with them on the spirit OF fraternity

Released From Army
Riley ID. Kent at Home and Will
Immediately Take up Wo"k
at ArcO Rraich

Riley D., son of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Kent, was RECENTLY released from the
service and returned to Blackfoot
Saturday evening. He visited with
his mother and sisters until We'd
nesday, when he left for Arco to re-
sumo the management of his ranch
there.
Mr.. Kent was at Camp Funston,
Kan. when he received his discharge,
but most of his training was received
at Camp Fremont. Mr.. Kent was
sent to Camp Mills at one time to
make preparations to sail for France,
but while there he contracted infiu-
enza and was compelled to remain in
a hospital at Long Island. After he
recovered he was picked up by All
other ship bound for tie land Of
battle. They had been on the water
four days when the good ship
sprung leak" and the men aboard
had to be transferred onto another
boat. While the change was being
made, at mid-ocean, the joyful ar.
mistice news was received, so all SOL
diers were returned to the states.
. A few years ago Mr.. Kent spent
four years In the foreign field carry
ing on mission work, mostly in Ger
many, and he was somewhat disap-
pointed at not being permitted to
again visit that land and compare
the war-torn cities and country of
today with the apparently civilized,
country that it was his
good fortune to visit some years be-
fore the war.

DR.. Jackson said our write-up of
