els since left home. First went
to Camp Pike where | stayed until
August 4th., and from there went to
Camp Merritt, N j., where we stay
ed one week and then boarded the
ship at Hoboken, N. j., for over

England, the 18th of August and
my company stayed in England 26
days. We hiked to South Hampton,
England, where we boarded the
ship to cross the English channel
into France. The channel was very
rough. and take it from me, some
of the boys were some sea sick, but
Wild Bill was not the least bit sick.
We landed at La Havre, France,
which is a big town and sea port,
and hiked to a port 8 miles out
The next day we left there for an
other camp ten miles out where
we stayed but a short time before
we were sent nearer the battle line.
We hiked to the place they call the
German Theatre" The Germans
captured the place in 1914, and
had been there all during the war
until about three weeks before | got
in the 77th division, but believe me,
the Americans got Mr.. German out
of the place--the Argonne Forrest.
This Forrest is Is miles wide and
rs miles long. The French had
been trying to retake the place for
four years. and did not succeed, and
they told the Americans that il
would take them two years to move
the Germans from the Argonne For
rest, but when the U. S. boys begin
to shell them they found out that
we were not the French. For three
weeks We u. S. boys had Mr.. Boche

Big Crowd In Town
First Monday.

II is generally conceded that the
crowd of last Monday was the big.
eest Lexington has had in a year
on First Mondays or at any other
time. The crowd was good natured,
sober (of course) and all sorts of
irade was at least fairly good,
Many who did not buy took a gen.
eral look around in the houses sell
ine farm implements and garden
tools.
The first Monday in March is
generally considered the greatest
stock display day in the year, but
this time the people seemed more
bent on buying mules than any
thing else and the jacks and stall
lions Oh exhibition were not notica-
bly, numerous.
Carl Orr, of WilderSville, with an
auctioneer and another helper or
two sold nineteen mules and a
horse at auction, while our own

We can, however, give steady work both to

order to do this we must move forward to the
farm some thousands of tractors that are or.

informs US that he had rather novel

The passenger coach in which he

we're travelling between Velva and
Balfour, four masked men suddenly
appeared and forced all passengers at
the point Of the gun to put up their
hands and stand out in the aisle,
where they were searched by the rob-
bcrs. All money, watches and val'l-
ablcs were taken from the passen

made 'Eeir escape by jumrinc sr:a

GEO. ROOSEVELT VISITS
THE FARM BUREAU

Geo. A. Roosevelt, assistant bio
logical survey of U. S. A., called on
County Agent Anderson the first Of
this week to check up the records
on the distribution Of free govern
ment poison. Mr.. Roosevelt states he
is very much pleased to find such de
allied reports of the results of the
work.
Mr.. Roosevelt is doubtful just how
much assistance he can give the state
in this work next year. The fund for
Free Gopher Poison the past year was
$12,000.00 for Montana. The amount
allowed for tie state for next year is
$2,500.00 aud it can readily be seen
how insufficient the $4,000 will be for
next year. However, Mr.. Roosevelt
has promised that every effort will be
put forth to increase the fund for next
years work.

Other prisoners told Us that they
saw things in the dark, which were
not there, and their friends thought
they were losing their minds. This
is the worst menace of the dungeons.
From this two weeks of cold and
darkness and scant food and bad air,
three of them were sentenced to walk
eight hours a day without coats, on
the windy shore. They were COM
pellcd to walk constantly, commanded
by guard with bayonet. They
were told they needed eexrcise to re-
store them so they could be returned
to the dungeons for fourteen more
days and nights.
All prisoners are supposed to be
protected by law from repeated pun
ishmcnt for the original offense. But
this supposed law does not protect
conscientious objectors. Each separate
refusal of military command may
be construed to be new crime, and
punished accordingly.
For instance, one Of the objectors
was ordered to attend singing school
at Alcatraz and to learn military
songs. On his refusal, he was put
into the dungeons and was taken Out
only when the repairs made it neces-
sary to empty all the cells in that
part of the prison.
Another prisoner was to be court.
| martialed the day after our visit, anc
his offense was recorded as "destroy.
ing food" He had hunger-struck
| and had hid the bread in his blankets
He was even then able to see the
kumor in a charge of destruction o1
food, based on hiding the piece he was
supposed to eat.
Turn the light on the dark places
and keep it turned on until prisoners
are treated as we'll as the humane so
cities insist dogs and horses shall b.
treated!
