Goes Through With Role He Re hearsed, Has No Sense of Fear, Does His Share and Is Wounded. London.—Although admittedly scared in the first charge, a British soldier tells in the London Times how his chum’s death roused him to action and sent him rushing into the charge which resulted in his being wounded. The soldier before enlistment was a call boy in a London theater. “It was all right once the curtain was up,” says the soldier. "It was the first night’B wait for the advance which 1 found most trying, with the Incessant thunder of the guns and the shrieking of the shells over our heads. It was a most impressive overture to the great drama to come. This was my first appearance in a big battle. "Although I knew the part I was to play well enough, after the many months of rehearsals in England, I must own that I was shaky, like an actor on the first night, I suppose. Looking back now, it seems strange how quickly the feeling passed away. “My chum and I had agreed that we would stick together as long as we could, but our plans were soon upset. No sooner had we clambered out of our trench than he went down. This seemed to rouse me. I seemed to go mad with rage and hardly knew what I did. The most extraordinary thing was that I seemed then to have no fear of the hail of bullets which rained down upon us. They all seemed part of the play. “I was carried along by an over whelming impulse to get at the enemy and avenge my chum. I, like the rest of us, scampered as fast as my legs would carry me, slipping and sliding in the mud, until at length I went sprawling in the slush which had been churned up by the rain and shells. I had just scrambled to my feet again when I heard the order to renew the charge. “Leveling my bayonet, I rushed headlong forward, jumping over bod ies and barbed wire as though I was electrified. My first experience at battle was short and sweet, for I was bowled over at the firs trench. I re member plunging my bayonet into a huge German who confronted me with a leveled rifle. Then I was hit on the head by something or other which made me see more fire than I had seen during the whole time I had been out there. I hope to get a ‘return engage ment’ and be in the last act of all, but I have at least avenged my chum?’ Farm for rent. See W. F. Mason at First National Bank. Putting Them Off.

Come in and Look The Price is Right at THE REXALL STORE WESTERN NEBRASKA and COLORADO FARMS are fast increasing in value. Their 1915 yield of from 25 to 45 bushls of wheat per acre will exceed the present price of similar and adjoining lands. Indication point to the greatest demand for these deeded Western lands that the West has yet seen. The incoming inquiries show already the movement to get hold of one of these farms before it is too late; if you can buy these lands at from $15 to $35 an acre you can make up your mind that they will be 50 per cent higher in the near future. Dairymen are making money. The silo has revolutionized farming on these lands and insures a return value that has never been known. All farm improvements on adjacent lands bear testimony to their worth. Yuma County Colorado, last year produced $1,275,000 worth of wheat, $600,000 worth of corn and $1,280,000 worth of stock. This was about the production of other counties where these lands lie in Western Nebraska and Eastern Colorado. nLet me send you maps, folders, and place you in touch with land agents and otherwise help you. I am employed by the Burlington to do this. S. B. HOWARD, IMMIGRATION AGENT, 1004 Farnam Street, Omaha, Nebraska. AN AD IN THE NORTHWESTERN GETS RESULTS
