FIRE AT CAMP DIN BURNS
BARRACKS AND EQUIPMENT

Camp Dix, N. J.-Several officers
of the 2Sth and other divisions, at
tached TO the casual officer detach-
ment while awaiting discharge,
lost their equipment and many SOU
yenirs of their foreign service in q
fire in their barracks at noon to-
day. The blaze, thought to have
started from a cigarette, spread
rapidly through the frame building,
causing excitement in that part of
the camp, at present crowded with
soldiers awaiting discharge.
The absence of wind enabled the
camps fire department to keep the
flames confined to the structure in
which they started.
Much of the baggage stored in
the building was salvaged after the
fire started. Several officers had
narrow escapes from injury in saw
ing their effects.
Major Lewis NJ. Scott, formerly
of the 306th Machine Gun Bat
talon of the 18th Division and son
of Major Gen. Hugh l.. Scott, Camp
Commander, has been assigned to
duty here.

DOGS CALLED SHEEP MENACE

Lexington, Ky, May 25.-The
Executive Committee of the Ken
lucky Sheep Breeders Association
to-day announced resolutions adopt
ed by the members here, who are
among the leading sheep producers
of the State. 1t is declared that
the greatest menace to the sheep in
dustry is the dog, which fact has
done more in recent years not only
to cause sheep men to become dis
gusted and dispose of their fiocks,
but also to keep hundreds of other
men from going into the business"
Losses to sheep in 1916, the latest
report available, were from one to
siXty-eight head per flock, it is said.
Declaring that the dog law should
continue to be strictly enforced and
that sheep breeders and kindred
livestock associations in Kentucky
will continue TO support it despite its
Importance being questioned in
some quarters, the resolution says:
THE dog law represents in the
opinion of members of the Sheep
Breeders Association, the best opin
ion of the livestock interests of
Kentucky, the method by which
livestock may be protected from
dogs, that the present law as enact
ed is satisfactory to the livestock
interests of the State; that it is
effectively administered and that it
is a source of protection to the
farmer and has met with no COM
plant from taxpayers"

pected that these sentiments VIII be
crystalllzcd. Kentucky gave the lives
of EGGS Of her sons 10 the cause.
/ Preservation OF the memories Of these
heroes and their deeds Is an aim OF the
Legion. But there will be practical
help to the returning soldiers In the
organization, according to plans out
lined by the temporary organization,
which, as 1t composes the delegates
who went to st. Louis, is the present
nucleus Of the movement in Kentucky.
Bureaus will be established for the
purpose Of obtaining employment for
returned soldiers, and for obtaining in

other subjects in which he or his fam
lily had a vital interest. New works
Of this nature VIII he taken up as the
policies of the Legion are defined.
The American Legion had its incep-
ton in Paris last year when II group
of reserve and National Guard officers
of field rank, gathered In Paris on an
official mission, took advantage of the
opportunity to suggest permanent
association Of veterans. These pio-
neers quickly saw the necessity Of
making the Legion medium for not
only the overseas officer, but for the
enlisted man and for those officers
and enlisted men who were denied the
privilege of getting over" as well. In
the same manner, the Navy and Ma
rlne Corps We're taken In.
The Paris. conference suggested that
representative meeting I've held In ~. |

sound the sentiment of those now on |

place under suspicious conditions, no
permanent organization was formed, |

will enable many Of those now on the

for the veterans Of every county to

MAN 127 YEARS OLD WALKS
EIGHT MILES TO TOWN

Little Hooking, Ohio, Nov. 19.-One
hundred and twenty-seven years old
and still able to cut corn and clip off
an eight-mile walk to Parkersburg. w.
Peyton of Washington county claims to
hold Ohio's longevity record.
Furthermore he says he doesn't need
any of the elixir of youth, for although
toop-shouldered, he is far from the
decrepitude of many Washington coun-
ty residents who are so years younger.
As far as is known, Uncle Billy is
one of the Oldest persons living today
in the United States, competing with
Kentucky's boasted 13-year-old noun
taineer for the honors. He celebrated
his 127th birthday September by cut
ting corn in the field adjoining his lit
tie homemade shack between Torht
and Little Hooking.
He hasn't any use for automobiles or
trains and spurns all innovations to
ride to Parkersburg, where he goes
several times each year, always nego-
tiating the eight miles each way on
foot. He is an inveterate smoker, his
clay pipe being his constant com
panion.
The home in which he lives with his
granddaughter, he built unassisted out
of rocas and large cakes of limestone
shale, plastering the stones together
with mud-cement.
Uncle Billy, when 6, was sold as
slave and brought from the East to
West Virginia He rode on horseback
behind George Creel, his master and
has seen six generations of the Creel
family reared since then.
He is perhaps prouder of the fact
that as slave he never had whip
lash touched to his back than is he of
his record-breaking age. He worked
digging coal in the mines of Virginia
for his first master for thirty-nine
years, and with the emancipation of
the slaves moved to Ohio with the
Creel family.
Uncle Billy's wife died many years
ago, and he has since made his home
with a granddaughter. He has n son
more than so.
