APTAIN'S WIDOW GIVES OUT LETTER
 FROM HUSBAND
 AGAINST BURNETT
Mrs. Gardner Greene Makes Public Letter Urging De- feat of Seventh District
 Congressman

Pell City, November 2-(Special) ) One of the most unusual political doc uments ever made public in the state was that given out here tonight by Mrs. Gardner Greene, widow of the late Capt Gardner Greene of the 167ta infantry. The statement issued by Mrs. Greene Is ss follows:
 ITO the Democratic and Republican
 Voters of the Seventh Congressional
 District:
 My husband. Capt. Gardner Greene. who was lifelong democrat, and who was killed by the Germans in France while leading his brave men in tbe great battle of St NIihiel, wrote me a letter containing the following words concerning our congressman, John L. Burnett.
 T have decided that it Is my duty to lay the letter before you. so that you and all true Americans will know how our men in the trenches feel in regard to Burnett. The letter is as follows:
 would like to see some good. strong man run against Burnett. I wish l was back at the game. for I would dearly love to take a whack at him. He has not supported MT. Wilson in any of his war measures, and this is enough to beat him. Well, am out of politics now. and l hope I may be able to stay clear of the game, but 1t makes my blood boil sometimes when I see -four fflushers1 like Burnett appealing to the prejudices and passions of the voters instead of backing our President in his war policy, and stop this delay, which, if they don't do, will mean the life of many a sol dier in France. who has given his all to his country. None of us fear the sac rifice made for our country, but we do most humbly protest against the policies of some of our backwoods statesmen, and if we have to die, we do not want 1t to be caused by their narrow minded ness

Death of Mrs. c. NJ. Switzer

Mrs. C. M. Switzer, whose maiden
name was Lucena Emogene Corse, was
born in Watertown, jefferson County,
New York, February 9th, 1851. At six
years of age she moved to Spring Lake,
Waushara County, Wisconsin. June
10th, 1869 she was united in marriage
to Charley Switzer and they began
housekeeping on farm two miles
north of Clintonville, Wis, which was
the birthplace of four of their children.
After residing there seven years they
moved to Clintonville for brief resi-
dence then moved to Tigerton when
that was the end of the Northern road.
The family lived there fourteen years,
returning to Clintonville in November
1892 where they resided until moving
to Wabeno four years ago.
Mrs. Switzer has always been de-
voted wife and mother. No task was
too great and no sacrifice too severe to
cause her to hesitate to serve her loved
ones. She was member of the Metho-
dist church of Clintonville and ever
ready to serve it's best interests, hold
ing firmly to the great basic principles
of human life, and christian teachings.
She will always be remembered by
her family and friends as fine home
maker and true friend.
Those who remain to mourn her loss
are her husband C. M. Switzer, and
their three children Edith who will care
for her fathers home, W. E. Switzer,
superintendent of schools of Wabeno
and S. D. Switzer, superintendent of

Physicians Diagnose
Latest War Disease
as the "Airplaneneck''

Los Angeles, Cal, Oct. 5.-A new
disease" alarming to parents, be-
cause they thought It was the
mumps, but quite enjoyable to
childish victims, because it kept
them out OF school, has been dag
nosed here as "airplaneneck."
In various sections of southern
California, where there are several
government aviation and balloon
schools, the disease" made its ap-
pearance with children as the prin-
cipal suffers. Swelling of glands i'll
the neck caused parents to believe
their offsprings to have the mumps.
Physicians, however, soon diagnosed
it probably as the result of looking
up at the many airplanes and bal
looms which continually dot the
sky.
Since the way the disease was
caught was by looking at airplanes
and balloons, physicians, promtly
declared the way not to get it was
not to look at them or, if one were
unable to resist, to lie on ones back
while looking.
