HAPPY HOLLOW

49, '''' NhNS' >''"' 'J'Ai'''i :
celebrate their silver wedding Deem
Der 9Th. 1t was necessary to post
pOne the date on account OF the flu
but we look forward to a happy time
with this ~hospitable couple on tie
above mentioned date. We wish
them many more happy years of we'd
ded life. This will be one Of the long
TO be remembered .iates in Happy
Hollow, for we well know the Sjoholm
reputation for hospitality.
Brother Van the pioneer preacher
of Mellette county will preach ut Hap
DIV Hollow church at three o'clock
next Sunday. The du has subsidized
and now let us get together again and
be thankful that the war is over, that
our lives have been spared, and that
we have such a beautiful little church
to worship in. Let us make an effort
to be there promptly, 3 o'clock.
BROTHER v.
You can boast about your preachers
ShDuClng glory 10 one skies,
Yuu can brag about your kind If
church and talk of better guys
OF men who preach the Bible in a
Better way than he:
9ut the little man VanValkenburgh
is good enough for me.
You can harp about your churches
with their steeples in the clouds,
A;.d tilk about your Sunday School
and blow about your crowds,
You can talk about religion and say
his had to see
But the kind that little Van has got
is good enough for me.
Now little Van has been with rs five
full years or more
He met with us i'm rain or shine and
stood there by the door
In many a Happy Hollow shack n
preached without a fee
| say the man VanValkenburgh is
good enough for me.
You kin smile and turn your nose up
and joke and feel just fine,
You kin laugh and boiler even yet,
and work the other line,
If the other suits you better. why
that's where you ought to be,
But there's some in Happy Hollow
still sticks up for Brother V.
OF course Vans only human like the
rest Of all mankind,
If it's faults your lookin after, why
that's what your going to 6nd,
But, If you look for good traits and
his virtues try to see,i
You'll find some mighty good things
in little Brother V. L. G..

Silver Tube Taken From
Boys Lung by Using X-ray

- Los AngeIes-A little boys life has
been saved by the miracles of mod
ern surgery, that but a short time
ago would have been almost inevitab-
ly lost.
Victory was won by the successful
use of the X-ray by two local surg
cons in facilitating one of the most
intricate and rarely successful opera
tions-that of removing a foreign
body from the lung.
In Glendale the life of the six-year-
old son of Mr.. and Mrs Milborn was
saved by the removal of a piece of
silver tubing (about one and quar-
ter inches long) from the bronchial
tubes of his right lung.
The outstanding feature of the case
was that the entire operation was
performed upon an X-ray table un-
der the direct vision of the X-ray op-
orator, who was thus enabled to
guide the surgeon in his difficult and
delicate work of extracting the tube
from the recesses of the lung. BY
this means, the whole operation was
successfully accomplished within the
space of only two minutes, and the
child now lies in tthe Thornycroft
Hospital well on the road to complete
recovery.

AROUND THE BASES

Lieutenant Levi l.. Lamb, men
toned to the casualty list from
France as severely wounded, was
one of the most brilliant athletes
who ever wore the colors of Penn
State. Lamb won fame on the foot
ball field, the wrestling mat, and as
weight man on the track team.
ON the gTidiron. he played bril-
liant football for Penn State at right
tackle for three years. His prowess
as placement kicker hung up many
points for the Blue and White. Lamb
booted two field goals against Har-
wards famous 1913 team, enabling
State to tie the Crimson, 3 to 10.
Eddie Collins, second baseman for
the Chicago Americans. will play his
last game this season at Boston next
Thursday, leaving that night for
Philadelphia, where he will join the
Marines. The recent order putting
the ban on further enlistments will
not affect Collins, as he had made
his arrangements to join the navy
before the order was issued, he said.
One of the greatest surprises ever
recorded in trapshooting was the
winning at Chicago of the American
known marksman, John d. Henry, of
Elkhart, Ind. He tied with Henry
Pendergast, of Phoenix, n. Y, with
a score of 81, and in the shootoff
at 20 targets. the Westerner won,
Is to IT.
Henry, who shot from 16 yards, is
an Inexperienced shooter, and is
rated in the S2-per cent. class. This
tourney was the second registered
shoot he ever attended, but he, broke
the targets like a veteran, although
he met a seasoned shooter in Pen
dergast, who shot from % yards.
There was some rare sport over
in the Susquehanna yesterday when
the swimmers rugged up a diving
board on one OF the sand flats. Some
of the lads thought they were doing
a real stunt by diving six feet in six
feet of water. This would not be a
feat for a child out in California
where swimming is common. Out
there surf diving is the thing. 1t is
the most graceful dive that can be
made into the ocean, but it is diff
cult. The bather runs to the waters
edge, leaps high into the air, comes
down in Jack knife" position and
dives into six or twelve inches of wa
ter. Sounds impossible? Not at all.
The trick is in landing on the chest
and hands, but the dive is executed
so rapidly that the diver appears to
be hitting the water head foremost
If he did this in reality he might
suffer a skull fracture.
Diving into shallow water is alto
together knack of form. We have
seen divers come off a twenty-foot
elevation head foremost into water
three feet deep. They hit the water

are not consulted whe1 the call to
colors is made.
If accurate shooting ability is
taught at home, G is a guarantee
of personal safety from accidents
and the gun operator is not a men
ace to his comrades through mex
perience. II also insures mastery
and crushing of Prussian militarism
at a much earlier date.
General Pershing states that "A
soldiers efficiency is based upon
shooting 20 per cent, tactics and
other accessories 80 per cent" This
in itself conveys an idea of a post
graduate course in shooting.
This educa tional fact also applies
to our Boy Scout organization, when
lad is of sufficient age to become a
member of the Boy Scouts, he is
then of requisite age to be taught the
use and handling of firearms. The
staff is useful on hikes, gun tlnowl-
edge is ever essential and NECESSARY
as a personal friend protective and
national measure.
Every American soldier now grac-
ing the khaki uniform is being in
tensively trained to handle and shoot
a gun. In his home correspondence
with relatives and friends, he is in
terest in nome circles. This grand
army will soon return to their ma
tive soil, educated in skilful shoot
ing and anxious TO try conclusions in
trapshooting with their civilian
friends. a returned army of trained
to-the-minute expert trapshots.
They will be anxious to popularize
and perpetuate the grandest and
most patriotic sport in, the world,
both from a pleasure, combined with
the preparedness phase, the very
best guarantee of permanent peace.
Trapshooung at this time, touches
a most popular chord, this major
sport should De endorsed from every
angle of social life. Municipal. au-
thorities should encourage and Sec
tions of public parks, of easy access
to the general public, should be set
apart and equipped, where trap
shooting could be practiced both
now and hereafter, making it uni
versal sport, which has proved a
most salient feature in the winning
of the worlds war and will be one
of the factors in assuring a perma-

Father w. w. Whalen, of Bu-
chanan Valley second assistant rec
tor of st. Patrick's Cathedral sew
eral years ago, has received the fol-
lowing interesting letter from his
brother, Tom Whalen, who is in the
trenches in France with the Sew
enty-sixth Artillery.
II enjoyed your letter very much.
The Hun is making things
pretty warm for our boys. The shells
go buzzing over our heads, playing
discordant music that doesn't sound
like Home, Sweet Home This is
mop lace for a minister's son, for one
would love to say things at those
humming shells. You know how it
is. We must take things cool, even
though the Hun is doing his dardnest
to make things hot for us. The Hun
seems to envy us our good health,
and then he looks so sick when he's
caught.
People fancy the Germans are
wonderful fighters. That's a big mis-
take. The Huns even throw up their
hands. open their mouths and howl,
and shut their eye swhen they see
the cold steel coming to get ac-
quainted with their gizzard. The
Hun has a broad. yellow streak, and
does not die game. The Americans
seem to me the best fighters in the
world. They stick like molasses.
You can't drive them out of the
trenches.

I've hopelessly lost my wafstline. I
don't need a belt or suspenders any
more. Sometimes it seems to us fell
lows unfair to take so many pris-
oners, to eat, drink and be merry
at the expense of our government,
while poor little kiddies here are
starving. They go about with wooden
shoes on their mites of feet. You
ought to see them.

a month. There isn't much chance
of my hooking up. for I can't jabber
French. Lord, it seems to require
so much shoulder and hand move

how the couties live on blue devil

SO much movement to him from the

there's an earthquake somewhere.
