ALL I'M THE
LINE OF DUTY

Some years ago Sergeant julius
Cordier Of the Putnam police depart
rnent found wandering about Wood
stock avenue a pig. The pig would
not give IT'S name, bat was a very
friendly Pig and insisted on following
the officer all over his beat. The cop
finally awakened a number Of citizens
trying to locate the owner of the
ham. pork and sausage, and towards
morning placed the bristIe back where
II belonged
The most recent record on the po-
lice blotter devoted to animals with
four legs was made by Patrolman
Ernest Chandler, who found COW
exploring Main street near Bridge
street IN the early morning hours. 1t
was no place for COW, although
there was not a great amount of traf-
fie at that hour The COW was out be
fore the miikmen, but as II had not
tried to dispose of any of its own pro
duct II could not be taken INTO Gus
tody for peddlmg without license
The officer thought his brother blue
coat would like to see what he saw
and so he blew his pohceman's whistle
which brought Officer Laird to the
scene. There was no question but
the COW was COW, but as there was
no place for cows at the police sta
ton it couldn't be locked up there
The officers took the COW without any
trouble, as she seemed to have had all
the sightseeing she cared for, and she
followed along with sleepy eyes and
Eazily swishing tail until the police
men found that she gave milk for Jos
eph Maynard. Joe had her back in
time to get his supply for breakfast.

CHOOSE
TO COME HERE
Something About Our City
That Boys Like

What is It about our little city that
appeals to runaway boys? 1t is not
possible that we have a wild and
woolly appearance to venturesome
youths bent ON seeking adventure, and
our bright light district is anything
but lively after the shadows begin to
fall, and TO boys seeking excitement
there is not mach to attract them.
However. they do come here and give
our blue-eoated officers extra work TO
do. Within week six boys have been
picked up here
Friday night a quintet of Worces-
ter fortune seekers ranging in age
from q to Is years. SWITCHED a ride
on part of he government control
led rolling stock built to carry all
kinds of merchandhse, but for which
no tickets are sold The lads did not
wait until the train reached the sta
ton. but detrained among the tracks
and switches of the upper railroad
yard. So many strangers invading our
little city at one time attracted the
attention of the officers, and soon
they were out to find out why we were
SO favored With the hoydom fear of
blue coat and brass buttons the
youngsters beat it at sight of Put
MANS finest, but shot fired into the
air by Officer Laird was enough to
bring the small company up with a
halt
The adventures were lined up and
marched to police headquarters, and
soon their parents were communicat-
ed with. There WAS not much worry
in the various homes from whence
came the invading party, and the best
they got from fond parents was the
advice to allow their offspring to walk
home. The boys had committed no
crime. so were allowed their liberty
with the advice to go back to the old
Bay State and become sober and in
dustrious citizens of that historic com.

NO IMPLEMENT PRICE CUT.
Farmer Warned Not to Wait for Much
Desired Reduction.

A reduction In the prices Of grain
binders an dother farming machinery
will not become effective for the 1919
season, say the manufacturers.
They also say that farmers who are
delaying buying necessary machin-
cry expecting to get the benefits of
an early price reduction, are placing
themselves in a precarious position as
regards equipment to handle the
heavy crops that seem assured this
year. The demand for farming ma
chinery Of all kinds Is said to be
greater at present than ever before
in the history Of the country.
That is ascribed by manufacturers
to the fact that the 1910 crops prom

WAR WORK COUNCIL TO
HELP RETURNED SOLDIERS

The National War Work Council OF
the Y. NJ. c. A. held district meet
Ing In Salina Monday attended by
G. II. Baker and four others. II Is
the purpose Of the Y. NJ. G. A. TO set
aside fund for work with returning
soldiers. This fund Is apportioned In
the amount of Soc for each man who
entered service from each county.
The report of the Adjutant General
for Dickinson county shows that
$3.50 men were sent into the service
which would allow our county an APP
portionment Of $4,000 This fund
will be distributed In the best way
that can be devised. This fund Is
not large enough for Dickinson to
employ man TO give his whole time
TO the service but 1t may be desir-
able to combine the funds OF Dick
lnson, Lincoln. Ottawa and Ellis coun-
ties and employ IA special man for
three months, giving his time to the
counties in proportion to their allot-
mcnt. and working through churches,
Red Cross and similar agencies. Those
interested in this work will be glad
to have an expression Of opinion from
any one interested through the col
umns of this paper as to the best
method OF using this apportionment.

entered into the activities Of the high
school at once by being secretary OF

dent of the Sophomore class In the
wear 1917. He joined the cadets
when they were organized and was
also In the band. When the English
club was organized he was voted in
as a member. In 1918 he played
football on the first team and was
made captain of Company i of the
cadets. Being a winner of an A, he
was in the A club. He tried out for
debate and making this he was plac-
ed as second speaker on the negative
team As he has been popular In
other activities we are sure he VIII
make a good debater.
Hazel Roger entered A. II. S. in

Col. Herr Contradicts Gen.
Monash' S Criticism of
27th and Both.

Staff officers here generally re-
sent as misstatements the asser-
tions of Gen. 'Monash. who in his
memoirs says that while the
Twenty-seventh and 'Thirtieth Ameri-
can divisions fought gallantly at
Bellecovrt. they embarrassed the
action of his Australian troops by
falling to mop up" after they had
passed over the field.
Gen. Monash's criticisms, while
bracketed with high praise of the
Americans, are regarded as an ef-
fort to minimize the exploits of
American troops as much as Dos
sible.
The battle to which Gen. Monash
refers was fought on September 20
and ended in the capture of Belle
court, largely by the American di-
visions named. STAFF officers here
say 1t was not the Americans fault
that they led the charges while the

that as a consequence the Austral-
ians when coming up saw Germans
coming out of the ground behind
the Americans and that this disor-

Under the circumstances the Ger
