General Traub Describes the
Work of the 35th Division

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-A dra-
matte recital of the fighting of the
Thirty-ffth kansas and Missouri Ma
tional Guard) division in the great
battle of the Argonne was given the
House rules committee today by Ma
jor-General Peter H. Hraub, the d.
vision commander, who himself was
tice gassed in the course of the bat
tie.
Appearing to deny charges of the
needless sacrifice of men made by
Governor Allen of Kansas, General
Traub described with great price the
work of his troops from the misty
September morning when they went
over the top until they had driven the
Germans back nearly six miles after
six days and nights of almost inces-
SAINT fighting over the most strongly
fortified section of the Western front.
Fres from France, the general still
was suffering from the effects of gas.
"For six days and nights" said the
general, 1--WE fought the best the
Boche had. We penetrated the lines
for five an da half miles, took 10, 900
prisoners and captured "a pieces of
field artillery and As machine guns.
We fought in the open and we lost
500 killed and $4,000 wounded, the
great majority of the latter being
hurt but slightly. Never was there a
finer body of men than those had
the honor to command"

able Immediately; $75,OO0,C00 for
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1920
and $75,000,000 each for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1921. The two
appropriations of $75,OOO,OOO each
will be available July I, 1919, and
July l, 1920, respectively.
This will place between four and a
half and five millions of dollars at the
disposal of both Virginia and Tennes-
see during the next two years and
three months, provided they are in a
position to put up an equal amount.
Mr.. Roberts, who has been actively
working for the $50,0OO,OOO road
bond issue in Tennessee, will at once
start movement to have an extra
session of the Virginia legislature for
the purpose of raising funds with
which to meet the Federal aid allotted
to Virginia by increasing the 3 cents
levy to Is cents and by raising the
automobile license tax to 81 per
horsepower.
Mr.. Roberts stated that Virginia
could not issue road bonds until the
constitution is amended, but there is
no reason why the State should not
wake up and take this Federal money,
and put the returning soldiers to
building good roads Immediately.

Capture of Hill.

General Traub told the committee
the first task of his men after "jump-
ing off, was the capture of hill,
which had everything in the way of
defense which the Germans could
build, and one that "the French had
been up against for four years" The
Thirty-fifth, the general said, took the
strongly fortified position in three
hours after vicious hand-to-hand fight
ing.
The wounded received the best of
care and the first consideration, Gen.
eral Traub told the committee. He
said the 1000 wounded passing
through the field station of the Thir-
ty-ffth division were hurried to the
rear by impressing into service every
truck of every description, but be-
cause of the "devilisn fire" of the
Germans they could be moved only at
night.
Aeroplanes appeared on call and
flew over the German lines, the gener-
al said. A shortage of horses was adj
mitted, but the officer declared that
there was always artillery support.
Only half dozen shells from the
American artillery fell in it's lines,
but in this connection the general
asked permission to refrain from COM
ment on French artillery with the d.
vision.

CLEAN WATER

A little negro boz wandering along
outside southern city one hot day,
came across one of the city's reser-
voirs. 1t appeared to him to be
most inviting spot, and he promptly
shook off his two garmepts-shirt
and trousers and jumped in. One
of the guards of the reservoir hap
pened along, and demanded what he
was doing there. The pickannny re-
piled he was "jist swimmin' aroun,."
The guard said: Don't you know
that is the water we drink"

came up said; Oats all right, boss,

Pershing Too Busy
Talk Politics

SHARON, Feb 21.-"General Per-
shing is concerned My with his mill
tary duties" was the answer made by
Col. Carl Boyd, late aide to General
Pershing, in reply to letter sent by
James Bracken, Republican leader at
Greenville, declaring that Gen. Per-
shing would probably be nominated
for the Presidency at the G. 0. P.
convention in 1920.
Mr.. Bracken congratulated the
General upon the defeat of Germany
and said that in response to the wish
es of returnin American soldiers
the commander of the American Ex-
peditionary Forces would probably
be the Republican candidate next
year.
Col. Boyd's letter in reply, follows
"My dear Mr.. Bracken: Gen, Per-
shing has asked me to acknowledge
receipt of your cordial letter of Nov.
IA, and to extend his hearty thanks
for your high appreciation of the
achievements of our armies in France
and of himself as their Commander
in Chief. As for the other matter
mentioned in your letter, he thanks
you for the compliment which you
pay him, but he is concerned only
with his military duties, and feels
that he could not consistently be-
come interested in any thing which
would divert his attention from them.
He asks me to extend you his best
wishes" se@sa

THE BEST START IN LIFE

Way back into the beginning of time you've
had ancestors. Thousands of persons now long
dead and gone are your direct relatves-so direct
that had they not lived and given children to the
world YOU would not be here today.
All of these forebears, with the possible ex-
cepto nof the three or four most recent ones have
done one thing and only one thing for you
they've made it possible for you to be alive today.
Their blood is in your veins and their character
istics, the scientists say, influence your life But
80 far as making life easier for you through be-
queathing you their savings, they haven't done it.
Unless you are one of very small group, not a
single dollar of the money that is yours today was
saved by anyone farther back along your ancestral
tree than your great-grandfather!
Thrift, saving, the accumulation of money
have been habits of mankind since Biblical days
and long before. But most of the fortunes of
today were made by men who lived and died only

cradle days man has been on the earth. Judging
by the worlds experience it is impossible for any
man to so conserve his savings and hedge them
about by law as to keep them intact for his chill
dren and his children's children for more than a
comparatively few years. 1t is not in the scheme
of things that any man should perpetuate his
fortune for long.
But it is in the scheme Of things that every
man should give his children the best start pos
sible in life. 1t is up to all Of to savenot for
the purpose of amassing huge fortune to be as a
memorial to our ashes for aeons to come-for his
tory proves it is impossible to do this-but simply
and solely to give our children the start in the
battle of life that they deserve.

IT SURE HATH CHARMS

b Kind friends, permit US to introduce Mr.. S. w.
Mcclure of Utah. .22@' t''.@~-<-& .' .fI
Mr.. Mcclure is secretary of the National WOOL
growers association and will soon send into our
midst experts to instruct on dressing and cook
ing lamb. Mr. McClure's vision is that Of a whole
lamb on every table every day. &4a
Lamb, Mr. Mcclure kindly informs us, has
more food value than beef and is considerable less
costly. Also, the British have so caught on to
these admirable aspects of lamb that they eat 25
pounds per capita per year, while Americans con-
sumo but pounds per capita, not counting goat
meat so popular in our southwest Morally hy-
CHEMICALLY and economically, lamb is much to be
preferred to hog or steer and moreover, it is our
patriotic duty to turn to lamb as never before
BY eating much more lamb we will conserve other
meats which can be sent to forei ign peoples, just
as We patriotically ate more corn, last year. so
that Europe could have our wheat.
Furthermore, if we don't eat more lamb, we're
going to be forced to wear cambria or calico pam
falcons, through scracity of wool. Sixty per cent
OF the sheepman's profits come from Lambs only
40 per cent from wool. Encourage the big profits
en- dot his business or get your safety-pi ready
for cambria breeches.
Mr. Mcclure has other arguments for lamb
but we'll leave them to be presented by his travel
ing experts and lecturers. One such argument.
however, clincher-we cannot withhold longer.
1t is that lamb, judicously apportioned, makes an
acceptable ingredient of hash. Anything elevat-
ing hash ought to receive a heavy vote.

HARSH WORDS NOT ESSENTIAL TO
MARRIED HAPPINESS

Listen to this, you married folks who seem to
feel that one of the happiest things about being
married is to have someone you care for around
the house to speak harshly with:
Once upon time there lived man and wife
who, though they had been happily married tor
twenty-five years, never said harsh word nor
hasty word nor a nasty word to each other! In
all these years neither ever heard the other make
a single disparaging remark concerning the pick
ing of lemons in the garden of love or marriage
being lottery with all the numbers blanks! f..
Even when the household bills mounted to un-
expected heights, even when hubby forgot his
overshoes and contracted both cold and
crouch, even when the children failed in school
and the cistern went dry and the plumbing ssprang
leak, there were no harsh words, no upbraidings,
nor anything of that kind. @~>, .~T
Think of it-ho rough speech when wifey re-
fused to longer let hubby keep the moths out of
the carpets by sprinkling cigar ashes on them, no
rough speech when hubby stayed up late with
sick friend and came home with stray poker chips
in his pockets-no rough words under any crcum-
stances! Think of it and gasp with astonish-
ment!
Who was this couple? Well, married folks,
you're all pretty wise-no doubt you've already
guessed it. This man and wife of whom we speak
are both Of them deaf and dumb!
