The first Paw Paw boy to appear
in the Overseas Casualty lists was on
Thursday, when the name of Roy
Timmons appeared in the list under
the heading Severely Wounded"
Roy is an Almena boy, but his home
post Office address is Paw Paw, and
he is well known here. The nature
of his injuries of course will not be
known for some time.
Thoughtless and careless auto driv-
ers marred the complete success of
Miss Van Gastel's address Wednes-
day evening. 1t seemed as though
there were some who took particular
delight in seeing how much noise they
could make in starting their cars and
driving through Main street, to the
annoyance and disgust of the large
crowd in the Chautauqua tent. "Cut
outs" were used freely and one car
in particular stopped directly in front
of the chautauqua tent entrance, sat
in the car and speeded up the engine.
One would think that any one, no
matter who he was or what had been
his training, would have grey matter
enough in his brain to at least have
some little regard for the rights and
comforts of others.
The readiness with which the
women of Paw Paw township are
signing the petitions favoring the
Suffrage Amendment at the Novem-
Der election, will effectually remove
the old argument that, "Women do
not want to Vote" The city and
seven school districts of the township
are being canvassed by very eff
cient corps of ladies with Mrs. Zilpha
Ferguson as Captain and Mrs. Grace
Miller as First Lieutenant. In the
village, Mesdames Earl Burhans,
Frank Miller, Fred Soule, Jesse Will
son, Eli Trey, William Killefer, Harry
Waters, J. C. Maxwell, Grasshorn,
Leon Douglas, Matte Brewer, c. w.
Van Tassell, David Anderson, Chas.
Hathaway, and Miss Scovel, and Elsie
futile are doing the work. In the
country districts, Mesdames Harry
Wilson, f. d. Johnson, Jay Hinckley,
Jay Lyle, G. w. Lee, David Burke,
lie wLabadie, Ernest MCGOWAN, r. f.
Boomer, w. r. Purington, and Miss
Ruth Shepard are on the job. When
these petitions from all over the state
are in, they cannot help but evert
powerful influence for the success of
this worthy cause.

was awakened by one of my mates
removing my smoke helmet. How de-
licious that cool, fresh air felt In my
lungs.
A strong wind had arisen and dis
persed the gas.
They told me that I had been "out"
for three hours; they thought was
dead.
The attack had been repulsed after
a hard fight. Twice the Germans had
gained foothold in our trench, but
had been driven out by counter-at-
tacks. The trench was filed with their
dead and ours. Through a periscope
I counted eighteen dead Germans in
our wire; they were CHASTITY sight IN
their horrible-looking respirators.
I examined my first smoke helmet.
A bullet had gone through 1t on the
left side, just grazing my ear. The
gas had penetrated through the hole
made in the cloth.
Out of our crew Of six we lost two
killed and two wounded.
That night we buried all Of the dead,
excepting those in No Mans Land. In
death there is not much distinction !;
friend and foe are treated alike.
After the wind had dispersed the
gas the r. A. NJ. c. got busy with their
chemical sprayers, spraying out the
dugouts and low parts Of the trenches
to dissipate any fumes of the German
gas which may have been lurking IN
same.
Two days after the gas attack I was
sent to division headquarters, in an
swer to an order requesting that cap
tains Of units should detail a man
whom they thought capable Of passing
an examination for the divisional in
telligence department.
Before leaving for this assignment
I went along the front-llne trench say
Ing good-by to my mates and lording it
over them, telling them that had
clicked cushy job behind the lines.
and how sorry felt that they had to
stay in the front line and argue out the
war with Fritz. They were envious
but still good-natured, and as left the
trench to go to the rear they shouted
after me:
Good luck, Yank, old boy; don't
forget to send up few Tags to your
old mates"
promised to do this and left.
I reported at headquarters with six
teen others and passed the required ex-
animation. Out CT the sixteen appli-
cants four were selected.

thought, in for q cushy Job back at the
