fought the Germans in many places
and have had many hard battles with
them. Our division is also the one
that had the hard task Of Kidding Bel
leau Wood of the Germans, and held
an important part of the sector near
scissors, on the morning of July 18th,
when the offensive went from the Ger
mans to the Allied Armies and remain
ed there until the Armistice was sign
ed.
We are now in the army of occu-
patton and are stationed about 20 kilo-
meters from Coblenz. We are at VOL
lendorf Germany on the east side of
the Rhine, in the best wine country
in the world perhaps.
Being in the Light Artillery, I have
had many artillery duels with the
Germans and likewise many close
calls. Our Regiment was well equip
ped, possessing those famous French
75's field pieces, the best light artil-
lery there is. The French Is is cap
able of firing between 20 and 80 shots
per minute, which also goes to make
it the most rapid of field pieces.
Well, I will have to bring my letter
to close.

O. T. O. Lee, and she was born at At

to this county as a little girl with
her parents. She was married to Mr..
Olson seventeen years ago, and all OF
their happy married life has been
spent on the Olson farm in Framnas.
To them were born six children, who
with the other Borrowing relatives
have the sympathy of all. They are
Nora, Elmer, Stella, Bernard, Janette
and Howard. Other surviving rela
tives are her father, o. T. o. Lee;
her brothers, Alfred Lee of Danvers
and Peter Lee Of Cyrus; and her sis
/ tiers, Mrs. Anton Ettesvold, Mrs
Hans Olson of Framnas, and Miss
Clara Lee, who is Red Cross nurse
in France.

LETTERS FROM BOYS S.
IN SERVICE OVERSEAS

Lieut.. Eugene Lunstead writes In.
teresting letter to mother.
Rennes, lille ct Vilaine, j j
February ~, 1919. go
Dear Mother:
1t just occurred to me that haven't
written letter for about a month,
maybe two, and am going to steal a
few minutes to just let you know I
am well and quite happy, that is as
happy as can be under the circum-
stances.
Was In the hospital at another
camp for about five or six days with
the "fu," but am back to work and
am as good as new again. It sure had
me for the first couple days. After
l left two of our men were sent out
and one of them was in for nine days
and the other one hasn't come back
yet. He has been gone for over two
weeks now. Am going up to the hos
pital tomorrow and look him up and
see what the trouble is. We haven't
very many cases of the "fu" over
here, but believe me it sure must be
fierce over in the States from what we
hear. Really, I don't know why we
haven't so much of it over here. 1t
must be the Army life.
Last month got two copies of the
Willmar Tribune, and believe me
sure read every line of them. Really,
l haven't enjoyed anything so much
for long time as L did those two
papers, F..
About a month or so ago I met a fel
low who lives in Duluth who was on
his way home. gave him my address
and told him to look you up. He was a
very nice boy and promised me he
would go down to Willmar as soon
as he got home. 1t may be he is still
over here, but if he has sailed nc
doubt he will be in Willmar very soo1
to see you. He knows a few othel
people in Willmar already.
Guess I'll be home maybe by mex
July. really don't mind staying ove1
here, and don't expect to get home
for at least six months.
Well it's about supper time so will
bid you very fond adieu. Hope Il
hear from you all very soon.
| Much love from your son,
| Eugene.

Dear cousin Anna:
l received your letter and will do
something quite unusual in answering

Liverpool by way of Halifax on the
25th of December. We crossed the
English Channel on the night of the

on the morning of the 9th. We left
the next day and arrived at Valdahon,
France on the afternoon of the Both

Our training station, Valdahon is
II miles east of Besancon, the birth
place of Victor Hugo. It is near the
border Of Switzerland. At this camp
we received our intensive training, and
left there the 9th of March, two days
before the Germans opened their huge
offensive against the British in Pic

Verdun. We stayed on the Verdun
Front between forty and fifty days,
and then went west of Paris for a rest.
From then on, until the Armistice was

Piko-perch

Besides the above, Renville county
people secured and planted 100000
Pike-perch fry in Kandiyohi Lake, and
Stearns county people 100000 pike
perch in Andrew Lake. This brings
the total fish fry planted In Kandiyohi
county lakes in 1918, 6,776,000. But
at that we did not get as much as
some counties where the folks are
more alive to their opportunities along
this line. Douglas county where
conditions are somewhat similar to
those in Kandiyohi county, received
no less than 17,494, 000 Pope county
planted 30,576,000 in her lakes, over
100000 of which went into Lake
Minnewaska. There is some advant-
age in having fish hatchery at home.
Sibley State Park on Lake Andrew If
established, will give good site for
a fish hatchery in this county.

Boys Game.

ooyS tame.
With the 1920 lineup in the game
last Saturday night, the Granite Falls
boys team was beaten by score Of
% to 6.
Olson for Granite made a basket in
the first minute of play. 1t was nearly
10 minutes before Severinson made
one which tied the score. Cole made
a "horsey" over from the center but
was followed by still "horseyer" by
Carlson. Hogaa then slipped in two
from beneath the basket. Odell soon
followed with basket which ended
the first half, the score being 10 to 4.
Macdonald started the second half
with two pretty baskets. Odell made
long one from the center and Sever
inson ended the game with couple
of field goals. The score was then
% to 6.
The feature Of the game was the
machine like team Of the winners. No
credit can be given to any single indi-
vidual because all played an equally
good game.

quist added free throw which ended
the half 5 to in favor of Willmar
In the second half Christensen Of
Granite made three baskets and Beese
and Lundquist connected with three
field goals apiece. The game ended

Resolutions

At meeting of the Directors OF
The Eastern Shore Trust Company
on Friday evening, January II. 1919,
the following was adopted as express
sive of their appreciation and respect
for Daniel H. LeCompte, who on that
date departed this life, after having
served said Company as director for
nearly twenty years:
In the inscrutable wisdom of an
All-Wise Providence, Daniel H. Le-
Compile, a director of this Company,
has been called hence. Though he
did not attain to the allotted three
score and ten years, yet his life was
full of good works. AS an official of
the Eastern Shore Trust Company he
was valued and esteemed by his fell
low directors as possessed of clear
business judgment. sterling integrity
and answering fidelity to its best
interests.
= AS a Christian, he was steadfast
and earnest, and liberal in his sup
port of the church and the cause of
religion.
AS citizen he was public spirit
ed. progressive and patriotic.
AS man he was the idol of his
home, a devoted husband, a loving
father, kind neighbor and staunch
friend His life was an open book,
to be read and admired by all. JUS
tice and right found in him a daunt-
less champion, and to evil and
wrongdoing he was an implacable
foe Every righteous cause had his
generous support and the poor and
needy were not turned away empty
handed -
Standing for so much that endear-
ed him to our town and county, it is
not strange that the whole communi
ty should be saddened by his death,
and feel with the directors of this
Company that his many virtues de-
serve special and most favorable
mention and contemplation.

Tells women how to dry up a corn
SO it lifts out without pain.

Modern high-heeled footwear buck
les the toes and produces corns, and
many of the thousands of hospital
cases of infection and lockjaw are
the result of woman's suicidal habit
of trying to cut away these painful

For little cost there can be OBJ

which is sufficient to rid ones feet
of every hard or soft corn or callus
without the slightest danger or in

A few drops applied directly upon
the tender, aching corn stops the
soreness and shortly the entire corn,
root and all, lifts out. 1t is a sticky
substance, which dries the moment
it is applied, and thousands of men
and women use it because the corn
shrivels up and comes out without
inflaming or even irritating the sur
rounding tissue or skin. Cut this
out and try it if your corns bother
you.-Adv.
