pleasant and enjoyable visit to the
farm of James Bellwood. OF Chester
field county. on Monday. The pur-
pose OF the visit was to see the dairy
and gather some practical points from
the management Mr.. Bellwood was
very kind in showing them around and
there were many things OF interest to
be seen apart from the dairy. The
boys expressed themselves we'll pleased
and the information gained will
doubtless prove very valuable.
Mr.. Bellwcod has fine herd oil
Holstein cattle, about seventy OF
which are fresh He also has a nice
lot of heifers, and calves. The care
given them and the modern and prac-
tical methods Of feeding were all gone
over with the boys and they seemed
to be very much interested.
Among other things seen were some
live elk and elk heads. Mr.. Bellwood
has in his possession the largest moose

for miles on the front were killed, and
hardly one escaped. The trenches were
filed with dead men like cord wood
hardly one escaped. We gassed the
woods, and the Lord only knows how
many of the enemy we killed there. Our
gas was so strong that it killed the
Germans with their gas masks on. The
next day prisoners began to come in.

lost quite lot of men in this drive,
more wounded by machine gun bullets,
mostly in the legs. ] do not mind
those at all, but those 6-inch shells

glad the war is over now and we are
expecting to leave for the states some
time.
Oh, yes, want to tell you about the
German bombing planes. At night he
would come out and drop big light
flares that would light up everything
and turn his machine gun on whatever
he saw. Transports and billets he
would bomb. Those damn bombs turn
ed us fellows right over in our tents,
dropping four or FIVE in string. They
weigh about 100 pounds each of high
explosives. But we escaped it all. Our
battery only lost about 10 men killed.
Well, I've seen enough killing and
slaughter and hope / never. see any
more. We were so close up behind the
infantry that the Germans were still
kicking, lying along the road in one
place in the Argonne. Our machine
gun moved down ESQ Germans in a
road like cord wood. That was one |
awful sight. The road was red with !
blood. The wounded were picked up
and the dead dumped in the ditch so
we could pass with the guns. Some of
our men had gone over the top one /

top. That was another awful sight

Dear Uncle George:
will drop You line now the war is
over. 1 came through the seven hells
all right. 1t was lucky that I was not
blown all to pieces as I was missed
about five feet by two six-inch shells
that came from the Lo-d knows where.
Am well and have little touch of
rheumatism from sleeping ON the
ground, otherwise good as ever. I
spent 125 days on the front without
rest. We fought the Prussian regi-
ments' guards on the Vesle at Chateau
Thierry, the Aisne river, and dislodged
them from big mountain. From
there we chased them to the Aisne
river, shelled the roads, men lying all
along the road dead, and the pext
morning l drove the cannon right over
dead Dutchman. 1t was an awful
sight. Quite number of U. s. men,
also. The Germans were scattered all
over, arms blown off, legs and bodies
just pieces. We opened large bar
rage on the hill and in one place our
barrage killed 200 Germans in one
bunch, mostly Prussians. The Germans
do not fight back much, but surrender
easily, but the Prussians are worse than
Indians. The Germans even turn their
own machine guns OH the Prussians.
Many a Prussian was killed after he
was captured.
Fritzy was tickled wien we took him
prisoner and would come over and give
himself up at night. l was in the bat

By big vote Of 30 to 6,
Saturday Sth---LargeSt
Vote Of any county
having opposition from
neighboring towns.

The gratifying news reached
Circle Saturday afternoon (8th),
to the effect that the McCone bill
had passed the Senate "on high,
the vote being 80 to E.
The "few" opponents of the bill
had boasted of the fact that they
would kill the bill when it came
up in the Senate, but when it did
they couldn't get a Senator to pro-
test it, and put up fight for
them.
The bill is now in the hands of
Governor Stewart, and the fate of
the creation of the new county of
McCone now rests with him. BY
Friday or Saturday midnight, it
will be definitely known whether
or not the new county will be
created.
The bill for the creation OF Car
field county became a law last
Thursday midnight, the Governor
neither signing the bill, nor veto
ing it, and it therefore became a
law after the fve-day limit. Trea-
sure county out of Rosebud also
was created Thursday.
Two more new county bills pas
sed the Senate Thursday and are
in hands of the Governor. They
are Glacier and Pondera in the
western part of the state. The
vote on Glacier county was IL to
19. The vote on Pondera was
also very close.
The bill for creation of Roose-
welt county out of southern Sheri-
dan passed the Senate Immediately |
after the McCone bill, by vote of
% to 10.

McCOne County Boosters
Leave For Helena

Last Monday morning a bunch
of Circleites-all boosters for the
new county of McCone-departed
for Helena to help put her
through. Those going were:
Ben M. Larson, the pencil pusher
of this rag O. Freedom, H. A.
Jensen, Guy C. Stephens, B. N.
Stoney, j. X. Lowell and C. R.
Miller.
All remained to see the bill put
through the Senate ION High,
and the Banner editor was the
first 10 return, getting back SUM-
day evening. Messrs. Miller and
Lowell will be back (today) Mon
day, and rest of the boys together
with Mr.. Kalberq who has been in
Helena the past month, will re-
main few days longer.
Consequently the Banner is
quite late, but this county division
scrap is quite a game, and needs
lot of active boosters.

Dear Friend: I received your most
welcome letter some time ago
When got your letter we were just
ready to leave for the front. The
place we were sent 20 was a short dis.
.tance northwest of verdun. We were
at the front there ab9ut IA days, when
we were taken out AID shipped to Bel
gium in the vicinity of Ypres. This
might have been quite town at one
time, but is not much any more. There
is not building in it that has not
been shelled. From this place we were
marched across No Man IS Land, where
we camped about week in the vicin-
ity of town called Roulers, which had
been occupied by the Huns about a
week before. From here we were
marched to the from. Oct. 81 found us
quite scrap for one day, then we got
them on the run and chased them to a
place called Audenarde, which was our
objective, and we were relieved. After
week g rest we ware again marched
owards the front. IL was while camp
ng near Andenarde over night that we
we're notified that the armistice had |

,oys that were happy for once. War
vas not over yet, however, and we
we're soon marching forward again.
This time, however, there was no fight

urned to the west. We have now

JAMES L, CASE DIRECTOR OF
 BAPTIST STATE CAMPAIGN

Asserting that the government has taught the people how to give, Rev. Dr A. B. Coats of Hartford, secretary of the Connecticut Baptist convention, told the 300 dEegates from Baptist ch,.rches from all over the state, who gathered at New Haven Tuesday at Calvary Baptist church to hear about the plans for the $6,00000O drive the Baptists are prosecuting, that if each one of the Baptist families in the state would have one meatless day in the week for the church, it would put S130, 900 into the denominational treas ury in a year.
 pr. Coats pointed out that the extra allotment which Connecticut Baptists are being asked to raise toward the St, 100000 fund is only $90000 and sug- gested that with moderate economy the members of the convention could raise the sum quickly and without any hard ship.
 James L. Case of Norwich, campaign director for the state, announced the plans for the campaign, which call for campaign director in each church and inspirations rallies to be held ir the various Baptist associations in Connecticut and in the individual churches.

CONNECTICUT AVIATOR
 WINS CROIx DE CUERR

Capt Philip R. Babcock of Old Lyme, son of Frederick l.. Babcock and grandson of the late Jane R. Bab- cock, has been awarded the Croix de Guerre, by the French government for exceptional bravery during the battle of Chateau Thierry. This makes the second war cross won by Captain Babcock, the distinguished service cross having been awarded him previously for gallantry in ac- tion. The CroiX de Guerre .came to him as result of two feats in the air.
 On July 19, just after the big drive started at Chateau Thierry, he had a combat patrol with French troops that were advancing, when part of his mo tor was shot away by machine gun bullets from the ground. Even though his airplane was only 200 me- tres up at the time, he continued his trip, dropped his bombs on the Germans and was barely able to make an advanced field as his motor quit cold.
 His other daring act was performed on July 26 while protecting a recon naissance plane. According to his ci- tatlon from the French army head quarters, he drove off two Boche ma chimes that attacked them and also drove off others that went after his plane. While doing this his machine was hit by anti-aircraft guns anC holes were torn by bullets in the
 wings, tail and fuselage, spars GU
 and most dangerous of all his aileror i control wire was cut In spite ot these hits by German bullets he man.
