Viola Dana at the Hip.

Back in the mountain regions of old Virginia lived the cutest little moun- tain maid one would want to see Just the kind dainty little Viola Dana knows how to play and this girl was entitled 10 love just as all of her sisters have been entitled since the time that history tells us Eve dis obeyed. But this mountain girl did not know the rules that convention places in front of the untutored girl and she fell in love with q man who was much different from her in sta ton and education. Her mountain men folks did things by a rule of the hills and they proceed to carry out the time honored traditions of their section when the girl" got in bad. One who likes the refreshing ingenuity of the unspoiled girl of the hill coun- try coupled with the charm that al ways spices a love affair no matter where it may occur, this is sure to please. Viola Dana, petite and win some, is cast for this slip of waif of the hills and from the critics view point right cleverly she plays it.

War Department Raises
Age Limit from IS to
55---Recruiting Resumed

Recruiting for the United States
Army has been partially resumed in
the Minnesota Division, on order from
the Adjutant General Of the Army, &C
cording to Major John D. Yost, Re
cruiting Officer for the District. The
age limits have been raised and men
are now being accepted for certain
Staff Departments from 46 to 55 years
of age inclusive.
The Staff Departments now open
for enlistment Of men within the above
mentioned age limits are, Quarter
masters Corps, open for cooks and
bakers, checkers and laborers, Signal
Corps, open for Telegraph, radio and
cable operators, inside and outside
wiremen, electricians, imachinists,
photographers and men familiar with
the construction and maintenance of
telephone systems, Ordnance Corps,
open to artisans and skilled men of
all trades. The Metal Corps is also
open but men will only be accepted
who present authority for their en-
listment from the office of the Surg
con General Of the Army.
According to Major Yost, there are
hundreds of men in the state between
the ages of 46 and 55 years who here
tofore were barred from enlisting by
the previous existing maximum age
libit of 40 years. "This is their OPP
portunity," states the Major, "and !
expect to see great many men take
advantage Of it."
All other recruiting has been dis
continued since August 8 pending pas
sage of the new draft act by Congress.
Voluntary enlistments were stopped to
prevent the disruption of industries
throughout the nation, by the usual
rush of men to enlist following all
such announcements. The new draft
act will probably fix registration age
limits from Is to As years.
The recruiting machinery in the
Minnesota District is being kept intact
in anticipation of recruiting being
resumed at some future date, and II
the meantime the men of Major Yost'!
detachment are improving their time
selling thrift stamps and engaging il
other war activities, pending the re
ceipt Of orders from Washington.

THE WOMEN OF FRANCE.

Three hundred years ago, When
French soil was overrun with enemy
troops and the forces of witFess
prince were leaderless and without
heart, a peasant girl came up out OF
the fields of Lorraine and in her own
hand caught up the sword OF France.
The memory of that deliverance has
been handed down through the CEN
turies as one of the proud possessions
of the land, tale for old men to
repeat beside the hearths and for old
wives to tell again beside the cradle
sides at night. So when the black
August of 1914 brought with it new
invasion, it is not strange that, all
through the first nightmare weeks,
the air was full of strange prophecies
that the matchless maid would return,
to lead her soldiers, or that new
Joan of Arc would come out OF Lor-
raine with shining sword in hand.
She did not come. And yet a mir
acle no less full of wonder was
wrought by the wonanhood of invaded
France.
Mother and wives sent their men to
the front and turning, took up the
burden of the work laid down. There
were stalls and shops to be kept go
ing, subways and trolleys to be run
The women hitched themselves to the
plows, tended the stock, titled the
fields and brought in the harvests.
They fed the armies. Anxious, lonely,
saddened, they shouldered the work OF
the country, and the smiling fortitude
of them has been a thing to thrill the
heart.
In the days when the war is done
and from time to time little groups OF
A. E. F. veterans meet in reunions,
one toast will bring every man to his
feet with glass uplifted and cheer on
his. lips.
Gentlemen, / give you the women

recent bag of prisoners. He was in
dignant, to say the least, at the time
of his capture, and the mood intensi-
fed as he was marched back to the
intelligence officer.
He hadn't heard the questioning of
ficer speak more than five word of
German before he burst into the con-
versation.
"Do you allow privates to call Of
fcers by their first names in this
Army? he demanded witheringly.
"Why?" aswed the officer.
"Well, this pig" said the Boche,
"called me Heinie every time he adj
dressed me-"
If the open fighting that some of
the troops are undergoing keeps up we
will have to invent some new slang.
They still speak of going over the top,
but it isn't satisfactory because, as a
matter of fact, there sometimes isn't
any top for the reason that there
isn't any trench-or not much of a
trench, anyhow.
"Going out after 'em" has been used.
Anybody got any other suggestions /?

KILLED IN ACTION.

The name of Glen A. Smith, Of
Farragut, Ia, which appeared in the
casualty lists Monday evening, is one
that is remembered by a large number
here. Private Smith was killed in
action. Although an Iowa man he left
with the first contingent from Sank
Centre last September. Previous to
that time he was employed on the
Geo. B. Row farm here. He was a
man standing in high esteem with his
friends and his death is source of
sincere regret to them. ts

such cases and they put them into

| saw letter from fellow who was
in our camp and who has been IN
France since April 81. He sure likes
it but has not seen the front and does
not know if he ever will. He is in
an engineering regiment; does some
construction work and will probably
never see the front. That is the
beauty of being in the engineers. You
never get any fighting unless you hap
pen to be trapped somewhere. But
you always have bunch of infantry
with you or some artillery. Engineers
are not supposed to fight except in
emergencies. Their work is construc-
ton work.
Have you heard from Howard yet?
You can write him anytime now and
he will get it, as he will be in France
or England training for three months
before they do much.
Will write more when ! have time.
AS ever,

The people and stock all live under

"They are harvesting here now. The

thinks he is rich if he has two cows,
two or three goats, few chickens and
pigs. Their buildings are made of
stone. -Hg
"There is a river about a half mile
from our camp. We all went down
swimming the other day;-just like
going down to the old swimming hole

"The Stars an Stripes" is becoming
a regular visitor at the Herald and
so many good things are contained
therein that it is2a problem to decide
which ones to reprint, the clippings
below give glimpse of the human
side of life cover there"
In its first drive an American plat
DON, after advancing several kilomet-
ers, came into possession of build
ing which had been German regi-
mental headquarters. Personal effects
scattered about, half-cooked meal,
maps and documents on tables and in
racks told of the precipitate departure
of the commander and his staff.
In the room which had been the Of
fee of the commandment was a dead
dog. Attached to his collar was a
metal tube. In the tube was mes
sage calling for assistance from
German machine gun nest which, at
the time of reading, had long since,
fallen into American hands.
The dog, trained as a message
bearer, had been dispatched with the
call for help, had been struck by a
shell fragment, as was evidenced by
a wound in his side, and had struggled
on to the headquarters, only to find
it abandoned. He will be remembered
and respected by the American pla-
toon as one servant of the Kaiser who
nobly did his duty and died.
Nothing makes an American soldier
prouder of his organization than being
in action with it. Any man up front
will tell you that his platoon is the
best in the company, that his company
is the best in the regiment, and his
regiment is the best in the Army
that the artillery Of his division is
infallible and the officers are unbeat-
able. The colonel always comes in for
praise.
"Our colonel" said one doughboy
"may be stout and not much for height
but you ought to soldier under him
He's regular fellow. Why, he's the
kind of guy that if he was in the
ranks would make good private!
Which is about the highest tribute
a private can pay his colonel.

south of the Marine and trained his

Still in the Same Place, France,

Still in the Same Place, France,
July 10, 1918.
Dearest Dad-After two weeks of
silence on the part of the mail, today
there hit camp about a carload, and |
got ten letters. Maybe you think | am
not feeling fine. Getting those letters
is better than good meal, and to be
frank with you missed dinner to read
them-that is, | would have missed
them if it had not been for the fact that
the kitchen force are my good friends,
and when | came in late they immedi-
ately got me something to eat. They
were more than glad to do it, for | had
Just given them big bunch of letters.
The company is now ready for anything,
and tomorrow the censor will be pretty
busy. If the folks back home knew
how much the letters meant they would
write just twice as often, and if the fell
lows over here knew just what the let
tiers to the kin back home meant they
would double their order too. The let
tiers from home do more for the good
spirits of the men and renew their
energy to a greater extent than any
thing else, and | am always glad to see
lot OF mail, for it means that the men
will be in good spirits for some time to
come. And the better the men feel the
more they work, and the more they
work the sooner the war will be over,
The spirit of the bunch to a man is
wonderful, and while everyone Of us
wants to go home, yet not man in the
outfit would even consider it until the
war is fought to finish. Since we
are beginning to get so many men over
here, why We just naturally feel that it
is not going to be so very long until we
come sailing home. We are on our
fifth month in France now, and seems
but yesterday that We left the States.
l. guess the reason is because we have
so much to do that the time flies so
fast that we can't keep track of it.
Truly, "The days go by like shadow
DER the HEARTH" and at night when /
turn in | wonder where the day has
gone. But every day has its work to
do, and since | am still holding my job
and there are no immediate signs of
court-martial guess must be getting
away with the work. There are so
many odds and ends to be kept up that
fellow must sure have an active brain
to keep things from slipping up once in
while.
We are Just about ready to move into
our new mess hall, and it is a peach.
Ever since we have been here We have
had the mess hall at the side of one Of
the barracks, covered over with tar
paulins TO protect us from the weather,
but recently the engineers opened up
