"Old Home Town.

Pershing Day is to be celebrated
in Laclede on Thursday, July 4.
The celebration will be under
direction and control of Pershing
chapter of the American Red
Cross, this announcement being
definitely made by President Allen
Monday. 1t is not alone Laclede
affair but the celebration is to be
county and state wide, held at the
boyhood home of the great mil
itary leader on whom the Ameri
can people are depending to win a
victory over Prussianism that
threatens the very life Of our
country.
AS soon as the decision was
reached to hold the celebration
Mr.. Allen and Mr.. Bigger got
busy sending invitations to
speakers and while it is yet too
early to say just who they will be
it is pretty certain that Governor
Gardner and Rev. Jenkins Of
Kansas City will both be here, and
there will be others.
Work of formulating a program
will be taken up at once and every
member of the local chapter of the
Red Cross will be called on to help
in making the celebration fitting
to the occasion. This paper will
give the particulars and plans as
they develop. In the meantime,
every town and community in the
county is invited to cooperate in
doing honor to the commander
general of the American forces in
France.

Our New Serial

Today we publish the first in
stallment of a new serial. Con
fession of q German Deserter +"
1t is the inside story of Prussian
militarism, the thrilling personal
experience of a young German
engineer in the ravagiug and
pIundering of Belgium, the acts of
violence, murder and cruelty
against civilians committed by the
kaiser's army in it's memorable
campaign of 'kultur," as told by
himself.
The author of this remarkable
narrative was with Won Kluck's
army when il plundered its way
through Belgium. He was wound
ed at the battle of Mons and while
recovering in the hospital his
conscience revolted at the atroci::
ties committed by the TeutOn
troops. He finally succeeded in
escaping and making his way to
the United States. It is one of
the most sensational exposures Of
the war and is an unusually
story.

FROM RADIO SCHOOL
Laclede Boy Writes Of Experiences
at Newport, r. /.

AdPOAU VI. ObduuIy3 WIZ re-
Gently enlisted in the navy and is
now in training at the radio school
at Newport, r. l., has written to
Mrs. Allie Harter, acknowledging
receipt of a comfort kit from the
Ladies Aid Society, and his letter
is one of the most interesting yet
received from the boys in the
serviOe and we are pleased at the
opportunity to publish it in full:
Dear Mrs. Harter:
| am writing to, thank you, as
representative of the Ladies Aid
Society, for my comfort kit which
arrived some time ago. I have
been having to transfer so many
times and the training has been so
very intensive that l scarcely have
time to write at all. Otherwise I
would have written to you much
sooner.
So far I am we'll pleased with
my new life. Although the train
ing is rather hard and fellow is
kept on the go all the time, / feel.
that the experience and training is
fully worth the sacrifice of my
home life. / am learning to do a
great many things which l had
never done before. One thing of
which | am especially proud, that
of washing clothes. l believe by the
time l get out l can leave any
housewife in Laclede far behind in
putting out washings. We have
to wash every bit of clothing that |
we wear. Everything has to be
kept spotless so I have to wash
every day. Again, am a good
hand at scrubbing and mopping
floors, sewing on buttons and all
sorts of little jobs which | never
knew at home. A fellow has to
learn to do everything here.
The training station is situated
on an island about 2 miles from
the mainland of Rhode Island and
only quarter of q mile from the
island on which the city of New
port is located. On the north of
us extends the wide Narragansette
Bay almost as far as you can see.
On the east is Newport and the
Naval Hospital just about a
quartz of mile away. On the
south is Newport harbor with
Fort Adams across the harbor in
the distances. To the south west II
is the open ocean and on the west
is the mainland of Rhode Island. h
This country seems so different
from Missouri. AS you ride /
through the rural sections you see s
stone walls instead of barb-wire G
and hedge. The farms are small '
with large barns and homes. /
Most of them are the summer {
homes of wealthy eastern people. il
The lawns and grounds are surely
beautiful. The cities are close to- '
gether and every one has two, o
three or more large cotton mills {,
which affords labor. for large d
1umbers of people. The houses a
are all close to the street and are &
nearly all three stories high built

Albanian returning from a business
trip to the north and east got off the
train at the Brookwood Station of the
Southern Railroad, which is used very
conveniently by gentlemen having
luggage which they do not care to be
too closely inspected Instead of
picking up his suit case and toting it
out of the Pullman car himself, the
Albanian committed the unthinkable
blunder of letting the porter take it,
and that's where he dropped his
candy, for the porter slung it out of
the car on top of pile of other suit
cases, and it rolled off on the cement
walkway, and presently something be-
gan to leak out and run along the ce-
ment, and the Albanian grabbed up
the suit case and beat hasty retreat

ADDS TO HARDNESS or BRICK
scientist Explains Why Straw Is a
Necessary Ingredient in the
Process Of Manufacture.

Everyone is familiar with the story
or how Pharaoh commanded his task
makers to increase the burdens laid
on the Israelites by Withholding from
them the straw wherewith to make
bricks, says the Popular Science
Monthly, and doubtless many have
wondered wherein the hardship lay.
by most people, probably, the view has
been held that the straw was added as
a binding material, much as hair is
used in the mortar; but such an ex-
PLANTATION is scarcely satisfying when
1t is remembered that the straw fiber
US very weak one. Alexander Find
Gay says in his Chemistry in the Serv-
ice of Man.:
ABOUT fourteen years ago it was
'sound by DR.. E. G. Acheson, to whom
we owe the discovery of carborunAlm
and the process of making artificial
lgYphite, that when clay is mixed with
&iilute solution of tannin it becomes
aluch more plastic, and the strength
of the dried brick is, moreover, great
ly increased. Although straw does
not contain tannin it was found that
when straw is treated with water, the
extract obtained has the same action
on clay as tannin has, the Elasticity of
the clay and the hardness of the brick
being greatly increased"

GEORGIA LEGISLATURE
OPENS IN ATLANTA TODAY

Atlanta, Ga, June 26.-With the
opening today of the annual ffty-
day session of the Georgia legislature.
wa measures and the general appro-
priation bill will take first place on
the calendar of the house and senate,
as there is.a strong sentiment among
members of both bodies to DISPOSE
of these matters ahead of everything
else, and possibly abbreviate the ses-
sion and adjourn to time certain
in the fall for another abbreviated
session to take up any other war mat
tiers that may develop in the mean
time.
Important among the war measures
to be handled at this session are the
compulsory work bill, requiring every
able-bodied man between the ages of
Is and so years of age to work at
least FIVE days in the week; the bill
charging the powers and increasing
the appropriation. of the State Coun-
eli of Defense; and the bill allowing
soldiers to vote in the state elect
ions. All of these measures will
probably be given the right of way.
Another proposed piece of war 1egis-
lation is the adjustment of pool
rooms during the war. They have
been condemned by the special labor
committee of the State Council of
Defense as loafng places for idlers
and Migrants.
The general appropriation bill,
which is made necessary at this ses-
sion by reason of the fact that last
years general appropriation bill was
only one-year bill, instead of the
two-year bill which is usually passed
by the new incoming general assem-
bly,, will occupy great deal of time.
Practically all of the big departments
are asking for increased appropria-
tons to meet the increased demands
made upon them in connection with

HUFFMAN SPILLS THE BEANS

Secretary Kuhlman's speech on the
floor of the Reichstag and immediate
ly sent Kuhlnan a severe telegram
says an Amsterdam dispatch today.
General politics in Germany are
boiling. The Kasier is reported as
having consented to the acceptance of
Kuhlman's resignation as Foreign
Secretary since the secretary incurred
the enrnity of Won Ludendorff.
The Deutsche Zeitung calls Kuhl-
man "defeatist" and ALLY of inter-
national socialists" The Socialists
are bitterly attacking the speech of
the Kaiser and the militarists. They
deliberately accuse Austria of starting
the war with the sanction of Germany.

BRYAN COUNTY GETS
HANDSOME SILVER CUP

Atlanta, Ga, June 29.-The hand
some silver cup which was offered
by the Fourth National Bank of At
lanta to the county which had the
largest percentage of over-subscrip-
ton in the third Liberty Loan has
been awarded to Bryan county,
whose over-subscription amounted to
500 per cent. With a quota of $16,-
900, Bryan county went over the top
with total subscription of $4,000.
The cup, which is an unusually
handsome trophy, will be presented to
Bryan county with appropriate cere-
monies on July a. The federal gov
eminent will be represented by Treas
urer John Burke; the Liberty Loan
executive committee of the Sixth Fed
eral Reserve District will be repres-
ented by Chairman W. c. Wardlaw, of
Atlanta; the state of Georgia will be
represented by Governor Dorsey, and
the Fourth National Bank will be rep
resented by John A. Hynds, a prom
inent Atlanta attorney.
The cup was offered to the county
in the Sixth Federal Reserve District
which had the largest percentage of
ver-subscription, and the honor won
by Bryan county is quite a distin-
guished one, as the district comprises
the greater portion of six states.
