Up in the Argonne one night the
 Germans were dropping high-explo- sive shells, shrapnel and gas shells in punches at a certain point. They were falling about the way leaves fall from a tree in autumn. A num- Der of American soldiers had taken refuge in dugout to wait until this particular strafe by Fritz should be over, and along came an Alabama mule-skinner, driving four mules with. load of supplies up front. He was leaning back in one corner of the seat, smoking cob pipe and flicking the mules now and then with his whip. He wasn't in hurry, nor was he paying any attention to the shells that were popping all around.

sense of value. After the tumult and the shouting of the home-com. ing shall have died, the eyes o1 America will be turned, first of all toward those members of the A. E. F. who have buckled down to work and made good as citizens even as they made good as soldiers. For them will be the real respect of the nation they served.
 That being the case, it will hard ly avail any man who has been se- eretly counting on it to play the professional old soldier when he gets back home. While the fact that he served when he did, where he did will always be help and a joy tc him and to his country, it will never take the place of the work yet te be done.

A French barber at Chaumont, where the American General Head quarters was, was much pleased over the sudden increase in patron age of his shop and desired to greet his American customers in their na- tive language. A couple of dough- boys volunteered to teach him few phrases of American and worked with him assiduously for two days Then they assured the barber that ha was in possession of a greeting that would warm the hearts of his Ameri. can customers.

THE TANKS TAUGHT HIM

The barber came into his shop next morning. There was a line of customers waiting, headed by a very dignified American colonel who wanted haircut, and needed it too The barber put on his apron, fixed his implements on his shelf and then turned to the colonel.
 With graceful wave of his hand the barber said: "You are next, you bone-headed cootie-chaser!"-(Sa (Satur day Evening Post

MOVIE SHOWS FOR
 WOUNDED SOLDIERS

Moving pictures have followed the soldiers to the trenches and to many out-of- f-the-ordinary places, but it remained for a hospital in Cam bridge, Eng, to provide "bathtub' movies shows. It shows room full of wounded soldiers, immersed to their waists in water, watching a wild-west cinema. A continuous flow of water has been found very suc- cessful in healing septic wounds, so the men stay almost constantly in their bathtubs.

SHES A BEAR"

He was driving the mules up to the Front, and apparently the job was no more to him than driving them along an Alabama road.
 A young soldier stuck his head out of the dugout and yelled:
 "Say, Alabam, what do you think of the war;"
 The Alabaman pulled up the mules, took his pipe out of his mouth, lean ed leisurely over and replied "What's that? I didn't git ye." . . "What do you think of the war!' The mule-skinner spat thoughtfully into the road, scratched his head gathered up his reins, flicked his mules with the whip and answered "She's a bear. Giddap!"-(Saturday Evening Post.)

A telegraph operator sitting on his porch one evening, was astonished when his trained ear called his at tention to a series of dots and dashes formed by the staccato crashes of a steam hammer, one of a battery operating in a forging plant just across the Delaware river from his home.

HER BROKEN HEART

She was an icorrigible flirt, and she was married. Therefore she deemed it quite safe to say pretty things to the handsome captain by her side.
 "I suppose" she remarked, "you've broken many a woman's heart?"
 "Only one," replied he. "And that was many, many years ago.
 She scented romance.
 "Well, several years ago I had oc- casion to journey up north. My only ment was a very prety girl. We rode on for many hours together, and no one else entered the carriage"

PRIVATE JESSE GRAIN
 WRITES FROM GERMANY
DEAR MOTHER:-

DEAR MOTHER:-
 I received letter from you dated Dec. 16th, the first letter that had from you since last August. l was indeed, glad to learn that you folks were all we'll and still living for l was afraid that the influenza might have claimed some of you among the thousands that it swept off their feet never to rise again. l can rest now with lighter heart than could only a few days ago. 1 had two at tacks of the "flu," but managed to pull thru in few days from both cases. 1 don't believe that influ- enza gave the people of France as much trouble as it did the people of England. I suppose it hit the States the hardest blow of any country. I was indeed, sorry to learn of the boys deaths that occurred in King man and Oatman, for 1 have known those boys for such a long time, that it seems like some of the family being called to the great beyond.
 This part of Germany, the only part that I have seen, seems to be rather healthy climate, as for my part I would rather be here than in France. Down where I was for so long, it rained continually all the time, and person staying there would gradually grow webb-footed, ii they stayed there long enough, but I hope that we won't be over on this side of the pond much longer, for there isn't any part of this country that looks one-tenth as good to me | as the goold old U. s. A.
 It is. indeed queer that Quincy has not written you before now, he should know that you are uneasy about him. I suppose he is still alive, or you would have been noti- fled of his death. The division that he came over with never was on the front, although a good many men were taken out of that Division for .replacements for other divisions, so it is possible that the kid was never on the front. Mrs. Carlson is still in Miami, Box 1886. It is funny that she doesn't get your leters, nor you hers. Tell the kids hello, and that hope to be back to the good old U. s. A. soon, if not sooner. With love to all, YOUR SON. Pvt. Jesse Grain

to feel proud Of the splendid showing
made by its livestock exhibits at the
fall and the success achieved more re.
Gently at the American Royal Livestock

world
The animals exhibited by the College
at these shows were practically all bred,
reared, and fitted for the shows at the
college farm under the supervision of
Professor w. L. Blizzard, acting head
Of the Department Of Animal Husbandry

lent character Of the work that IS being
done by this department Of the college.
Notwithstanding the severe competi-
ton encountered at Kansas City and
Chicago, the exhibits from the College
maintained the winning record gained
at the state fairs, and brought home
many additional honors and more than
81 10000 in cash prizes, bringing the
grand total Of winnings for the year to
over 81 100000.
