4 Enter Belgium.


I have said 1t was about the
eighteenth day after my escape that
I entered Belgium, but that Is more
or less guess work. ! was possibly
well into that country before / real
lied that had crossed the line.
About the third day after ] figured
I was In Belgium I started to swim
a canal just before daylight. was
then heading due north In the direc'
ton of the German lines. / was just
about the wade into the canal when
I heard q German yelling violently,
and for the first time knew was
being followed.
ran up the bank Of the canal quite
a distance and then swan to the op-
poslte side, as I reasoned they would
not be looking for me there. ! found
a sheltered clump Of bushes that were
in a swamp near the canal and In the
driest part that I could find / crawled
In and made myself as comfortable
as possible. The sun come up soon
and kept me warm. and planned to
camp right there. food or no food
until the Hun got tired Of searching
for me. / think I heard them once
or twice that day. and my heart nearly
stoned on each occasion, but eVi'
IDENTIFY they decided to look In some
other direction and was not further
molested.
At the same time I figured that II
was absolutely necessary for me 70
change my course. even at the e1'
pense of going somewhat out OF my
way. l decided to 60 due west ano
/ kept in that direction for four days

Il Germany thrown In.

Of Germany thrown In.
I suppose that during this expert
ence of mine I made many mistakes
and travelled many unnecessary miles
which one with knowledge OF wood
manshlp might have avoided and 1
failed TO take advantage OF many
things which would have been quite
apparent to one who knew. II must
not be forgotten, however. that ! did
not undertake this adventure volun-
tarily. II was wished on me-" /
simply had to make the most Of the
knowledge had.
At about this time blisters began to
appear on my legs and my knees
swelled. In addition I was pretty well
convinced that had lost the sight OF
my left eye. I hadn't seen thing out
Of It since my leap from the train.
When ! imagine the villainous ap-
pearance I must have presented at this
time-my unhealed wounds. eighteen
DAYS growth Of beard and general
haRgard and unkept visage-I think
the fear felt about meeting strangers
was perhaps unwarranted. The
chances are they would have been In
flnItely more scared than /!
As It was. was nearly out Of Lux
embourg before I came face to face
with anyone. II was about Q O'Clock In
the morning and was travelling along
a regular path. Just as was ap-
preaching q cross-path, / heard foot
steps coming down It. ! stopped short.
stopped over and pretended to be ad-
justlng my shoelace, figuring that II
the stranger turned into my path he
would probably pass right by me. AS
luck would have II. he continued on
his way and never noticed me at all.
After that I frequently noticed
groups Of Luxembourg peasants In
the distance but I usually saw them
first and managed to avoid them.
On the eighteenth. day after my leap
from the train crossed into Belgium
It had taken me Just nine days to gel
through Luxembourg-a distance
which a man could ordinarily cover
in two, but considering the handicapi
under which I labored ! was very well
satisfied with my progress.

W|LLN0T AFFECT
LOCAL BUSINESS

The question of fair price to
consumer has assumed large pro-
portions since the beginning Of
the war, due entirely to rise in
price of raw materials of every
kind and the slow increase in
remuneration of labor, which nat
urally couldn't without serious in
jury to business have to be more
steady.
The food administration is soon
to issue a fair price list and to be
spread throughout the nation and
merchants are asked to meet these
prices in every instant and if som.
unscrupulous dealer or dealers
does not obey these instructions
the consumers are asked to bear
the weigh of their influence upon
him or them.
The Times man has travelled ov-
er large portion of the state in
the last six months months and
knows whereof he speaks that the
Wahpeton mechants and dealers
of all kinds as a representative
body of good patriotic citizens are
selling OH closer margin than in
any town that he has been in.
The dispatch from Washington
is as fololws:

duce the cost of food to the con
sumner and standardize methods of
compelling the observance by
dealers of "fair price lists was
ordered by Food Administrator
Hoover.

sumers will be asked to cooperate

VOTED IN FAVOR Of CON-
S0uDAT|0N Of SCHOOLS

School election was held Tues
day and the two propositions, to-
consolidate schools No. l, 2, Z, 8
and 9 and to build new school
building to replace No. 3, brought
out the heaviest school vote ever
cast in this township. The first
proposition carried by a vote Of
81 to 79 while the proposition to
build a new building in No. 3 was
defeated by vote Of Al to 81.
Just why the latter proposition
was defeated we are at loss to un-
derstand. No. 3, commonly known
AS the Lake School, is one of. the
oldest buildings in the Township,
having been built about 36 years
ago, and is in miserable condition.
The pupils attending this school
are surely entitled to the same
consideration as; other pupils
throughout the township. Better
schools is an issue that should re-
ceive~the hearty support of every
voter: !

DRESS REHEARSAL

False RumOr Makes City De-
IiriOuS With Joy and Thou
sands Of MemphianS CeIe-
brate ALONG Main Street.

Memphis turned out en- masse Thurs
day night for a dress rehearsal OF a
peace celebration.
1t was fast work, in view Of the fact
that all is not over over there, the
fact that premature press dispatches
had led many to really believe peace
was at hand added to the effectiveness
Of the rehearsal. Crowds Of jubilant
men and women marched up and down
Main street. shouting with JOY oyer a
peace that had not yet been declared.
The city was virtually delirious with
joy.
But what a demonstration Memphis
should be able to put up when peace
actually does ONE Having had 4 fun
night of practice. she should he in
the best Of trim to do justice 10 the
best news that ever came over a press
wire-if the German envoJs should sign
the armistice terms.
The principal cause for the demon:
s~tration probably was the issuance OF
the mayors proclamation calling upon
loyal Memphians to make the city howl
over the coming of peace. The proola-
nation evidently emanated from the
city hall when the first false report
flashed over press and brokerage wires,
without waiting for confirmation.
