DeLaval
Cream Separator
We do not believe that a farmer who knows anything
about farm machinery could be induced to buy any separa
tor other than a DeLaval after he had seen the latest im
proved DeLeval machine and had given it a trial.
It is a fact that 99 per cent of all separator buyers who
do SEE AND TRY A DE LAVAL machine before buying
purchase the DeLaval and will have no other. The 1 per
cent who do not buy the DeLaval are those who allow
themselves to be influenced by some other consideration
besides real genuine separator merit.
If you are thinking about buying a cream separator wo will
consider it a favor if you will permit us to set up a DeLawil for
you on your own place and have you give it a fair trial.
You will be under no obligation to buy the machine if it does
not make good all our claims, and should you decide to keep
it and cannot convenietnly pay cash, you may do so on such
easy tertnR that it will actually save its costs while you are
paying for it.

A Mid-night Fire
At Camp Funston
Tuesday morning Major Fisher in
spected the Fourth platoon of this
company and stated that it was the
best in the second battulion of this
regiment. Since th.1t time the plat

tain Fisher, who had been in conuyand
of the company since it wus organized,
took up his duties us Major of the
Second batallion of this regiment. The
company were sorry to lose Captain
Fisher but were glad to see him ad
vance. The new Captain has had con
siderable military experience and ap
pears to thoroughly understand the
duties of his present office.
It becamo the duty of the company
to water the mules one day this week.
At eleven o'clock Friday night we

obliged to pack up his underwear,
mess kit and shoes and put them in
tjie barrack bag. Alsovtic up his
poncho and bedding and carry Them

welt; two men on each wagon who
drove the two span of mules. Each
company had a runner who Jiad to re
port at the headquarters building and
one who ordered the wagon. At
twelve o'clock the recall was sounded.
Then we returned to our barrackH and
retired for the night. Before the fire
we retired in our uniforms and over
alls. ,v
Saturday morning the company

we spent the morning digging
trenches. The ground contained much

thirteen surivors of the Princess Pat,
famous Canadian regiment, who spent ,
93 binn(li(' in ilin f t-nnnlino in Wntiftit
and Belgium, will give a vivid por
trayal of his experiences on the west
ern front in a lecture at the Orpheum
theater Tuesday evening Jan. 29.
His lecture includes descriptions of
many thrilling and terrific battles in
the early days of the war, life in the
tranches, conditions on the western
front, conditions which existed
in 11M and throughout the war up to
the present time and by means of
comparisons will show why the allies
will win.
A noteworthy feature in connection
with Sergeant Hanlcy's lecture is
5,000 feet of thrilling war pictures
taken along the western front by
dare-devil camera men, which show
every phase of the gieat European
conflict, each scene being described
and explained in detail by Sergeant
Hanlcy as it is flashed on the screen.
(flic film depicts conditions along
the entire western front. Once beau
tiful and now battle-scarred France
is shown with- the important cities
of Verdun and Ypres, where the most
important battles 'of the war 'aro tfoip
being fought. The film shows every
pliase of the great war from the front
line trenches, with battles in 'progress,
tojKhc hospitals behind the lines.
Life in the Trenches Vividly Por
trayed.
The film shows the German and
French front line trenches 40 feet
apart, with a terrific battle in pro
gress. This scene' shows the vast im
portance of bombs and hand grenades
which are used effectively when bat
tles are fought at close range. Gas
and liquid fire bombs arc seen burst
ing on both the German and French
trenches. , .
A thrilling battle in the air is. shown
between the German taubc and three
French aeroplanes which was taken
10,000 feet in the air, in which the
French pilot forced the German ma
chine to the ground.
An artillery duel in shown between
the allied big guns and the batteries
in which the big guns are seen blast
ing forth death-dealing projectiles,
In this battle high explosives, and
shrapnel is seen bursting on the Gcr
man trenches.
The film is not without humorous
moments as the method of cutting
the buttons off the pants of the Ger
man prisoners to keep them from
running away, is shown.
There arc many other thrilling
scenes showing pontoon bridges
which arc constructed in a very few
minutes by the engineers, observa
tion towers, balloon and aeroplane
observers in action, submarine chasers
and hydro acroplano in actipn, show
ing the method of hunting down
submarines, a deadly gas attack,
showing the use of respirators and
numerous other thrilling -scenes.
