REHABILITATED VETERAN NOW
EXCEEDS PRE-WAR EARNINGS

William E. Krattcer of Sidney ser
we'd in the war as a private in Battery
C of the 347th Field Artillery.
While in France with our military
forces he was accidentally shot in the
left leg while on guard duty at Cor
don. This resulted in the amputation
Of his leg below the knee. Naturally
the injury prevented him from re-
turning to his former occupation rs .
ranch foreman. The u. S. Veterans
Bureau awarded him a course in vo-
cational training as it was necessary
that he be taught some other u
ton in which he could carry on with
out his war injury being a constant
handicap. His own preference was
for a course in cigar making, which
he successfully completed on Decem-
Der %, 1922. He was trained in a
large cigar factory where the instruc-
ton was of the most practical kind.
He made rapid progress and mastered
the trade in IN year, becoming =
competent workman in his chosen
field.
Today Mr.. Krattcer conducts his
own cigar factory in Manhattan, Mon
tans. His business is growing stead
lily and he has already found it nee
essary to employ an assistant His
income averages $3.50 per month, al
most double his pre-war earnings. Be-
sides he il his wi employer and has
a good business future before him.

The initiation party given Friday,
October 18th, proved to be a great
success. There were many interest
ing stunts "pulled Off, both on the
Freshies and the teachers.
The Freshies were blindfolded and
told to kiss the Bible three times, but
the third time they bowed their heads
into a pan of water. Their ~foreheads,
noses and cheeks were then painted
green. Before the bandage was re-
moved from their eyes, they were
forced to drink a glass of salty water.
The Freshie girls were forced to
have their hair braided in several
small braids.
Then followed the initiation of the
faculty members. Mr.. Lowry had to
wash baby clothes for Jay Leland who
represented the whole Freshie class.
Miss Gurley, as her stunt, told him
the story of Jonah and the whale.
Miss Sifford in a song told why the
girls should not take normal training.
Miss Butler had to chew two packages
of blackjack gum and sing a solo. Miss
Carter told the story of the crooked
mouth family with great success.
There was dancing part of the we
ming, the music being furnished by
Miss Carter and Miss Butler.
This party proved to the Freshies
that they are as green as we all think
are. However, next year they
will have the pleasure of initiating
perhaps a still more verdant class.

ular, make it seem as if Mr. Eb-
belts knew something when he in
listed baseball was in it's swaddling
clothes.
Recently finished working one of
the most remarkable series in the
history of baseball from an attend
ance standpoint.
Opening the season at New York,
went out to look the park over the
day before the barrier was sprung
The new Yankee stadium amazed me.
"Wcll they have finally built a
park big enough. They never will
have to turn them away with this
plant" | said to myself The very
next day saw such II thing happier,
Boston opened in New York to
$4,000 people lacking "a few hundred.
The day following the opening a
crowd of 10000 looked like mere
handful. The third game drew H..
600. Boston closed its engagement
on Saturday to $4,000.
Just think of it, in the opening
series of the season, 100000 peOpl>
viewed the first four games. In the
very first game played in the new
Yankee stadium it was necessary to
close all gates half hour before
game time.
Then Washington came into New
York for Sunday game that packed
the park to capacity. SO that in five
consecutive days I worked nefOre a
total of 100000 people. Some bus-
ness.
Mr.. Ebbetts knew something when
he said baseball was in its infancy.
