MARCELLUS RI. CHlLES,
CAPTAIN, 356th Infantry.

Capt. Chiles was decorated for con-
spicuous bravery in action, which re-
suited in his death near LIE Champy
Bas, France, November 3, 1918. When
his battalion, of which he had just
taken command, was halted by ma
chine gun fire from the front and left
flank, Capt. Chiles picked up the rifle
of dead soldier and, calling on his
men to follow, led the advance across
a stream waist deep, in the face Of
the machine gun fire. Upon reach
ing the opposite bank, this gallant Off
Ger was seriously wounded in the alb
domen by sniper, but before permit
ting himself to be evacuated he made
complete arrangements for turning
over his command to the next senior
officer, and under the inspiration of
his fearless leadership his battalion
reached it's objective. Capt. Chiles
died shortly after reaching the hos
pita1. His home was at 2S15 West
Thirty-seventh street, Denver, Colo.

Beat These If You Can.

SacO, Me-, is acquiring fame for long
lived animals. A short time ago a
party discovered a cat in bag Of
grain bought the week previous, the
cat still having its nine lives, so far
as could be judged.
Now comes the story of Tax Collec-
tor Charles II. Innes, who lost a tur-
key, his prize bird, some eight weeks
agO-eight weeks. He says that the
other day, when pitching off some hay
from a high NOW, he discovered the
bird, which had become wedged be-
tween planks. The gObbler was alive,
thin as a turkey ghost, but able to dis
pose of a hot mash.
Turkeys are said to be hard to raise,
at least in this part of the country, but
Mr.. Innes claims an indeStructible
breed. His friends urge him to go into
the business and propagate such en-
during species.

all of them without the loss Of man.
Continuing on through the woods, he
led his men in attacking a battery of
$50 nm. howitzers which were in ac-
ton, rushing the position and captur-
ing the battery and its crew. In this
encounter Capt. MallOn personally at,
tackled one of the enemy with his fists.
Later when the party came upon two
more machine guns, this officer sent
men to the TANKS, while he rushed
forward directly in the face of the
fire and silenced the guns, being the
first one of the party to reach the
nest. The exceptional gallantry and
determination displayed by Capt. Nal.
Ion resulted in the capture of 100 pris-
oners, eleven machine guns, four 45O

gun. Capt. Mallon's home address is

ment of Agriculture.)
Sponging, cleaning and pressing will
make wearable many garment now
discarded as too shabby, suggest the
extension workers of the department
of agriculture. 1t is not bad idea to
estimate just how much money value
there is in an extra months wear of a
suit, coat or dress.
The following points, if followed,
will help to extend the length of wear
of dresses and other garments:
Sponging with hot vinegar Will make
the shiny part" of any garment less
noticeable.
Steaming velvet hat which has lost
It's freshness over the tea Kettle VIII
greatly improve its appearance.
Fresh collars and cuffs of white or
contrasting color will give suit or dress
new appearance.
When not In use hang outside gar
Eaents, well brushed, in suitable hang
ers away from dust.
Cotton covers put over the garments
on hangers will preserve the fresh
ress of waists, dresses and coats worn
only occasionally.
Wear practicable wash aprons while
81 work.
Secure buttons, fastenings, etc.. on
rsady1uade garments before wearing.

SAMUEL WooDFILL,
First Lieutenant, Company M, Goth
Infantry.

First Lieutenant, Company III, cOtn
Infantry.
Three acts of conspicuous daring in
one day near Cunel, France, October
II, 1918, won the Distinguished Serv-
ice Cross for Lieut.. WOodfill. While
he was leading his company against
the enemy his line came under heavy
machine gun fire, which threatened to
hold up the advance. Followed by
two soldiers at twenty-five yards. this
officer went out ahead of his first line
toward a machine gun nest and
worked his way around it's flank, leav-
ing the two soldiers in front. When
he got within ten yards sOf the gun
it ceased firing and four of the enemy
appeared, three of whom were shot
by Lieut.. Woodfll. The fourth, an
officer, rushed at Lieut.. Woodfill, who
attempted to club the officer with MS
rifle. After a hand-to-hand struggle,
Lieut.. Woodfll killed the officer with
his pistol. His company thereupon
continued to advance until shortly
efterward another machine gun nest
was encountered. Calling his men to
follow, Lieut.. Woodfill rushed ahead
of his line in the face of heavy fire
from the nest, and when several of
the enemy appeared above the nest
he shot them, capturing three other
members of the crew and silencing the
gun. A few minutes later this officer,
tor the third time, demonstrated con-
spicuous daring by charging another
machine gun position. killing five men
in one machine gun pit with his rifle.
He then drew his revolver and started
20 jump into the pit when two other
gunners only few yards away turned
their gun on him. Failing to kill them
with his revolver, he grabbed pick
lying near by and killed both of them.
Inspired by the exceptional courage
displayed by this officer, his men
pressed on to their objective under
severe shell and machine gun fire.
