CLAUDE kENNEY
TELLS OF HIS EXCITING EXPERT
: ENCES IN ARMY SERVICE
OVERSEAS.

John G.. Foley, the Pennington
township stockman, is in receipt of
an interesting letter from his friend,
Claude Kenney, formerly express
agent in Madison, who left his posi-
ton to join the colors. Claude, writ
ing from Guraural, France, a y in
part:
mine while we were back in reserve
one night. l was then acting as a
battalion runner, that is, carrying or
ders from headquarters to the differ
ent companies. This night was dark
and very quiet and / was about to
quit work at 8 p. m, when all at once
hell broke loose. The Germans had
someway found out we were moving
troops that night on a certain road
and they turned loose every gun they
had and caught us just exactly right.
The order came through for all u
companies to prepare for a gas at
tack and l took the order out. 1t
was sure some scene, but we were
lucky and got no shells very near us.
While in the front line as a sig
mailman | was out in an observation
post nights away from everybody. 1t
gives you a funny feeling, believe me
and 1 was always glad when norm
ing came so we could sneak back to
our dugouts. From this sector we
moved up near Metz and was already
to go over the top when the armistice
| was signed. IT IRE meant a lot to
us fellows who were e death many
times to think of it all being over.
We are now about so miles from
Verdun and do not know what our
next move is, whether it is toward
home or Germany. | hope not the
latter as we are most anxious to go
home and get out of this country.
am glad l came i've and would
not take a million for my experience
over here. Neither would / go
through it again for ten million and
only hope | get home safely now.

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PEG.
PIE OF SOUTH DAKOTA.

Pierre, March 13.-During the war
weN have given literally to many
worthy causes. There is but one
more Liberty loan to be met, 81 far
as we can now foresee. But the work
of reconstruction must go on. This
will demand continued giving for
some time to come. Liberty bonds
are investments, on which we will ul-
timately get back every dollar, plus a
fair rate of interest. Charity is diff
ferent. 1t is an investment in, broth
erhood, on which the human race is
knit together.
With the Armenians the Jews have
suffered terribly as a result of the
war, and they will continue to suffer
still more, unless speedy relief is
found. Three million of them are
standing in the breadline of the
kind and pleading for aims. to avoid
starvation. The Jews of America
have been generous in their contri-
! buttons, and in their blood sacrifices,
for the successful prosecution of the
war. They are Loyalty entitled to
help from all liberty loving peoples.
During the past year the govern
ment crop reports and the bank
clearings show that South Dakota has
again been the most favored state in
the union. This~wealth has been Civ.

ever, lock it up, but must redistri

Gen. Allenby's triumphant entry
into Jerusalem, just prior to the
signing of the armistice which
brought the world var to a conclu-
sion, and the restoration of the holy
city to the Jews, is the fulfillment of
prophecy. The march of destiny is
moving rapidly on. But in order to
fulfill their mission, as well as to ex-
list, the Jews must have help.

citizens to set aside Wednesday,

universal appeal. Crooks are as
old as the hills. Their ways are rlys-
terlous burying themselves during

the slums, venturing out at night,
like the providers Of the forests, al
ways on the scent of prey of some
kind. And their crackers. the wise
and shrewd plainclothesmen of the
big cities, always on the alert, and
ever watching. The old melodranas
of days gone by depicted all this in a
limited manner. But as produced by
the William Fox Film Corp, With
skilled directors and unlimited re-
sources for staging big productions,
"PitfalIs Of a Big City depicts a tale
of New Yorl1's slums and the alleys

TO SHOW MELODRAMA.

FltIaliS or a Big City, the famous
old melodrama, is coming to Fox S
next Monday. This is a story of the
underworld and it's people and moves
With a force and a sweep that can
not be resisted. It is interesting to
note that the scenario was read and
approved by several old New York
police reporters, men just about as
well acquainted with the underworld
as any outside of its denizens. AS Il
consequence of this expert attention
when the picture was only a. type
written manuscript: the finished pro-
duct appears as one of the most real
istic and effective photodramas of
this type that have ever been released
In pitfalls of a Big City, nothing
has been left undone to produce
scenes true to life. The darkest al
leys Of crime in big cities were hunt
ed out as settings. The annals of
crime were studied carefully. Slums
and criminal districts are reproduced
faithfully, thanks to this careful
study, and many Of the dark and dan

EOX'S THEATER.

EoA
Wallace Reid and Tom Mix are
rival stars at Fox's theater tonight.
Is money essential to happiness? This
Is a World-old question, but it is de-
Veloped from an entirely new angle
in TOO Many Millions" The hero
is first shown as a poor young book
agent. Wealthy skin1jnt uncles of
his suddenly die and leave him forty
million dollars. Then his troubles
start but after he loses the money
and finds the girl he loves, happi-
ness comes to him. Then with equal
suddenness, the money turns up a.
second time, and he is puzzled to
know whether to accept it or not.
TOO Many Millions has speed mys.
terry and strong romantic interest
and those who know Wallace Reid s
artistry, can be assured that he has
g, role that fits him like glove. He
is ably supported by Tully Marshall
remembered as the crooked LAWYER
in THE Man From Funeral Range"
Ora Carewe and other well known
Paramount players.
Tom Mix, in the latest Sunshine
comedy entitled tom and Jerry
Mix" injects a lot of speed into this
laughable IWo-reeler. Hard riding
snap shooting and some daredevil
tumbles make one wonder how Tom
Mix manages to remain sound in
limb during the course of some of his
pictures. Mutt & Jeff and the latest
Pathe News complete the film pro-
gram, and four acts of Fox vaude-
Vile make up the remainder Of the
show

THINGS ONE CAN MAKE
OUT OF NEWSPAPERS

(By MES. Louise II. PeCk) s.
Kindergarten lessons may be taught
with simple material found in every
home if only the mother possesses
with the play spirit the idea of work
ing toward perfection in every small
est thing. Never discourage any eff
fort, no matter how crude, but re-
mark: You have worked we'll and
next time your work will look even
better
If possible, do the work yourself
first, alone, so that you may explain
1T clearly when working with the
child. Never take d .child's work to
show him how to do it, Show him
with another piece. His work is
strictly his own.
The following suggestions are for
children of all ages, from 14-year-
olds to grown-ups, and 1t is much
more fun when different ages work
together. For our fun, we need only
flour or prepared paste, and The news
papers which have been folded care
fully away, waiting for us all this long
time.
Chains--Cut the white margins
from several newspapers, very straight
and all the same width Then cut
these in strips five inches long ali ex-
actly THE same length and with ends
cut straight Take one strip and. paste
ends evenly together to form a ring,
holding for a moment until the paste
catches. Slip another strip through
this ring, paste the ends as before.
and now we have two rings, one linked
within the other. Go on in this way
until a long chain has been made,
sometimes brown wrapping paper
strips may be alternated with the
White newspaper strips. Later, make
chains that will teach numbers-one
