If it hd been our pood fort tine to
accompany Floyd Se?al Harris, son
of Mr. Ir. Ij. W. Curt if, 307 Emer
sion Avrmif, tbrouph Enpland,
France, Dclphim, ljUieniburg and
Germany, we would have seen
nouph of the excitement of battle
and tbe horrors of war to last a life
lime. Floyd left Alliance, bound for
Camp FunMon. April 29, 1918. Here
lie entered Company O, 355 Infan
try. 89th Division, with which com
pany he remained until his discharge,
June 3, 1919.
Company O left Camp Funston on
May 22, 1918. and arrived at Camp
Wills, N. '., the 25th, where they re
mained for over a week. Sailing
from New York on the Ualtic".
June 4, they arrived at Liverpool
twelve days later, poinjt from there
by rail to a so-called rest camp at
floniBey, England. On June 23 the
channel crowing was affected, from
.Southampton to Lallavre, France.
Mention of the Journey across the
Atlantic brought memories to Floyd
of sea-sickneis. boat drill, Austral
Ian hare, medical examinations and
the ever-r resent fish course. Eng
land back memories of practice
marches, the English people's Eng
lish language, more marches, evil
tasting English buns, and still more
marches.

Comminy G trained at llrerhain
ville. France, until August 5, 1918,
when they started by truck train to
ward the Toul sector. Floyd was
fortunate in being a memlHr of this
company, for during the later part
of July, the Division Inspector, Col.
McCoy, gave them the best rating of
any company in the tattn!ion. And
tn the busy weeks that followed they
froved their wor.h and that they
fead not been overestimated.
Arriving in Ansauville, August 7,
the conipanv expected a r-M, but the
putting over of a heavy gas attack
that night changed heir pUns, and
Q Company was detailed to re-enforce
the front line-. During this

inlng ambulance s litcially stuffed
with wounded wre hurryii g to the
re.r by the dozen. However, their
first tiip to the trenches was made
without the loss of a. single man,
I having made the rellf in broad day
i light. August 8. The first casualties
resulted from mustard gas.
From Floyd's diary we find that
he ltor he sent over a heavy barrage i
from 4 to 5 A. M.. August 19. and1
; that "H. (." was killed, ihe first man
in the company to meet death. On ,
the 22nd they were relieved and j
went bark to Hehanne Woods for a
rest. The time was spent in drill i
and maneuvers at nourq.
j Company O again entered the
' trenches September 6 and remained
there until the beginning of the St. j
Mlhiel drive. On the morning of the!
12th thev went "over the top", and
kept going, until the St. Mihiel !
salient was a thing of the past. From
that time on. the fighting of the 89th ,
Division was mostly In the open.
Floyd tells of an unexpected artillery
barrage, beginning at 1 A. M., while
the company was marching east on
the Flirey road at St. Mihiel. It
seemed that the world opened up
man competing with nature can
non flash agan'.st lightning, a rain of;
shells against the oceans of water
which fell from the skies, the roar of
artillery against the rumble of thun
der, and the men thinking an enemy I
barrage had opened up. For a while
there was great confusion. The
officers told them it was their own
barrage, but In the awful storm of
rain and lead, and with the lightning
seemingly striking less than a rod
away at every breath, a number of
the men "lost their heads". Rom
ran Into the barrage, some threw
down their packs and guns and some
scrambled In the mud, not knowing
what to do. Floyd tells of falling in
a trench, with his pack and gun, and
scrambling on his hands and knees
in the deep mud, unable to get up.
However, they soon recovered from
the excitement of the moment, and
Company O, the first day of the
drive, captured approximately J0O
prisoners. There were thirteen cas
ualties in Company O in this drive.
Floyd carried back one of his com
rades, Henry Keane, who had been
killed by machine gun fire.
From October 1 to October 7 the
company occupied reserve sectors
around Doullonville. From there
they went to the Argonne sector.
The 89th Division relieved the 32nd
Division near Komagne and proceed
ed to clean up the Bois de Banthe
vllle. These woods were soon clear
ed by two battalions, one of which
contained Company G. German
whlzbangB and light artillery was the
cause of heavy casualties In G Com
pany and sneezing gas also caused
considerable Inconvenience. The
company then went to the support of
positions near Epionwille, on October
22, where they remained until the
3 1 st. On Halowe'en night they
started the shove that lasted until
the armistice was signed, at 11
o'clock on the 11th day of the 11th
month. OnNovember 9, a patrol
from G Company swam the Meuse
River, only nine of the seventeen
men returning. Company G was on
the Meuse when the armistice was
signed, and Floyd thinks they never
would have gotten across, so deadly
was the enemy fire.
In the few days, however, 'hey be
gan a- st.i-cession f inarches uii
through Belgium, Luxemburg, and
Germany, find linally arrived at Auw,
Germany, on Iieeember 19. From
Auw, Floyd marched to Schwelch,
and from th're to Saarburg. He re
mained at irnarburg and at Beurig,
across -.he river, until April 3, 1919,
when he was sent on a detail with 50
other men to Dijon, France. They
accompanied a convoy ot trucks to
Coblenz, and finally rejoined the
company at Crutweiler.
On May 8, the start for the V. S.
A. began, first by trucks to Trier,
and from '.hre to Brest on American
box cars. They boarded the 'Levia
than", with 11.000 other troops, on
May 15, and on the 22nd landed in
Hoboken, Just a year from the time
they left Funston. The 27th of May
saw then entrain for Funston, at
which place they arrived, after stop
ping over In Omaha and Lincoln on
Memorial Day where they were roy
ally welcomed and fed. The day
they all looked forward to finally
come, and on June 3 they received
their discharge papers, conscious
of work well done, glad that they
had seen what they had seen but firm
ly determined "never again" to un
dergo the same experiences until
absolutely necessary. Floyd is to be
congratulated on having been a
member of euch a deserving com
pany, and Company G, 355th Infan
try, made J' record through the
faithful work of such men as Mr.
Barnes proved himself to be.

The kidneys do their utmost to rre
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weaJc from the overwork; they
get alugpsh; the eliminative tissues clog

blood to poison tbe entire system,
When your kidneys ache and feel like
lumps of lead, and you have stinging
pains in the back or the urine is cloudy,
full of sediment, or tbe bladder is irri
table, obliging you to seek relief during
tie night; when you bare sere re head
aches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleepless
ness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad
weather, get from your pharmacist about
four ounces of Jad Salts; take a
tableepoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast each morning and in a few
days your kidneys will act fine. This
famous salts ia made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys,
to neutralize the acids in urine so it is
no longer a source of irritation, thus
ending urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Baits is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink, and nobody can maka
a mistake by taking a little occasionally
to keep the kidneys dean and active.

Many Extra Miles
We can show you and prove to you
that there is a genuine money saving in the
use of United States Tires.
The extra miles they give mean just so
many extra dollars counted in real money.
And there are further actual economies in
the saving of gas, oil, repairs and depreciation
The reason of all this is in the tires them
selves their liveliness, ruggedness and
sturdiness.
There are five United States Tires a type
for every make of car. "
