County Council Of Defense and Attor-

to Aid Local Registration
~ Board.
GO OVER DEFERRED LISTS
Following Meeting, the Board Recon-
mends Many Changes to the
District Board.

The members of the county council
IF defense, the attorneys of the coun-
ty and the members of the county
registration board held joint ses-
sion in this city Thursday afternoon
for the purpose of consulting togeth-
er regarding many changes in the
classification of registrants. -
Following this session large num-
Der of changes were recommended by
the local board to the district board.
All deferred lists were gone over
at this meeting and the circumstances
surrounding every registrant were
noted. 1t is necessary for the local
board to furnish 70 men in the first
of September call, which is the rea-
son for the action taken Thursday.
The members of the board did not
feel competent to recommend so
many changes without full informa-
tion regarding every man in the. de-
ferred lists. 1t was for this reason
that the county council of defense and
the attorneys of the county were call
ed together.

This War.

Mr., and Mrs. C. c. Booth of this city
are just in receipt of letter from
their son, Leslie, with the Rainbow
division. He is with Company G, hav-
ing been transferred from c company
in this city. His letter, written July
81, follows in part:
Dear Home Folks: l thought would
write you few lines, as have time.
1 hope this finds you we'll, as am the
same, at times.
We have done so much hiking the
last month or so that am worn out.
1 haven't had any rest since left the
hospital. / sure have seen some real
fighting since wrote you the last time
1 have been on two different fronts
since then. l suppose you have read
about it in the papers, the worst battle
that has been fought since the war
began, and the best part Of it all is
that / was there. l never want to see
another just as bad.

MAY BE ON WAY OVERSEAS

The most of the old national

near Deming, N. NJ, are probably on
their way to France.
For some time trunks and other
belongings of the men have been ar
irving here to be kept by parents
and other relatives until after the
war. This is taken to indicate that
the boys have left, or soon will.
1t is not believed, however, that all
the troops at Cody will go overseas
at least not now. Various organiza-
lions will remain on this side to as
sist in the formation of whatever new
division is sent to Cody. But it seems
quite certain that many of the men
at Cody, including men from Hamil-
ton county, are on their way over
seas. F,t.

great summer resort. The French
people come here for the baths, as
they go to Hot Springs in the States.
How did you celebrate the Fourth
of July? We were on the move that
day.
Have you been fishing much this
year? l have been near several riv-
ers and creeks, ubt never have been
fishing. Was swimming in the Marine
river not long ago though.
Some of the boys in our division
captured some German women chain
ed to machine guns, so they must be
short of men, if they are using wo-
men to operate their machine guns.
Well, think / will close for this
time as ! am getting rather tired.

An ENJOYABLE Picnic.

The annual picnic of the Congrega-
tional Sunday school, held on the
Outing club grounds Friday after
noon and evening, was highly en-
joyable affair. The weather was ideal
and more beautiful spot for such
a gathering does not exist. A large
crowd of children and grownups was
present. The picnickers began to
gather at o'clock in the afternoon
and it was not long until large num-
her had congregated. At 6 o'clock
the contents of the picnic baskets
were spread upon long tables under
the trees upon the lawn and every
body took an active part in this fea-
ture of the program.
I Following the picnic dinner pa
triotic pageant, entitled "Our Stain
less Flag" under the direction OF
Miss Rosalind Cook, was put on and
everybody Interestingly entertained
and inspired by the beautiful and
well planned spectacle. The two
leading personages, uncle Sam" and
Columbia" taken by Wallace Hamp-
ton and Miss Blanche Wilson, respec-
lively, were decidedly well imperson-
ated and the others taking part also
did exceedingly well.
Score another successful picnic by
, the Congregational Sunday school.

Force Payment Of Fair Price.

County food administrators, Varick
C. Crosley and J. w. Lee, have been
notified by the state food administra-
tion that complaints have come from
some sections of the state that eleva-
tors and mills have not been paying
fair price for wheat. Says letter
from the state food administration in
part:
If you feel as though any mill or
elevator in your county is not paying
fair prices to producers for their
wheat, have the producer send a two
pound sample of his wheat to the food
administration grain corporation,
Frank l.. Carey, second vice president
Minneapolis, MINI. Mr.. Carey will
grade the wheat and make returns to
the producer, also stating the price
the mill or elevator should pay for
same.
1t is the desire of the grain corpora
tion that the producer of wheat shall
have a fair price for his wheat, and
it is our desire to cooperate in every
way possible with the producer to see
that he obtains the fair Price.
If on investigation it is found that
the producer has not received fair
price for the wheat in question, the
mill or elevator will be requested by
the United States food administration
to reimburse the producer for the diff
ference in the price that he has paid
and the fair price the producer is en-
titled to.

Operator Steals From Railroad.

IF ' .
A days wages for one Walter Ray
were 1920 on Wednesday of last
week, but now he is wanted by the
Illinois Central Railway company and
the police here.
Ray blew into the division Offices
of the Illinois Central at Fort Dodge
last week looking for work. The
force in the local offices of the COM
pany was short an operator and he
was sent here, where he worked one
day. His Nemesis appeared in the
guise of local resident who purchas-
ed two tickets to point in Nebras-
ka.
Rail tickets are numbered consecu-
lively and are wound on core. In
stead of taking the Nebraska tickets
off the outside coil as he should, he
dug them out of the center, where
their absence would not be missed
until the entire roll had been sold.
This clever trick probably would not
have been discovered for some time,
only through the fact that the opera
tor had over charged the purchaser
81.
Returning to the station the day
following, the local resident lodged
his complaint and an investigation
was begun. However, the would-be
operator had sought more congen-
ial climate.

Two Letters From France.

Mrs. George Spencer has received
two very interesting letters from her
son, Roy Patterson, who is with the
Headquarters company of the Rain
bow division, now in active service in
France The letters, in part, follow:
Somewhere in France, July IA,
191S.-Dear Mother: received four
letters today. Aud take it from me,
its a grand and glorious feeling when
someone shouts "all out for mail"
We are having a big day today. 1t
is the French Fourth of July. We
had ball game, big fight and all
that goes with a big day in the U. S.
It seems rather strange to be play
ing ball within a mile of the big
show. When a man steals second,
the big guns come in on the root
ing.
You tell Mrs. Reese that Roy is
getting along fine. He wasn't wound
ed but had little touch of gas, not
bad at all. They shouldn't send
those cablegrams to a fellows folks.
That is, when he isn't bad. The only
gas that will ever get me will be
mustard. 1t might burn me a little,
but I'll never get any of it in my
lungs because 1 love my mask. And as
long as my two legs will work, I'll
find a hole to get into when they
shell us. They had us up last night
expecting an attack, but not a shell
came over.
Well, mother, it is nearly time for
soup, and after today's sports am
about starved. So must close for
this time. y
France, July 8.-Dear Mother: We
left the trenches and came back July
4. We weren't out long and all the
time we were, We hiked, so it's give
me the trenches every time.
We are in a new place, the swell
part of France. But it's shot up as
bad as any other place, SO it doesn't
make much difference.
It's too bad that grandpa isn't
we'll. He surely will be better soon.
You tell him that said they couldn't
keep a good man down.
Prices High.
Gee, but prices are high here. /
paid $1.4O for a pair of sox that
would make the owner of dime
store feel like robber to charge ten
cents for. A can OF jam that would !
cost about two bits in the states will
set you back $1.50. And say, at times
a piece of candy would be worth a
months pay.

French Thank Rainbow Boys.

Henry Ingerston, of the Freeman
Journal force, is just in receipt of an
order issued to the boys of the Rain
bow division by General Duport OF
the French army June 18th. 1t was
sent him by his brother, John, who
is with that division. A copy was Civ
en- every one of the Rainbow boys.
John prizes it very highly for it gives
unstinted praise to the Rainbow divi-
sion upon the occasion of the remov-
al of this division from the Lorraine
sector Of the western front. The or
der follows:
Sixth Army Corps staff, First Bur-
eau. General Orders No. so.
At the moment when the 42nd u.
S. Infantry division is leaving the
Lorraine sector, the commanding
general of the 9th Army Corps de-
sires to do homage to the fine mill
tary qualities which it has continu-
ously exhibited, and to the services
which it has rendered in the Baccarat
sector.
The offensive ardor, the sense for
the utilization and the organization
of terrain as for the laison of arms,
the spirit of method, the discipline
shown by all its officers and men, the
inspiration .animating them, prove
that at the first call, they can hence
forth take glorious place in the new
line OF battle.
The commanding general of the 9Th
Army Corps expresses his deepest
gratitude to the And division for its
precious collaboration; he particular
ly commends the distinguished com
mander of this division, General Men
cher, the officers under his orders
and his staff SO brilliantly directed by
Colonel Macarthur.
It is with sincere regret that the
entire 9Th Army Corps sees the 42nd
division depart. But the bonds OF
affectionate comradeship which have
been formed here will not be broken;
for us, in faithful memory, are united
the living and the dead of the Rain
bow division, those who are leaving
for hard combats and those who, al
ter having nobly sacrificed their lives
on the land of the east, now rest
there, guarded over piously by
France.
These sentiments of war esteem
will be more deeply affirmed during
the impending struggles where the
fate of free peoples is to be decided.
May our units, side by side, contri-
butte valiantly to the triumph of JUS
tice and right.
