Lieut.. Ernest Wood of Co. M, 1913
Wis. Inf, en- route from Waco to Ho-
boken, went considerably out of his
way to bring report of the Edgerton
boys undar his command to their rela-
tives here on Tuesday last. In the
couple hours that ne was permitted to
stay he held a reception at The Carlton
to steady stream Of anxious parents
and friends. Lieut.. Wood assured ev-
eryone that the Edgerton platoon were
all doing fine but anxious for overseas
service. Co. M, he says, is the crack
company of Camp Macarthur and had
lately been chosen for an exhibition
drill for movie picture. Another
thing to the credit of the Edgerton
boys was that not one of the ga had
ever seen the inside of the gudrd house
for the infraction of rules, which is
considered exceptional. We are of the
opinion the 128th will soon be follow
ing him to some place in France.
One Of the most severe billiards
covering the middle west ragged for
thirty-six hours from Saturday evening
on-one of the old fashioned kind that
twisted and piled snow fall of more
than a dozen inches into drifts and
piles and filled the country highways,
suspending traffic of all kinds for
couple of days succeeding the storm.
Railway service was badly democrat
lied all day Monday and mails from
the east were not received until Tues
day morning, all trains being late or
suspended. All the rural carriers
started out Monday from the postofflce
but only reached few miles on their
routes before meeting impossible drifts
and returned. Quite number of the
teachers returning from their holiday
vacation were caught in the storm and
were missing when their schools opened
Monday morning. 1t has taken day
or two to clear off the snow banks,
break out the country roads and get
things back to normal conditions.
Sleighs are now the usual method for
getting about. Fortunately the tenn
perature was not as low as at some
other times when such billiards oc-
Cured.
