Forgot What He Needed.

From the Republican, Mt. Giliad,
Ohio: ."The editor had an interesting
experience some time ago., when
young gentleman came to this Office
and asked for a copy of the Morrow
County Republican. He scrutinizsd
it carefully when copy was handed
him, and then said: "Now / know!"
"What is it you are looking for" we
inquired. "My wife sent me after a
bottle of Chambcrlain's Cough REM
edy and forgot the name. / went to
several stores and the clerks named
over everything in the line on the shelf
except t'Chamberlain's I'll try again,
and I'll never go home without Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy" The Re-
publican would suggest to the propri-
etors of stores, that they post their
clerks, and never let them substitute.

substituting is permitted, to say no.

Nenweid. / am not over anxious to
see any more of these German towns,
so / have not gone on leave yet.
1t looks like we were going to have
some spring now. 1t has been raining
and there has been only a small freeze
within the week. We let the fire die
down in the stove yesterday and OPEN
ed the windows completely. 1t has
been warm enough to sleep without
using our overcoats as cover, and to
go without them. Archie sent me
clipping on the vote on the League
of Nations" resolution in the House
Once again the Republicans are max
ing themselves obnoxious and spell
ing their own defeat in 1920. | be-
lieve that Champ Clark is going to
cast his hat for the Presidential chair.

figure for the opposite party.

marriage, also the piece on the Lead
companies new trick. AS / said once
before, such acts are going to take on
a new aspect in the future. Labor
unions are adopting attitudes that
are decidedly not antagonistic or OBJ
stinate and the corporations must
come to new standards.
There are no mines here. In coming
to Germany we passed through Long
wy, the important mining town of the
valley, seized by the Germans in their
first steps of war against France.
At this place, at Essen and at Mem
wer'd are the foundries of the Krupps.
There are some coal mines in the
plateau above the valley.
You wanted to know about the vine
yards. There are not as many now as
there were before the war and the few
left are on waste places. Have no
pictures to illustrate, though | have
sent YOU few. Those streaks on the
pictures of the hills of the Rhine are
either rows of small vines or terraced
vineyards. Most are the latter. One
important industry of this immediate
vicinity is making of brick. The sub
soil at depth of about five feet is
made chalky gravel, the particles are
about the size of chat in the Lead
Belt, though round and soft. When
these particles are wet they can be
pressed into blocks which are quite
light and hold their shape very well
These bricks are used for building
purposes only, and they make a pretty
white house. When finished off with
concrete the effect is good.

INTERESTING LETTER
FROM GERMAN
Germany. January &c, 1919.

Germany, January &c, 1919.
will write a few of my experiences,
affairs, methods and RABBITS Of life.
| am National Army man. The joke
these volunteers have on the drafted
birds, as they are called, is: You
son of a gun, you wouldn't enlist, but
they got you anyhow and we have on
the volunteers: You joined the Army
to have a home. But what my first
paragraph will be on is my introduc-
ton to the army
| first took two examinations in
Pennington, Mo-, and was passed
both times for a sound man, but |
think | was overlooked both times.
Anyway along in the month of Feb
ruarp, 1918, | got notice from the
Local Draft board of Pennington to
report in Pennington on March the
4th at $3.50 o'clock for military SER
vice in the u S. army. Well ! be-
gan getting ready to GO. | had
weeks notice | reported there at
$3.50 on the appointed date and the
first thing was roll cali and we have
had it ever since The next thing,
they appointed captain in charge of
the crew. Then about II O'Clock we
ate our dinner. The dinner was
given by some women's club. / know
not what club, but know the dinner
known as Monjay in French and as
essen in Duptch was good and the
women were good too or else they
wouldn't have given it to US. In ad-
dition they put eats on the car to feed
rs for supper and breakfast too.About
?. p. m. We were run out of the stock
pen and put in the cattle cars and
then the army life began. There were
between fifty and seventy-five head in
our car. We proceeded to enjoy our
selves the remainder of the afternoon
and the following night. About ten
o'clock the next morning we reached
the camp at Fort Riley, Kansas.
There we were run out of the cars and
lined up for roll-call. 1t was pretty
cold, but that mattercd not as we had
to wait for our turn and the other
fellows had to do the same. | had to
laugh to see the first fellow get his
punishment, so | will explain it. He
had taken down to hard drinking and
dice rolling and some how or other
he had lost his cap. When his name
was called he answered here and
he stepped out. He was asked where
his hat was. He said he lost it last
night. They put him out about 80
feet from US by himself and there he
stood about three hours by little
tree, bare headed, and the wind -was
blowing very cold. You see, the army
wants everybody to look alike, and
he had no hat. Therefore, he had to
be put out of the ring. Well, then
we were taken up to the supply office.
There we got our beds, ticks, mess
kits and some Of our clothes, and the
clothes were all sizes. They were
taken as they came to them. And
then we were run down to the bar
racks where we put up our beds, and
then went out and lined up for chow
our dinner in other words. There
were not more than 2250 of US in one
line. That wasn't many, was it. The
next morning we proceeded to drill.
1t was rather lard to submit ourselves
to discipline. Nevertheless it had to
be. The next thing was to learn to
come to attention. Come to attention

Sayn, Germany, Feb. %, 1919.
Dear Father:-Just finished COM
plete round of letters on Friday.
Think it will not hurt anyone if l
spend most of this day in another
round. You see this is about all the
ammunition we "Medic's" have an op-
portunity to put over. Yesterday
brought mail and there were six let
ters for me. One from John, one
from Archie, one from Adelphia, one
from Uncle Jerry, and two from you.
Johns letter was quite lengthy and
had plenty of news. UNCLE Jerry's let
ter summed up the conditions in the
Lead Belt. The letter from Silver
Springs was the only one that could
be termed brief. Well, am all o. X.
as usual, and as busy as the last time
| wrote.
We expect the men to be returned
from detached services and suppose
we shall take up the daily program
again. This is reported to begin to-
morrow, although / do not know how
true this is. This is Sunday morning
and got up for breakfast. A soldier
gets only one morning per week to
sleep as late as he wishes and most of
the men are yet in bed at nine O'Clock.
We had the holiday yesterday and l
slept (or lay awake) until after elev-
en-. In fact | had made my bed and
was shaving when the bugle sounded
for dinner, and missed the soup line
by finishing my shave and wash, and
there was chicken soup (Campbells)
for dinner.
Some of the boys celebrated yes
terday's holiday by trip on the
Rhine. The Y. M. G. A. has trip
that starts at Nenweid and continues
above Coblenz. The boat starts at 8

we are glad the big show is over at

France is nothing but shell holes and
barbed wire entanglements.
The 124th Field Artillery made a
good rep. We were cited in the St.

did let the Boche have it, too.

TREMENDOUS JOB TO INCREASE
OUR PRODUCTION

In this emergency we have tried
to do our part, We secured the coun-
try for raw materials-our Traffic
Manager spent his days riding freight
cars in--we shipped raw materials in
car load lots by express and pleaded
with manufacturers to increase their
deliveries to us.
But it was slow process. Some of
our raw materials are produced only
in Japan-supplies in this country
were low and shipments required
three months to come from the Far
East. Then we had to recruit and
train skilled labor. We brought our
statesmen into the factory and trained
them as foremen. We invented new
machinery, and managed to install it
on Christmas day, so as not to inter-
fere with our daily production.

the drug trade that the shortage Of
Vick's VapoRub, which has lasted
since last October, is now overcome.
Since january 1st, we have been run

Last week we shipped the last of our
back orders, and retail druggists,
therefore, are no longer requested to
order in small quantities only.
NOVEMBER DEAL REINSTATED
This deal, which we had expected to
put on last November and which had
to be postponed on account of the
shortage of VapoRub, is reinstated for
the month of March. This allows a
discount of 10 per cent on shipments
from jobbers' stock of quantities of
from to gross. per cent of this
discount is allowed by the jobber and

THANKS OF THE PUBLIC DUE

The thanks of the American public
are certainly due the entire drug
trade-retail, wholesale and manufac-
turing-for what they accomplished
during the recent influenza epidemic.
The war caused shortage of physi-
cians--nurses were almost impossi-
BILE to obtain--the demand on the
drug trade was unexpected and over
whelming, and to this demand they
responded nobly. Retail druggists
kept open day and night and slept
During the influenza epidemic, Wick
