LOST BATTALION MAN
IS RAWLlES VISITOR
WAS GASSED IN ARGONNE

During the past week Rawlins en-
tertained a visitor who modestly en-
joys n unique distinction, that Of be-
ing the only survivor of the famous
Lost Battalion now living in the
state of Wyoming, Sherman Wade. OF
Kemmerer. who was in the city a day
or two in consultation with DR.. c. w.
Jeffrey regarding his act providing
for the rehabilitation under the terms
of the Federal law covering cases Of
injury and physical disability in
CURED in the service.
The story of the Lost Battalion and
Of its dauntless commander. "Go-to-
| He'll Whittlesey,'' is that of one OF
the outstanding adventures of the
World Wal and will live in history
as one of the most desperate and
heroic exploits of the American army
in France. The battalion which be-
came famous in IN offensive move
ment in the Argonne forest broke
through the German lines on October
2, 1918, and was cut off entirely
from the American troops for nearly
six days, during which time the men
suffered every conceivable form OF
hardship and ~privation, all the time
subjected to a merciless fire from the
Hun batteries.
Finally ever the German heart was
moved by the desperate plight Of the
little handful. all of whom seemed
doomed to extinction. so a courier
was sent to Major Whittlesy, beg
cling him to surrender and save
slaughter. To this message
he sent his terse refusal. which was
Enthusiastically uncompromising:
Go to He'll" When relief finally
there were but ESQ out of a
:otal OF 679 officers and men who
out alive, Of these Sherman
was one.
He was gassed the first day Of that
lwful time. but like many other cases
those who suffered from the hell
sh gas OF the enemy. the effect was
rot as bad Immediately as has been
he case since. Wade is 5 feet IL
inches in height. and when he en-
listed he weighed 165 pounds. To-
lay he weighs but 131 pounds and
is hearing is badly impaired as we'll

NO CHANGE IN THRESHING COST
Tim Payne Announces That Prices
Will Be Same as Last Year.


There will be little change in the
Kansas wheat threshing prices this
year from last years prices, Tim
Payne, secretary of the Kansas
Threshermen's Brotherhood, an
nounced here today. Payne said
threshing would start in southern
Kansas in a very few days, the
threshers usually getting started about
ten days after the beginning of the
cutting.
In localities where the farmers fur
nish their own crews it is said the
prices for threshing will be between
Z and cents a bushel. In the big
carry their own crews the prices prob
ably will be between IA and II cents
d bushel.
Payne has just returned from Bur-
lington where the Coffey county
threshermen made plans for the be-
ginning of work. They fixed tenta-
tive prices based upon the price of
wheat July l. If wheat is selling at
a dollar a bushel or better July 1, the
Coffey county threshermen plan to
charge cents a bushel. If wheat is
selling at less than a. dollar July 1,
the threshing price will probably be
cents.
A meeting of the Usage county
plan for the beginning of the thresh-
ing season and to fix the prices to be
charged.

men so cents an hour and steam en-
gineers Sc a day this year The gen

mally announced his intention to re-
tire as chairman of that organization,
a position he has held for the past
four years.
Mr.. Pribble, who is general claim
agent of the Santa Fe system, said he
was proud of having been the last
president of the Freight Claim asso-
citation, and first chairman of the claim
division of the American Railway as
ISOLATION, into which the Freight
Claim association was merged Mr..
Pribble also said it was fitting that
he should lay down the reins of the
Craftsmanship in the same room where
he attended his first Freight Claim
association meeting fifteen years ago.
Takes Little Credit Himself.

joint credit to the members of the
claim division and the railroad gen.
orally for the present successful fight

damage" said Mr.. Pribble, I'VE
adopted the slogan Cut Loss and
Damage in Half-It Can Be Done
