YE BULL THAT WAS;
NOW BULLY BEEF

The big black bull, the bull that
caused all the fuss down in Tony
Schuster's pasture last week, is now
being packed away into cans at Chi
cago. Or possibly they will use his
blood for Bovril!
Parke Gelbach came in from the
farm Tuesday and assumed charge
Parke is foolish like a fox and in
stead of going after his Highness
barehanded, went a horseback into
the pasture. The bull was driven in
to Dan Curtis stable and then Dick
Willis, another fox when it comes to
critters, had him tied up. Ropes were
dropped around the beasts legs and
pulled tight. Dick also arranged a
cute little harness such as they have
out in Dakota where tanning cattle is
a daily affair
Five men on ropes and a halter
worked we'll until darkey was spied
on the Beetown road. The bull made
for the coon and the coon shouted, 81
amt too proud to rum" and made for
dear life down the street. Then the
bull was diverted from his dark OBJ
ject and the procession headed by
COWS as decoys, went onward toward
the stockyards. Joe Mccoy said to
put him in the car without delay and
there he went.
Joe says he made little on him.

hung across the Mississippi river
from Prairie du CHEN to McGregor,
on the Iowa side. The line will car
ry current from Galena, Ill, to Wis

The west end of the cable over the
river is anchored on an Iowa hill 800
feet above the water. On an island
IN mid-channel stands 125 foot

top to the tower will span $500 feet.
The line is carried over islands and
sloughs to the Wisconsin mainland
south of Prairie du CHEN, thence ov-

completed, in about two weeks, south
western Wisconsin and northeastern
Iowa will receive light and power
from two sources, the Upper Iowa

FROM j. O. SHATTUCK.

Paris, France, Feb. &c, 1919.
Dear Mother
Today it is just like spring in old
U. S. A., warm and the sun and breeze
is great. Makes q fellow sort of home
sick and | am sure that way lately.
am not an exception at all as that
is the general feeling in the whole
A. E. f. The relaxation after so
many months of hard life and fight
ing in the lines. When it is over the
one cry it home and quick I wish
profiteers and politics would stay
away and lay off Of things until we
get back and believe me some Of
them will have to pay if they have
gone too far. Because the A. E. F. is
different body of men than when
we left. They believe in straight
shooting and a square deal and ev-
erything done up and above the table.
And it is no more than just.
| see where the senate and house
are trying to pass G bill stopping the
wearing of the service stripes and
wound chevrons, and all other dis
tlngulshing marks from the return
ing soldiers. Wrong. [ believe the
boys who have given all and went
through all of this over here ought
to get credit and honor, also those at
home but of different kind And if
a soldier over here likes anything at
all its his overseas cap and service
and wound chevrons and if he can
not wear them there will be some
thing popping all over this A. E. F.
outfit. Because they have earned
them by SO many months of horror
and hard times. But they all love
the old U. S. A. more every day and
right or wrong they are with her, as
they have shown you. But I cannot
worry about that now; the main
thing is | want to get back soon.
| am feeling better than ever and
while l have to stay over here for a
short while l am seeing all can
and trying to broaden out into a little
foreign education. And also the use
of the American language which I
been parleying this lingo over here.
From time to time small punches
are leaving here for duty at Wash
ington laboratories for three months
as a minimum but I desire to do all
my service in the army over here and
when | return it will be with a dis
charge which / hone will not be long.
really expect by the last of March to
be on my way over and home some
time in April. 1 don't bank on it but
1 believe it.
Well mother I must close for now
and get busy on the job. Will write
often so will tell you the rest then.
Take good care of yourself and don't
worry about your healthy son. And
save that white tablecloth and the
fat duck or chicken and watch nv
smoke.
With love, your son,
j. O. Shattuck.
