ODDS OF WAR AGAINST bessie
Is Not eBuiIt for Campaigning and
Does Not Come In Handy on
Forced March

With the American Army in France,
Oct. A COW is practical sort of
mascot, but not very handy on a
forced march. One machinegun outfit
is authority for this statement.
When the machine-gunners were up
on the Vesle river they captured a
COW one day while pursuing the Ger.
mans. They confiscated the COW, be-
ing unable to locate the rightful
French owner.
There was a debate as TO whether
Bossie's milk would be of more value
than her meat, and the "milks" won.
So Bessie was stored in some ruins,
and fed when feeding was not too
risky.
Then came the order to go back
the outfit was relieved after a strenu-
Gus weeks fighting. Bessie was lit
tie slow for fast marching and could
not so in a truck as the outfit did.
Finally, Il couple of ardent milk fans
offered to walk back with Bessie to
the rest positions.
1t was long walk. They had COW
cred 80 miles when the United Press
car last passed them.

FEARS FROM SWEATER

When the sweater was all finished

Linned to it the following note:
ITO the Recipient of this Yarn,
i mean sweater.--Do not credit
the bad or good of it to a lady. 1t
is my first try out at knitting and
hope to de better next time"
And now comes an answer to the
note, dated September 20, 1918:
From Iowa to Jersey,
Your Yarn has been spread,
It's warmth to comfort
An Elmira IN. W Red Head.
From here to training school
And then to France,
expect to journey
With your first chance.
Many thanks. It's fine.-M. c.

FACTORY SCORCHED.
SEWERS MFG. COMPANY SUI.
FERS FIRE DAMAGE.

Fire discovered a little before five
o'clock Saturday morning did consider
able damage to the Sewers Manufact.
uring Company plant on First avenue
west, between the Burlington and the
NJ. 4 st. L. tracks. The origin of the
fire Is unknown. 1t appears to have
started in the foundry building, mid
way between the large two story
brick factory building and the frame
building on the east, or in the frame
storage building at the south. The
flames had big start when seen by
a number of people in the vicinity,
The first alarm was turned in from the
Brooke Hotel on High avenue west
and others followed in quick success,
SION
The fire department was at the
scene of the trouble in double quick
time but found a big fire in progress.
Two lines of hose were laid and the
flames were kept out of the big two
story frame building along the east
side of the property. The department
did a clever piece of fighting.
The structure along the south was
entirely destroyed and the greater
part of the foundry building was burn
ed. The loss will amount to several
thousand dollars. The property was
partially protected by insurance.
