MONTICELLO TO HAVE A CHAUTAUQUA

The Monticello Herald says, “Monticello is assured a chautauqua next summer —one that will go “over the top.” “For several years Monticello has had a Lincoln but has not been pleased with the treatment received from the Lincoln people last year when the chautauqua ended abruptly before the final number owing to the disagreement of the platform manager and the members of the committee in charge, who insisted that the terms of the contract be carrie dout. “The contract is fairer than any ever presented by the chautauqua people and the circuit pays all expenses of the talent and advertising bills. •

HAS SIX GOLD STRIPES.

(Third Installment.) Say, you’ve got to try it to realize the strain of a day like that. The significance of everything that went up that road just make a fellow’s blood tingle. It makes me tingle now to think of it. I especially noticed when a truck load of medical men went up the road and I remember laughing at lots of things that usually I would not call funny.. Still it was a question whether we would “go over” or be in re- | serve. About 4 o’clock, however, the top sergeant came by our shelter i tent, saying, “Make up your normal | packs.” ’ That is two days’ rations and a pair of sox, so there was no longer any doubt. Everyone busied themselves filling canteens, adjusting packs and getting rifles in good shape till supper time. I remember winding my watch and wondering if" I’d ever wind it again. Some even rippeil. off their gold chevrons, saying the Germans might take them for officers.

As soon - as we had eaten we fell in, the roll was called, and the company moved off up the road in single file. Other companies, sometimes four or five, were going at the same time, so there was danger of getting mixed up, it being dark. Along the road the supply company broke open crates of canned meat, piled out loaves of bread, and even passed out fresh tomatoes. Of course, we all took more than we could carry. It was scattered all along the road. That night is just like a.nightmare, looking back at it. Up steep hills, down again, through the streets of ruined villages, in at the front door of a dwelling, out ata hole in the wall, across a stream on a log, up hill again, across the fields, and all the time toward the star Shells, which is just like going to a 'fire at night. Once the sky clouded up and it rained, cleared off again and the stars came out. We spent the night stopping and starting, getting to one side to let tanks pass, which made so much noise it seemed we’d surely be shelled. I guess we went about 11 miles, and finally stopped, just at daybreak in a wheat field on the higher land and about a kilo from the front as marked by the flares. We spread out into line, and out of all that confusion of the night every platoon and company had made its way to its place in line, a line which stretched down the front for twenty miles. And Fritz hadn’t heard a thing. First relief outside!

Well, we lay there ten minutes and the barrage began, a rolling barrage, and we moved forward at once. It was sure a glorious sight. The morning mist was just lifting and as far as I could see were doughboys in long waves. We were in the third wave. At each objective the first wave stopped and the others went on, so after the second objective I was in the first wave. By that time we were about seven kilos beyond the old line and had passed their light artillery. It never did fire any, thanks to our 75’s. I got within 200 yards of the third objective, which was between ten and tweve kilos. We tried to get to a machine gun emplacement on the Paris-So i ssons road, our objective. That was a few miles south of Soissons. I tramped back a short distance and - a French lieutenant piled me with five others into his disabled tank., Rode four or five kilos, then got on an artillery limber for half a mile and walked the rest. The artilery was where the German artillery had been four hours before! and they had whoe stacks of shells ready for another barrage. I took some pictures before I got out. JWill bring them home with me. (To be concluded.)

PROTECT SOLDIER AND SAILOR HOME INTERESTS

“Protecting the Soldier’s and Sailor’s Home Interests,” “Re-educating the Disabled Man,” “Demobilization Problems,” are some of the topics listed for discussion In Gary, February 14 and 15, at the Home Service regional conference arranged by the American Red Cross, Lake Division, Civilian Relief Department. At morning and afternoon sessions held in the Y. M. C. A., and at a public mass meeting held Friday might in the Congregational Church, representatives from the Lake Division Civilian Relief Department will bring the national and division Home Service work to the local chapters, and to all interested in Red Cross work. Home Service workers from Lake, Porter LaPorte, St. Joseph, Elkhart, Newton, Jasper, Pulaski, Benton, White and Carroll counties have been invited to discuss their local problems with the division representatives at the conferenoe. The American Red Cross feels that its obligation to families of men in active military or naval forces does not fcease upon honorable discharge from the service. A duty is owed to these men and their families during the period of readjustment to civil life, which it is the intention of the Red Cross to help fulfill through Home Service.

GOVERNMENT INSPECTORS HERE.

Two fine looking gentlemen came to the city Friday afternoon and at once made investigation at the Iroqouis Roller Mills. After they had made the investigation they complimented Mr. Sprague on the quality of flour which he was turning out, and the equipment of machinery. These men are both millers themselves, and own and operate mills. One of them was so muchimipressed with the bleaching process that he took plans for installing the same kind of bleaching process. Here is another opportunity to boost a home industry and get better goods at a less price. chant in the country should boost the Iroquois Roller Mills products. This is one way to help make “A Better Jasper County.”
