And right here is where the diff

seems that we all have. a narrow,
personal, 40. ,ar-and-eents vision
when We look at any project
which may be for the general
good of the town. We ask our
selves: Is there any direct
personal profit in ~this?" and
forget that. though we may not
gain dirictIy, we always do in
directly from anything which
benefits the community as a
whole. Lack of cooperation has
been very plain in Condor. i

Frit2's gun suddenly stopped in the
middle Of bar. We had cooked his
goose, and our ruse had worked. After
firing two belts each, to make sure of
our Job, we hurrledly dismounted our
guns and took cover In the dugout. We
knew what to expect soon. We didn't
have to wait long, three salvos of
"whiEz-bangs" came over from Fritz's
artillery, further confirmation that
weihad sent that musical machine-sun-
ner on his Westward-bOund journey.
That gun never bothered us again.
We were the heroes of the battalion,

was a neat piece Of work, and, conse-
Quently, we were all puffed up over the
stunt.
There are several ways Tommy uses
to disguise the location of his machine
gun and get his range. Some of the
most commonly used stunts are as fol.
lows:
At night, when he mounts his gun
over the top Of his trench and wants
to get the range Of Fritz's trench he
adopts the method Of what he terms
getting the sparks" This consists of
firing bursts from his gun until the
bullets hit the German barbed wire.
He can tell when they are cutting the
wire, because a bullet when it hits a
wire throws cut blue electric spark.
Machine-gun fire Is very damaging to
wire and causes many wiring party

Three days after we had silenced
Fritz. the Germans sent over gas. It
did not catch us unawares, because the
wind had been made to order, that is,
1t was blowing from the German
trenches toward ours at the rate of
about five miles per hour.
Warnings had been passed down the
trench to keep sharp lookout for gas.
We had a new man at the periscope,
on this afternoon in question; I was
sitting ON the fire step, cleaning my
rife. when he called out to me:

To disguise the fare Of his gun at

AN APPRECIATION

As we race down life's highway,
now and then we are joined by an
other pilgrim who pauses long enough
to exchange greetings, and we go side
by side long enough to see that there
are kindred feelings and that we are
racing for similar goals, and become
companions on the way. 1t has been
my fortune to look deeply into the
inner lives and feelings of but few
such men as | have raced this far in
my pilgrimage It is my part now
to speak of such on account Of the
passing from the realm of the living
to the abyss of the dead of my friend
DR.. Gordon. In our travelling the
pathway together not giving heed of
the road ahead he was grabbed by
the Reaper of Men and laid low sud
denly
On the 11th day of October, 1918,
Or. Gordon and | talked for a long
while just before breaking up the
work OF the day and departing for
our respective homes. He was un-
usually happy and mirthsome. The
next day I was told he was in the
grapple; that he might not live long.

PROCLAMATION

There are extraordinary reasons
for making the observance of Fire
Prevention Day in 1918 more effec-
tive than ever before. We are in a
world war and are in need Of all the
supplies, foodstuff, lumber and other
vital staples that can be produced
and every person should do all with
in their power to prevent fire from
causing a destruction of materials so
much needed.
President Wilson said 'Preventa.
Bile fire is more than a public mis-
fortune. It is a public dereliction.
At time like this of emergency and
manifest necessity for the conserva-
tion of our national resources, it is
more than a matter of deep and
pressing consequences that every
means should be taken to prevent
this evil"
Believing that it is an imperative
public duty and a test of good citi-
Zenship to seek the elimination o.
all unnecessary fire hazards, here
by proclaim
Saturday, November 2nd,
Fire Prevention Day,
and earnestly recommend that il be
observed by our people for remedying
hazards and removing the causes
which permit needless conflagrations.
The state fire marshal report for
1917 shows that more than 60 per
ment Of the fires Of our state are
preventable:
Therefore, all public buildings, fac
tories, stores and homes should be
cleaned OF rubbish
All heating, lighting and fire ex-
apparatus should be ex-
amined and, if necessary, repaired:
In all public schools on Friday af
ternoon, November 1st, a suitable
program should be arranged and pre-
sented to impress upon the minds
Of the children the necessity of fire
and how they can assist
n this work
The press, municipal officials. civic
organizations. business and profess
iional bodies and the individual cit
zens should give their attention to
his important matter upon that day.
