ALL COATS OFF.

All praise Is due. to the crew Of
the United States transport Woonsock-
ca for taking hand in the unload
ing OF the vessels cargo and in repair
ing her hull at an American army port
in France, thus saving a weeks time.
The time OF American transports was
never more precious than it is now
So valuable is such service as that
performed by the men of the Woon-
socket that Major General Goethals,
Director of Storage and Traffic, felt
constrained to say this about them:
Their attitude in assisting in the un-
loading Of the vessel and doing every
thing possible to expedite its depar-
ture from port is commendable and
establishes an example which it is
hoped that all other crews in the
army transport service will follow"
In this emergency the United States
expects every man, whether in uni
form or not, to take OF his coat and
pitch'in whenever and wherever there
is work for him. Christian Science

permitted to publish. Mr. and Mrs
Corner homesteaded about two, and
one-half miles north OF Philip In the
very early days Of the settlement of
this section and his letter is reminis-
cent Of those days. The letter fol-
lows: IL
Friend Slocum: !: Seeing your name
in the Bad River news as candidate
for sheriff reminded me Of old times
and the many favors that were shown
the homesteaders Of that locality by
the old timers Of Stanley county.
When ''our colony" went In there, we
had been given the impression that
the range people were antagonistic to
the homesteaders. We found the OPP
posite to be the case. for NO one
could have been treated with greater
kindness or consideration--not even
Teddy Roosevelt.
When our guide landed the cara
van in that country, no one knew
where they were at. nor any OF the
natives. The first ranch they Stun
bled onto was the Searles place and
they kindly took us in for the night.
The next day you were called in to
help US get our bearings and locate
each entry. Later ON we made the
acquaintance Of the MOrrisons, Or.
Wyckoff's, the Robinson Bros, and
many other, families that time and
space would not permit Of mention.
Neither could / enumerate tithe
OF the kindness shown Us BY all Of
these families. can assure you,
however, and all OF those that are
left. that these things have never been
forgotten. and ! rsalise It may nevsr
be in my power to give them the rscog.
milton they deserve.

in that part Of the country. Some
times 1t was store" and some
times 1t was only an empty shack,

Of the great debt OF gratitude we owe
and I fear always will owe the Rob-

body in the county should give this

contribute and attend; those good
