'BEMlDN PIONEER IS
NICKNAME ATTACHED
TO SOLDIER BOOSTER

An interesting letter has been re-
ceived by Mr.. and Mrs. I. B. Olson
from their son, Kern Olson, who is
in military service and stationed at
San Antonio, Tex. The following ex-
tracts are taken from the letter: =
"A bunch of new men came to our
squad last week and a very funny
thing happened. The boys down
there all kid me about Bemidji, and
i have been nicknamed the 'Bemidjl
Pioneer as have been trying to
tell the fellows what q wonderful
town we have up here in the woods,
and so they started that name fol
me but you bet am not a bit
ashamed of it.. But while the fell
lows were kidding me one night, a
new fellow came up to me and asked
me If I came from Bemidji and ]
told him Yes and then he told me
that he was q nephew of p. j. Rus,
sell, and that he had been up there
a few times, and then we two. had q
swell talk about old Bemfdji. II
sure is funny who a fellow will run
across In the army, isn't it? f. E
Il wish you would get some OF
the rain and heat up there that we
are getting down here. It has rain
ed seven inches down here and ev-
erything is flooded. Their average
rainfall is six inches year, so. you
can see how much it has &rained the
last week. They ought to have some
real good crops. down here this year.
''Army life sure agrees with me.
When I left good old Bemidji
weighed lat pounds and now-I tip
the scales at 1863. 1t isn't all fat,
but mostly muscle. If Ibid not be-
lieve in regular hours when was
home, I sure do now. These are my
hours: Bed $3.50 p. NJ, get up at
5 a.. M, breakfast $3.50, dinner at
~ and supper at p. m. These rules
hold good for Sunday, too: No stay
ing in bed until; II Sunday morn
ing, as I often did while at home.
This army life win make man out
of me If anything will. We get $50
a month but out of that comes my
insurance of SO per month and
bought a. Liberty loan bond which
costs me IS per. month, so you see
there isn't much left at the end OF
the month. -, ,. =, !.

Chicago.-The thrilling story Of his
experiences against the Huns Ia
France was told by Sergt. Christopher
Jones of the Royal British Field Ar
tillery, in the psychopathic court here.
Three times he was wounded and
I've times he went through the hors
rors Of being gassed "oyer there"
He, has been doing duty at the Brit
ish recruiting Office here since his
discharge in 1917. He still carries a
piece Of shrapnel in his skull, re-
ceivsd at the. Battle Of Ypres,. when
Tor live days he lay in a. shell hole,
without food or drink, until hospital
&, dor rescued him. n
Jones was In the fighting at Albert
when that city was attacked and the
cathedral destroyed. * 5533 81,
THAT was whore the Boches gave
bombs to the children, bombs painted
like toys and set to explode in few
: minutes" said Jones. 1.-THE poor kids,
= they: never had q chance. Yes, ! saw
some Of these explosions. And saw
old women given the bayonet. IN
I'VE charged them, but our officers
wouldn't let us kill them. We had
to take them prisoners when they hol-
lared Kamerad.' o..
when I was captured the Boches
threw me into q 40-foot pit with lot
Of other prisoners. They told me !
could get out If worked in the mu-
milton factories. I told them to 60 to
b., and stayed in the pit. >..
-"One night two of us overpowered
a guard, climbed upon the rope which
they used to let water down to us, and
escaped. We went through woods and
swan rivers until we got to the sea.
We got on a fishing boat and woke up
on the coast of France" !

by means of the hoe or rake, pull
clods and stones from around the
plants, remove any weeds not de-
stroyed by the cultivation, and I'M
cover any plants accidentally cover
ed by clods or earth during the Gull
tivation.
1t is an excellent plan to train to-
matoes, peas, etc., on stakes, brother
supports, as this makes it possible
to keep the garden in good condition
with a minimum Of labor.
It will pay the home gardener to
grow certain specialties of which he
may be fond, and which may be
troublesome or expensive to pur-
chaser. Okra is an example of this
class, and little beds of parsley,
chives or other herbs take UP very
little room and provide the house
wife with additions for her table
which are most welcome If they can
be picked conveniently and at the
right moment.

cultivation is employed there will
be sufficient room for the horse to
walk, and so that when hand Guilt
walton is to be employed there will
be room for the wheel hoe. Straight
rows enable the gardener to give the
crops better cultivation than would
be otherwise possible.
Frequent shallow cultivation
should be given garden crops. BY
keeping the surface of the soil stir
red dust mulch is formed, which
prevents the loss of moisture. In
this way weeds are prevented from
getting a start.
Cultivate After Rains.
The soil should be cultivated as
soon as dry enough after a rain, to
break the crust and prevent baking.
Sandy soils may be cultivated when
quite wet, but clay, soils should not
be stirred when wet enough to cling
together in mass when lightly
squeezed in the hand. Too much
