UNCLE DUDLEY'S COLUMN
NOT MONEY ALONE

It isn't big wages in the city alone
that takes young men away from the
farms. The amending routine Of work
and the absence Of any form OF healthy
recreation and amusement have more
to do with it than anything else.
One of these days, farmers will see
the wisdom of maintaining commun-
ity social center, where young men ana
women can hold frequent gatherings
and enjoy the clean forms of amusc-
mcnt which today arc too seldom found
in the country districts.

If given their choice between life
of happiness and one Of sorrow, some

The old practice Of going about with
q chip on ones shoulder has about died

A beautiful woman never has to angie
for admiration, but good one often
fails to command respect.
It is not always wise to judge

When a proposition is carried by the

LeSueur Center Leader Democrat
The Waterville Advance complains
about the present "debased 37h cent
dollar,' and wishes for the days of the
Mckinley dollar. Yep, they were
valuable in those days. So much So
that lot of folks could not get 'em at
all, and had to fall into the bread lines
IN the big cities. Once during Roose-
velt's time, they were also valuable.
We can show you man who had a lot
OF 'em in the bank and could not get
more than ten out on his check. Great
days, those old-time days!
One of the most significant signs of
the campaign is found in the letters
newspapers print from the readers
which show a general trend of indie
pendent sentiment toward Cox and
Roosevelt, but no Independents Demo
cratic sentiment toward Harding and
Coolidge. Every day, the Democratic
papers contain letters from readers an
,nouncing that they are Republicans but
intend to vote for Governor Cox and
Mr.. Roosevelt, and similar letters fire.
>quently appear in Republican newspap-
,ers, which probably receive many more
of the kind than they print.

"A great artillery camp, cleaning

fresh from America with all it's hustle
and variety came by the thousands
young men to be trained for field ar
tillery at the front. They had landed
in what they called the mud-hole of

September and October many Of their
comrades die from the flu epidemic
They came into camp after long, hot
and dusty marches overland, after
dong billets in French villages. They
were disillusioned as to war and it's

venture Strangers in a strange land

her versatility, commonsense and re-
seurcefulness through months Of try

'In May 1918, there were two large

and a recreation hall for enlisted men,
also a Y M. C. A. mess hall and head
quarters building. were erected in the
center of the camp About the mid

of some Of the army officials, women
were assigned to the camp, the first
two being Miss Agnes Morrow Of the
Wellescy Unit and Miss Hortense Col
by Of Boston. In June. Miss Dorothy
Dennis and Miss Alice Lindley were
ASSIGNED to the officers club. The
conditions under which these women
first served were primitive and diff

tive they proved tn. value and neces-
sity for women's work In a strictly
military camp.
