A HERO EVERY DAY
Brave Deeds OF men IN
Americas Fighting Service

An example of unique heroism and
sacrifice comes from Pvt. Eria C. Hof-
stedier of the United States marine
corps. When the marines were fight
ing for the occupation of Bouresches,
Hofstedler was wounded and was or
dered to the rear by his officer. In
stead of obeying the marine stayed to
comfort comrades more badly hurt
than he, tho his throat was parched
with the fever aroused by his own
wounds. One comrade called for wa
ter, in a voice agonised with pain and
thirst. Hofstedler unstrapped his can
teen and painfully dragged his way to
the other marine. ''Hers, pal" said
he, there's my canteen."
In recognition of his bravery, and of
his sacrifice, Hofstedler has been
awarded a distinguished service cross.
His mother, Mrs Beatrice Hofstedler,
lives at Birdell, Ark.

good, but her stock declined somewhat

OUR though GUY" MAYOR.

Mayor jay House has went" and
spoiled it all. He slipped out of town
last week. sneaked into Atchison, his
old home town-or rather, just one
of his old home towns-spoke to the
Rotary club there and gave away se-
crets that have been held faithfully
and religiously and fearful1y by his
friends. For instance here is what
the Atchison Globe had to say, in part,
about his speech:
"Mr. House spoke seriously and
sanely upon the war and closed his
tax by repeating verse. He asked
that nothing be said about it because
he declared that what little transitory
fame he might have achieved in Topeka
was based upon his being town bat
He. insisted IL the Topeka people
knew he came over here and delivered
sentimental war talk and reeited
poetry he would be practically ruined
Then the Globe goes on to say
something about our mayors past life.
For instance:
Some years ago young man, who
was beating his. way from Kansas City
car to find the freight train he had
Atehison. The yanng man prowled
himself with handouts from back
doors, was then chased by an officer
when he returned to the railroad yards
and later caught n side-door Pull
man at Huron, where he had walked
when driven from Atchison.
1 "That young man was Jay House
and the occasion was his first visit to
| this city. Last night Mr.. House was
| the honored guest of the Atehisen
| Rotary club. Mr.. House in a brief
span of years has climbed to real
| heights as he is now mayor Of Topeka"
But like the stories that end, 'the,
were married and lived happy eveI
after" the Globe, in a grand flourish
stated: :
Gas an after-dinner taiker Mayor
/ House is splendid. He is not only
humorous and out of the ordinary, but
his serious remarks carry conviction
as people know him as man who is
wholly sincere and who speaks what
he thinks. Mayor House Is of a rare
species: he says that when 1t becomes
necessary for him to write and talk
for effect and not as he thinks and be-
l lieves, that he will retire.
So endeth the last chapter!
