Private Moody Favored

When Private Howard Moody came
home to visit his parents, about two
weeks ago, he did so without securing
official permission. As matter of fact
the boy got homesick, and as he had
been unsuccessful in securing a fur
lough, he simply left camp and came
home. This constituted, of course, a
rather serious military offense and
Howard expected to be punished for it.
But he expected to be sent away soon
and the thought of seeing home before
that time came seemed to him to be
worth the punishment that might be
inflicted. His whereabouts were made
known to his superior officers and when
he returned he was arrested, as he
knew he would be. In the trial that
followed it was brought out that he had
been denied furlough, but the colonel
was unable to condone so serious an
offense and sentenced him to sixty days
in the guard house. This happned on
Saturday and on the succeeding Mon
day the colone's heart became as man.
ifest as had his sense of duty a few
days before, because Howard was re-
leased from confinement and returned
to active duty after serving but a few
hours of his sentence. At present he
has been transferred to an engineering
regiment and has written his parents
that he is well satisfied with his pres
ent service.

Letter from DR.. White

The following letter written to the
editor by DR.. P. E. White. will be of
interest to the many friends of the lat
ter, in this vicinity:
May 81, 1918.
Friend Mr.. Reed:
AS you will note, we are in the state
of S. Dakota, arriving here about two
weeks ago. We are most beautifully
and comfortably situated and all profit
ing by the change.
This is the most beautiful and pros
porous farming country that / have
ever seen, and l think would rank as
such with any state in the union. The
soil is rather heavy black loan, which
works up very easily and fine, having
no tendency to bake and lump. Crops
look very fine this spring, and barring
the unexpected and unforeseen they
will have a record harvest.
Corn is from six to eight inches high,
wheat and oats in proportion, the
spring wheat being the only variety
which they have any success with here.
Alfalfa is standard product taking the
place of timothy and clover seeding in
Michigan. Stock raising is the main
industry, am seeing large herds of Here
fords on every farm. On account of the
large production of corn, hogs are also
raised in large numbers. | saw drove
of one hundred fifty fat hogs driven in
to town by one farmer one day last
week.
The air is so clear that it acts as a
tonic, giving one an enormous APPETITE
and enabling him to sleep soundly at
any time.
| attended the meeting of the State
Medical Association at Mitchell last
week. 1t is very prosperous little
city of about 8, 900 people.
My health is improving rapidly and l
am beginning to think of home and
work. Will be able to return July lst
sure, and resume my practice. Please
give my regards to all inquiring friends.
The very best wishes and regards to
all of you.
Yours very truly.

Obituary
SCHoFIELD

GAhOflELD
Joseph Schofield, aged 78, of Mt.
Morris township. died at the home of
his son, Henry, last Thursday. He was
one of the early pioneers of this Sec
ton of the state, having lived in Mt.
Morris township since 1841, and at the
time of his death was considered its
oldest resident. When he was small
boy Pontiac was the nearest point
where grist mill could be reached, the
necessary trips thither being made with
OK teams, while the site of the village
of Mt. Morris was marked only by a
trail through the woods and Flint was
a mere backwoods settlement of few
humble dwellings. In speaking of his
childhood days he often remarked: 81
have gone to school where there were
more Indian boys and girls than whites. I"
Mr.. Schofeld leaves two children, Hen
ry Schoheld, of Mt. Morris township,
and Mrs. Walter Lonsberry, of Flint.
Funeral services were held from the
Mt. Morris M. E. Church last Monday,
Rev. Henry Schofield, officiating. In
terment in Union cemetery.
Born, June 6, to Carl Acheson and
wife, son. Congratulations.

Alaska Organization Pass eS Resolutions Asking for $2O an Ounce
 on Gold Mined.
THE OUTLOOK IS GOOD
B. L. Thane Writes That Government Will Probably Act to Prevent ReduC-
 ton in Gold Output.

The Council of National Defense yesterday passed resolutions asking that the Federal Government pay a bonus of $2O an ounce for gold pro duced in the United States during the progress of the war and for limited time after it's close for the purpose of keeping the production of the metal to a maximum The reso- lution followed a recitation of the causes for it's adoption, which were based on the circumstances that the prices of practically other commodi- gold has remained stationary, and is now produced and mined at a loss in most of the mines.
 The action of the Alaska Council of National Defense is similar to that of the Councils of National De fense and commercial organizations of Colorado, Utah, Nevada and Ari zona Canadian organizations also have approved the idea of a bonus for gold, and those interested in the movement write from the East that Canada will take whatever action the United States takes.
 In letter to Superintendent E. V. Daveler of the Alaska Gastineau mill at Thane, Bartlett l.. Thane writes that there is a very good chance to secure favorable action on the proposition to get the Gov ernment> to, give bonus for geld. He says Delegate Charles A. Suizer is throwing his whole ability into the fight, and that his standing at Washington is very high and his in fluence widespread

ALLIED PLANES
 ARE. EQUIPPED TO GARRY BOMBS
Some of the Lessons Learned During the Present Worlds
 Conflict.

WITH I'll EAMERICAN ARMY IN ENGLAND, Aug. z. - Almost every airplane used by the Allies soon will carry bombs. Experts in lerial warfare are convinced that the general efficiency of the corps will increased if a bombing device is added to every plane sent out, even though it be of the type once intended only for recognizance work, and Americans now training in England are beinig as cheerfully drilled in bombing as in handling a machine gun
 Lessons learned during the resist ance offered in the recent offensive has served to increase already high regard of both British and Ameri- can officers in the air-service for the lowfying, bomb-carrying craft, and, over the camps and country side where aviators are being train ed, planes are in evidence almost every hour, dipping down from high
 in the air and skimming the near by country, barely missing treetops and houses. It is the newer les son they are learninig, and observ- DTS back from the front where the Allied planes did such remarkable work not only in scouting and dis tracing the enemy but actually in breaking up formations and at points checking the onward movement have urged concentration on that form of training.
 British trainiers, detailed to Am erican aviation camps, have been liberal in their praise of the new fliers from overseas, their only crit icsm being that Americans are "a bit too keen" Their tendency has been to go in for flying stunts rath- CT too early in training but even this the trainers have admitted is a valuable fault, although one not to be encouraged
 It has been pointed out to the Americans that team work as well as individual efficiency is a prime requisite and the Americans have steadied themselves to the routine their trainers have found for. gen. eral advancement, if not for indi- vidual applause. Fancy flying, the acrobatic work that once found fa- for and drew heavy gate receipts at aerial exhibitions in the United States, still is taught but the learn ing of that form of flying also has come to be regarded merely as routine and wholly incident to the steady, low flying desirable for at tacking camps and troops in for nation.

WASHINGTON. Aug. [. = Trash heaps in England, which have given up thousands of dollars worth of waste fats for use in making muni- tions. now are being robbed of their picturesque adornment of tin cans, which likewise will do their bit to- ward putting the German Army back where it belongs
 Necessity for conserving metal absolutely indispensable to the con duct of war virtually has eleminat- ed the use of new tin from civilian pursuits. It's place is being taken by salvaged tin. gathered in the dumps and alleys of the eities, and by various substitutes, such as paper and cloth containers.
