Meredith.

Des Moines, June 10.-''The greatest
thing that any man or woman can
do in the United tates is to devote a
few minutes or few hours each day
to the doing of some definite thing
that will help win the war" declared
E. T. Meredith, who arrived home yes

England and France as member of
an official commission.
81 have come back from the war
zone. not to entertain people by tell
ing them of what | have seen, or to
amuse them, but to impress upon their
minds more than ever that we are at
war and to educate them into doing
things now to win the war. so that We
may be spared from the things that

DELL EAST8URN TELLS OF THE
SCRAP IN NO MANS LAND

Dell Eastburn in letter to his mo-
ther, Mrs. Minnie Eastburn tells of a
little party out in no mans land that
sounds anything but pleasant at this
distance and it must have been that
much worse, close up. 1t makes a
strong story worth reading.
Somewhere in France, Mothers Day
| 1918.--Dear Mother: Here's hoping
you are well and happy. Hope father is
0. X. by this time. We have been hav-
ing target practice ever since we came
out of the line a few days ago. The
night before we came out we patrolled
NO Mans Land" and were nearly sur
rounded. We were going through a lit.
| tic patch of trees and had just step
ped out in the clear when fare went
up ahead of me and there they were:
big German patrol.
There were about ten of us and they
had about five times as many, so you
see how we were placed. We stayed in
the timber and they tried to work
around us TO the left. We kept work
ing to our right and got almost to the
edge of the little timber VIC were in,
then we saw some of the outfit trying
to get around to our right. They had
given themselves away by one man
coughing.
They saw us and all dropped. We
got our grenades ready and waited I'M
til we thought they had crawled close
enough, for we couldn't see them after
they dropped only a rustic now and
/ then told us about where they were.
! We hurled our grenades and beat it
back to our own trenches. We hadn't
any more than got there until they
began throwing explosives whore we
had been but they were too late. II
we hadn't been SO far out numbered
we could have had nice little gre
made and pistol party with them. All
the boys were cool as could be. Its
some grand life We are happy for it
doesn't pay to be any other way over
here.
Time doesn't hang very heavy on
our hands for we usually have some
thing to do. This time out it had been
rife practice. We go out and shoot in
the afternoon. | am seargent OF the
guards and made the round of all the
posts yesterday. Started about eight
and got back about noon. Some hike.
Some other company Will reNeVe
us in few days for we don't stay III
one place long. | am sending you
silk parachute. 1t is off of flare. A
flare is light that is shot from the
trenches on both sides. They go way
I'D in the air and break. Then this
little parachute opens up and they
float down making everything light as
day. While they burn. l Crawlcd out
in mo Mans Land" in the evening be
fore it got real dark and got this one
out OF tree where it had caught.
Otis Herbig went out with me to get
another one and we were shot at
three times but Germans are poor
shots. It's an accident if they hit you
after it's getting a little dark, any
way.
Well | can't think of anything elsc'
so tell every one hello for me.
Lovingly, your son,
Dell EaStburn.

In all, about seven thousand acres

for the republican nomination for
State Superintendent of Public In
gtruction will go to the state conven-

assured this afternoon with the re-
turns from eighty-seven counties COM

The figures were: Barr, 81 ,2SS; De-
zoe, 2S,O71; Joseph, 21,961; and
McClenahan, 21,S06.
Dean Barr now has a shade over 80

thought likely that he will not have
thirty-five per cent majority when
the complete returns are available.
