stay here until it ended. He owns
some land over here I guess. He
said he wouldn't stay here a minute
after the war ended. l don't blame

NO FURLOUGHS
FOR FARM BOYS
General Crowder Unable to Grant
Request Of Governor Philipp---
Crops Ready to Gather

That the farm boys who have been
called into service, by the calls just
issued, cannot be given a furlOugh un-
til August 10, without seriously inter
fering with the military program, was
the answer which Provost Marshal
General Crowder made in reply to a
telegram by Governor Philip asking
that the boys be allowed to remain
until August to complete the farm
work of the state.
"The recent call has cut the sup
ply of help to the bone," said the
governor. "This state has an ex-
traordinarily heavy crop which is
now ripening and which will be ready
for harvesting in few days. We find
that the labor is very scarce in the
agricultural sections and something
must be done to save that crop from
ruin because of insufficient help to
harvest it."
The governor said that the fur
ther deferment of the men from July
"a to August 10 would be Of great SER
vice in saving a considerable part of
the crop.
In spite of this fact the provost
marshal general said that he had
been obliged to make the same re-
ply to all states that the July call
cannot be delayed. He said that Ill
inois has organized 1000 school boys
and has sent them to the harvest
fields and he urges that movements
of this kind be conducted in the other
states.

Dear Folks:


France, 1918.
Dear Folks:
I received your letter some time ago
but owing to the fact that have been
in the hospital for some time | have
been unable to answer it. | received
nice letter from Vaughn and Phil,
who are up at the front.
Vaughn is now a corporal and at
gas school. Phil is first-class private
and told me of how he took part in a
- id on "No Mans Land" There
were about forty of them, twenty
that were to make the raid on GER
tain sector of German trenches and
bring back prisoners for information.
They had nearly carried out tneir
plans when daylight broke ard they
had to return to their oN- trenches.
PhiPs letter sounded as though he
very disappointed and I do-1t 1-lCW
as I can blame N muC1.
Our company put their first hitch
in the front line trenches without the
loss of a man and are now back in a
rest camp. Yesterday l watched a
large convoy of wounded come in.
They all seemed happy and not to
the nature of most of the Americans
and the Huns have begun to see that
they have far larger cause for worry
than they at first expecte1. It is very
interesting to watch tho Len come
in many of them have enemy bayo-
nets and helmets which they seem to
be more eager to hang onto than to
life itself.
I shall leave the hospital tomorrow
and return to my company and you
can believe me I am very tickled over
it. We are treated fine here and have
all we want to eat, nevertheless, one
never feels right until he is back
among his old pals.
[ have heard of both Grandma and
Grandpa's death and can not ex-
press my feelings. They were grand
old people and even though 1 am sep
arated from my old home by many
thousand miles, yet I seem to miss
them, as though l were with them at
the time of their death. They have
both been a second father and mother
to me and can not seem to forget it.
Although my heart is heavy, I can
do naught to return them so shall try
to forget and at the same time hope
that during the remainder of my stay
in France I shall receive no more
such news. | am now where I see
life snuffed out each and every min
utes and at times vast numbers slain,
yet it seems to be a part of our days
work and no one seems to think the
more of it unless a dear friend is TAX
en-. War is not a pleasant job AMI I
shall be mighty glad when all is over
and | can again live like in the days
gone by.
l think often of you dear ones
back home and realize that you are
doing all you can to help in this strug-
gle, and we all appreciate it.
suppose Baraboo is the same old
place and I ofttimes long to be back
and enjoy it's pleasures
Well, dear ones, this will be all for
this time. l received a nice long let
ter from Mrs. Frank S. Wing, former
ly Mrs. Pointer, and have answered
it. Write when you can, for I surely
enjoy your letters.
Yours as of old,
GLIB.

Honorlna Bishop Brewer.

A touching incident with reference
to the death Of the late Bishop Brewer
recently came to light through an
American missionary located in a re-
mote mountain district Of Montana.
When the belated news Of the death Of
Bishop Brewer came to a certain wom-
an in this isolated settlement, she hoist
ed an American flag at half-mast over q
little. schoolhouse some distance away,
In token of his death. The woman did
not belong to. the church, but she had
known and respected the bishop for
many years, and 1t had been her Gus
tom through all the years to travel
many miles to the nearest mission
point to attend the services when the
bishop made his %visltations each year.
Without respect to custom she kept
this flag there for v e a month, and
not until the visit Of the missionary
was the significance explained and the
story related.

Rueslan Iron Orc.

Iron ore Is found In many parts Of
Russia, although it is mined in but
few localities. In the Ural range there
are whole mountains Of rich ore, cor
tanning from so to 70 per cent Of iron.
Among these ore mountains are Blag-
odat, Magnitnaya and Vysokaya. De-
spite It's apparent accessibility, iron
ore in this vicinity is not mined very
extensively. The Ural deposits Yield
ed, In 1913, 1,s32,OOO tons Of iron ore,
out Of the total 1892, 300 for the whole
Of Russia.
Besides these, silver, copper, lead.
zinc pres are extant in various parts
Of Russia, and these deposits are prob
ably sufficient to supply her needs;
however, the development Of the min
ing industry Is insufficient as yet to
make the yield meet the demand. She
is compelled to import large quantities
Of the ores needed In her metallurgy,
while her own wealth Is lying dormant.
