Fine Jersey Calf
To be sold for benefit. Of the Red
Cross, on
Saturday, September %, 1918

Charles S. Billmyer, the dairyman
and Jersey stock breeder, near Shep-
herdstown, has given to the Red Cross
one of his finest Jersey calves, when
will be sold to the highest bidder In
front of the old college building on
Main street, Shepherdstown, Saturday
evening, September %, 1918, beginning
at 8 O'Clock. The following description
OF this calf has been furnished by Mr..
Billmyer:
Alice's Red Cross Queen End, Jer-
sew calf, born August 7. 1918. Large
solid colored, daughter OF Alicel. ms
calf should make splendid foundation
for a herd of large milking cows. Alice
is fifteen years old, the mother OF four
teencalyes, and eleven of them daugh-
tiers: and all of them that are OF milk
ing age have made splendid dairy cows.
Alice has never had an off year in her
10 years of work. She has given over
1850 gallons milk in year and over
500 pounds butter. For the past ten
years she has averaged over 1000 gal
ions milk and over 400 pounds butter
per year Alice also transmits her
dairy qualities to her descendants, /
have three-year old daughters making
$50 pounds butter per year. A grand
daughter has led the Testing Associa-
ton for two years in competition with
about 500 cows, and has made over
$50 pounds butter in year, two-year-
grand daughter 45S pounds butter in a
year in the Testing Association. These
are only a few OF the descendants OF
this grand COW. Could name dozen
or more of good ones. This is an op-
portunity for someone not only to get
a valuable calf, but at the same time
contribute something that may bring
relief and comfort to some of our neigh
bors who are fighting our battles in this
creotect of oil ware

A Letter From Camp Hancock.
Camp Hancock, Ga,

Sept. Is, 1918.
Dear Mr.. Snyder-This is Friday, the
18th, what a great many people say is
an unlucky day, but for my part con-
slider it my lucky day, for and my tent
mate passed good inspection this
morning and for the remainder Of the
day have nothing to do but rest and en-
Joy ourselves. 1t was four weeks yes
terday since the w. V. u. men arrived
at Camp Hancock. My first impress
sions Of the camp tended to disgust
rather than please me, but since that
time have begun to like it much better.
There are between 10000 and $4,000
men here in almost all branches Of
training. The greatest objection to
the camp is the sandy ground, which in
places is almost over the shoe tops. |
read letter in the Register some weeks
ago from Bill Cookus, and il remem-
Der right he spoke OF thermometers

a sort of friendly competition that down
here 100 in the shade during the day is
considered very cool.
| have been transferred to a perma-
nent company in regiment now FORM
ing for overseas, and should not be at
all surprised il the next few weeks will
find me on the way lover there" | am

They claim it is next to the highest
branch of the service, but from the work
we have to do am inclined to doubt it.
! have only gotten two copies Of the
Register since have been here. II
you will mail me the other two will ap-
preciate'it. Letters and newspapers are
two very good pastimes for men in the
service. 1t is my opinion that we will
all be home before long. Here's hoping
we are. Best regards to all my friends.

This would indicate that we will re-
ceiye part Of our hard coal supply for
the county. or course this will not be
enough for everybody who has been &C
customed to use hard coal TO have their

who can get along with soft coal viii
De expected to do so, so that those who
nave stoves that are only suited to hare
coal can be supplied with hard coal.
Yours truly,

Senator Hardwick is not the proper man
10 represent them in the United States

THE first offensive Of our gallant
american army against the Germans
was brilliant success, and the past
week has shown the Huns the spirit OF
the men from the United States. AS a
part OF General Foch's strategy, General
Pershing's army was selected to attack
what was known as the st. Mihiel
salient, which had been thorn in the
side OF the Allies for the past four
wears. Our men went into the battle
with a courage and resourcefulness that
simply swept the Germans out OF the
country. In just 81 hours the Americans
and their supporting French divisions
had completed a great victory. Thou
sands OF Germans were wounded and
killed, $4,000 were taken prisoners, 100
guns and many machine guns and vast
quantities OF ammunition and equip
ment were captured, and $50 square
miles OF territory regained. Four Ger
man divisions were put out Of action.
The Allies are getting within gunshot
CT the German frontier at certain places.
They are within few miles Of the great
fortress fMetz, and are near enough
now to harass and damage the towns
and army bases on German territory.
They have great obstacles to overcome
on their present front, for every point
is now of vital importance to the Huns,
but our armies are becoming irresistible
and it is believed that nothing can now
withstand them. All the allied world
is rejoicing that We will soon be in a
position to carry the war into German
territory and give the Huns dose OF
their own medicine.
