was heard to murmur:
81 wonder what the old man will
say"
That is what the Y. NJ. C. A. Won
ders, as today the association address
es to ''the old man" an appeal for him
to PICK up stakes and follow his boy
overseas to wear the uniform of the
Bed Triangle. Before September l the
4 VI. c. A. must recruit 1000 men and
@Psmen to share the burdens on the
Testern front with the more than $500
workers who are already there.
To those who do not know that the
British Y. NJ. c. A. has 10000 work
ers in the British armies, and that the
American Y. VI. c. \. has been charged
with the responsibility of providing
recreation for the fighting men of the
United States and keeping up their
morale, it is perhaps inconceivable,
says writer in the New York Trib-
une, that the men of this country
above draft age should be asked to give
up their business to go overseas with
their sons and their younger brothers
who are not too old to fight.
Part of the War Machine.
The facts are clear. The Outstand-
ing fact is that the Y. NJ. C. A.. while
retaining its individuality as n civilian
organization, is an integral part Of the
military machine. And the association
is a part of the military machine not
only Of the American expeditionary
forces but of the French and italian
armies as well.
The Y. NJ. c. A. was in the great
war long before General Pershing land
ed on French soil. General Pershing
went TO the western front with several
clear-cut notions of how best the Amer
lean troops could do their part in the
winning Of the war First, he deter
mined that his army should be a clean
army; he believed that the best use
that could be made of a man in uni
form was to put him in the fighting
forces he sought to transfer as many
Of the nOncomhatant functions Of his
army as possible to some responsible
agency. The Y. NJ. G. A. got the Job
because the Y. NJ. C. A. had the organi-
ZatiOn. Since then other volunteer or
gani2ations have gone to France to
help. All are welcome. Salvation Army,
Knights of Columbus and so on. The
''Y" bears the brunt because of its size.
Hut Keeper Does Little OF Everything.
This man with the Red Triangle on
his sleeve is over draft age. The "Y'
would not have him there if he were
not. He has no rank, but even the
officers salute him, because they say,
he is there through the impetus of
service. The shells may fall all around
him, but it is extremely unlikely that
the Croix de Guerre will ever be pinned
upon his breast. He is unarmed be-
cause capture by the Germans under
such circumstances means death i'm
mediately.
What is his job?
Well. his hut is the club Of the trench
or billet The "Y" is the general store.
It is where the men meet when they
are not on military duty. The man in
charge sells or gives away some of the

Cops Stand the Strain.

A well-known scientist informs us
that closing the eyes and relaxing the
muscles for a space of five minutes
several times day helps one to stand
the strain of wartime conditions. And
here we have been blaming the cops

cellent thing, especially when they

Bad manners often jar severely on
people who are well hammered. A
boor is not likely to suffer much from
the boorishness of others. A sensi-
tive, well-bred person to whom good
manners are second nature is so
keenly conscious of lapses in others
that he is liable to suffer from 1t.
And then, wnen almost intolerabie
"breaks" are noted, comes the tempta-
ton to show or speak ones impa'

thus tempted it will be well to recall

Marvellous Grand Canyon.

Those who have lived with, rather
than glanced at, the Grand Canyon be-
come increasingly moved by its glories.
1t has inspired more literature and
art than all the other scenic places OF
America combined. 1t is the center of
a steadily increasing pilgrimage Of
painters. 1t perhaps may be said that
the Grand Canyon and the region of
which it is the climax inspire the high
est as well as certainly the most ex-
tensive expression of landscape art in
America today.

SOLDIERS IMPATIENT
DESERTIONS FROM ARMY CAMPS
ON THE INCREASE. 3

Des Moines, Ia, Nov. 26.-County
the national defense council to assist
in the apprehension of deserters from
army camps. 1t is claimed hal with
val over many men are so eager to
get back to their homes they are de-
sorting, Notwithstanding that this is
the most reprehensible act possible in
the army and is punishable by death
if the extreme penalty is enforced.
A telegram forwarded to the state
defense council officials here from
the national council headquarters at
Washington says:
"The adjutant general urgently
requests your state council and local
councils not TO relax your efforts to
assist the wal department in the ap-
prehension of deserters throughout
the entire rehabilitation period. De-
sertion now cripples execution OF
plans for well regulated demobiliza-
ton. Desertion not followed by
prompt apprehension and return OF
the deserter to camp breaks up the
morale and leads to other assertions.
Unpublished desertion and violation
of the military law leads to civil dis
order and lawlessness.
Temptation to c~onnivance by civ
ilians, especially in home commune
ties, makes apprehension of deserters
especially difficult now"
The telegram further points out
that desertion is a serious crime for
which the punishment is death.

LETTER NOT MAILED
SOUTH DAKOTA SOLDIER KILLED
AFTER WRITING.

Mt. Vernon, Nov. 26.-In far off
France on October IA Mckinley
Pound, a young South Dakota sol
der serving with the Americans on
the fighting front, in an interval of
a battle wrote a letter to his sister,
Miss Ethel Pound, residing with her
parents on a farm near Mt. Vernon.
The letter was not mailed, he having
placed it in his pocket until an op-
portunity presented itself to mail it
to the home folks. He went through
the days fighting without getting a
scratch.
That night, as he lay sleeping, a
German shell exploded near him,
killing him as he slept. In the morn
ing an officer found his dead body.
A search of the dead soldiers cloth
ing revealed the unposted letter
which he had written to the home
folks and which the fortunes of war
willed it was to be his last.
Taking this letter the officer wrote
on the reverse side of one of the
sheets the sad news of the death of
young Pound and mailed it to the
dead mans relatives in South Da-
kota.
Before the letter reached them the
Germans had signed the armistice
terms and the war was over. The
sister, father and other relatives of
young Pound were eagerly looking
forward to the time of the homecom-
ing of the son and brother when they
received his last letter to them, with
the news of his death written on the
reverse side of one of the sheets by
his officer.
The officer spoke in terms of high
praise of the soldierly qualities of
young Pound, stating that he was a
gallant and brave soldier, and that
under the direction of the officer he
had been given a Christian burial.

POULTRY RAISING
DAY COUNTY FARMERS PAID BIG
SUMS FOR THIS SIDE LINE.

Webster, Nov. 26.-The farmers of
South Dakota are receiving an aggre-
gate of many thousands of dollars
from the sale of poultry and other
farm produce, to the production of
which they are each year paying
more attention. An idea of the mag
nitude to which this side line of farm
activities has grown is furnished by
the record made by local shippers of
poultry and eggs.
Thus far this year a total of 200,-
900 pounds of poultry and 10000
cases of eggs have been shipped from
here to eastern markets. A single
firm has paid farmers an aggregate
of $125,00O for eggs and poultry pur-
chased from them. This amount rep
resents 1881 cases of eggs and 1885,
448 pounds of poultry. The poultry
shipped from Webster consists of
turkeys, chickens. ducks and geese.
1t is believed the poultry will con-
tinue to grow On the farms of this
territory.
