Aaron Anon

For State Senator. Aaron Anon Of
Remus, Mecosta County, is offered co
the votres oc the Twenty-ffth Sena-
torial District.
Mr.. Anon was born in Canada
nearly ffty-nine years ago. We say
nearly fifty-nine years ago because
Mr.. Anon will be fifty-nine years Of
age on Nov 9Th. election day, and we
are sure that the voters Of the Twen-
ty-fifth Senatorial District will make
Mr.. Anon birthday present of a
State Senatorial toga on that day.
In 1917. he was elected repre-
sentative TO the State Leg1sla-
ture from Mecosta county, where he
served with distinction upon the fol-
lowing important committees Elec-
tions. Liquor Traffic, Michi'r"~ Sol
iers' Home and State Normal College.
Just how well the people Of Mecosta
county thought of Mr.. Anon may be
ascertained from the fact that out
of 2,9li votes cast in the last election
Mr.. Anon received 1898.

who cut the barbed wire improperly

half an hour previously. What we

The officer, in my opinion, at the

fCur-tap signal, which meant, "On your

quickly as possible" but again he must

made any unnecessary noise.
During the intervals Of falling star
shells we carried on with our wire cut
ting until at last We succeeded in get

At this point we were only Gen feet
from the German trenches. If we were
discovered, We were like rats In a trap.
Our way was cut off unless we ran
llong the wire to the narrow lanes >we
had cut through. With our hearts in
our mouths we waited for the three
tap signal to rush the German trench.
Three taps had gotten about halfway
down the line when suddenly about ten
to twenty German star shells were
fired all along the trench and landed
In the barbed wire in rear of us, turn
Ing night into day and silhouetting us
against the wall of light made by the

confronted by the following unpleasant
scene.

The star shells from the German

crossed over the middle Of our line.
Some Tommy sneezed. The smoke had
gotten up his nose. We crouched on
the ground, cursing the offender under
our breath, and waited the vOlley that
generally ensues when the Germans
have heard noise in No Mans Land.
Nothing happened. We received two
taps and crawled forward slowly for
five yards; no doubt the officer be-
heved what Old Pepper had said, "Per-

about thirty feet In front Of you there

Fritz never knows when a bomb with
his name and number on 1t will come
hurtling through the air aimed In the
direction Of Berlin. The man on the
right, one man In the center and my
self on the extreme left were equipped
with wire cutters. These are insulated
with soft rubber not because the Ger
man wires are charged with electricity,
but to prevent the cutters rubbing
against the barbed wire stakes, which
are Of iron. and making a noise
which may warn the inmates of the
trench that someone is getting fresh
in their front yard. There is only one
way to cut barbed wire without noise
and through costly experience Tommy
has become an expert in doing this.
You must grasp the wire about two
inches from the stake in your right
hand and cut between the stake and
your hand.
II you cut a wire improperly, a
loud twang will ring out on the night
air like the swapping of banjo
string. Perhaps this noise can be
heard only for fifty or seventy-1ve
yards. but in Tommy's mind it makes
loud noise In Berlin.
We had cut lane about halfway
