Chester Hanson Has Ex-
citing War Experience

CAaCSlCA 11dASOu dTi1VeU mere last
Friday to spend few days visiting
with his brother, Henry NJ. Hanson.
Since his return from France few
weeks ago, he has visited with his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Hanson, in
Newfolden. He has had an exciting
military experience and went over the
top.
Chester Joined the army in North
Dakota and left for overseas on Nav
2, 1918, arriving in England May 16,
and in France May 20. He, with other
Americans were first brigaded with the
British for about two weeks in Elan
ders, within hearing of the big guns, a
time which he refers to as hell and
privatiOn. From there he was trans
ferred to the American sector in Alsace.
He went into the trenches July 31st
and stayed until Sept LIST, when he was
transferred to the St. Mihiel sector,
acting as reserve from Sept. II to Is,
when that sector was occupied by the
Americans after little resistance. From
there he was transferred to- the
ArgOnne forest, where he went into the
battle on the night of Sept. 25th and
went over the top on the morning of
the Goth. He stayed in this fight six
days or until Oct. End, there being
severe fighting every day and heavy
casualties. He saw men falling to the
right and left of him, some shot in
two, some with heads shot off, and
others with arms or legs torn, or other
wise horribly mutilated. But all went
into the battle cheerfully, resolved to
win or die. After the drive the casual
ties had reduced the division to one
third Of it's original strength. OF 243
men Of his company who went into the
fight only 80 came out. Fourteen were
instantly killed, the others being severe
" wounded or gassed. After a short
rest Mr. Hanson went into trench
sector above Verdun on Oct. 26, stay
ing there until Nov. 9Th, when his d.
vision moved toward Metz, with a view
of attacking that German stronghold,
when the armistice was signed. After
the armistice, he spent the time in
several French towns and on April Is,
he with 5000 soldiers boarded the Ger
man freighter Nansemond for the
United States, where he landed at New
port News on April 28th. He received
his discharge at Camp Dodge on May
18th.
Mr.. Hanson has been offered his
former position in the bank at Plaza,
N. D., and other offers have also come
to him, but he has not yet decided as to
what work he will take up in the i'm
mediate future.

awaiting the arrival Of a taxicab Or
dered in time 10 catch an evening train
for the South. Both were somber-
faced and wearied of mien. They had
not spoken for some time, for it was a
situation where words meant nothing.
The wife never lifted her tear-stained
eyes, the husband wore a set express
sion upon his face as though exerting
the utmost will power to repreSs the
poignant emotion which consumeAhim.
Without, joyous shouts echoed, the
sound of merry sleigh bells tinctured
the air with Christmas eve fervor, and
the contrast Of this long-anticipated
holiday presentation with what they
had hoped and planned for, wrenched
their souls to the point of anguish.
Their lives deSolated beyond repair,
poignant memories ever present, they
scarce dared to rest their glance upon
the portraits of two smiling, happy
faces looking down from a heavily
framed picture, for only that morning
they had received the terrible news
that the originals, their only chill
dren, Don, aged six, and Eta, two
years his junior, had been victims,
with many others, of a disaster by
cyclone and flood that had devastated
the district where they had their win.
ter home in Florida.
All they knew was that the pretty
bungalow and many others, with their
occupants, had been swept away, and
hundreds were said to have persisted,
and no word had been received as to
the fate of their two little ones, nor Of
Rhoda Marsh, who had them in charge.
Rhoda Marsh had come into their
thoughts almost as frequently as little
Eta and her brother. Each recalled
that il was a Christmas eve four years

back when Harold Bruce had come
home from the funeral Of his mother,
bringing with him a wis~tful-eyed, sad
faced mite of a girl.

Rhoda Marsh, a poor orphan child
whom my mother adopted, who has
given her the tenderest care to the las.
hour of her life and was a blessing TO
her old age. She is left without o
home. Should we give her one?"
"We should, and we SHALL" came the
quick reply, as Mrs. Bruce gazed into
the earnest, longing eyes of the girl of
fourteen, and read there truth and in
nocence and a soulful appeal to all
that was maternal and sympathlzing
in her nature.
It proved to be a wise and fortuitous
choice. AS the children came along
Rhoda proved to them a true and low.
ing sister, nurse and friend.
Then came a test Of the fidelity and
s~elf-sacrifice Of the girl just merging
into young womanhood. Both of the
children were taken down with a dan
gerous contagious malady. The house
was quarantined. Rhoda braved the
perils of infection. Day and night she
was the constant attendant Of Don
and Eta. She found so sure a loving
place in the hearts of those she had
benefited, that her eyes beamed with
Joy and happiness whenever she was

genuine fervor In his tones, "she Is q

my wife and myself realize what we
owe to this poor waif who has en-.
deared herself to us as though she
were our own daughter"
Doctor Merritt proved his expressed
sentiments by very often visiting the
Bruce home after that. The children
loved him and he would drop In for an
hour or two and play with them and
talk with Rhoda and listen to her sing

BORROW COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
The End of the World

We wonder if there really is any
use of writing this. Will there be
anyone left on earth to read these
lines and will these lines be destroy
ed before they have been circulated
in print If We are to take the
word Of Prof. Albert F. Porta, the
noted American astronomer and
weather prognosticator, there won't
be much left of this old world after
Wednesday, December II, so you
See there is really nc need of US tell
ing you all this, for you won't be
here to read it.
According to Prof. Porta, the old
earth is due for a knock out wallop,
which will turn it icy cold and shaky,
followed by a white heat finish.
This prediction is based on certain
astronomical observations which
place certain planets in certain po-
SitionS, and the end of the world,
which has been predicted many times
before, will come to pass.
Says Professor Porta, the world
is coming to an end about the middle
of this month. The most terrific
weather cataclysm experienced since
human history began he declares,
will be caused by the hugeS sun
spots on record a sun spot that will
be visible to the naked eye. 1t will
be a gigantic explosion of flaming
gases leaping hundreds of thousands
of miles in space. 1t will have a
crater large enough to engulf the
earth as Vesuvius might engulf a
foot ball.
There will be hurricanes, Tighten
ing, colossal rains. There will be
gigantic eruptions, great earth
quakes, to say nothing of flood and
fearful cold"
Other astronomers have refuted
Professor Portals contentious. In
any event, Heppner people are going
right along with their Christmas
shopping as serenity as though moth
ing unusual is on the way. They
figure there is just about as much
chance of the world coming to an end
right now as there is for a settlement
Of the peace treaty or a reduction

The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1919-12-18

The open season for political
cunning is upon us. Every aspirant
should watch his tongue and keep
it bridled. If he ever wishes to say
that somebody has ~purloined his
pet phrases, let him count ten and
a hundred tens if necessary in order
to keep it unuttered.
John Dennis, a critic and author
of London, failed to count ten. YER
lily he is not remembered now for
what he wrote but for the remark he
made a hundred years ago while an
gered. He wanted fame, but he
achieved a cheap notoriety.
The only successful feature Of his
play, "Appius and Virginia" was a
particularly able imitation of the
sound of thunder. Dennis himself
had invented the mechanism.
A few nights after the discontin-
uance of the tragedy the same actors
appeared in Shakespeare's Mac
beth" in which they used the thun-
d~er-making device. Immediately
upon hearing the noise, Dennis arose
from his seat in the pit Of the theater
and angrily accused:
They will not let my play run,
but they steal my thunder"
The authors rash deed spelled his
doom. Even today dennis" is just
another way Of saying THE End"
