thank all who sent cards to my ia
Their on his ninety fourth birthday.
He was much pleased and l appre-
ciate your thoughtfulness.
What wonderful weather we have

months to April, and then soon to the
good old summer time.
I was glad to see that some of the
old writers have come back to The
Corner page again. l have not dared

ones, although they are very welcome
but you all know how shy l am. J

The saddest word In the history Of
war Is missing" As officially reported
In the casualty lists, the designation
has been styled a euphemism for
dead" Sometimes. though, the miss
Ing are subsequently located, and the
names transferred to the list of killed,
wounded on prisoner, says Providence
journal. More rarely, they turn up all
right, as when men become lost from
their commands in the turmoil of bat
tie and make their way back at some
distant part q the line. In the ma
jority of cases, after some interval,
the missing must be given up for dead
there can never be the melancholy
satisfaction Of knowing the circum-
stances Of their fate. The names Of
$500 men, of all ranks, Of the Ameri-
can expeditionary forces are still en-
rolled among the missing, although
diligent efforts have been made, and
are still being made, to reduce the
list. A month or SO ago 1t bore more
than 1000 names. The number Is
perhaps not extraordinary, considering
that more than million of our SOL
diers were actually engaged in field
operations; considering, too, that many
of our units were associated In battle
with the British and French armies,
and so lost contact with our own per-
sonnel staffs.

"Have we been reaping where we
have not sown? The annals of agri.
culture in this country show conclu-
sively that we have. New England is
not alone in the Indictment" says New
York Sun. 1t has been the fate Of
agriculture in America to leave in its
wake exhausted soil-soil no longer
capable of sustaining profitable crop
production. The history of the west
ern movement may be condensed into
this single phrase. the impulse of farm
ers to build treasure cities out of soil
fertility. Our agricultural develop
ment has been made at the expense of
Americas greatest natural resource.
We have developed our agriculture in
the same manner as oil operators have
developed their industry. When an
oil well goes dry the drill is sent down
ip new section Of the field, and a
short-lived "gusher" is the reward.

Of their forces. The first suggestion

They say German hatred of Ameri-

That statement will afford the basis of
denial and another story that the
sternest measures are required to keep
the soldiers from fraternizing with the
civilians Of the occupied area. The
average reporter in Europe is not en-
tightening anybody much, but he is
stimulating the worlds guessing pro-
pensities right along.

Lie funeral OF Mrs. V. .. re-
trik, who died Friday morning at
- a. M. of old age, was held Sun
day morning. Requiem Mass was
served in the Catholic church and
burial in the cemetery in town.
The deceased was born in Bohe-
mia June Is, 1846, and her maid
en- name was Smidmajer. She
came to America in 1869 and stay
ed with relatives near Spilleville,
Iowa, until May 1871 when she
married V. S. Petrik and then
moved with him on his claim
north of town (now owned by An
ton Rokusek) where they lfarmed
for three years. Her husband
then sold the claim and they NOV
ed back to Iowa to the town of
Ackley where they remained for
seven years. Thereafter they
came back to this county and he
bought land south Of town (now
owned by his son Peter), where
they pursued farming until about
twenty years ago when they NOV
ed to town to spend old age. She
was a kind old lady and was held
in high hfesteem by all. She was q
kind old lady and was held in high
esteem by all. She is survived by
her husband, two sons, Peter and
Joseph, and three daughters: Ana
stazia, wife of Frank Straka; Jose
phine, wife of F. j. Varilek and
Pauline, wife of Louis Hakl, all
of whom reside in this vicinity.
She also has one sister and one
brother in Bohemia. There are
twenty eight grandchildren.
Anton Polasek who was SOL
dier in the Cecboslovak army in
France stopped here Tuesday on
his way from up the Platte line
for a short visit. He came to this
country twenty years ago from
Bohemia and was engaged in the
butcher business in David City,
Neb. He volunteered to the Che
choslovak army, which had been
forming here since the world war
broke out. in December, 1917 and
shortly after crossed the ocean
and took an active part in the bat
ties of Picardy, Somme, Marine
and Flanders during which he was
wounded four times and gassed
once. The hardships at the front
have impaired his health and the
fact that he is now 49 years Of
age all the more have incapacitat-
ed him for manual labor. For
this reason he has been granted a
permit by our government to sell
patriotic and allegoric pictures,
and a certain percent. from the
profits will be donated to the wild
ows and orphans of the fallen SOL
diers of Chechoslovakia. Mr.. Po-
fasek wears the regulation French
uniform bearing the insignia C,S,
which stands for Chechslovak,
with which the French govern
ment fitted out these warriors of
Bohemia. He informed us that
over %, 900 were recruited in this
country for the Chechoslovak ar
