Tao. and Charm.

Dinner conversation offers the OPP
portunity to eliminate all disagreeable
topics. To lay aside ones worries and
keep ones troubles from obtruding.
The same should be said of all occa-
sions and good form particularly de-
notes that dinners, and formal dinners
at that, should be freed of personal
burdens retailed.
At all times give interest as well as
try TO inspire it and one Of the en-
phatic ways is to let the person who
happens to be speaking have your UNI
divided attention. Attention and con-
centration amount to about the same
thing and should apply to what one is
oneself saying as well as hearing.

MARSHFIELD
Enrol Rolfe at Front in France Since
February.

A letter written TO Mrs. Alma A. Tut
from the front in France, gives an inter
esting insight into life in the trenches,
1t is as follows:
Dear Sister; How are you getting
along on the farm hope that you and
the boys are as well and healthy as /

mother write that you are not getting
any news from me. Well, Sis, here is
hoping that you will get this letter.

hog fat and lousy And that is no lie.
You know that we do not get very much
to read here, but when we have nothing
else to read we read our shirts. That is
what we call it when we see one of the
boys looking over his shirt to see how
many coolies he can find
Well, Sis, we are on the lines and have
been since last February. We have not
seen any rest camp yet and do not expect
to until we have the Huns licked. We
may not have them licked yet, but we
have given them some good lickings since
we got our finger in the pie.

ing this letter. / am lying on my stom-

could see us it would not be very long
before they would begin to feed us iron

that iron is good for the system, still we
object to the way those fellows insist
on giving it.
We have been having some fine wealth

We. have had some pretty hot times,

The ase Of Chas. G. McGonegal.

noteworthy mention In a business let
ter from Chicago.
Several months ago McGonegal had
both hands shot off during an attack
while in the first line trenches on the

wounded lad is shown by the follow
ing postscript which vas added to a
business letter from the Continental
Insurance company ONCE at Chicago
to the H. Bendeke Co. Of this city and
is as follows:
THE writer heard a very interest
ing address on last Sunday evening by
a prominent gentleman who had just
returned from the western front.
Among other things he told a notable
incident concerning an American
soldier by the name Of McGonegal,
who, he said, was from Grand Forks,
N. d. He told Of visiting a hospital
and asking to be shown one Of the
most seriously wounded men therein.
He was led to Mr.. McGonegal and
had quite a little visit with him. He
was in excellent spirits and when in
formed that he would be sent home as
soon as he was in condition to make
the trip. stated that he had just one
request to, make and that was that he
be permitted to make one more trip
to the trenches. The case was cited as
an example of the fine spirit which is
being shown by the men who make
up the American contingent and

having made such a noteworthy con-
tribution to the common cause."a ,

Another splendid feature of the
mornings program was. the story

to the value of the right kind of
