Thirty Government Machines
Stalled in Mud North of Elroy
: for a Month Leave for Sparta

The army trucks which passed
through BarabOo some time ago have
had varied GApC4.cllcc. The Elroy
Tribune says:
The thirty Four Wheel Drive army
trucks that have been struck in the
mud mile north of the city for near
ly a month past, began rolling into
the city Monday forenoon, and before
night the entire thirty heavy trucks
were lined up on Main street, and
Tuesday and yesterday they were
rolled onto flat cars and taken to
Camp Robinson, where they will be
stored.
Nearly sixty cclored soldiers under
Lieutenants Albertson and Morse left
Chicago with these trucks to drive
them to Camp Robinson, Saparta,
where about one hundred of these big
cars will be stored until the next great
war calls them into service, or until
they are sold by the government.
The soldiers, boys slept in the trucks
until week ago, when the cold spell
came on, they were provided with
rooms on the second floor of the Nc
Evoy block, where they have been
very comfortable. The boys have been
quiet and unassuming and for colored
fellows, doing their duty for their
country, they are entitled to consider
able credit, and the old town will miss
their cheerful laughter and. song.

TAX IN
.DRY.SPRINC FIELD

Springfield may be dry legally, but
by the government. AS result ap
proximately 100000 must be paid tC
Internal Revenue Collector John L.
Pickering before May 20.
The order to pay has been sent out
to holders of government licenses, I'M
der the provisions Of the federal law
which provides an annual license of
81, 900 for holders of government liquor
licenses.
A few of the government licenses
are held by druggists. The others,
the records show, were issued to for
mer keepers of dramshops, who are
now conducting "soft-drink" estab-
lishments. Holders of licenses have
been notified to come in with $500
each before May 20, which will pay up
to July 1.
Voters of Springfield decided to ban
ish the saloon almost two years ago.
For time the Gid" was on in spots,
but finally the former dramshop keep
ers and others wendell their way to
the federal building and secured Ii
censes which permitted them to sell
liquor. The original cost of such Ii
cense was $26 annually. The recent
act of congress boosted it to $500

into the house in front of the store.
They didn't know the dog was there

with an arm load apiece of bundles

They started to run, and Patty, who
was quicker than Prissy, pulled her
down on the sidewalk and hen empti-

.Dear Helen and Girls:

Dear Helen ana GIFTS:
We'll, here ] am again. Hope the
Girls won't mind my taking up so
much of the coveted space in their
column. I know there is not much
a to spare so I'll make my letter
as short as possible.
IT just want to tell o how l felt
when I saw my letter In your column,
I'm. the first place. 1 looked for 1t
every night, but do you know, l really
dreaded seeing 1T there?
.It was the first time I have seen,
in print, something which I had writ
ten. But when I did get the courage
to read 1t over, and Helen's kind note
at the end, why then 1t began to look
q bit better to me.
"I know it is not worth a second
thought, but to me, of course, 1t means
a great deal more.
TT I'M thankful for that nom de
plume" or alias or whatever you
choose to call it I'm not very good at
French, Cor at anything else. for that
matter).
"But now I am gaining courage so
seeing this in the column won't,
hope, affect me in such a silly way
"Well, 1 think I have taken up
enough of your valuable space with
my childish prattle. SO hoping this
column keeps on growing. I'll stop
s~cribbling for this time, but remain,
"DEDDY."
Now 'Deddy" I won't hear of your
dropping out of our circle you see by
chance / might look onward to your
letters. I think you are n OF my
few correspondents who Is not a
school girl. AS for your feelings con-
~ .an oofnnip in nrtnt
well I guess you can have some Idea
of the "stage fright or rather Print
fright that I had when some years ago
1 for the first time saw an article by
myself in print. When I say fright
1 used the wrong word because 1t
should have been delight. Cause
after all 1t certainly does make one
print doesn't 1t. Certainly enjoyed per-
sonai and must a that DON'T
agree with "them."

Peggy Porter's Wish.
BY ROSE BUD.
Peggie Porter was a very pretty
girl of about thirteen years of age.
She was very happy only she always
wished for something exciting to
happen. Since she was about ten
years old she wished for that one
thing, excitement.
1t was Saturday, Peggie sat in her
boudoir writing a letter to her chum,
when he mother opened the door and
gie," she said, Guess where we are
going tomorrow" "Oh, motherAAdo
tell me quick" WELL said Mrs.
Porter, 1--WE are going to a place
where there are all kinds of amuse-
ments and a beach, where you can go
in bathing If you wish. So get up
early and be ready in time" "Oh,
mother, won't that be lovely? I'll be
up as soon as l cam"
The next day when the Porters got
off the train Peggie ran down the
road where there were ponies stand
ing in a row ready to give children a
ride. 'Oh mother, let me go on one
of those ponies. But you are toob big
Peggie," replied Mrs. Porter. mo
I'm not. look there's another girl just
as big as l." VERY well then, but be
careful" When Peggie was on the
ony something frightened him and
away he ran down the street with
Peggie %clinging on to his neck. her
hair flying behind her. and oh, SO
many people running behind. When
the pony turned the corne a mar
jumped out n caught him by the
bride. He lifted Jeggie off. III he
ran away with me-" cried Peggie.
Mrs. Porter came running, ooh. my
dear, are o hurt" she asked. mo
mother, but L have all the excitement
I want"
(The End.)
You have the ability to wor up a
good story. but get in more of a plot
next time. Rose Bud" 1t is not
worth while concentrating our ener-
gies upon a story which has practi-
cally no beginning and on ending.
Write another real soon and let me
hear from you
