appeared in the
Sunday Milwaukee Journal. E. F.
Eron, spoken of is a younger brother
of Lewis Eron, the plumber who is
in business in this city.

CALF CLUBS
THEIR PURPOSE

The calf club is means Of making
the care and handling of dairy cattle
a pleasure and not drudgery. 1t is
an effort to induce boys and girls to
care fore and raise dairy calves-and
to be interested in the work. The
chief object is to encourage among
boys and girls love for live stock
which will lead them to become care
takers Of animals. The club teaches
thrift.
Half of the good of club endeavor
is lost when sale of the calves is
held. The fullest benefits follow the
plan Of growing the calves until they
become part of the milking herd.
Carried to its largest purpose, club
work engenders a liking for animal
