RED CROSS ONE-ACRE
GRAIN DRIVE NOW ON
Are Asking the Farmers to Donate
the Proceeds of One Acre
After Threshing.

The Red Cross chapter of Sheri-
dan county is making one-acre
grain campaign, or in other words,
are asking the farmers to donate
the proceeds of one acre of grain
for the benefit of the Red Cross,
after threshing the coming fall. In
this way the farmer does not have
to pay out any money now, and he
does not have to give the grain off
from any particular acre, but only
gives one acre equivalent of the av-
erage acre product of the field from
which he gives the acre.
The committee has had printed
very attractive poster which is post
ed in the field in a prominent place,
from which the acre is given.
This is a splendid way to help the
Red Cross: the donation is not def
nite-the better the crop, the great
er the donation.
The following farmers have start
ed the ball rolling, which will not
stop until every farmer in Sheridan
county has Red Cross Acre card
in his field:

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
NORTHWEST OF VERDUN. Nov, T,
(By the Associated Press. six Ger

operating on this front prior to Fri
days advance have been identified.
Three of them were thrown into the
battle against the Americans a few
hours after the American offensive was
resumed.
These divisions were transferred TO
this front from tho Laon, Champagne
and Woevre sectors, II Is not known
how manv divisions were relieved by
the six divisions, hut 1t is presumed
that the enemy, after rushing them to
this front. relieved several very tired
divisions whose officers had refused
them time to rest.
The rapidity with which the add.

AMERICAN BIG GUN
PUTS GERMAN OUT

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON
THE SEDAN FRONT, Nov. I. (By the
Associated Press. )-American N Ger
MAJ big caliber guns recently had a
duel on this sector and the Americans
apparently came out on top.
About the time the Americans big
guns began operations against the en-
envy communication lines, the Germans
started Smelling Verdun and the region
north and northwest with u naval
weapon of large caliber.
The Americans Immediately began cal
culations to determine the position OF
the enemy gun and finally decided that
they had found its location. Then the
battle began. 1t continued day and
night for several days,
Suddenly one afternoon the German
big gun ceased firing and nothing has
been heard from 1t since. The American
gunners do not claim a direct hit, but
they do claim that the German battery
was compelled to withdraw even If the
heavy gun was not damaged.

Company of Seven Kenosha
Men in Ordnance Depart

Sunday Afternoon.
ARE READY FOR SERVICE

Seven Kenosha men joined the ranks
behind Pershing's line in France on
Sunday afternoon as delayed cables ar
irving in Kenosha on Monday after
noon announced the safe arrival in
France Of William Biennemann, Thad
Logan, Matt Zapf, Harry Gressinger,
Albert Brankow, Harold Gray and Lew
Jones. Safe and Sound without
anything but a little sea-sickness to
make the journey notable the cable
reads
These seven Kenosha men enlisted as
volunteers for work in the transporta-
tion corps of the ordnance department
way back in July and they have been
in training in several camps. They were
in the pink Of condition when they left
Camp Benjamin Harrison in Indiana on
the day after Christmas and it is
thought that they will demand little
preliminary training in France before
going with the army back of the French
lines.
This is the largest company of Keno
sha soldiers to arrive in France with
any one detachment of the army. All
of the boys are we'll known Thad Lo-
gan and William Bienneman won their
spurs as members of the police depart
ment in Kenosha and Biennemann serv-
ed with the United States army on the
alkah plains of Mexico during the re-
cent search for Villa. Brankow before
he went with the ordnance department
was in the employ of the county as a
guardian of the roads as a motorcy lie
police officer.
All of the men are expert automobile
drivers and with lots of training an /
with lots of experience before they vent
into training it is expected that they
will be among the first men of tn /
class to get to the thickest of the fight
ing. Letters from the boys are expec-
ed within fortnight and these will
bring the whole story of the journey
to France and the reception behind the
American lines. The arrival of this big
company of Kenosha boys in France
in going to carse the Kenosha people
to take a livelier interest in what
is going on at the French front.

BRING IN YOUR KNITTING"
Mrs. Cavanagh is Planning to Send
Another Shipment to Chicago on
Thursday of This Week.

eff you are working on a pair of
socks, a helmet, sweater, a pair of
wristlets or a scarf, finish them up and
bring them in to the Red Cross rooms
before Thursday afternoon, when Mrs.
Cavanaugh, Chairman of the Commit
tee on Knitted articles, is planning to
send another consignment to Division
from the knitting department of the
Headquarters in Chicago
This is the latest request emanating
local chapter and calling for immedi-
ate action among Red Cross patriots
now enlisted in this important branch
of service.
With the weather like it is, said
Mrs. Cavanagh this morning, 1--WE
must do everything we can to make as
many and as large shipments of knit
ted goods as possible. Yarn is a real
protection against pneumonia, which
has proved to date more powerful
against the American army than even
the shells of the boosted Huns
The men can t and won't knit,
she added with a little smile, '1and
the factories can't do it right-so it s
up to us women to make good and save
the lives of the soldiers both here and
over there. =
Mrs. Cavanagh is hopeful that the
response to her appeal will be suffici-
emily patriotic to make the next CON
signment the largest In the history of
the department and so bring to the To-
cal chapter new praise from Division
Headquarters in Chicago or possibly
from the National offices in Washing
ton, D. G.
