FROM BOYS OVERSEAS
Villas County Yanks in France
and Germany Talk to the
Folks at Home.

The Villas county boys who are
now in France and Germany, on
the seas coming home, and in
hospitals in the United States,
certainly can tell wondrous and
thrilling stories when the oppor-
tune time arrives-and that is
when they come home. Several
of our boys are on their way
home add some are already in
United States hospitals.
You can best visit with these
Yanks by reading the following
extracts from letters but recently
received:
sERGT. CHAs. PUCKETT.
Writes from Lemons, France,
as follows:
1t is good to get news from home.

both here. Also plenty of coolies
too. Some are so old and have been
in the trenches so long that they are
wearing wound and service stripes.
If the folks back home give any
money for the boys over here, tell
them not to forget the Salvation
Army, as they were the only ones
that came right up in the front lines.
Your money was no good with them
they were for the boys all the time.

Where did you say you are
from?" Back came the answer:
"Me, I'm from Eagle River"
From then on James Hayden
and Rev. Davies were the star
actors in a talkfest concerning
the iii old home town, and it
was a mighty pleased navy lad
to meet some one from home.
Jimmy is making good, like,
wise Arthur Roderick, who, at
the time Mr.. Davies was there,
could not be located on the
grounds.

PRT. EMIL PRICE.

Emil was like Sheridan He
was twenty miles away from the
front line when the armistice
was signed. However, let linn
tell 1T to you:
We were twenty miles from the front
line where the Yanks were lighting at
the time the armistice was signed
We could hear the big gnns booming
as soon as we arrived here, and they
sure did ''boom" until the last min
ute, At night we could hear them
better than in the daytime, and it was
one continual roar all the time The
last twentyfour hours was the
tiercest. The evening of the 10th the
sky was like day all along the whole
front.
/ have been up to the front where
they were fighting last, and the Yanks
sure did tear things up right. I have
seen the Hindenberg line and it is all
shot to pieces. Such mess | never
saw in all my life. 1t is something
worth seeing and something one will
never forget. The Yanks have left
a permanent trade mark and the Ger
mans will never get over hearing the
noise.

PRT. LESTER PATTEN.

Lester writes from Bertrange,
Germany. Is with the 31Oth
Engineers. His most thrilling
experience was being chased from
his bath by German bombing
plane.
l didn't get a chance to go over the
top, but tried to do my bit in the
place | was assigned in this mans
army. Being with the engineers l
have been pretty lucky, altho there
were times when / was near where the
shells were falling, and we had plenty
OF hardships.
Our division was broken up when
we reached England -part going to
France and the other part to Russia.
Half of our Engineer regiment went
there. Our different units here in
France were replacement units and OF
course got scattered all over. In this
way our division probably will not
receive much credit for their part in
the war, being swallowed up by the
numerous other divisions.
Was at Monilly on the ST. Miheil
salient on the morning of September
18th. While at Mon tharion was
taking bath in the river by moon
light and got chased out by German
bonn bling plane. I had to put my
clothes on under wagon % they
couldn't see my white skin. Arrived
in the Argonne forest the goth where
there was heavy fighting. At Avo-
court we had bad road to build up
so that the wounded could be carried
back. There were she'll holes twenty
feet deep in the road. While there |
saw 10 battle planes in the air at
one time.
We have been travelling with the
army and am now at Berthrange,
Germany.

places and came out without scratch.
But had some very close calls. Once
while hauling shells seven German
planes swooped down on us and start

They failed to get us. But you bet

MUCH SURPRISED COB
Rev. Davies Puts One Over
on James Hayden on His
Visit at Hampton Roads
Last Week.

The happiest sailor boy one
could wish to see was James
Hayden of Eagle River. when he
ran across Rev. Davies at Hamp.
ton Roads. Va, a week ago.
And the pleasure was mutual be-
tween Mr.. Davies and Hayden,
at that.
Rev. Davies had been visiting
his son Billy at Portsmouth, Va,
and went to Hampton Roads to
see some of our battleships and
cruisers. While there he asked
an officer it there were any Wis
consin boys in service and it he
could visit them. A scout was
sent out by the officer and about
a dozen Wisconsin "gobs" were
rounded up. Rev. Davies was
soon surrounded by a bunch OF
enthusiastic but homesick boys.
When he asked them where they
were from they replied: Amigo;
| am from Crandon and know
the Johnsons at Phelps; me from
Wausau;" and so on down the
line.
Finally he noticed a snappy
and smiling COB standing at his
elbow and he put the questions

THERE WILL BE NO JURY
Circuit Judge Reid Instructs
Clerk Jury Will Not Be
Called Next Term of Court
in Villas.

Announcement has been made
to each of the jurors drawn for
the coming term Of circuit court
in Villas county that there will
be no jury cases, and therefore
their services will not be needed
at this term.
Villas county has had a won
derfullv good record for the past
dozen years, there having been
not more than three luries used
in that time at all terms of court.
When you remember that two
terms of court are held each year
and they generally being jury
less ones, it doesn't speak very
poorly for the county of the Big
Dairy Dollar and bumper crops,
and the region where Nature has
included one of the most perfect
Fairgrounds to be found the
world over.
We seem to be doubly blessed
with all the good things, and
with some bad-like few pro-
Germans and luke warm Ameri-
cans who have done their bit,
and are still doing it, against
the best nation on earth.
Two things we should do. Kill
off the traitors and still be good
and need no juries.
