Then came the miracle: the shell

O'CLOCK WEEK DAYS EXCEPT
SATURDAYS

A very successful meeting of the auto
dealers of Morrison county was held in
the Board of Commerce rooms, Tuesday
evening, nearly all of the auto dealers
of the county were present, the object
of which was to decide upon the closing
hours Of the garages.
Sundays and at O'Clock: in the eve
ming on week days except Saturday,
when they will remain open until 10
'clock. It had been mentioned to
remain open on Wednesday evening on
account of Wednesday being pay day
at tbe mill. As other concerns in the
city has discontinued this practice it
was decided by the garagemen to close
on Wednesday evening as well.
The garagemen are closing so as 60
help in the conservation of gasoline
and but especially to conserve on man
power. Many garages, especially in the
larger cities, keep two shifts, one for
days and the other for nj ights. By clos
ing every evening, this will do away
with the night shift and so release the
men for governmental positions. Many
auto mechanics are needed in the army.
An association Of dealers was formed
with George Schroeder as president and
Raymond Brick as secretary and treas
urer. The rules and regulations Of the
National Auto Association as set by the
government were adopted.
Auto dealers from Royalton, Pierz,
Swanville and Randall were represented

in FRANCE
RICHARD MEYERS Is STRUCK IN
LEG WITH A PIECE OF
A SHELL

In letter to his brother, Harry
Meyers, Richard Meyers, who is fight
ing with the Marines in France, stated
ed that he had been quite seriously
wounded by an exploding she'll.
He was on guard duty at the time Of
his injury and was struck by pieces
of shell that exploded not over six
feet from where he stood. The shell
struck a comrade Of Meyers who was
instantly killed. Meyers was dragged
into dugout where his wounds were
temporarily dressed. He stayed in the
dugout the rest of that night ana parr
of next day when re-enforcements came
to relieve the brigade with which Mey-
ers was fighting. He was taken by
ambulance to hospital close to Paris
for treatment.
A piece Of the shell struck him In
the left leg, tearing a cash down the
leg between the knee and ankle. The
bone of the leg was fracturd and he
also received a wound in the side. He
is receiving open air treatment on the
leg. This is new treatment, his leg
being exposed to the air and inc2osed in
a cradle which is covered with misquito
netting. He says that he is pretty
much Of a curiosity as he is one of the
first that this trea tment has been tried
on. q, -
Due to lack Of proper attendance at
the time Of injury, infection set IN
which caused him very much pain. The
doctor had to open the wound at the
hospital, which also made very much
worse wound of it. -
Speaking Of the battle that his bri-
gade was in, he said that they had
been holding the Germans without much
effort and had broken up all their at
tacks and even driven them back some.
The Americans attack by daylight,
then hold their ground at night. ",
At the time Of his being wounded he
had been fighting steady for seven days
without re-enforcements. Re-enforce-
ments we're supposed to have come three
days before, but on account of the ter.
rife parrage fire Of the Germans they
were unable to reach Meyers brigade.
His brigade has been doing fine work
in holding the Germans and has been
cited several times for bravery. s54#.
Graham, Grimes and Levin, three
other boys from this city, who are in
the marines, had just left the hospital
before he entered, Meyers said, and
that he had not heard anything Of
Howard Ferrel. The three \boys men.
toned above had been gassed. n
