O’Neill celebrated the Fourth
in grand style and hundreds of
people were entertained.
A very sad and painful acci
dent, and what might have been
a fatal one, befel James Harring
ton, brother of M. F. and John,
on the Fourth. Jim was riding in
a race on the fair grounds and
his horse became unmanageable,
running into barbwire fence sur
rounding the grounds, and Jim’s
right leg above the knee was bad
ly lacerated, the flesh being cut
to the bone. The wildest excite
ment prevailed for some time and
everyone thought he had been
killed, but such was not the case.
He was brought to their home in
town as soon as possible and Drs.
Shore and Connally called, who
dressed the wound, cut out con
siderable of the lacerated flesh
and took twelve stitches in sew
ing up the wound. Jim has lots ofi
grit, standing the operation with
out chloroform. He is now rest
ing comfortably.

The 75-milliineter gun is a divi
sional weapon used by the Artillery
as an anti-tank gun. It has been !
replaced to some extent by the more
modern "105”, known as the heavi
est of divisional weapons. The 75
mm gun costs $12,000 and has been
converted by our Ordnance into a
"blaster” twice as efficient as in the
first World War.
This gun gets maximum power for
minimum weight and cost, and the
American people are providing the
finance through the purchase of War
Bonds. If you do your share and in
vest 10 per cent of your income in
War Bonds, adequate supply of this
efficient gun can be assured our
