A Show of Unparalleled Thrills and Object Lessons.

cn a two hundred acre stase an All Star-Cast of thousands of soldiers and Jackics will enact this tragedy of all tragedies under the staga management of Uncle Sam. You will see an exact duplicate of ihe real battle line, life-alzed with No-Man's land and its barbed wire entanglements separating oui frenches and those of the Hun. It is serious it is grim as it must be. DO YOUR BIT by going to see how our brave Fathers. Husbands, Brothers, Sons and Cousins are meeting and conquering the foe. This Is not a money making ventue it is an official United States Government show and any profit earned by the Exposition after the expenses have been paid will go to the United States Treasury, thereby reducing the war tax burden on each of us.

I wrote my first letter from (deleted.) I had one of the be.st trips of my life, driving a motorcycle from our first camp to the present one. There were three of us who drove machines The roads here are like ona Ion 5 boulevard. We didn't strike a rough stretch all th way goiriir over the long: wlnd-ne roads, through the little to wps.

H:s home j was right p.t the pot where we had I thf puncture so we covered the maj chine and went in. I The smell of the earthern floor was 1 rather unpleasant at first, but we soon jd'd r.'M mind It. It was a little on the rolling type, but was packed like a rock The room contained a rough j table with two benches along side; a I couple of stools near the bisr fire place; j a g'.ra: large clock decorated wonderfully, a b;g cabinet bed. and several ictu' wer on the wall? A c ' 1 p - board with w Ines and dishes on the mtmw-s and two isrg.' pieces of mat i hung from the rafters. Our light w as i furnished by one weak candle. With the aid of pictures and a raft ; of deaf and dumb s!?ns and motions. I ! finally leained that our French host was a gunner. Just back from the front cn a furlough. We regretted keenly cur Inability to speak his language. , W hen I hit the. hay which it really was, ed was a tig hay loft, I Just blirrowed down and never heard a - .. . sound until the nxr morning in time or breakfast.

I am surely a happy H. osier to have been one of the lucky ones sent over here to li-Ip her and I never had a suit of clothes !n all my life that I liked and valued half as much as the suit Uncle Sam gave me for nothing. I have just received two ltters so far In France and I have read each one of these over about fifty times. I am very anxious for some news and hope all try friends will remember me.

AI.l-EN IMPRESSIONS OF MY VISIT TO CAMP SHERMAN Through the kindness of the Times I will try to give its readers a few of my impressions while visiting mv brother In Camp Sherman, knowing th while that relatives and friends of the boys in that camp would bo Interested to read of what they are doing, how they are treated and what are th actual conditions under which they soldier. I Arriving at Columbus. 51 miles from j i amp you cannot but know that the (boys are somewhere around, for there Its every accommodation that the solIdler would want provided for him; free coffee and rolls nt the Red Cross stations, free Information bureaus, the Khaki Club at 5:h and High streets, where reading, lounging, baths, bil liards, etc.. are free; community houses and eo forth. I took the short line to Chililcothe and got there at 9 30 a. m. The impressions gotten In this town would take u little more space than I would be allowed to use so I will say that It Is strictly a military town. There were about Cn.0"0 instructors, in autos. pome without, the streets looked a little more crowded than State and Randolph on a Saturday night. The crossingj, street corners, depots. ?r all partolled and regulated by the Military Police (M P. ) and say. they j I.oop cops have nothing on them, they have supreme authority. Know an ana care or tne puouc in a eij creditable manner. Hundreds of taxis and busses are doing a splendid business taking passengers to camps, which is about four milvs away, for only 25c a person. The drivers will let yoi off at the right place as the who's camp is sec-

tionai f.na ietterea so ov. aon t nai;out this place Is very nice and wish difficulties to find your party if you j that some of you could see it.

kn". the regiment, coiupeny and section numbers. The camp itself !s lares, in fact. It would take a good walker 8 hours to go around it. The main streets are blaek with mitrmo'iiies, each one containing friends and relatives of the boys. The camp Itself is full of life. One company drills hre. r,Jt company has th gas mask drill, the other has bayonet nun ana fi on. eer"ne ao,n i.ie.i share. officers and privates alike, re - gardless of sun and heat, with but one idea to get there, and to know all. Noon time you can see the family picnics where pome uniformed hero presides. One particular farmer woman about 65 years old, so to Judge, brought four chickens and fruit and b-ead. to share it with her boys and friends; under trees, in canteen porches everywhere you see a mother loving her boy. or some wife or swetheart putting her arms around her hero and holding him like she would never let go. There are plenty of canteens where everything in linn of drinks, randies and fruits, also Jewelry and clothing can be had The prices which the boys pay for same are as we pay here, Movies, and sometimes vaudeville j gr pome of the pastimes of the boys. ( There is also an immense buiidinr I which is the Community House where uniformed men en' club privileges ar.d there is dancing and music ror him. also a pretty partner provided in case he has none. Every church is represented by a building of its own. The Y. M C. A have several places and they sure help the boys a lot. In camp there is perfect order, for the M. P. are there to see to it. Everybody is courteous and obliging and they go out of their wav to direct you or get your party. Earn company has a special man on v:sitj ing davs to help you find your boy ! or f jlend. j To say that cleanness reigns puI preme is only right, and it would make ' the crankiest house wife envious to (see the quarters, mess halls, tables and j kitchens: they scrub them three times ja day. from ona end to another, and I not a scrap of paper is to be found in camp or street or for that matter, in the whole camp. the kind that makes your blood red j and the muscles hard, and the boys eat it with more gusto than your fancy) restaurant meals. I cKTTf wVist the bovs sre rlo-1 ing there: they are learning the art) of being singers. I mean Yankee sol- j d iers They are taught everything they ought to know from the school j of th e soldier, bavonet drill, rifle shoot-I i j ,m , . gas mask drill 'In a leal ga , ing, gas maK nri.i n-n , house) to throwing hand grenades. They lrarn all that makes the rral Yankee soldier the inspiring spirit of his allied brothers. The morale and spirit of the boys In ramp (not only when they are off dtitv) but after 12 to U hours of hlklnsr or rifle range practice, or gas house practice, and with at l"ast 73 pounds of weight on them all the while. I say their spirits and deter mination Is Just splendid anr the only j way for us to realize that no matter j how much Is asked of us for their sakn to go there and watch what thev are doing for us. who enjoy life and have everything we desire and money can buy. If we would give a. thousand times more than we do we could not repay their sacrifices. I Fpoke to at least fifty different officers and boys, and gather that their only wish is to pass the pi e-overseas j examination so as to go over ana not be left behind. The man who has that misfortune considers himself the most unlucky being there. They say: "If we are soldiers, we want to know all and go over where we can repay the Hun the Just debt only with the largest interest he ever got. In conclusion, 1 will say: If Kaiser Bill with his band of butchers and pirates, could only have seen these boys on a Sunday, the day of rest, headed by their officers, dressed in Jumpers and overalls, black with dust, soaked in perspiration, after ten hours of hiking, target shooting and gas mapk drill, marching down the street, heads up.

say, if they could only see them, they would realize that it may be fun to bull pome nations, but when they start something with I'nels Sam, they have started something which the above named will finish for them In a complete victory for the right of nations, hurnanitarlanlsm and world democracy.

From F. J. Klemm. Somewhere, in France. Juno 30. 1318. Pear Fatiier. Brothers and Sisters: I am writing to all of ion at onc.j, for paper is scarce out here and also have to go easy on the ink At last we are stationed at a fine camping ground with a river running right by our camp, and believe me. the hoys went almost wild whn we hit this place, after having been in a rest iariip with no water, except for drinking and cooking. We left our rest camp and rode for j 2i hours on a frieght train, that in. the privates all roda In frieght cars. 40 In a car. It was some crowd, but we were well paid for hitting a fine place like this. 1 After we got off the train we had a four or five mile walk ahead of us with about a fifty pound pack. Th's place is Just like a park; nice shade trees and a rlvr about 300 feet wide. I swam arross it the first day and have been in again this morning; it was very deep. Relieve me. we had a lot of clothes to wash and It took j do it. as we had no washing water for some weeks, before we hit this ; place. I hope we stay here till we bit th firing line, as I know, we could not find a better place. Tou must excuse the poor writing, as I am writing this on my knee and have only a few sheets of writing paper under this. I did not like the first town we hit I saw quite a few German prisoners: they look like they are well taken care cf. Some of our boys are fishing: now and som are in a boat, taking it easy. I don't think that I will ever learn to talk French. You see our boya are always together and the people are not mixing with us, although they are verv friendly and all that. All our cooking is done out doors ,firir1 clJr ri!nin? room Is a nice shady , rPld , w, have fine d r!nkl , , a spring. I also saw some Algerian soldiers here. I saw women brakemen on the trains, and almost all the work Is done by women; there are very few men doing any kind of farm work. We are allowed to drink wine, of course; there is a limit to all this, but we have plenty of privileges and I wish the fellows would not overdo them. Vcu folks excuse me if you do not get a letter very often, for it takes quite a while before a fellow can get paper sometimes, but I wish all of you would write as often as you can. even more so, as the mail does not come as often now. W hv not change off j onB nf y(JU wrlti then the other onA and so on? I wish I had a bathing suit now. hut I manage to get a swim every day somehow. Some of the fellows are having their nar clipped and their heads shaved, j Well. I guess I wi'.l have to auit writing as I have no more paper and don't know when I'll get some more. You see there is no such a thing as a Y. M. C. A. around here. W'ith best wishes, and hoping you are all In good health, the same as I am. Your loving son and brother. BILL. From Wm. Klemm. Bat.

'From Donald F. Daegling. I The following Is a letter received

by Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Daegling. of Whiting, from their son. Donald, who has Just arrived overseas. France, in Rest Camp. Dearest Folks: Have arrived here all O. K., as th "Safe Arrival" cards have probably already announced to you. Our trip across the seas was unexciting and uneventful, as wa all had not expected. The last three or four days of our trip we encountered storms not so severe though. Several sailors aboard said that It was real calm in comparison to what they really are at times. If ro. leave ma off the ships and let me plant my feet on God's earth. What a feeling It was to step off the ship on to the ground, would be hard to tell, although we all were ready at ail times to abandon the ship in case of accident or attacks. My first Impression of war-torn France made me realize what great sacrifoes these most wonderful people are offering to the cause of freedom for all peoples. 1 could see the honest gladness In their faces when they saw we boys march through thtir narrowstreets tight past their very doors of their stuccoed homes. In which they and their forefathers have lived. These people. Mother, are wonderfully kind and true. No doubt you and many of oiir home people of the States think that this is no more than is due tha United States boys. So it is. but when one realizes that troops of red, white and blue are passing through the diffeient districts of France by the it then presses on your minds that 'How are you" and 'Hello" would wear off of these people's faces, much like a novelty but that Is not so, indeed. Beautiful France is very picturesiua much more than I had expected the fields are green completely, while dotted over its whole are plats of wheat, yellow and ripe and ready to be cut to be thrashed into flour for the troops f.ghtlng for the cause, and for the famished women and children whe are at present doing manual labor in the factories and on the farms of France. As we passed through the streets little French children boys and girls, both would hail us saying "tobacco for fadder" we could see the honest appeal In their faces and give them cigarettes with the result of pathetic smiles on their faces and a. gentle "Thank you siri" These children walk round in woodn shoes, even the little tots of a few years have them and the older folks also wear them cumbersome looking things, very much like the shoe of Holland probably the custom followed and picked up from the Dutch. Our first problem of Inconvenience is tre language, second, the money but we will gradually become acquaint ed with these trifling Inconveniences large though they are. French peasantry peddle their wares at the entrance of our camp grounds these wares consist of plums, figs, nuts, a pressed compound of figs, nuts and brandy supposedly called candy, canned goods, salmon, onions, prunes and a variety of many other things. These thlng3 are greedily bought up by we boys .who enjoy talking to these people very much. Pear ones, it is already dark I have written the last page or two in the dark. It seems so funny that your son Fhould be so far away from you all. who are so dear to me, when only a few months ago I was enjoying home life so close to you. now thousands of miles away in a foreign land" ready to do my bit whatever it may be. It seems I could write on forever concerning the thoughts which have passed through my mind of the things I will not be able to reveal to you only when I come back to you. I will make quits now, with the promise to write a long letter tomorrow if time permits. Good night to you. Mother. : dear and all my rest, good night; American peopl'- whom I know are :i will soon be making sacrifices, good night to the chivalrous people oi France. Tour most loving son. DONALD. Donald F. Daegling. Battery A. 70th : Artillery, C. A. C, A. E. F. From 0. W. Gorge. Somewhere in France, July 5. 19ls. Dear Father and Mother and AH: I haven't received any letter from you folks, since the last time I wrote, but I have some good news to tell you and 1 can't keep it. John and I finally met. Last night I was writing to Nevada and Aunt Eve and one of the boys told me that a couple of our boys saw John. I hunted them up and found out it was so. It was lucky that they did run into him. Someone jelled for them to get under cover and they went Into the woods and some fellow asked them what outfit they were from. When they told him he said he had a brother in that battery and told them for me to come over. I got permission from our commander to go over today, and over I went. He was as tickled to Bee me as I was him. He hasn't changed a bit as I could see and I had about a two-hour talk with him. I took some tobacco over with mo and he had as much as I did. He hasn't bcen hurt yet and is still in Co. K. I expect to see him again pretty soon. He is going to try to transfer into my regiment and from ail appearances he will make It. I hope he does as we can be near each other all the time then. I call that a miragle, don't you? They say the third charm Is a charm and I believe it is. I tried twice before to see him and failed and this time I got by. Well, folks, I sent D7 francs home by the Y. M. C. A. man on the 3rd. That equals $10 in our money and use it for whatever you see fit. I will send some more home" whenever I get a chance. How is everything at home? I am O. K. now and never felt better in my life. John went through England. He was in and quite a few other places. I wasn't so lucky. So you see. dad. there is one of your boys that saw England. Maybe I will before I come home. Well. I must close for this time, hove to all and a big kiss and a hug for all cf you. From your boy. ' WALT. Vflii'H 1ilrf to tak a ntinrh at tVip kaiser you say? Then buy a Thrift Stamp.

The Boys at the Front OUR BOYS ARE COUNTING ON YOU HELPING IN EVERY WAY. We are doing our utrast to relieve the situation by opening up our tremendous acreage of oil fields in Wyoming. We are going to start drilling just as soon as possible. Our Company is a Hammond concern, one that every one is proud to be associated with. We have 12,800 acres in the famous Thornton district. The experts say it's good oil land. Every dollar invested with us should bring in handsome returns. Eveiy well opened up and flowing means help for Uncle Sam. Our oil bring $3.50 or better a barrel as against $2.10 for Oklahoma oil. Why? BECAUSE IT CONTAINS A VERY HIGH PERCENTAGE OF GASOLINE. Take YOUR savings and buy our shares today. There are only a few shares being offered and at only 50 cents a share. Join with us. Help and at the same time SHARE IN THESE PROFITS. Ask any one of our stockholders why WYOMING-THORNTON oil shares are cheap at 50 cents. Ask any man in Hammond about the honesty of the Board of Directors. Here they are: MR. JOSEPH W. WEIS. MR. K. C. WHITE. DR. G. D. HELGEN. DR. J. T. CLARK. MR. S. V. DAVIS. Then buy all you can. But do it now when you can purchase at 50 cents instead cf probably $5.00 a share soon.
