have a fine home a short distance
from Lawler. One morning they
awoke and looked out upon the
world anew. Every tree and fence
post doomed up bright yellow.
They drove to town to demonstrate
and when reaching the public square
they were Mortified to see looming
up before them monument eight
feet high surmounted by flag of
canary hue and the monument also
painted bright yellow with their
names in large black lettering on
all four sides of the base. Near
the top also in black lettering was
the inscription: Dedicated to the
Chickasaw County Slackers' Just
beneath were the names of every
member of the family except the
young lady who bought bonds.
An expert letterer had been sent
for to do the lettering. The whole
getup is very neat and substantially
built to stay. The best people of
Lawler are back Of this movement
and rightly so. A boycott has been
ordered, no merchant has been al
lowed to sell dollars worth of
goods or have any business deal
ings with them whatever. The
railway company has been asked
not to handle any Of their produce
and the citizens of waucoma, it il

Rotten Eggs Help The Kaiser.

Careful and conservative esti-
mates show that for the pas. five
years, during the period from June
LIST to October LIST, twenty-five per
cent Of all eggs produced were a
total loss and forty per cent were
materially deprecated in food
value. In order to save as much
as possible we recommend that pro-
ducers and dealers comply with all
city, state and federal regulations
in regard to Gambling and pur-
chasing. Remember-A rotten egg
feeds nobody, brings nobody any
profit and helps only the enemy.
Let everyone who handles eggs
heed these very necessary instru-
ctions that we may conserve the
largest portion possible of eggs for
our own use and for the benefit Of
our allies.

CHAPTER ".
The Prison Camp at courtraI.

The Prison Camp at Courtrai.
From the intelligence department l
was conveyed to the officers prison
camp at Courtrai in an automobile. 1t
was about an hours ride. My escort
was one of the most famous flyers In
the world, barring none. He was later
killed in action, but was told by an
English airman who witnessed his last
combat, that he fought game battle
and died hero's death.
The prison, which had evidently
been a civil prison of some kind before
the war, was located right in the heart
of Courtrai. The first building we ap-
preached was large and in front of
the archway, which formed the main
entrance. was sentry box. Here we
were challenged by the sentry, who
knocked on the door; the guard turned
the key in the lock and was admit
ted. We nassed through rhl, arc''was

form the hardest and saddest duty I
have ever been called upon to execute
to confirm to them in person the
tidings of poor Paul's death.
The other British pilot who fell was
also from my squadron and man l
knew well-Lieutenant Keith of Aus
tralia. had given him picture Of
myself only few hours before start
ed on my own disastrous flight. He
was one of the star pilots of our squad
ron and had been in many desperate
battle before, but this time the odds
were too great for him. He put up a
wonderful fight and he gave as much
as he took.
The next two days passed without
incident and I was then taken to the
intelligence department of the German
flying corps, which was located about
an hour from the hospital. There was
kept two days, during which time they
put a thousand and one questions to
me. While was there I turned over
to them the message I had written in
the hospital and asked them to have
one of their flyers drop it on our side
of the line.
They asked me where would like to
have it dropped, thinking perhaps I
would give my airdrome away, but
when smiled and shook my head, they
did not insist upon an answer.
"Tll drop it over -" declared one
Of them, naming my airdrome, which
revealed to me that their flying corps
is as efficient as other branches Of the
service in the matter Of obtaining valu-
able information.
And right here want to say that the
more came to know of the enemy, the
more keenly / realized what a difficult
task we're going to have to lick him.
In all my subsequent experiences, the
fact that there is a heap of fight left
in the Huns still was thoroughly
brought home to me. We shall win
the war eventually, If we don't slow
up too soon, in the mistaken idea that
the Huns are ready to lie down.
The flying officers who questioned
me were extremely anxious to find out
all they could about the part America
IS going to play in the war, but they
evidently came to the conclusion that
America hadn't taken me very deeply
into her confidence, judging from the
information they got, or failed to get,
from me.
At any rate, they gave me up as
bad job, and 1 was ordered to the OIL
GERS prison at Courtrai, Belgium.

and directly into courtyard, on which
faced all of the prison buildings, the
windows, Of course, being heavily
barred. After I had given my pedigree
my name, age, address, etc.-I was
shown to a cell with bars on the win
dows overlooking this courtyard. /
was promptly told that at night we
were to occupy these rooms, but had
already surveyed the surroundings,
taken account Of the number Of guards
and the locked door outside, and con-
Guided that my chances Of getting
away from some other place could be
no worse than In that particular cell.
AS had no hat, my helmet being the
only thing I had worn over the lines,
I was compelled either to go bare
headed or wear the red cap Of the
Bavarian whom had shot down on
that memorable day. It can be Inn
agined how I looked attired in Brit
Wherever I was taken my outfit
aroused considerable curiosity among
the Belgians and German soldiers.
When arrived at prison that day I
still wore this cap, and as I was taken
into the courtyard, my overcoat cover
ing my uniform, all that the British
officers, who happened to be summing
themselves In the courtyard, could see
was the red cap. They afterwards told
me they wondered who the 'bug Hun"
was with the bandage on his mouth.
This cap I managed to keep with me,
but was never allowed to wear 1t on
the walks we took. either went bare
headed or borrowed a cap from some
other prisoner.
At certain hours each day the pris-
oners were allowed to mingle in the
courtyard, and on the first occasion Of
this kind I found that there were IL
officers imprisoned there besides my
self.
They had here interpreters who
could speak all languages. One OF
them was a mere boy who had been
born in Jersey City, N. j.. and had
spent all his life in America until
the beginning Of 1914. Then he moved
with his folks to Germany, and when
he became of military age the Huns
forced him into the army. / think II
the truth were known he would much
rather have been fighting for America
than against her.
I found that most Of the prisoners
remained at Courtrai only two or
three days. From there they were In
variably taken to prisons in the 1nte-
rior of Germany.
Whether 1t was because was an
American or because I was flyer,
don't know, but this rule was not fol-
lowed in my case. I remained there
two weeks.
During this period Courtrai was con-
stantly bombed by our airmen. Not
single day or night passed without one
or more air raids. In the two weeks
I was there counted q of them. The
town suffered a great deal of damage.
Evidently our people were aware that
the Germans had lot of troops con-
centrated in this town and besides the
HEADQUARTERS staff was stationed there.
The kaiser himself visited Courtrai
while I was in the prison, was tod Dy
one of the interpreters, but he didn't
call on me, and for obvious reasons
couldn't call on him.
The courtyard was not a very popu-
'ar place during air raids. Several
ri,nes vhen = oirmen raided thsf
