Bear Ridge Braves

One of our best war correspon-

statement that this war has proven
there are no towards. When we
hear of men charging a "pill-box"
in the face of machine gun fire, or
scampering out into No-Man's land
to rescue a wounded comrade when
the bullets are falling like hail, we
are ready to agree with the corre-
spondent; but is this bravery con-
fined to the trenches or do we run
on to it now and then in every day
life? We are inclined to admit the
latter, which brings to mind an cpl
sode wherein five of our brave Bear
ridge boys almost captured hobo
who was villianously trying to find
a bed in a dilapidated barn.

hobo had struck a match in order
to find soft place to flop, and at
that very inopportune moment two

owner of the barn. This gentleman

surrounded the barn on all side.

possible to help win the war.

The attendance at the May Festi-
val Wednesday afternoon was large,
considering the fact the date was
announced rather indefinitely. The
program called for the flag raising
for the opening number, Dan Guy
and Harry Davis officiating. AS

the Star Spangled Banner and as it
reached the top of the pole the
audience Joined in singing the ma
tional anthem.
Rev. Emmel was then called up
on for short address and respond
ed in his usual energetic manner.
1t was in the nature of goodbye
address as he leaves soon for France.
The second part of the program
consisted of a grand march by the
school children carrying American
flags and the third part was the
crowning of the queen, Miss Berna-
dine Moser. Following this the
school children executed some very
pretty drills and folk dances. The
winding of the May pole was the
last event for the afternoon and the
crowd dispersed after singing
America.
Prof. White had charge of the
arrangements and Miss Elsie .Thom-
as trained the young people in their
various parts. They deserve much
credit for the pleasing manner in
which the program was given.

The Gazette comes as regular

but the Gazette is always welcome.
1t does me good to see that every
body subscribed for Liberty bonds
and am sure that most everyone
bought them willingly, although
some must buy them lat others

camp bought bonds and if they can
afford it, l think others can.
Some people might think we have
a snap here. We have-but the
spring is broke. When we are on
board ship we have to take our
turn at guarding, four shifts day
and night and our spare hours are
spent in gun and fire drills. We
roll out at 5:45 and our hammocks
must be lashed just so. We get to
bed at 7:30. 1t seemed almost i'm
possible to roll out at IL p. m. to
go on guard at first, but when one
gets used to it, it's all right.
And talk about Hooverizing! If
everybody Hooverized like we do
in the navy there would be no
wheat and meat shortage. Don't
think for a minute we are starving

would some of the Potlatchers think
if they were called to "chow" and
