i Naturally, men off the farms soon

ordinary soil, can dig a trench for the

this is the usual or standing trench,

{ Now that the vast American army
! is definitely launched on its big mis-
sion of saving half the world to dem
ocracy, those not away with the boys
at the front are wont to wonder just
what each enlisted man of their
friends may have to do. The Presi-
dents proclamation for the selective
draft, it will be remembered, stated
plainly that every one with the col
ors would be assigned where best fit
ted, and in that connection, what the
men who list previous occupation as
farmer may have set them is of es-
pecial interest to yeoTnen everywhere.
In charge of the big Federal forces
( at the heart of the American midwest
with headquarters at Cincinnati, Col.
/ Robert Huber has been receiving no
end of men from the farms of the ag-
rarian states around, and what he has
! to say of the best work for which such
are fitted becomes of no little moment,
indeed.
Suppose, we asked the Colonel,
the other evening, I'VE were off at the
front and had registered as farmer, or
farmland, what would we have to

Huber is himself from the fertile
Big Miami country, centering, that is
to say. at Dayton, and he knows the
merits of this class of men as few
officers do.
THE farm boys" he replied, fare
adapted well to trench digging and
they are especially valuable as mule
drivers in all the circumstances that
attach to getting under fire.
''Mule-driving," he continued, sis
not at all the simple feat layman
might suppose. TO be as stubborn as
a mule has been proverbial in our Ian
guage, and how to handle a mule
when he is set in his mind and gel
that mule to do the work on which
the battling army waits, requires ex-
perience and a curious form of tact
indeed.
