duty unsurpassed by any other troops
From the instant they leaped from
their trenches they ran into Shippers
and hordes of machine guns. German
infantrymen, spurred on by their Off
GERS stood up before them, offering
hand-to-hand combats.
Some of the stories of the men VINO

back and forth with the men so close
to each other that rifle butts were Just

masses of machine guns which Were
camouflaged and held their fire until
the Americans were close upon them
The Americans went right on and were
on top of the guns before they began

The "split log drag is coming in
for extraordinary praise just now.
Six weeks ago it looked as if all our
best roads had gone to ruin and they
never would be good again. But the
general testimony is that the roads
are getting right again. The drag is
what has done it. The different town
ship supervisors have been putting in
full work and good work, and the
roads are now in pretty good shape.
The split-log drag is a great insti-
tution-especially when it has a good
township supervisor behind u.-York
vile Enquirer
And so we are glad that the old
split log drag has found so strong ana
so good friend as the Yorkville En-
quirer. It is g.. good tool, but it is

skill behind the tool not worth
much. This is fine time to put the
roads in fairly good condition by the
proper application of the drag.
It is also true that to get the best
results. as a farmer told us the other
day. many Of our clay roads should
have top dressing of some kind,
and in this county that top dressing
may be found alongside the road in
easy reach in nearly, if not ali, sec
