"Is the Corn Sheued''
An Old Story Put to Work

1t seems from the continued
rains we have been having this
spring that we are going to
again have to depend less on
cotton and more on corn for OR
prosperity this year.
If we will learn to market this
corn to the best advantage it will
add very materially to this pros
perity. Let me again make the
statement that the best market
for your corn is right on the
farm, in the person of the light
shotes that are being shipped
out by the car load. When
properly fed and balanced with
cotton seed meal it will bring
we'll over three dollars a busheI.
Farmers are proving this all
over the state. The self feeder
is the best method of feeding the
corn but the draw back to this
with most farmers is the fact
that the corn must be shelled.
Mr.. Lloyd is one of our farmers
who has solved this problem by
building a feeding floor of ce-
ment with a crib BY it so thatI

The Tank Here

A real battle tank made it's
appearance here last Sunday and
showed the people how a travel

tank was driven by Corporal

The Johnston Russell Debate

As had been arranged Oscar
Johnston and Lee Russell, can
didates for Governor, met here
Monday in what was the first
real joint debate Of the canvass.
Mr.. Johnston spoke first using
about an hour and a half and
Nas followed by Mr.. Russell
nth Is minutes more time.
Johnston then had 30 minutes
and Russell 10. Both candidates
we're in good voice and physique
and easily made themselves
heard by the large crowd
present.
Mr., Johnston played upon his
record as a legislator, claiming
credit for much of the construc-
tive legislation enacted during
the last IL years. He also paid
his respects to Mr.. Russell for
his alleged sins of omission and
commission, and claimed to be
the candidate of no faction click
or clan.
Mr. Russell claimed that he
had already qualified for the
place by reason of his election to
his present place. He acknow-
Iedged his factional connections
and claimed that all should hold |
to a factional lineup and made
strong plea to that end. He
went after Mr.. Johnston because
Of some of his past associates
and present friends as we'll as

made little of the race of Mr..
Collins and went after Mr.. Longi-
no without gloves for some of
his words and deeds.
Between the two the honors
were pretty evenly divided.

instC aAored more times than
did Mr.. Russell and apparently
received less criticism. AS to
supporters present, there was
little difference in number so
far as we were able to Judge I
from the demonstrations made. :
But it was plain to see that there /
were "other pebbles on the !

he even permitted some American

Reds Very Courteous.
On the railroad front and the
Kadish front, several conferences
were held with the Bolo in relation
to the exchange of prisoners-and
he was always courteous. Each time
he brought along a bunch of printed
propaganda. which heNasked to have
distributed among the troops. At
one time he captured British chap

our lines after few days.
, 1t must be remembered that these
men were the fighting men of boil
shevik Russia, cursed with the false
ideals pictured to them by the
bloody octopus at Moscow.
The least that can be said OF the
Americans in North Russia is:

saw more real action than the ma

Transportation Very Poor.
The forces in north Russia had
no transport of their own. Civilian
Russians had to be hired. There
were no good roads-nothing but
mere trails through the woods. In
the fall, when it rained incessantly,
many of these trails were prac-
tically impossible. Horses and feed
were scarce, and the Russian con-
veyances very primitive. The small
Siberian ponies often dropped dead
on the road from shere starvation,

Formerly First Lieutenant. Company !.
S33th Infantry. American Forces in Russia.
Having been defeated on all
fronts, the bolsheviki seemed con-
tent to take it easy, and the Ameri-
cans were in no engagements after
May |. By this time some 50
companies of Russians had been
organized and brigade Of
British troops had arrived, and
the American tr9ops were re-
Iieved during the month OF May
Thus ended nine months of guerrilla
warfare for the Americans-nine
months of constant fighting and
hardships-and the respite, so long
looked for, was at hand.
OF course, this is only general
ization of the operations. Space
does not permit detailed descrip-
ton OF the minor engagements. or
even mention, though each had
their individual significance to the
whole campaign.
While speaking of the campaign,
] wish to say few words for the
s10th engineers. They were scat
tered everywhere over this vast
northern front. They built block
houses and bridges and barracks.
They dug trenches and strung barb,
ed wire; they repaired. engines and
operated sawmills; they were on all
fronts, doing a hundred and one
odd jobs to help out the infantry;
Yes, and they fought, too-dropped
their tools as they had done at
Cambria in France, and fought with
rifle side by side with the doughboy.

thick and the communication so
poor that one could not get hold of
it. We appealed frantically to our
"titular' commander at Archangel,
but got no encouragement or &C
ton. In fact our commander was on
our front not over two times during
the entire nine months fighting. The
men were very skeptical as to
whether or not he really had much
interest in what was going on. |
Just want to cite one instance of the
way things worked out An Off

in north Russia struck snag. He
had been accustomed to the Ample
American ration. and the British ra-
ton didn't appeal to him or satisfy
him even when he got it all, which
was very seldom during the first few
months. In September we never
got sufficient to eat. The men were
always hungry, and they could buy
nothing. We got bully beef. hard
tack and tea in small quantities
three times a day. A company
would get perhaps quarter OF beef
once a week, and maybe enough
jam and bread for one meal day,
but it was impossible to get enough
to feed the men what they needed
to combat the sever climatic condi-
tons and continued exposures. They
complained pittifully of constant
hunger.

better. We received some rice and

All operations were conducted by
the English, even on fronts where
they had no troops actually fight
ing. | do not mean that American
officers were deprived of their COM
mands, but they were always sub
ordinated to British officers. The
British controlled the policy toward
the civilian population, the transport,
the cable, the censorship, the food
supplies-everything. Even the sta
tionery used by the Americans bore
the imperial crown, and the envel-
opes bore across the face in bold
black letters "On His Majesty's Ser
vice" Communicates received from
the British were at times labeled to
The Kings Own 339th." No Won
der the troops often joked about be-
ing a part Of the kings army.
AS the English controlled the
cables and censorships. they let out
only such news and reports as they
saw fit, and told the troops just such
news as they wanted the troops to
know.
Have Plenty OF Clothes.
Even in the Arctic circle, the
Yanks never had any kick coming
about clothing. There was plenty
of it, and where there was suffering
it was more on account of the lack
of transport than of supply. The
clothing was designed by Sir Ernest
Shakelton, the Antarctic explorer,
and consisted of the Shakleton boot,
heavy fur coats and cans, lumber
mans sox, leather vests, mitts, snow
goggles. sleeping bags, skis, snow
shoes, mufflers, sweaters. etc.
The worst thing we had to con-
tend with for a long time was the
inability to get proper fighting
equipment When we first hit the
front line all we had was the Rus
sian rife. Finally we got hold of
a couple of Lewis guns per COM
pany. A French major stated it
was disgrace the way we were
equipped, and he gave us some
Chauchat automatics, some French
rifles and tromblons, and some rifle
and hand grenadcs. We had no
men trained to operate them, but a
little thing like that didn't matter
when our lives were at stake. There
seemed to be plenty of equipment at

Bv HENRIETTA M. REEFS.

I'M outstanding feature Of the
week from musical standpoint
Il was the appearance of Clarence
Eddy in two organ recitals at the
Kountze Memorial church. This
church has long been noted for its
excellent choir under the direction Of
Mr.. John Helgren and the new
organ which Mr.. Eddy dedicated
will be a valuable additional asset
in the beauty of its services. The
importance of the organ in the max
ing or marring of an otherwise beau
tiful religious service is being felt
more and more keenly by the pro-
gressive churches of the present day.
This is partly due to the many re-
cent improvements in the Coastruc-
ton of organs which not Only make
them easier to play, but of wider
tonal possibility both as accompany
ing or solo instruments. 1t is also
perhaps due to a certain extent to
the fact that recently in many
churches the minister and choir
master are cooperating more closely
in order that the result will be an
entire we'll balanced service and not
two separate and distinct portions
of a service, one perhaps good, the
other poor.
The organ through its improve
ments is becoming more and more
a concert instrument, and when
churches which possess these Won
derful instruments, generously open
their doors in order that the general
public may have the opportunity of
hearing them purely from musical
standpoint, they are usually re-
warded with packed auditoriums.
Many of the greatest musical
masterpieces are contained in organ
literature, and familiarity and ap-
probation of these can only be
gained by hearing them under favor
able circumstances.
Mr.. Eddy has long held an en-
viable place not only nationally, but
internationally among organists. For
many years he has toured both in
this country and elsewhere as a
concert organist. He has recently
made a five-year engagement as
head of the organ department of the
Chicago Musical college, with free
dom to concertize as much as he
desires. This brings Mr.. Eddy back
from the Pacific coast to head
quarters in the middle west.

The coming of the Chicago Opera
company to Omaha is always an
event Of musical importance. This
year the dates chosen are October
20 and II, and the operas to be pre-
sented are Aida" and La Boheme."
Both of these operas have endured
the test of time and familiarity. The
more familiar one becomes with the
music of opera, the more one en-
joEN the diverse beauties OF it.

work among the civilian population
throughout the occupied territory.
They also furnished many comforts
to the man. and made frequent is
sues of food whenever it was pos
sble.
Reds Well Equipped.
The Bolo had better fighting
equipment than the allies, and more
Of it. He always had a vast SUI
periority of machine guns and ar
tillery, and he knew how to use
them. He had observation balloons
and one Founders, pom poms" and
grenades. howitzers and ARCHES"
He had plenty of airplanes, but few
good aviators. John Bolo never
went on a patrol without stringing
telephone wire. Telephones seemed
to be one of his hobbies.
Eighty per cent of the ammuni-
ton he threw at us bore the ~.
S" mark. He even had Browning
machine guns; at least he left be-
hind after one fight, some Brown
ing gun barrels.
If there is an impression that the
Russian is not fighter, let me cor
rect it at once. When men march
in lines in the face of machine guns,
counting their steps as they ad-
vance, and when they keep coming
after line upon line has been wiped
out. they have courage. The Bolo,
for the most part, fought hard and
exceedingly we'll. At other times he
fought only passively. Prisoners
told of the starvation, disease and
turmoil in interior Russia, that they
were forced to fight; that they were
forcibly taken from their families
and pushed into the army; that their
wives and children could get food
only if the bread winner served in
the Red army. The army got the
best of everything. the non-combat-
ants scarcely anything. have
wished a thousand times that those
in this country who have listened
to or read bolsheyik propaganda
could talk for a few moments with
these starved Russians who had
been subjected to the RED terror. "
The Black Sea sailors we're cruel
and merciless fighters. They gave
no quarter and asked none. They
plundered and mutilated, and even
fought among themselves. The
Let's were also hard fighters. Ger
man leaders might have led some
of the bolshevik army, but not on
the front we were on. On the river
fronts there we're some international
regiments, composed of Chinese,
ex-Siberian political prisoners and
bolsheviks from other countries.
On these fronts prisoners were tor
tured and mutiIated during the first
part of the campaign. Moscow and
Petrograd regiments had many boys
in them, and were less disciplined
than the other troops. Many of
them deserted and came into our
lines.
The Bolo didn't seem to enter
tain any great hatred toward the
