WRITES DIRECT FROM FRANCE
OF WORK OF THE MARINES

Following is an extract from letter
dated int France. June 10, i91S, just
received by DR.. F. E. Kosanske, from
a friend who is a corporal with the
US. Marines:
"The marine corps lived up to the
old standard-'Never lose a battle or
give up any ground taken,-for we
certainly held ON to everything we
gained, and turned it over to the army
We had seventeen days Of hell on
earth, provided there is such a thing,
went over the top three times, and
established new lines each time, and
we were under artillery fire at all
times-high explosives, shrapnel, gas,
and everything the Germans have If
you were off listening to a barrage,
you would think there would be no
living thing left; but there is, for l
passed through quite number of
them. Quite number of the men won
the Croix de Guerre, but | am salts
fled with what l have, and that is my
life .H
1t was magnificent the way the boys
went over the top-through open
fields, from one woods to another; no
one hesitated one bit; most of them
were smoking cigarettes, for, they is
sued tobacco just before we went
over ,:.'iF Il
The marines captured machine gun
after machine gun, and later on we
put them in action against the Ger
mans to good effect; but we certainly
paid for what we got, for some of the
companies were practically wiped out.
OF course, the most of them were
wounded, not killed We lost about
125 men in our outfit, but never felt
or had the least bit of doubt that /
would come back.
/ never had my shoes or any clothes
off for the seventeen days, but got a
hot water bath today, and it was great
after not even having a face wash for
so long time.
We got the compliments of the COM
mander- inc of all the allied forces
for stopping a German drive, and then
driving them back for about 8 ki1O-
meters WITHOUT any Hefp IRON freucn
or other allied trOops-just two regi-
ments of marines.
The Red Cross and: YIN. CA. have
my compliments, and of all the A. E
F. men, for they have some of the best
men in the world over here. aeOur Y.
M. C. A. man deserves a medal for his
conduct in carrying wounded from the
front under shell fire., This has not
been trench warfare. for it, has been
out in the open all the time. p

not be under taken before grain is dry
and cured Do not thresh when bun
dies are damp or wet, either from dew
or rain.
Condition of Machinery-Have ma
chine clean; see that oil gets to bear
ings; replace all broken parts Re-
place or repair badly worn parts Belts
must be good Keep pulley Jagged.
Location of Thresher-Set thresher
on dry, hard, smooth ground. Do not
permit machine to thresh where old
straw, manure and weeds will be un-
der and around machine. Use can

has been run some time Remember
one side may settle.
! Operating. Feed apron or cradle
must be in good repair and tight. See

careless pitching than any other cause.
The pitchers are held responsible.
(a) Care-Pitch head first only
never crossWise or one On top Of. an

motion. Do not rush-then slow up,
do not pitch several at time, then
none. Do not pitch when cylinder is
not at threshing speed.
(c) Quantity = More is accomp-
lished by uniform work Slamming
bundles into the feeder carelessly
makes feeding slower and forces vast
ing of grain.
The pitcher is to blame for grain
waste when these rules are not OBJ
served and he will be held responsible;
If he cannot follow the above some
one must do the work who can and
will do it we'll.

A MIDNIGHT PLANTING.
Black Bass and Catfish Placed In Rock
River.

A consignment of 600 lingering black
bass and 1900 catfish were planted in
Rock river at midnight Wednesday.
The fish were shipped from La, Crosse
where the catfish were caught in the
sloughs of the Mississippi river Some
of them were almost large enough for
table use. The cans reached the city
before the schedule time several hours
in charge Of Frank Meade who is en-
ployed by the State Conservation Com
mission and truck was furnished by
the H. Fast garage and the cans load
ed and conveyed to a desirable point
on Rock river where the denizens of
the deep were conferred to the water.
An effort will be made to secure
more catfish and stock the river with
this most desirable fish, The present
shipment was sent at the request of
Senator. Mulberger., Many people be-
lieve that if a sufficient supply of cat
fish could be secured and placed in the
river above Pipersyille fishing would
be good on the upper river for many
years to come as there are stretches
of the river there adapted to success
full catfish breeding.

Man Asks His Invalid Father To Take
Poison and End Their Troubles
Together Was Probably
Exempt From Service.

Fear of the war draft, whether
prompted by the tongues of others or
caused by brooding over conditions at
home was the probable cause of the
suicide of r. Harder, a farmers son
who cultivated a farm at the southern
limits of the Twelfth ward The man,
r. Harder, was in the draft but would
most likely be exempted as he was the
only care of his father, an invalid, and
cording to testimony at the inquest
Harder was in the deferred class but
had stated that he was told he would
have to go and would never come
back. This may have been a delusiOn
as man of 25 years would know bet
ter. srs
On Tuesday afternoon he told his
father that he had mixed two portions
of paris green, one for him and the
other for himself. His father told him
to not mind the poison but get supper
which he did. The next morning he
repeated the occurrence of the even
ing before with the same result and

paris green and took dose, then went
into the front room and lay down on
the floor. In the adjoining room lay

the struggles of his boy when the poi
son began to work but was unable to
help him or call for assistance.

time did not know the boy was dead

A very happy part Of the convocation
occurred at dinner Thursday night, when

who for 80 years served as the score.

the evident feeling which prompted the

It difficult to respond, but the few words
which he did succeed in saying disclosed
an appreciation as deep and sincere as
the spirit which prompted the gift.
The revised registration showed that
10 Congregational pastors were present,
10 Of whom brought their wives with
them. While the registration was not
quite as large as last year, the difference
is accounted for by war conditions, Is

even better than the great success Of
