NAVIGATION STILL BAD
ON ACCOUNT LOW WATER
IN LAKE okEEcHoBEE
palm Beach POST

Lake Okeechobee is going dry on
account of the water draining out
through six drainage canals, saiu
Capt Ben Mccoy yesterday, who was
in the city from his ruin on the Eight
Bells to Moore Haven. The steamer
is now making only one round trip
week.
"If the waters of the lake continue
to drop as they have it will not De
long before transportation either
along the shores or across the lake
will be impossible" said Capt Mccoy
an the West Palm Beach canal the
boats now literally pillow their way
for the last fifteen miles through
muck soup, and to enter the lake the
passage is through porridge for four
hundred feet"
It would be good idea, in Capt,
McCoy's opinion, for the SUCTION
dredge. which is working near Lox
hatchee to continue her way up to the
end of the canal.
On the Moore Haven side a small
launch is used to run into the city
from Cement House landings, the the
Eight Bells cannot 60 in. The dredge

"GRoUND FLYING"
MOST HAZARDOUS OF
AERIAL TACWlCS

Behind British Lines in France
Sept. 4.-"Ground flying" is perhaps
the most exciting Of all the aerial
tactics in which the British airmen
are instructing their American pupils
in Northern France. 1t demands a
high combination of skill and daring,
but it is a game in which the British
have during the past year won a
marked superiority over the Germans.
The training of ground flying pi-
lots is particularly thorough, and in
cludes much necessary practice in
leaping hills trees and telegraph
poles, etc.,-in manner which
promptly leads the uniformed spec
tator to condemn the airman as a
reckless fool.
But failing this practice the pilot
would never acquire the skill and
confidence necessary for this highly
specialized type of work. The ma
chimes used are fast and difficult
to fly, and operating SO close to the
ground, the pilot knows that he has
literally no more margin for indie
cision or hesitating than he has il
actual aerial combat.
In ground flying" tactics the pilo
acts mainly on his own persona
initiative, and he must be prepared
to attack the enemy whenever he ma!
be found, either with bombs, grenade
darts, or machine gun fire. Thu
German officers in charge of ammu
milton dumps have every reason t
fear the approach of British "loy
flyer. The fear of machine gun fir
is even greater, and whole Germa
regiments have been decimated an
demoralized by British airplanes.
German batteries, railway station!
billets, training grounds and aero
dromes are frequently attacked
this way and the moral effect
. very great. Won Richthofen, tn
famous German cir fighter, now deaf
once described how an English m;
, chine one night came down to
: height of $50 feet, through a fusi
: lade of gun fire and a binding glaI
j of searchlights, to bomb Germa
:. aerodrome with deadly effect Rio
a thofen considered 1t tremendous
: plucky that the man didn't swer,
but came straight on in accordant
g with his plans"

BRlDEGROOMs WEPT
UNTIL Y. w. C. A. FOUND
THEIR frances

In these days Of frequent war we'd
dings, it is not tho custom for the
soldier bridegroom to do the weep
ing! That is supposed to be the Pc
culiar privilege Of the bride, but the
order was reversed recently in the
Young Womens Christian Associa-
ton in Charleston, s. c., when not
only one soldier bridegroom-elect, but
two of them actually shed tears.
They came in great distress to the
~ w. c. A., weeping bitterly, having
lost their frances, who were sche-
dule to arrive that day from the
country for the great event. The SOL
diers, who were from Fort Moultrie,
Sullivan's Island, had been detained
for military duties, and on their ar
rival had missed the brides.to-be at
the railway station. Distracted, they
searched the town, inquiring at no.
tells, boarding houses, and ferry, and
soldiers though they were, they were
weary and footsore when they
reached the Y. w. C. A., pouring out
their tale of woe into the sympathe-
tic ears of the Y. w. War Work Sec.
retaries.
Encouraged by the sympathy, and
, systematic manner in which the
young women began their work OF
tracing their missing sweethearts the
spirits of the men soon revived, and
in a very short time the girls were 10
Gated and just where they should
have been. Though it was the first
visit of these young country girls tc
the city. they had not lost theil
heads, in spite of the fact that they
: had previously lost their hearts, anC
after failing to meet their soldier
sweethearts at the station, they haC
gone direct to tn Y. M. G. A. at For
Moultrie across the harbor, and were
safe and sound in the care of tn,
Secretary's wife, herself War Wort
Secretary.
So Cupid mixed the VS., the soldier
going to Y. w. c. A. for assistance
and their fair brides going To th
Post Y. NJ. c. A. The foIlowin,
day there was a meeting of the Y
in Charleston Church, where
double wedding was solemnized by
chaplain from the Navy Yard.
Had there been Hostess House a
Camp Moultrie, this comedy of error
and near tragedy, would have bee
averted, and this story never bee
told.

to drainage but to a deficiency Of ran

RED CROSS SALE

1T seems that there is some question
as to the holding of the joint sale for
the south six townships for the RED
Cross Sale to be held at Extra, Sat
urday, January 10Th. Now this is dis
tinctly understood that the articles
donated from each township or each
town with the portion of the country
allotted to that town, will be kept
separate, and when sold, the amount
received will be used for the benefit
OF that particular branch from which
the articles sold in the sale were do
mated.
The idea is that one big sale at
central point will bring better results
than several small sales. The benefit
from the result of the sales will be;
derived by the particular branch the
same as though the sales were held
in their own town The territory will
be divided up among Extra, Brayton
and kimballton.
We understand that there will be
lively contest among these towns and
their portion of the townships as to
which will set the pace and claim the
credit for the real success of the sale
and the big purse to their allotment.
This is especially true as between
Extra and Brayton, but we are sure
that they will have to go some if they
set the zee for Kimballton. Now let
us join in this matter and make it a
good alive, good natured contest.
You are invited and urged to be
present at the sale and see that the
articles in the sale from your territory
sell for all or more than they arc
worth, so that you will derive full
benefit. Also make the other fellows
pay all the other articles are worth.

INTERESTING LETTER
FROM CHRIS DAuGAARD


Mr.. Chris Dangaard writes a very
interesting letter to his sister, Miss
Marie Dangaard, of Brayton. The let
ter follows:
Lemon, S. D., December %, 1917.
Dear Sister Marie:
Well Sis, l just received your card
today and was glad to hear from you,
and | thank you for the Christmas
card. l hope you had merry Xmas
for it is rather late to wish you one
now, but / wish you Happy New
Year, and hoping that you will have
all pleasure and no sorrow.
So Fred has gone to fight for his
country. am glad of that. would
like to go myself, but they won't take
me yet, but will maybe next summer
You know we must not be selfish if we
can't help to make the world safe
to live in, we are no good If we all
sat back and let the Germans rule
this earth we would have one H /. of a
time. Just see what they are doing
and then think what they would do
if they had everything their own way.
A doctor from Aberdeen, South Da-
,, kota, was over in France serving as
surgeon with the French army. Just
got back from there. Tells about
visiting Sisters School in Belgium,
where there were 800 children and
they all had their hands cut off at
| the wrist by the German soldiers.
They had both hands off except one
girl She had one hand. Now what
do you think of that? There was a
young girl there too, he saw that was
, stripped naked and hung on door
frame by her hands spiked up with
! spikes drove through her hands. Now
if we can't go ourselves to help stop
such things as that, let's be glad that
we have brother that can.
All l am wishing is that was thai
brother myself and maybe will be
if ever I get chance.
1. Well sister that will be about al
for this time. How is the weather
down there? 1t is quite cold here
now. 1t has been showing a littl,
lately: Goodbye sister. With bes
wishes for Happy New Year, re
main with love.

FINE YOUNG MAN HOME
FOR THE HOLIDAYS

Harold Miller, who has been en-
ployed in a clothing store in Atlantic
for the past several years, was an
over Sunday visitor in Extra with his
parents, Hans Miller and wife and
family. He is the proud possessor
of Ford runabout which he pur-
chased since the disposal of his motor
cycle. which was envied by our Extra
boys when he visited them in this
city. Harold is certainly prospecting
and he has high aims and ambitions.
1t certainly speaks well for boy of
his age.

CUTTING
WALNUT TREES

The Fontanelle Observer is author
ity for the statement that several of
the farmers of Adair county are cut
ting their walnut trees in answer to
the governments call for timber for
gun-stocks. We know of no way our
owners of walnut can be more patri-
otto right now than by responding to
this call and getting these logs to the
market as soon as possible. 1t is
probable that the price will never be
so high again.
