Matrimonial

Cupid, skillful and bewitching little
archer that he is, is taking prominent
part in the drama of war, sending his
arrows, harmless but unerring, straight
to the susceptible hearts of many SOL
dier boys. The latest from this section
to be thus attacked is Serg't d. Leslie
Runnells, son of Mr.. and Mrs. F. A..
Runnells, who, on June 18th, was unit
ed in marriage to Miss Mary Lowell,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Lowell, of this place. The wedding
took place at Jacksonville, Fla, and was
private. Both young people are among
the most estimable of this vicinity
and host of friends will wish for
them the fullest measure of happi-
ness and prosperity in their married
life. Since the wedding, occurred, we
are informed, the groom has been order
ed to embark for France and is now
probably on his way to the theatre of
war. That the great conflict may soon
terminate, with honor to his country,
and that he may return to his home and
bride in safety will be the sincere wish
of his many friends.

State Fair

During the 10 days of the Michigan
State Fair the most spectacular display
of patriotic, historical, allegorical and
educational fireworks that has ever
been shown in Michigan will be staged.
This demonstration being arranged by
by the Thearle- Duffield Fireworks Dis
play Company, of Chicago, producers of
the most gorgeous pyrotecnics in the
world, will Immediately arouse to the
highest pitch of patriotic enthusiasm by
causing that bud of patriotism, thriving
in every breast, to break into flower.
The effort, time and money which has
been spent lavishly in arranging and
financing the spectacle is another step
towards the primary aspiration of G.
w. Dickinson, Secretary Manager of
the Fair Association, to make the COM
ing exposition gigantic and forceful
war agent. At the grand opening of
the Fair, on Friday evening. Aug. 80,
the most stupendous patriotic pageant
ever attempted in Detroit will be pro-
duced. Thousands Of soldiers, sailors,
Boy Souts, Red Cross Nurses, members
of fraternal societies and Mounted Po-
lice will be in the marching line.

Smilage Book Campaign

Ray English has met with quite graf
flying success in disposing of the smil-
age books which may be sent to the
soldier boys at the various army canton
ments and used for admission to liberty
theatres which are there located. The
theatrical interests of the country have
established these places of amusement
from patriotic motives, the best talent
in the world may be seen in them, the
prices are very nominal, and the plan
has the endorsement Of President Will
son himself. Probably no favor would
be more appreciated by soldier boy
than one of these books and the pur-
chaser may send it to whoever he
chooses. This is little different from
the tobacco fund gifts which could not
be sent to individual friends, and people
who could not conscientiously support
that enterprise will find in the smilage
books way of gratifying their patriot
ic generosity. In the week beginning
July s. Ray and those who will assist
him will make an effort to cover this
vicinity thoroughly and will undoubted-
ly dispose of large number of books.

An Appeal to Women

Women of Vienna. listen and you can
hear cry of distress and call for
help from many lone woman who, in
her kitchen, surrounded by sacks of
substitutes. is trying to make palatable
bread, cake etc., without any wheat
(Hoover says no more wheat until
harvest) and is about to give up defeat
ed. The bread is so heavy and sticky
that one can hardly eat it.
Won't you who have succeeded in
making edible bread. etc., rush to her
aid with your recipe that she may turn
defeat into victory. l am proud of
Vienna; she has responded to every
call. given more than her share, so that
we can look at our Honor Flag with
pride and satisfaction. But to my
mind the call to use less and less and
now no wheat at all is the hardest call
of all. Why? 1st, because it is so small
individually that it hardly seems worth
while and won't make much differ
ence anyway; End. because we wom-
en- do not know how to bake without
wheat. But we CAN learn. We wom-
en- will fight our battle in the kitchen
until every flag of distress is pulled
down and victory flag is in every
home. Come on, women. and help
your neighbor with your recipe, that
the wall of bread that is backing our
Allies may not be weakened by so much
as one loaf of wheat bread in Vienna
until harvest.
Mrs. Harry d. Gage,
Chairman. Food Conservation,
Vienna Township.
Send your recipes to me and | will
see that they are printed.

Carrier pigeon Caught

One day last week a carrier pigeon,
evidently tired and bewildered from a
long flight, landed in the yard of w. r.
Hopkins and was caught. The bird
bore on one of its limbs brass tag
with the inscription "3S69--E. B. IL. -
After the bird had been kept several
days and had gotten thoroughly rested
it was released and lost no time in re-
suming its flight, probably soon reach
ing its destination. These birds, under
favorable conditions, make speed of
sixty or more miles per hour, and are
,now being bred in large numbers for
use in the army.

The Kaiser's Talk With He'll

The Kaiser called the Devil up
On the telephone one day.
The girl at central listened
To all they had to say.
Hello" she heard the Kaiser say;
is old man Satan home?
Just tell him it is Kaiser Bill
That wants him on the phone"
The Devil said Hello to Bill
And Bill said How are you?
I'm running He'll here on earth
So tell me what to do
What can do?" the Devil said.
My dear old Kaiser Bill.
If there's thing that can do
To help you. sure will'.
The Kaiser said Now listen
And will try TO tell
The way that am running
On earth Modern Hell.
I've saved for this many years,
And I've started out to kill
That it will be modern job
You leave to Kaiser Bill.
My army went through Belgium
Shooting women and children down.
We tore up all her country
And blowed up all her towns.
My Zepps dropped bombs on cities
Killing both old and young:
And them the Zipplines didn't get
Were taken out and hung.
Il started out for Paris
With the aid of poisonous gas:
The Belgiums. darn them. stopped us
And wouldn't let us pass.
My submarines are devils.
Why you should see them fight.
They go sneakink through the sea
And will sink a ship on sight.
Il was running things to suit me
Till year ago or so.
When a man named Woodrow Wilson
Wrote me to go more slow.
He says to me Dear William,
We don't want to make you sore.
So be sure to tell your U-Boats
Not to sink our ships no more.
We have told you for the last time
So. dear Bill. it's up to you:
And If you do not stop it
You will have to fight us too.
L did not listen to him
And he's coming after me
With million Yankee soldiers
From their home across the sea.
Now that's why called you. Satan
For want advice from you:
know that you will tell me
Just what ought to do"
My dear old Kaiser William,
There's not much for me to tell
For the Yanks will make IL hotter
Than can for you in He'll.
I've been a mean old Devil.
But not half as mean as you.
And the minute that you get here
Twill give my job to you.
TN be ready for your coming
And I'll keep the fires all bright:
And I'll have the room all ready
When the Yanks begin to fight
For the Khaki Boys will get you;
have nothing more to tell.
Hang up the phone and get your hat
And meet me here In HE'LL

than against the artillery batteries.
The figures collated by the German
general demonstrate the falsitw of
thls argument and show the French
determination to prevent the German
guns, as far as possible, from being
used against the French infantry and
lines of communication and supply,
and that they do this successfully.
General Ludendorff In concluding
his memorandum points out that by
counterbattery work not only is the
enemy's artillery destroyed or put out
OF action, but the opponent is forced
to considerable extent to turn his
attention away from the doings of the
enemy's infantry which is thus able
to manoeuvre with greater ease.

French Front, Jan. 22.-General
Ludendorff regarded by the Entente
Allies as the master-mind Of the Ger
man army, pays an unintentional COM
pliment to the accuracy of French ar
tillerymen in a memorandum issued
to the troops on October 4, which has
Just been made available to the cor
respondent of The Associated Press
In this document he admits that
the French gunners by their counter
battery fire destroyed in one German
army alone in the course of a month
eighty-three German feld-guns and
seventy-two heavy cannon while they
seriously damaged and put out of &C.
ton also 282 feld-guns and 213 heavy
cannon as we'll as ninety-one field
guns and ffty-nine heavy cannon
slightly injured but capable of being
repaired and used again in a short
time.
To these imposing figures of artil-
lery losses caused by the French gun
ners the same German army in the
same period of time had the mortiflca-
ton of adding an almost equally large
number of losses brought about by
the wearing out or bursting of guns.
In this way seventy-three field-guns
and twenty-one heavy cannon were
destroyed; 1874 field-guns and 129
heavy guns seriously damaged and
III feld-guns and ninety-one heavy
guns slightly disabled
The memorandum was issued to the
