Rev. Mueller sad in part:
Elmore E. Schram, the brave soldier
and hero, who was killed in action at
the western front, was born at Milwau-
kee, March 9th, 1898. He was the only
beloved son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry
Schram, members of the fIv. Luth. ST.
Johns Congregation.
In 1915 Elmore enlisted and became
a member of the Baraboo and Reeds
burg militia, co. A. He received train
ing at Camp Douglas from June tosJuly
the same year when he was called to
the border in Texas near st. Antonio.
In January 1916 Elmore was mustered
,ut at Ft. Sheridan and came home.
On the End day of July he was called
again to the colors and was transferred
from Co; A to Battery d; 121, Field
Artillery After short training until
September, 1917, he left for Waco Tex
as. and from there February; 1913, to
Camp Merritt, state of New York Soon
after he sailed for France and into war.
Before Elmore left, he wrote from
Camp Merritt the following beautiful
words of comfort to his parents:
"Don't worry about me, God will
take care of me until it is time to
40. He loved his Saviour dearly"
Elmore was a good and faithful SOL
dier and comrade and was loved by all
who knew him.
August 11th,. 1918 was the date when
the Lord called his true servant from
the battlefield of Chateau Thierry,
France. His last words were:
- y = * y y X y y = y i: y \
j. "If mother could see me now i:
* * * s. x x 4. = y y !. y = \
He was buried by the chaplain of the
26th Field hospital, near Dravegny,
France, in little garden, across the
street from the Village Church, togeth-
er with six Americans and one French
man. A cross with Elmore's name
printed ON marks the place where he
rests, an obedient and faithful sol
dier to his country.
He will never be forgotten and will
be grealy missed by his parents, rela-
tives and friends. His age was 20 years,
4 months, and IA days. He will rest in
peace until the day Of sure and JOY
|ous resurrection, through Jesus, our
beloved Redeemer.
! CARD OF THANKS

and neighbors for their sympathy in
our bereavment, also the Rev. H. Muel-
Ter and Lieut. Edward Blackwell, theo-

The warm weather is not the best
for the Baraboo ice crop. None has
been cut by Paul Gust, the owner Of
the business. From day to day it has
been thought the thickness would be
sufficient to begin the harvest, but up
to the present it has not been safe to
drive horse on the river. One season
the crop was gathered in March, but
there is no assurance what Dame Ma
ture will do this year. There may be
plenty of ice and there may not. The
only thing that can be done is to wait
on the weather man. At Necedah
and other places the Chicago e North
western has filled the icehouses. From

MILD SEASON FOOLS
DEVILS LAKE BEAR

The cub bear at Devils Lake failed
to go into state of Information this
winter, evidently being misled by the
unusual weather conditions. Jane, as
she is named, has been on hand every
evening for her daily meal and at no
time has she gone into real seclusion.
Park Superintendent, Smith states,
however, that while there was snow
on the ground the bear stayed within
a hollow log, except when she ap-
Deared to eat.

LIEUT.. BATTLES
ARRIVES FROM
BATTLE FIELDS

Lieutenant Lloyd E. Battles has ar
rived from the battlefelds of France
bringing with him two scars obtained
at the front. Since his arrival there
has been a family gathering and the
calling of many friends to extend con.
gratulations. He is at the home of
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. E. j. Bat
ties, to remain for two months, en-
joying long deserved rest.
When he left home he joined the
marines and trained for some time
at Paris Island. He then went to
Quantico, Va, and sailed from Phila,
delphia on the Won Steuben, October
"a, 1917. There were a number OF
vessels in the squadron, and it re-
CURED twenty seven days to reach the
other side.
Ships Collide
While crossing the Atlantic the
Won Seuben was hit by another boat
and there was grave danger of the
craft sinking, but this did not hap
pen. 1t was a narrow escape from a
serious disaster.
She'll ExpIodes
The marines first went to the
trenches near Verdun. The officer says
there is nothing left Of that city but
a pile of debris. In fact that is about
all that remains of most of the vii
lagos and cities in the battle area.
While there a shell came along and
broke only four feet from Mr.. Bat
les. He heard : it coming but there
was no use to attempt to run or
dodge. A piece of shrapnel went
through hiss right shoulder, creating
an ugly wound. Several men were
hit at the same time and a few mules
we're killed. Mr.. Battles went to a
hospital, where he remained for some
time.
Later he went into the firing line
near scissors, in the Chateau Thierry
fight Here he was hit in the leg by
a machine gun bullet and from that
he has not fully recovered. He is
able to walk readily, but the limb is
weak.
Life a Nightmare
The battle of Chateau Thierry and
the others in that region have been
many times told. 1t was there the tide
turned, where the Germans were sent
reeling back by the marines and other
troops. Lieutenant Battles was in the
thickest of the fight. He says living
was a nightmare, Rain, rats, dead
bodies, no sleep, bursting shells,
Whizzing bullets, gas clouds and all
the other death demons were there.
For days and days, little food to be
had, they lived as best they could,
driving the Germans back and back.
After being wounded the second
time he went to a hospital again and
later to seaport for guard duty He
reached Hoboken on Tuesday evening,
February IL.
In France he ate two Thanksgiving
and two Christmas dinners. In all
that time he did not meet a single
person he knew. One day he saw a
student he had met but does not know
his name. He only saw him long
enough to wave his hand.

Exile Planned .
For the Kaiser

Paris, April 23.-Exile was report
ed today to have been agreed upon
by the big Four recently as to the
punishment to be meted out to William
Hohenzollern. This is said to have
been decided upon unanimously.
AS a result, it is understood an ef-
fort will be made to bring the former
kaiser before an international tribun-
al to be tried for the political offense
of violating Belgian neutrality, rather
than attempting to extradite him
Holland for criminal offenses commit
ted against Belgium. In case he is
convicted it is said to have been
agreed that exile, similar to that Of
Napoleon, will be the proper punish
ment.
Secretary Lansing, American men,
ber of the committee on responsible
tiles for the war, is known to have
stood out against efforts to try VIII
helm, maintaining ther is no existing
law under which it could be done.
Japan supported Lansing, and the
committee remained deadlocked for
several weeks. 5..a
The attitude of the Japanese, how
ever, was based on their belief that
individual punishment of the former
kaiser, would violate the precedent
under which their own emperor is held
to be infallible because of "divine
right"
The present plan is regarded as at
least partially meeting Japanese OBJ
jections, since Wilhelm could take his
"sancity" with him into exile.

Is the boy who went from the farm
to the cantonment to the seaport,
then overseas, willing to 60 back to
his job on the farm.
HE'S MIGHTY GLAD TO GET
BACK. y ...
That is Iowa's verdict, at least.
lowa's heroes of many divisions
are returning to the state in droves,
just in time to mount q plow or a
tractor, and all are taking more in
terest in the work than ever before.
Here's Iowa's secret.
It's the boys and girls clubs, or
ganized to interest the children in
producing and raising grain, fruit,
hogs and calves.
Iowa is ahead of the nation in it's
activ ty for boys and girls, authorit-
les realizing the Importance Of child
rem on the farm. In result, farmers
are united in their establishment Of
clubs for their children; corn clubs
fruit clubs, and now the dairy calf
clubs. ..mA
Farm Offers Future
I'VE lind that this kind Of club
work tends to overcome the prejudice
established in the minds of many
young people that the farm holds no
future for them," said E. S. Estel,
state dairy expert of Waterloo, who
has been in charge of placing hun
dreds of high grade dairy heifer
calves under the care of boys and
girls in the state this year.
Nothing can attract and hold a
child's interest as much as to really
own some animal or growing thing.
The idea Of boys pig growing up
into dads hog has been the cause of
too many boys elaving the farm"
says the sage.
About $4,000 will be loaned this
season by Iowa banks to Iowa boys
and girls on the farm. The young
sters signs notes, indorsed by their
parents or guardian, for the price of

sell it gaining the profit Of the work.
Calves come to the members by ex-
press in crates, and distribution is
made by lot.
Along the same line are the hog
clubs, and cultivating organizations,
each project being fostered by an
association Of veteran farmers.
Interest of the children took rapid
rise with the end Of the war and the
release of men to do other necessary
farm work. According to one pro-
minent farm club organizer, 85 per
cent Of the boys and girls on Iowa
farms, between the ages Of 10 and 1S
years, are members of 4 club of some
variety.
The movement is recognized as the

Following Mr.. Schafer's talk, 1t.

ing talk of his experiences in France.
Many of the humorous incidents Of
the trip and stay in that country
were related and the crowd was kept
in laughing humor throughout
his talk. One incident Of particular
interest to his listeners was the ex-
perience he had while in London.
1t. Furlow stated, "While in London
had the chance of seeing the English
people make a new lord. I was at
Parliament House viewing the seen
cry when an English officer stepped
up to me and asked if l wished to see
them make a new lord. l told him
that didn't know that they had had
trouble with the Lord, but would be
glad to witness the ceremonies of
making a new one." This ceremony
was very impressive and much pomr

THUMBS IN PIGS

Pigs with thumps display a very
irregular and jerky breathing and fall
away very rapidly. This is caused
most often by over feding, lack of ex-
ercise, sunshine, ventilation. The
treatment in this case is simple
enough. Reduce the feed, force exer-
else and place pigs in the open air pen
as much as the weather will permit.
One often sees the same symptims in
litters that have had an open air ex-
tence, which closely resembles an in
fectious disease, as one of the pigs
will drop off every day or so. In a
case of this kind Immediately remove
thesick pigs and unless very valuable
better to destroy and burn. Disin-
feet the quarters thoroughly. BY all
means when possible remove sow and
litter to clean we'll lighted and we'll
ventilated pens.

TEST SEED CORN

Seed corn should always be tested
before planting, and even if the corn
was tested in the winter the germina-
ton of corn is oftener poorer in the
spring than in the winter. Planting
corn with poor termination results in
doing lot of work for nothing, as the
whole field must be goneover even if
there's only half a stand. If by test
the termination has been found poor
pretty good stand could be secured
by thicker planting, or by securing
seed corn of good termination.
