eye of the land in celebrating the

in furtherance to this appeal, as

1t Was Our Fault

In the last issue we had a news
item about w %. Orr's announcing
an auction sale at Blackfoot for Sat
urday the third of January, and then
we added a paragraph or two about
Mr.. Orr's remarkable experience in
the war
When We editor and Mr.. Orr met,
after the paper was out, Mr.. Orr said
he appreciated the kind mention of
him, but was afraid people would
think it was an effort to play up his
war record as business asset, and
he did not want at any time to mix
war records and business. He
wanted to make business stand on it's
own merits.
We just want to mention to our
readers, that we almost accidentally
learned some of his war experience
and it was so remarkable, we added
it to the news item of our own ac-
cord and without his knowledge.
When you go to the Saturday sale,
just forget about that, but after it
is all over, get acquainted with him
and maybe you will find him inter-
esting. We did.

was a silence so intense that it hurt.
The lieutenant said a few more
words and then went out. Somebody
gave a loud, hysterical laugh, and
another began to sing to the tune Of
a Salvation Army hymn: We're go
