The extended assortments of
linens shown in Vandever's En-

two things, namely-the reli-

specially priced.
The following are good linens,
at very low prices, and should

While Howard Haines, farmer
near here, was watching the market
quotations on pork, with an eye to
family of young pigs that arrived
at his farm last month, his antici-
pated riches literally took unto them

The farmers heard a great commo-

investigate. He was just in time to
see huge bald-head eagle swoop
down and attempt to seize pig in his
talons. When Haines rounded up the
scattered baby pigs and counted
shouts he discovered the eagle had al.

There are at present more than TO-

Just announced by the National War
Work Council. Approximately 500
French classes are in session at stated
periods each week in the six big can

Camp Grant recently had the lar
gest enrolment, with 5000 officers
and men in 81 classes. Camp Custer
and Camp Sherman each have had en-

Camp Custer had so classes in opera

Both Camp Dodge and Camp Taylor

work in French, with enroilments in
excess of 1000 each ana more than
100 classes. For many of the French
classes, it is stated, teachers have
been found among the soldiers in the
ranks. The Camp Custer classes in
the past winter have had so such
teachers. At Camp Grant, of total
of So volunteer teachers, only four
were civilians. The work at Camp
Funston is going steadily forward af-
ter a period of quarantine and hun
dreds of officers and men are enrolled
in the classes. Teaching talent from
Kansas City, Omaha and other cities
has been secured for the Funston
work.
At Camp Custer the Y. NJ. C. A. has
