VORIKNG FOURTEEN HOURS A DAY, SAYS A LOCAL SOLDIER

"No burned

lights; are permitted to be after dark here," writes Pri

vate Charles MacLeonhardt in a letter to Emory Wissler. "We must be in the dark to keep old 'Fritz1 from knowing too much about us." Mac Leonhardt, who Is a former Palladium employe is now with a motor mechanics air service company with A. E. F. In France. His letter follows: "Dear Emory: "I have made several attempts to mall you a letter, but have been aw3 fully busy and time Is a precious thing over here. I am working about . 14 hours a day (no time and a half for over time either), and when night comes I am generally ready for the 'hay.' "I have seen some pretty sights since I have been over here. Some I can tell about and some I can not To write a letter Is rather difficult. "The, farmers all live In small towns and drive their stock to and from their farms every day. They pile manure In the front yard, and the barns and houses adjoin. Most of the buildings are built adjoining each other like a city block. Everything is built from stone and concrete. Very seldom ever see a wooden house, or even any shingles. They are all made from clay. ' "The peasants wear wooden shoes, or most of them do; the wagons have only two wheels and the brakes work sometimes something like the wheels on a linotype which raises and lowers the magazine. I saw one man taking eight calves to market In a little cart and he had them all tied together and lying on their backs. The crops are all good, and harvesting Just started last week. While I was at camp in the TJ. S., they had their grain already cut. "The French people won't drink water. They use wine mostly, but I have never seen any of them drunk. "I will be glad to get a 'Pall'. I got a few copies of it a couple of weeks ago, but they were dated back in the days we left the states. With best wishes to all the boys and girls at the shop. Private Charles Mac Leonhardt. P. S. I forgot to tell you that I am cook now. Can you imagine It?"

Republican Record Can Stand on Merits, G.O. P. Workers Told

"We are going to re-elect the Republican congressmen in this state and we are going to do it in the name of good government and good citizenship," said A. L. Bales, representative from the state Republican committee at the Republican meeting Wednesday night at the court house. "We challenge the country and the world to show either past or present any party that in any crisis has stood by any administration more loyally than the Republican party has stood by Woodrow Wilson during the past year and a half. "We can look every community In this country squarely in the face and challenge It to point to a state administration that has stood by the president any more loyally than the Republican state administration of Indiana. "I do not think any Republican is called upon to make apologies for his politics. The Republican record has been made and- you know on which side the administration has fared best."

Mr. Bales emphasized the importance of the fact that the results depend entirely upon the manner in which the activities are handled. He urged that republicans realize the value of the personal work with the individual voter. L. S. Bowman, county chairman,

stated that the meeting was called through specific instructions from the state committee. From now on the county organizations will devote their time to getting Republican voters for registration.

Brooks, Republican candidate for auditor, and Oliver Lafuze, chairman of the Republican organization in Union county and nominee for joint representative from Union and Wayne counties.

"After I had safely taken -a load of ammunition through a heavy barrage of shrapnel and machine gun bulleta and got back and was riding my team

to water, the horses threw me off and I sprained my knee, until I can hardly walk. They want me to go to the hospital, but there is nothing doing. "I haven't been able to find out how bad Blocky was wounded. He sure got a Tew flat heads before trey got him. "We have 180 horses in our supply company and 78 of them are as fine stallions as ever I saw in the United States. . "We are expecting to get relieved so we can go back for a rest, and we sure need it, as we have been up and after them since July 15.

Flue Construction and Fire Travel Most heaters waste fully onehalf of the heat given off the fire ; the heat and smoke pass directly from the fire pot into

the stove pipe and out of the chimney. In the KING CLEARMONT the fire does not pass directly from the fire pot into the chimney. Instead the products of combustion pass into the upper chamber of the flue back located on the rear of the stove. Drawn down to the base and then back to the top of the stove before it is allowed to enter the smoke pipe. Three times as much fire travel as on any other make of stove, of equal size, and by .having this lengthy fire travel insures you of getting every degree of heat out of your fuel.

The King Clearmont will give more heat from a ton of any kind of fuel than any other stove made. WE don't ask you to take our word for it. WE CAN PROVE IT.

The HOT BLAST RING

great

Soft coal gives off a

amount of gas. In the KING CLEARMONT these gases are burned, and made to give their heat into the room. Perpendicular slots running from center to the top of the fire bowl, connected with -an air chamber which completely surrounds the fire bowl. It makes no difference whether there is little or much fuel in the fire pot, the gases will always be burned, on account of the air being admitted directly into the fire, instead of at the top of the fire, as is the case in a good many hot blast stoves. A screw register in front controls the air supply and you have the fire under perfect control all the time.
