John has not been in this city much
of the time since he was nineteen
years OF age: for five years he worked
on a ranch in Wyoming, and there
learned his first experience in being
far away from home. Later he went
to Moline. where he was head super

that he would socn leave the hospital

It appears. however, that, based

silo of greatest durability and best

that the cost of lumber is less than

expense of erecting wooden silo Is
less, as the farmer can do the work

The men of the allied armies are
fighting for common principle, put
they are doing more than fight to-
gether. They are finding common
sympathies. Officers and men are
making friendships with other offi-
GERS and men of whose existence
they did not even know year ago.
These friendships will not be broken
soon. While Germany is seeking TO
dismember the rest of the world by
propaganda, it is slowly but surely
being welded closer and closer to-
gether by the contact Of men of all
nations. Statesmen of one nation
may find common ground OF discus
