BACK WITH lllTH
LAND IN STATES

This morning shortly after eight
bells, whirlwind came right in at
the front door of the Daily Express,
That is, at first it was thought to
be whirlwind or a young cyclone
or something, but after it had
settled down a little, it was seen
to be Mrs. Zella Stoddard Baird.
In her hand she held a telegram.
She started to talk-missed a cou-
pie of times like a flivver on a
cold morning, and then stammered
"M-my husbands home" She waved
the telegram to prove it.
News was received yesterday
morning by Mr.. and Mrs. e. S.
Burney, that their sons, Overton and
Joe landed yesterday at Newport
News with the 111th ammunition
train from France. This morning
Mrs. Baird received a message that
her husband, Bernard Baird, had ar
rived with the same outfit. All three
statde the boys expect to
be home soon.

Mrs. w. II. Russell, who lives
about two and a half miles east
OF Cement, just across the line
in Grady county, having con-
structed a nice little dwelling,
decided she would have a water
well right at her back door The
necessary arrangements were
made and a driller started work.
After a while he quit work,
folded up" his tools and depart

so feet deep the flow of gas be-
came so strong it was evident
that the water from that well
would be useless. The well was
capped, one inch pipe attach
ed and Mrs. Russell is now max
ing plans to have her house
piped and to use the gas for
fuel and lights. There is gas
in sufficient quantities to do
this. When a match is applied
to the pipe. a flame several feet
high is the result. and it con-
tinues to burn until smothered.
