Some Nerve.

In their labored effort to secure votes
for Sam Higbee for commissioner the
executive committee of the Prowers
county democratic committee makes its
principal plea on the ground of the
splendid work done by the Prowers
county draft board. We don't know
just who the executive committee are
presume it's the secret committee
appointed from Washington to run
party sub rosa-but they sure won't
die from shortage of gall. They don't
explain just what Sam has done to
make a war record, but the board that
did the work is composed of Sheriff
|. c. Downing, County Clerk l.. NJ.
Markham and Coroner w. o. Shelter,
and the aforesaid executive committee
is doing all it can by hook or crook
to defeat the two first named mem
bers of the board. Twin Joe has a
right to kick because they did not give
him part of the credit as he did just
as much as Twin Sam-nothing a-tall.

Others Are Giving VaIu-
able Service.

Brooklyn, N. Y.-Sixteen women in
overalls are wrestling daily with 1872
pound bags of coffee and hundred.
weights of sugar, working side by side
with muscular men long used to this
hard job. They are the new lady steve
dOres hired by the New York Dock
company.
There would be 10 of these female
dock WALLPAPERS were it not for the
fact that three of the number en-
gagged were fred on account of their
cussing.
Among the present is are an au-
thor, former vaudeville star, several
widows, and two negro women. Their
hours are a. m. to p. m. five days
week. They are getting 321S cents
an hour, the rate paid to men.
H. B. Whfpple, general manager,

similarly engaged, though he really
had no notion the scheme would work
as well as it has.

own GUNS STAY FOE
Yankees Take Weapons and
Turn Them on Hun.
Run Out of Ammunition and Make
Night Raid on Trenches
for More.

With the American Army In France.
Turning "Heinie's'' own machine
guns back on him is the newest and
favorite stunt in a certain American
outfit.
The boys just stumbled onto this
sport, and they like it.
Recently in raids the boys brought
back some German machine guns, after
driving the Germans away from their
own strongholds.
"Why not use these German guns
on the Heinies?" one thinking dough-
boy asked his pals.
you're crazy; we haven't any ana
munitlon that'll fit them"
"Why can't we go over and get
some?" replied the thinker.
"Never thought of that" replied the
others; "we're on"
That night they raided the German
trenches and brought back plenty of
ammunition and mother German ma
chine gun. Next day the guns were
playing on the "Heinies."
They're darned good machine
guns" said one chap enthusiastically
"but the Heinies don't know how to
use them. We do, though. We're get
ting little low on ammunition. Guess
Wen have to run over to Germany to-
night and make 'em hand out some
more"

CAPTURES COUSIN in RAID
American Soldier Grabs Relative In
Attack on the Hun
Trenches.

Hackensack, N. "details of how
two cousins, one a corporal in the
American army and the other soldier
of the kaiser, met in France after q

The American is Corporal William
NUM-, Jr., Of Hackensack, a member
of the One Hundred and Sixty-fifth in
fantry, the old Fighting Sixty-ninth."
The German boy is Gustave Winkel-
mann of Bremen, a prisoner in an
American camp. Letters from Cor
pOral NUM- say he was in raid
against the German trenches recently
and came back with batch of pris-
oners. The captives were being
identified when Winkelmann mentioned
that he had relatives in the United
States. NUM- asked their names and
found that the boy was his cousin.

NEEDS WALNUT WOOD
Government Makes Appeal to
Owners Of Trees.
Best Material for the Manufacture Of
Gun Stocks and AirpIane
PropeIIers.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. walnut has
proven, under a four-year test in this
war, to be the best wood for the manu-
facture of airplane propelIers and gun
stocks.
Our government will need all of this
wood it can secure during the continu-
ance of the conflict. It cannot buy
either logs or trees, as part of the lum-
Der produced by the log is not suitable
for either of the above purposes. How
ever, it urgently petitions all owners
of trees or logs to sell them to one or
more of the sawmills which hold gov
eminent contracts for gun stocks or
propeller lumber. Fight with your trees.
Don't let them remain idle slackers.
Owing to their inability to purchase
sufficient logs the sawmills have not
yet been able to supply the present re-
quirements of the government and its
allies, and as our participation in the
actual hOstilities is increasing rapidly
our requirements in this wood are
monthly growing heavier. Every tree
counts. Half dozen will provide lum-
Der to build propeller blade and put
gun stock into the hand Of each man
in the platoon. The lack of one ma
chine in the air or one platoon in the
fight might turn the tide In q battle.
Picture your own son or the son of
your neighbor holding on and fighting
against desperate odds until the COM
pany or regiment your trees have
armed can come to his relief. Make
this relief possible. Turn your trees
loose. Wake up and get into the fight.
In this way you will be fighting for and
with him as truly as If you stood be-
side him in battle. And you have no
right to do anything else. Act quickly.
If you have walnut trees write today
to Capt. r. L. Oakley, production d.
vision, small arms section, ordnance
department, Sixth and b streets,
Washington, D. G. He will put you in
touch with several sawmills holding
government contracts, any one of
which will buy your trees and pay you
a fair price for them.

London.-The war has caused the
belligerent countries of Europe the

DIE OF HUNGER IN ALASKA

Of Food.

Seattle, Wash.-Nearly one hundred
natives of the Kuskokwim mining dis
trict of Western Alaska died this
spring from want of food, according
to officers of Seattle schooner which
arrived here recently after carrying
supplies to the North. Last winter

the natives were unable to hunt or

The seamen said they rescued twelve

The twelve had lived on moss until
the arrival of the schooner, which was
delayed by the late breaking up of
Behring ice.

ENEMY AGENT BLAMED

Salem, O.-Enemy agents are
blamed for an insect pest which
has reduced Butler townships
bumper wheat crop to much less
than normal. The ravages of I
the insect have been tremen-
dous. Last winter the farmers

German extraction was OBJ

to the. exclusion Of others, and
apparently digging in them with
his hands, as if burying some

estate. The story of how he got into
trouble with the authorities, through
the indiscretions of Vienna journal
list, has probably never been published.
AS the tale goes, certain reporter,
either in facetious or vindictive
moment, gave out that Mark Twain had
been seen suspiciously lettering about
the bridge which spans the Danube
canal near the Ring strasse, and not
far from the Hotel Metropole, at which
the Clemenses lived. Mark could not
let this reflection upon his character
go unchallenged. He fastened to ex-
plain-to apologize, in fact, for having
given the authorities the slightest
anxiety about him.
The explanation was thoroughly
Twainlike. He had found by the
bridge the longest German word he
had ever seen and in order to compre-
bend it in all it's longitude and lati-
tude, he had pinned one end OF 1t to
the bridge with the idea of unfolding
it! Bearing his precious burden with
him, he came to the opposite end Of the
bridge, only, alas, to find that he still
had yards to spare! The apology was
accepted with many a broad grin.
