SOLDIER THRILLS TOWN BY CLIMB

Grover C. Winders of Co. B Development Bn. Camp Shelby, Miss., wandered into the town of Hattlesburg last Sunday, and having noticed that Old Glory had not been appearing at the top of the town flag pole for sev

eral days Inquired the reason.

"There is trouble some where In

the rope workings up on top the pole," he was told.

"Well I'll go up and see what's the

matter," was the lad's reply. The of

ficial he had questioned heard him, but paid very little attention, thinking It only a passing remark.

But the next thing the town knew

the soldier was mounting the pole with the aid of the steeple jack's ropes. He climbed up and up and

finally reached the top. By that time

a crowd of passers by had gather to

watch the performance on the narrow pole. At the very top he untied the knotted ropes of the flag, and slid to the ground after It. Shortly after he landed the Stars and Stripes were refastened to the rope and drawn again to the top of the pole. The soldier was a steeple-jack before going into the service, and climbed the division headquarters pole last May to gild the top. Winders formerly lived In Richmond.

"We have been going pretty hard for the last month, but we have reached our objective and expect It a lMle easier for awhile. I suppose you

have noticed in the papers what we are doing, and what we have already done. It is sure great sport dead Germans on all sides. "No, mother, I am not allowed to tell

38 NEW DRAFTEES REGISTER HERE

Thirty-eight men with homes outside the city registered for the new draftf with the Richmond board Friday night. A number of the men who registered Friday were vague about their permanent residence, and told the board that they just "kept going on." A Kansas resident wondered if he might not be required to become naturalized before he would be accepted, and there was another who replied to the board's question "no, he was not native born, he was born in Mis

souri." The board will continue to register men living out of the city, who will not be able to appear before their local boards until registration day, September 12.

GENTERVILLE BOY TELLS OF AIR RAIDS ON FRENCH TOWN

"We have been In two airplane raids, and believe me, it is not very pleasant to hear Fritz dropping bombs all about at night, when we are not able to see him," says Marion F. Welser, son of Mrs. H. Welser, of Centervllle. Welser was formerly employed at the Starr Piano factory and is now

in France with a field hospital train. "We are in an old French village that was built in the year 600 A. D. The buildings are all built of stone; have not seen a frame building since I have been here. Was up in an old tower last night and could see for miles around, was also in a large ca

thedral. It was beautiful inside but full of holes.

"In an old cemetery I visited, I j found one stone dated 1671. I would i love to have my camera with me. I j could get some fine pictures. Ourj camp is situated in a very pretty park. There is a river running through it

and we are allowed to fish when we are off duty. "We have been very lucky In the two raids we have been through. Fritz did not get anyone In either. After the first bomb exploded, we were all looking for a hole In the ground. About half of the town has

been blown away. It was occupied! by the Huns in the beginning of the war. We are allowed to walk around at night when off duty, but we have j to carry our gas masks and helmets with us. It Is safety first over here

We are near enough to the firing lines to hear the big guns and the machine guns and they wake us up sometimes at niKht. There are Y.M. C. A. huts

here, one of the K. of C. and the Sal- j vation Army, and believe me, we boys , surely do appreciate them. We have movies at the Y. M. C. A. "Now mother, do not worry about : me. as I never felt better in my life, j I have gained eighteen pounds since , coming- across, and we have plenty)

to eat. Write me often and address me the letters in ink.

NO BASEBALL GAME HERE ON SUNDAY There will be no ball game tomorrow at Exhibition Park, according to Nat Cooney. the Athletic booking agent. The Gian3 would not come to satisfactory termi and so the Athletics refused to play, Cooney said. A game may be arranged between these two teams next Sunday. An order for 1,000.000 fruit baskets has been placed with the Employers' Federation of Cane and Willow Workers by the British ministry of food. That whooping cough Is caused by

a bacillus has been discovered by two

European physicians.
