Here is one of the "scrap- pinest" machine gunners ever turned out in any country. He is the sOn-in-law of our circuit clerk, Felix T. Whitted, of St. Francis county, and has fought in a number of the blOOdiest battles in France during the months of October and Novem- Der, 1918. At Verdun this soldier had one of his arms shattered by a bursting shell, then fol- lowed a period in the hospitals in France, after which he was returned to this country and is now in the hospital at F't. Nc
 Henry, Baltimore, Md, where
 new bone is being grafted into his arm and where he writes the army surgeons are patching him up in the hope that he will be as good as new in about ? years. In writing of his eXper- fences at Verdun this devil dog. from St. Francis county states "on the 3rd day of October the BO,heS made a cOuter attack. Our men were only about seven or eight hundred yards away. The dirty Dutch came ever in three waves. We pour ed hot lead into them point blank on a dead bead and we moved them down like black birds. Three successful times they came on, but each time we drove them back like hell the field was covered in dead Ger mans and the cries and m0urns of the wounded continued all night. We moved our guns that night about 10 o'clock and about 4 o'clock the next morn ing the Boches opened up on us with their artillery-guessed about where we were; then they gave us hell for what we had given them on the previous afternoon. l got mine about daylight when l was taken off the field, two other in my squad had been wounded. I am sure my gun got six Dutchmen. I could see them fall. l will have the use of my arm as soon as l can get the bone to grow back. You know bone treat ment takes a long time. It vii. take year to get good use Of it, or maybe two. I am going school in an auto garage here. Will learn gas and electric welding just as soon as I get the use of my hand bit"

BOOST IN RATES

mont Calling Attention to Unprsos-
dsntsd Price Increases While TeIe.
graph Rates Remained Unchanged
Western Union in Lead.

Washington. April 12.-In making
available today a statement in which
it gives figures upon which it based
the increase of telegraph rates the
wire control board directs attention to
the fact that while the increase in
price Of products and service in various
Industrial and mercantile corporations
have increased 100 per cent. telegraph
service has been rendered at pre-war
prices thruout period when industrial
and mercantile prices were unprece-
dented. "The increase Of 20 per cent
in telegraph rates." says the state
ment, Should be considered in COM
parison with the 100 per cent increase
in other prices. and it is less than that
found necessary to add to the railroad
freight rate and is no greater than has
been made generally in other public
utility rates in order to obviate fihan-
cial collapse"
Discussing q comparison Of the self
operations of the postal
company with the small proportional
earnings Of the Western Union, the
statement declares that during the six
months from August 1913 to January
1919. the postal carried only about one
sixth of the business Of the country
limited to profitable fields, while. the
Western Union carried five-eighths Of
the business much Of which extended
into fields less profitable but which
gave a service necessary to maintain
the requirements OF the public.

Iowa house judiciary committees de-
cislon to recommend his IMPEACHMENT,
charged that "the entire matter Is

had no fear of the outcome"
THE committees decision is not
based solely on the pardon of Ernest

fight on me on general principles, on
matters, quite outside the pardoning
controversy.
II granted the pardon in the regular
way. fully within the law as has been
developed tn 2roushly In the commit :
tee hearings. Now my political op-
ponents are using the pardon matter
rs a veil for their own designs.
But am OF discouraged in the
least. Letters and kilograms are pour
ing into my office from all parts OF
the state telling me to stand pat that
there is nothing to 1t except a polit-
lea! attack. and urging mo to stay IN
