Yanks Caught in Pocket Fight
Until Last Bullet Is
Gone.
BOcHE SHELL GETS THEM
Caught Between Barrage and Huns
They Fight in Manner to Make
One Proud to Be Of
Same Race.
Bv e. A. BACHELOR.

Par1S-Ine I. M. T.. A man tOlQ
the story with tears in his eyes and
a break in his voice. He said that 1t
was the saddest thing that he ever
had encountered, which meant much.
He had been long time in France,
so death and suffering were no strain
gers to him. But when he spoke of
the sergeant and the private that they
had found dead beside their machiue
gun he couldn't control his emotion.
1t seems that the sergeant and the
private had been caught in a pocket.
The Germans, in force, were in front
Of them. There was barrage behind
which made it impossible for them to
rejoin their company. So they stayed
and roughed it out, fought in a man.
ner that made one proud to be of the
same race.
Held Off Whole Company.
When they found them there was
pile of empty shells several inches
high around the gun and not single
round of unexpended ammunition re-
manned. The two had held off a whole
company of Boche machine gunners
for several hours.
The enemy had been around bend
In the road, a scant so yards away,
and hadn't been able to advance be-
cause of the brisk fire of the lone
American gun manned by the SER
geant and the private. The sergeant
had been evidently pointing the gun
and the private had been feeding it.
Their only protection had been lit
tie ridge where the dirt had been
thrown up beside the road.
The underground just behind them
had been cut to ribbons by the Boche
bullets and the trees near where the
enemy had been were SCARED by Yam
kee fire. It had been the hottest kind
of q fight and the Americans had been
winning against the terrible odds I'M
til a shell burst right on them and
killed both.
Whether 1t was a Boche shell OF
one Of our own, nobody ever will
know. Both sides had been firing into
that part of the wood. Whatever the
source Of the shell, it had done its
work quickly and thoroughly, for the
men were badly torn. Death prob.
ably had come instantaneously. They
had gone while the joy of battle was
still upon them.
Death Not In Vain.
1t was q glorious death but sac
one because q few minutes after the
shell landed, the Boche had beer
obliged to retire. Another half al
hour, and the heroic pair would have
been safe. But they had not died in
vain. The company that they ha6
held at bay carried back to the Ger
man lines story of American hero
ism that will do much to convince the
Boche that the men from across the
sea are going to decide the war. The
sacrifice of these two lives will save
others.
They called on the Y. M. G. A. mar
to help bury these two heroes. 1t wa.
not his first experience as member
of burial party because he had beer
at the front all through the big push
AS he aided in the burial he could not
help wishing that of all the Thousands
engaged in that battle these two nigh
have been spared.

OF COURSE REAL MONEY WILL
BE GLADLY ACCEPTED

While the aim of the Home Society
is to raise the $4,000 through Liber-
ty Bonds and War Savings Stamps,
the main thing is to get the money,
therefore, of course the Society would
be delighted to accept contributions
of money-from the children's ren-
MES up to the largest possible amount.
SUBSCRIPTIONS CAN BE MADE
PAYABLE MONTHLY
Any person who does not own a
Bond, or who prefers to buy another,
The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1918-11-28

when paid for. Persons who cannot
contribute at all NOW, can subscribe
the amount they feel they can give
and make the payments at ANY
TIME in the coming year of 1919. The
idea of the Society is to make sure of
the income of $4,000 for the finishing
of this years work free from debt,
and the entire year of 1919, so that
no further appeal for funds need be
made until 1920.
MUST FLORIDA'S HOMELESS
KIDDIES PLEAD IN VAIN?
The good people of Florida have
taken care during the year of 1918,
and gone "over the top" In every one
of the Big Campaigns, and we have
confidence that they will heed the cry
Of these poor little helpless, homeless
kiddies, who arc the Hope of the Fu-
ture, and who must not be permitted
to suffer.
WILL YOU ADOPT ONE FLORIDA
KIDDIE FOR NEXT YEAR?
One Fifty Dollar Bond will provide
for the entire need of one of these
kiddies in need. Will you be one of
The Thousand to accept the response

tie ones?

WHEAT GROWING

Editor Herald
Winning the war should be the
one thought of the people of our
country. As to raise all the bread
stuff we can, especially wheat
and as there has been some
wheat sown and raised in Baca
county, I think the farmers
should get together and consult
each other about the best method
of raising wheat and have each
one who planted wheat last year
give their advise and experience
in the manner-uf preparing the
land, giving the amount sewed
last fall, about the amount they
empect to harvest, the amount
that they expect to sow this fall,
how to prepare the land, in fact
anv and every thing that will
help to increase the amount of
wheat. Myself and boy sewed
100 acres last fall-borrowed the
money to buy the seed, will har-
vest about 45 acres. Will have
approximately 400 bushels.
Will expect to plant Or have
planted 100 acres this fall, sew
ed ! bushel to the acre, expect &c
sow same amount 10 the acre
this year-tfiink ! bushels to the
acre ample. sExpect to sew same
land in wheat again.
expect tQ!ist lend or double
ldisk as sool has .x;ssi5ie. @T'he
reason got such low yield was
that wheat was noG planted as il
should have been, we used one
hofse drill.
l think we can successfully
Iraise wheat if We will prepare
the ground as we should, and We
sure ought to make an effort tC
increase the amount of bread; fine
crops of wheat have been raised in
this county and we can do this
again if we will. Let us help
each other in this matter and |
believe if we will prepare cur
land as we should and plant the
wheat as it should be planted,
that we will another year, have
the pleasure of seeing field after
field of waving wheat enough to
gladden. the eyes of our food con
servatOrs.
Yours truly,
Lucius McAdam.
