my hpnds getting through our wire,
but. at the time. didn't notice II; my
journey was too urgent.
When the roll was called We found
that we had gotten II In the nose for

Our artillery put a bnrrugc on Fritz
front.lInc and communication trenches
and their mnchine-gun and rife fire
suddenly censcd.
Upon the cessation Of this fire.
stretcher bearers went out to look for
killed and wounded. Next day we
learned that q OF our men had been
killed and 81 wounded. Five men were
missing; lost In the darkness. they
must have wandered over Into the Ger
man lines. where they were either
killed or captured.
Speaking. Of stretcher bearers and
wounded. n is very hard for the aver

From an Official statement published
In one Of the London papers. II Is
stated that II costs between six and
seven thousand pounds (S30,000 to $35.-
0O0) to kill or wound a soldier. This
results was attained by taking the cost
OF the war to date and dividing II by
the killed and wounded.
II may sound heartlcss and inhumnn.
but Il Is Il fact. nevertheless, that from
military standpoint II II better for a
man to be killed than wounded.

The desired one hundred mil
lion dollars is going to be raised
for the Red Cross Fund. If
Smith county fails to contribute
her small quota os $500 this
week, the burden will obe but
unjustly shifted to the shoulders
of others. Makes no difference
who you are. you should do
something toward helping raise
this fund. If everybody will do
their part. the amount needed
will be forthcoming and no one
will be seriously hurt. Let all
Smith fountains work together
and raise the $500 and more.
Contribute some amount, at
least. to show that you are not a
STACKER. If you were fighting
in the trenches, bleeding and
dying, it would be a source of
comfort to know that your home
county people were sparing
nothing to administer to your
needs. Such acts of kindness
and mercy as are done by the
Red Cross Workers is what
makes life easier and brighter
for our wounded soldiers and
through these channels is the
only way we can contribute to
then comfort. Do your part OF

CONGRESSMAN HULL.

We call attention to the an
nouncement of Hon. Cordell Hull
as a candidate for the democratic
nomination for representative in
Congress, subject to the action
of the democratic primary cleo
ton to be- held on August 1, 1918.
Congressman Hull is so well
and so favorably known by our
people that it seems a waste of
words to undertake, in these
columns. a review of his record.
either public or private. He has
proven himself to be a most
faithful and capable public SER
want, and his record is so clean
that there is no doubt that the
people will delight to honor him
again. His services have been
so satisfactory that he enjoys at
this time the confidence of the
people to a marked degree; and,
though the time for candidates
to qualify viii soon expire, there
is not a whisper of opposition in
any section of the district, and
it is a foregone conclusion that
he will be nominated and elected
without a contest. The abnormal
times, due to the war, situation,
and Congressman Hull's famil-
iarity with war legislation, to-
gether with his answering and
unquestioned patriotism, argue
most forcefully in his favor: but
even in normal times, his official
