We have unloaded a car of seven Fordson Tractors at Plattsmouth to-day,
all of which we have sold to farmers in different parts of Cass county "sight un
seen " which shows the faith the public have in Henry Ford's products.
MR JONES, wiil be in Plattsmouth in a few days (exact date announced

This will be the opportunity that practically every farmer and land owner in
the U. S. has been wanting and now we bring this demonstration to your very
door. So do not fail to be on hand.

We will be prepared to make contracts with Cass county farmers for this

WRITES OF LIFE
I GAMP DODGE
REV. TRUSCOTT SEES CARL
SCHMIDTMAN AND OTHER
BOYS FROM HERE.
THINKS PLAGE HUGE AFFAIR
Says Much Work For Him To Do
And Has To Work Under
Difficulties.
The following letter was written
from Camp Dodge by Rev. Truscott
nnd addressed to C. C. Wescott of
this city.
Camp Dodge, Iowa.
Dear Cliff :-
You and the folk generally will
want to know a little about the
camp and the possibility of meeting
or even finding fellows among such
a crowd so I will take a little time
and tell in the briefist way possible
a tale that will easily make a vol-
X ' time.
4 The camp may be, roughly stated.
16 miles from Des Moine3. From the
3 nearest end of the camp it may be
j 12 or 13 miles while from the farth
t3 ! est Doint it mav be 20. I am livinc
at Methodist Headquarters about 13
miles from town. And have a walk
of about 3 miles to Social Center in
the camp. The camp may be stated
to be 7 miles long. How wonder
fully it is planned. At first one is
confused and sees only a jumble of
nondescript buildings, the only unity
being the endless procession, but
soon the plan becomes evident, it
becomes wonderful it becomes as
tounding. The old soldier, familiar
with these things may think them
commonplace but to me they speak
of the care Uncle Sam is taking of
the fine fellows that are called to
the colors.
The camp awaken and begins the
strenuous life, the intensive train
ing, at 5 a. m. and many of them
are at it until 9 and 10 at night.
On every hand there are soldiers
drilling, some learning how to sa
lute, some only marching at a quick
pace behind two leading season sold
iers who do not turn a hair or sweat
but are followed by a red-faced
sweltering long line, four deep, of
men doing their best to keep in line
keep step and not show the pace is
unusual. My some were real "soft"
but they were doing it, they were
plucky. To see them was an in
spiration to me, for after a few miles
of that tramping I began to weary.
Several times during the day in the
course of my seeking out the bojv
I felt I could not take another step
but kept on. I found that the best
way to get in touch with the men
was to go on the job with them, sc
by 9 a. m. I found myself on the
far end of the camp out at the ar
tillery practice. The men not actual
ly firing the guns could talk with
me, and when they were at their
gun I could talk with the others. The
officers both Commissioned and Non-
Commissioned were verv affable and
friendly. I was able to give out
some testaments and talk of the
things of God to a few, but with the
interest in the marksmanship of the
different crews and the repeated
breaks for their work, it was diffi
cult. After wearily waiting at the Per
sonnel Divisional Headsuarters for
about 3 hours I succeeded in getting
one of my lists of names fixed up
with their locations. Then I began
another tramp, seeing just where I
may find the men when they are
there. Some would be in at 5 some
at 6, some would be there for the
rest of the evening and some wotild
be there only for supper and would
then go off to more drill, a some
what discouraging outlook to me.
But as any soldier was a man to
whom I am sent, I had many pleas
ant visits by the way. One of the
hardest, of the men I was seeking
to locate was Carl Schmidtman. Back
and forth, to and fro I went, some
saying he was there, some, that he
was somewhere else. I was about
at the end of my patience and my
short legs seemed worn out and I had
been just told by a man in the door
way of the Depot Brigade Hedqrs
that no such man was there, when,
Just a few feet behind I saw Carl.
My but he was glad to see me! He
must have been almost as glod as
I was. Carl laid a little supper be
fore me and cups of coffee, I was
so thirsty.
Then we talked of all the folks,
then .we talked about them again.
Carl enjoyed it, I could see he did.
Sergeant Carl is a splendid fellow.
He is sergeant in the best barracks
of the best company of the best regi
ment of the best camp of the best
army of the best country In the best
i nlanet of "the universe. He sure is a
) booster and is. laved by. all the fel-
" I
lows I am sure. My what a fine
band they have in Carl's regiment,
no, this is not Carl saying it, I think
so, we stayed a while and heard it
Carl and I went to the 91st VY" and
had a visit with the secretaries. We
1hen had a song with the boys "The
battle Hymn of the Republic" and
"Brighten (he Corner" and "('town
Him Lord of All" and then heard Dr
Sweet, a baptist, talk on "When a
Fellar needs a "Friend." The ser
vice closed with asking how Uany
desired to have Jesus Christ as a
Friend.
Carl is undoubtedly a fine Chris
tian fellow and is not ashamed of his
profession of faith in the Master nor
afraid to let others see him read his
Bible. I missed something by not
knowing him better while at Platts
mouth, but I suppose there are plenty
of fine fellows in Plattsmouth undis
covered only needing the personal
touch to learn how good they be
But I think I have a better chance
here to know a man that I could have
under Ins home surroundings. Some
in soldier life succumb to temptation
to practice what is from best, but
there are fellows, who, propped up
at home, in the army rise superior
to their props and stand forth as
examples of the development by the
army of the under currents of dis
position, weakness or strength.
It costs o4 cents to go from the
City to the camp by jitney. I have
a corner in the hall of the building
that was intended as a place of wor
. . 1. 1 . . . .
mp uimj entertainment tv our
Church, but the camp has grown
away from its location, and we are
now about three miles from a place
of usefulness. Seats, organ, victrola.
hymnal, all here, but unused. The
Camp Paster is the best proposition
now ior the situation. But the
Camp Pastor cannot do much in a
collective way except in the even
ing from G until 10. I left the job
sooner than I wanted to last night.
I reach home by 10 and had to walk
home. But, my, I had had a great
day. I only brought one pair of
stout shoes I am wondering if they
will see me through or if I will soon
be able to see through them. I am
writing this morning before I go out
for I know I shall not do it to-night.
If any of the folk of the town
want to do something especial for
'.he "V" at Camp Dodge, there is a
great chance. A new wing has been
built but it lacks equipment: cur
tains, tables, chairs. They would
be pleased to have cash or goods to
fit up the place for use.
Yours in service.
THOS. TRUSCOTT.
