BEES Ci.EZY DRUNK

Ice department. That suit or reCov-
Try in some manner will be brought
seems to be certain, as attorr eys have
been engaged.
The bootlegging condition in this
section of the state is blamed for the
situation. In raids On a number of il
legal establishments here ten days
sgo, the police confiscated large
quantity of liquor. This was emptied
into a sewer at the rear Of the city
building.
The outlet of the sewer is within
two blocks of the home of William
Welsh, owner of large number oil
bees. The bees, according to Welsh.
for months have been depending On
this sewer outlet for their water sup
ply.
On the day the whiskey was emp
tied into the sewer, the bees made
their customary trip to the watering
place. On their return to the hives in
Welsh's yard, an uprising such as had
never before occurred among the hon
ev makers took place. Several promi-
nent citizens were severely stung by
the insects. A patrolman was stung 80
severely that he was obliged 20 r,man
at his home for a week.
Welsh, in statement to the police
says:
my honey makers have been accus-
toned to the water at the sewer outlet

Breast Tea at Any pharmacy. Take a
tablespoonful of the tea, put a cup of
boiling water upon it, pour through a
sieve and drink teacup full at any
time during the day or before retiring.
Il is the most effective way to break a

also puts the enemy out of commits
sion, so that when our infantry goes
over the top, they hardly find Ger
man in the first trench or two. We,
the truck drivers, are shelled only
along the roads.
The night we had to wait for the
town to be vacated we had to stay in
a dugout just vacated by German
staff. We found there fine blanket,
a feather pillow, four-foot mirror,
and a lot of leather-seated chairs.
Those fellows sure lived in style, but
guess they will not again for a
while, for they were all captured in
their den.
The home newspapers you send
are fine. Often | spend the spare
time on the truck reading them. And
then the others read them, too. The
only thing | have against the papers
is that they gave me the credit for
getting the cross for bravery when
it was given to another by the same
name. I was not in the infantry or
in France at the time of the deed for
which the cross was given. I have
since been put into the same divi-
sion with the Ralph S. Sanderson who
received the cross and saw him deco
rated with the cross abou t three
weeks ago.
You certainly are doing your bit

little time to make use of it and be-
lieve me sleep is my middle name.
From what you say in your letter
you don't seem to be getting all of
our mail for we try to write at least
once week. But even if you don't
hear from us as often as you think
you should, there is no reason for
worry for we are getting along fine
and all in the best of health. The
condition of things we have got to
over look-the receiving of mail to a
certain extent. We do not receive all
of your letters but the way we look
at it is that it can not last forever.
SO Harry had the humps, did he?
Well l sure would have given whole

aldine is next, tell her to watch her
steps as this is almost fruit season.

over here at the present time for the

there is all kinds of fruit over he~a

Ralph |. Sanderson Writes From
France

Ralph L. SandersOn, son of Ernest
Sanderson, in a letter to his grand
mother, Mrs. J. H. Doppler, and in
another to his cousin, Mrs. A. J. Gem
mill, both written on July 26, writes
in part as follows:
We have been moving almost con-
tinually lately, and are now taking
our part in the present drive, and
that certainly means work as we new
er did before. We are having lots of
experience, as now we, are working
over ground which was occupied by
the Germans only a few hours before.
A few days ago we were ordered to
take rations to a town still occupied
by the Germans, so sure they were
that the town would be taken. Just
before getting there we were stopped
by our infantry skirmishers to wait
over night for the town to be taken,
and sure enough in the morning they
had the town, and had the Germans
on the run two miles beyond. 1t
looks now as though they would not
stop until they get to Berlin.

Americans Punish Enemy Severely

Among the former residents OF Bar
aboo were Mr.. and Mrs. H, w. Battln,
now at Billings, Mont. Mr.. Battin
was engineer when the second track
of the Chicago e Northwestern was
built and was later superintendent
at Fond du Lac. Their son is now In
France and in letters home he tells
of his experiences abroad. He is TAX
ing advanced training in an artillery
school at Samur, France, and excerpts
from his letter, dated June Is, follow:
81 have not seen paper today and
am wondering about the submarine &C
tiyity on the Atlantic coast. Over
here, the allies did some damage last
week; in fact even in the heavy drive
although outnumbered, they inflicted
more punishment than they received
from the Huns. The work here pro-
crosses rapidly and you can not i'm
agine how much a fellow learns in
one week. We are out in the open
great deal, going into the country
for field work, topography, firing and
other things. Of all the work the
actual firing is that which appeals
most to us. Of course we are only
getting the basic principles Of firing
now as everything is different from
our material in the states.
"Most of my evenings are spent in
the room studying and discussing the

as to whether or not we are allowed
to send some views of this town but

shall send some views"

Regular Class Rooms at Great
Lakes

Recent letters from Harlan Page,
who is at Great Lakes, contain the
following:
In the new aviation unit where we
now are we have regular working
hours, $50 to 1880 and 1890 to
4:30, and everyone in our company is
helping to build the new camp which
is under construction. We will prob
ably be kept at this work for about
two months, as it will be that length
of time before we can get to school.
l have seen the schools, and the class
rooms remind one very much Of a reg
ular schoolhouse, with the desks,
blackboards, etc. Then there are the
machine shops with the various kinds
of machinery in them. There are also
five hundred gunners here who take
a short course in the gunners' school,
also 800 marines. Of course you know
we have only the aviation men in our
company. There are 5000 alone in
the aviation camp, 1900 quartermas-
tiers, who take a six weeks course in
aviation, and 5000 landsmen machin-
list mates, who take a 12weeks course.
We have been issued hammocks and
mattresses-7,O 900 of them came in the
other night. We get twelve hours lib
erty either Saturday or Sunday of
each week, and probably a longer
leave when we get to school. The
eats are good over here; not so much
of a variety, but taste better. We
are at liberty to roam around the avi-
alton camp when we are not work
ing, and on visitors day the mothers
and girls come and the boys can walk
around the camp with them. Last Wis

Gave Life for Pals

A story of the heroism and supreme
sacrifice of a Marshfield boy comes
from the trenches in France-the
story of the death of Sergeant Viii
lard Purdy, who was killed by the
accidental explosion of hand gre
made on July 4.
Details of the accident were re-
ceived at Marshfeld in letter from
Sergeant Vernon Kelley, who is with
the 1O7th supply train, many Baraboo
bows being in the same command.
Sergeant Kelley talked with mem
bers of Purdy's company and got
the story from them first hand. The
MarshfieId Herold says:
During the night Of July 3, Serg-
cant Purdy, in charge Of party OF
raiders, crossed mo mans land and
bombed the German trenches. They
were successful in their raid, and all
returned to their dugOut at the break
of dawn. Upon their arrival there
they began divesting themselves of
the unused hand grenades they car
ried, Joking in the meantime about
their nights experience. AS Purdy
pulled out one of the grenades from
his blouse it slipped from his fingers
and fell to the floor of the dug-out
Either from contact with his shirt or
from the impact Of the fall the pin
that holds the igniter ~was loosened
and the device that eXplodes the
seconds after the igniter is loosened
grenade set going. In just five
on a grenade it explodes, throwing
it's death dealing missiles in every di-
rectiOn.
The explosion meant the death OF
the entire party in the dug-out. Just
one thing would avert that and that
was the sacrifice of one life to
smother the explosion. And Purdy
gave his life to save his pals. With a
cry of Look out, boys" he threw
himself upon the grenade covering
it with his body. A second later the
explosion came. Purdy's body was
torn to shreds, but he saved the lives
Of his comrades.
It was the supreme Sacrifice-the
one thing that one in thousand
would do, and Purdy was that one.

From Philip
France.

This is the national holiday of
France, so there is lots of people in

the Y. M. c.. A. this morning. Of

that soon, and then | made out a TWEEN

six forty of that goes for insurance,

we need here, just enough to buy to-

Well, we expect Veo back every day
