A LETTER FROM CAI.IP DODGE.
! Co. H, C50 Inf., July 4, 191S.
Mr. J. I. Fitch,
My Dear Uncle:-
I will write you a few lines today,
as it is my birthday. We celebrated
at the River View Park. It being
the first time I had missed being at
home for 2 6 years. I remember fif
teen years ago today. We motored
out to a celebration held in a grove
of F. M. Young's near Murray. I
said motored out. Well our car con
sisted of a lumber wagon with the
t-ide boards off, and two spring seats
, and a chair or two in the back. Now
I am taking it by land and foot.
(Some change. ) I wish you could
have been here yesterday. We had
a big regimental parade, a contest
t between the twelve companies. And
the Col. picked on our company as
being the best marching company in
the regiment. Therefore the Col.
! presented us with the Regimental
flag, and made the rest of the com
panies come to present arms while
we marched up and got the big flag.
I'll tell you he was a beauty. Maybe
you think our old Captain didn't
rear his shoulders back and feel
proud. And about us boys, well. I
can't express cur feelings, only I
' know we whooped and yelled every
step of the way home. You can
imagine how we felt.
I got to be company barber all
right. This morning I was cutting
our Lieut. 's hair. (He was a cow
puncher before he got this office.) I
asked what was on top for tomorrow.
He said we were going down to the
Depot brigade to a little neck-tie
party, that is what he called it, but
I have a different name for it from
that. They are going to hang three
negroes. I don't know just whether
I want to indulge in it or not, but
if they say so. I am there on the
dot.
Well I will give you a little rifle
range news too. I think the rifle
practice is the most interesting thing
in the army life. If you could only
have been here, am sure you would
have enjoyed it as well as I did, the
first time out. You can imagine
about how one would feel the first
time up. I never had shot a large
rifle like that before, and among
about eight thousand soldiers, where
they were firing thousands of shots
every minute. I'll tell you it would
make the be&t of us shake a little
if not a whole lot.
The first ton shots fired 1 got ten
bull's eyes and when the day wound
up I was first over all, and that was
the time I felt proud. The next day
was rapid firing, and we were only
supposed to shoot twenty times in
two minutes, at the best that is,
you only shot five shots and reloaded
five more till you had shot the twen
ty. I made the record in one minute
and twenty seconds, scoring fifteen
bull's tyes, which was the "oest again.
So they took me off the range and
gave me the job of coaching the rest
of the boys, and telling them how to
shoot. It is a snap only the noise is
so bad; you have to keep cotton in
both ears because you sit between
two fellows shooting. We start at
:.'!0 in the morning and shoot till
i:00 at night. Then there are our
iixty pound packs we have to march
home under four miies think of
that. We will have a ninty pounder
to lug when we get over there. May
the Lord help me when I have to
carry that. We arc supposed to go
from here to Italy in the near future.
We sure get well fed here. Some
of our meals taste like $5.00 -ones,
especially when we return from a
twenty mile hike.
Well, I could set here and write
all night and tell things that hap
pen, but expect you all get tired
reading this, so I will save the rest
till I get back I mean till the war
is over, for they wont give any passes
to anyone. Give my regards to all,
and tell them I am feeling fine.
With love and good luck to you, I
remain as ever, your nephew.

EUGENE APPLEGATF. IS
WOUNDED IN FRANCE
From Monday's Daily.
Word reached us Tuesday morn
ing that Eugene Applegate. one of
the first boys to enlist from this
place had been wounded or the
western front in France. T-.is is
the first casuality from this place
and came as a great shock to all.
Eugene enlisted in the Marines
about a year ago and has b3n in
France several months The meager
news received of his being wound
ed states that he was woun led in
the right hip and arm, but how ser
ious is not tevealed, other thii that
he was in a Paris hospita' and
that he was getting along fine. We
hope it is true and that his injuries
are not serious.
This newspaper received a letter
from him just a few minutes oefore
the news came of his being wounded.
In the letter he stated he was well
and getting along fine. As ne?r as
could be determined from his letter
he was in the trenches at the time
which was May 27th. According to
the last in formation 'he was wound
ed June 5th. Union Ledger.
CUTTING WHEAT WITH TRACTOR
From Monday's Iaily.
Robert L. Propst was cutting
wheat with a tractor last week, and
even if the weather was warm he
was able to push the machine right
into the grain, not hurting the hors
es, pnd the machine was willing to
work 24 hours in the day without
any kicking. He says no one could
get him to go back to the proposition
of cutting with horses.

The successful farmer co-op-crates

Knowing that certain soil

that these elements arc main

good in community development.

Accomplishing this is t-imply
a matter of sincere co-operation
among all of us in this com

To sell only such implements
as have the quality to give high
grade results in the field.
To consider good performance

our obligation.
To sell every implement at
a fair price.
To practice the square deal
